Howdy Pardners and Pardnerettes!
Yesterday turned out to be a real busy day for this hombre! Thank goodness I'll be working 8 hours today because I need the rest!
A member from the White's forum (his handle is Deuce) drove out to Longmont from his home in Utah, and we met up there for breakfast and a quick hunt afterward. Longmont is about 50 miles from my house, so it was pretty much in the neighborhood by contrast with the distance Deuce covered. He didn't have his detector along, so I let him swing my MXT Pro while I hunted with my V3i. We found some clad, but nothing to write home about really. I did demonstrate how using a GPS made finding places to hunt really easy, because I don't actually know my way around Longmont. Oh, and I discovered that I was able to kneel in order to dig targets from grassy areas for the first time, and celebrated by doing that several times on this hunt.
After we parted company, I drove back to Aurora and dropped by my local gun shop and shooting range. I decided I really deserved a new toy and after the background check cleared, walked out with a Ruger .40 cal P94 pistol and some ammo. Now I can't hardly wait to visit the pistol range and send a bit of lead downrange. But at that particular time, I had bigger fish to fry.
I'd decided to sell some of my gold and went to visit a gentleman who gives me a fair price down in the far south end of town. I got there and sold some of my gold and walked out with a nice check for $475.00 to bolster my bank account.
After Pipster got home, he checked out my new pistol and thought I'd made a real good purchase and suggested we visit the pistol range on our next days off together. We aim (no pun intended) to do that tomorrow (Thursday) and I can barely wait. There is something real satisfying about slinging a little lead in the morning!
Blessings,
M-Taliesin
