Flying in the dead of winter...

I got to experience a soaring simulator called Condor. My friend, Bruno, has been talking up this program for a year or so. Now I know why. Not only is it quite a bit like flying my own plane, I was able to fly along with other pilots...online. Very cool.

It's been a long time...

...since I've shot a large caliber hunting rifle. Okay, I know there are bigger calibers but a .30-06 is big for me. 12 shots and 12 holes, all from 100 yards. It's a start. On the drive home I was wondering when I've shot last. About four years ago I shot about 30 rounds of .22. Fourteen years ago I borrowed a .243 from a friend; one shot and I brought a deer home. Twenty-seven years ago I bought a Remington .308 and only shot it a few times. So you see, I have very little experience. Must shoot more.

The New Year has finally arrived. And what do have to look forward to? " Obama-tics". On a brighter note there is quiche in the oven and black eyed peas in the crock pot. I think I'll go sight in my rifle. It's going to be a good day.
