"The old man's still quite an artist with the Thompson..."

Well, not me. But, I did get to shoot a Thompson on Saturday. I went to a tactical carbine match with some friends, you see. This, if you've never done it, is a great stress relief. One becomes so focused on safety and problem solving, that pretty much everything else that's happened recently dissolves.

The stages we ran were everything from plain simple (peek around board, shoot one target six times, reload, shoot second target six times) to rather complex (surrounded up close by unpleasantness or rescue an injured buddy).

By the time the match was over, I was rather tired and immensely hungry. A few of the folks who participated with us went home with quite a sunburn. I'm fortunate that my heritage is just very visible today.

We solved immense hunger by visiting an all you can eat BBQ restaurant. Fatigue was solved by watching DVD's all night and working on AEG's.
