Jersey Bratt (my significant other) went with me to Wartrace today and she shot 8 stages, I timed her and offered suggestions. And she's not mad at me!!But we went through 2 100 rd boxes of ammo and that made me grumpy that we didn't have more. I'm pushing her gently to shoot her FIRST match on Sat.

Get off the LAWN

Congrats on getting her out to play.

Now watch her start to out shoot ya!

That happened to me years ago, when we used to shoot ISU.

She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed was then with the Queens Cowboys and shot well in training with her service pistol, to the point that her transition to what I was doing came easily.

Unfortunately, her health now keeps her out of the game, but she doesn't begrudge the time I spend on it now in my retirement.

Imis congrats on getting Jersy Bratt out shooting with you. There's nothing quite like shooting with your cowgirl. Granny One Shot and I have been shooting CAS together since 2007 and it's been great. I get to buy more guns and spend time more shooting than ever now. If anything she is much more competitive than I am and out shoots me quite often.

Grumps

Yep I'm glad she's gonna make the transition from scorekeeper to being the one who's score is recorded.We set the range on fire the day I met her, 6 years ago. Only burned one berm, it was 3 weeks before we hosted the TN State Match and there was lots of fresh new straw mat and fresh seeded ground. I was INSTRUCTED no more pyrotechnic loads at Wartrace, after that. Lots of folks were grumpy that day.

Jabez ......you out there? We're keeping the tradition alive.

Cowpeeps.....GET OF THE ALREADY GROWING GRASS

LOL :D that is to funny Imis your story made me less grumpy, thank goodness I wasn't drinking coffee or I would have drowned my keyboard. My wife Granny is hot but we've never started a fire, course at our age we would need to use a match. Hopefully we'll have the opportunity to shoot with the two of you someday. We like to travel to shoots and plan to spend as much of next winter in the USA traveling to different shoots.

If you and Granny get as far south as Tennessee we would love to have ya''ll shoot at Wartrace, we host the Tennessee State match, Regulators Reckoning the second weekend of October each year. It is a very well thought of match at a first rate facility.Oct 12-14, 2017. I believe that qualifies as winter in Saskatchawan. We usually have great weather, 50 degree days that time of year. YA"LL Come. Or any other time, too, we shoot first and third Sat all year, above 40F

And if not I will be Grumpy

Imis

Now kindly remove yourselves from my immaculately manicure lawn

You just never know where Granny and I could show up Imis. We like to shoot new place and make new friends so at some point in the next couple years who knows we just might get there.

The nice thing about senility is not remembering that you ever made a mistake. Since that makes me perfect, it makes

me really grumpy if a TO and spotters call a MISS!!!

 

What the H--- are they thinking!!!

We're lightweights and cant get rain to freeze at 60 degrees.Must be a lack of talent.

Imis

We just turn the temperature down enough that we want to stay inside by the fire. Seems like that's cold enough to make the rain freeze or turn to snow!! LOL

Service the lawn mower?

I'm still scraping ice off the driveway after running the snow-blower!

Getting ready for Winter Camp 5 during our winter festival - Winterlude!

Skating on the Rideau Canal, snow-shoe races, cross-country skiing, sled dog races, sleigh rides, trail rides on our snowmobiles.

Up here, we learn to play in the *^%&%$* stuff!

Now:

GET OFF MY LAWN!

Winter Camp 5 today, with Red Storm, Regulator, as Posse Marshal/Match Director/Chief Waddie.

Temperature a balmy -12° with some snow.

Heated shooting cabins and a beans hot lunch around the wood stove, with pards in the club house. What could be any better?

And there I sat with a banged up knee that I had trouble bending and couldn't shoot. That makes me Grumpier than ever!

Rooster, Territorial Governor, had to leave with a cold anyway and stayed away from my place. (And here I had stocked extra coffee just for him!)

Thanks to the pards and buckaroos who stayed to help put away the steel and strike the shooting sheds.

Now:

GET OFF THE LAWN!

Oh sure! Rub it in!

You got the mild weather out in God's country.

I got snow. Lots and lots of snow.

Blower is now having problems getting it up high enough to get it over the banks.

Driveway is starting to resemble a tunnel.

And it's still coming down; so;

GET OFF MY LAWN!!

Wish I could say the same about the snow. Driveway looked like a tunnel until I was able to shovel a few feet off the top of the pile, to get ready for the next dump.

Snow blower was having trouble shooting the snow to the top of the pile

Melting a bit today, but nothing like your way Jabez!

Gotta miss those Chinooks!

And:

GET OFF THE LAWN!
