Okay Fun Things!!

Okay so this is going to be one of those posts that is fun and not a bad thing at all. We went shooting!! YEAH!!!!!!!!! We also went to watch the fights and got more than what we expected. So double the points.

We will start with the fight first. We were luck to get really good seats and sit just a few feet from the cage door. There were only light and welter weight fights but thats okay. There was also a chick fight so that was entertaining. There was also a little extra fight that went on in and out of the cage. The father of one of the fighters got upset and stormed the cage and tried to go after the other fighter. A very large security guard rushed him and tackled him out of the cage to the concrete three feet below. After which three police men took him out the back door and he was gone. The rest of the fights were good and we had a good night.

Okay so the next day we went out to the desert and went for a old fashioned shoot. We only took the rifles with us this time but the pistol will come soon. To start, the Nagant shot amazing. I haven't shot it since I got the new stock and everything for my birthday. It was so much more fun to shoot and so much easier. The felt recoil was so much less. Its is a very nice rifle now. We also took along the .22 just so that we could do some good plinking and have some fun with it. We are hoping to go back out with the pistol next weekend or at the first of the month. Here are a few pics of shooting.

Over Time Work

Okay so this will hit home for lots of people and I'm sorry for everyone out there that feels the pain. Over time work is stupid. Okay yes sometimes it is good to have the extra money and what not. But, I think that for most of us it is just a giant pain. You have already put in 40 hours of work and you are just so so very ready to be done with the work week so you can just have some time to your self but then "THE MAN" has to say, " Oh wait, I need to have you stay late" or "I need you to come in on Saturday" or anything to that effect. And for all those people out there that are on call for any reason and you are just getting ready to have a nice dinner with your spouse and then just as you get your food you hear the phone. I left work not even twenty minutes ago and now you think that because your light got burned out in your kitchen or you just let your stupid kid flush an entire orange down the toilet and now it is over flowing onto the floor that I don't have a life and all I do is wait by the phone and hope that you call me and I can come clean up your mess and try to make you happy. Oh and I love getting the calls in the middle of the night from those people that don't really speak english and want to yell at me on the phone at 2A.M. and tell me that your stove doesn't work. What are you doing cooking it this time in the morning? And why can't it wait for the next four hours til I'm awake and can fix it during normal buisness hour? To all these people you need to listen really close, I HATE YOU ALL!!!!! And on the behalf of my lovely wife, manditory over time is total and complete Bull Shit! You are taking my wife away from me early in the morning and I HATE YOU TOO!! So to sum it all up, I HATE overtime. So lets just be smart and plan better so that no one will have to work over time and get bent out of shape.

Something More Positive

Okay so lets go away form the bad things and lets be happy for at least one entry. Today I am buying 500 rounds of 7.62x54R ammo for my pimped out Mosin Nagant. This weekend I will be taking it out to the dessert and killing some paper and maybe blowing up a ground chuck or two. I need to sight in my new scope first but that should only take a few minutes. We will be training in rifle marksmanship and also in pistol combat. I can't wait to get back out there and get back up to par or maybe a little farther. So I will be taking some pics and video and will be posting them this next week some time. So keep listening.
