Yesterday's shootie goodness wound up getting canceled in favor of appliance shopping (such is the boundless hedonism of home ownership...). I'd like to get to the range, seeing as how I haven't been in well over a month (getting closer to two months now, actually; that's what happens in vacation season!). I haven't given a proper range report for the Hi-Power; I haven't even shot the New Frontier (that I bought back in April!!!) yet.
On the flip side, I've only had the Harley out once since Memorial Day. It rained almost literally all of June (we did not have a single day where it wasn't at least cloudy with sprinkles), and while I can and have ridden in the rain (and most likely will again on occasions too numerous to count), I'd prefer to avoid it if possible. Because of Disney and work considerations I missed going up to Bike Week in Laconia for the first time since I bought the Harley, and haven't made any long trips this year at all.
So... Bike ride... or range trip???
(And no, riding to the range really doesn't do it. The range is only four miles away, and taking anything other than a couple a pistols is problematic on two wheels...)
That is all.

Two different frames of mind for me. Sure is a nice day for a ride though. The wife is begging to go, but I have a splitting headache and not really in the mood. I'd really like to do *something* this weekend, but I really just feel like vegging with a cold beer and some munchie food.
Beer won. Cracked open a growler of Woodstock's Kanc Country Maple Porter.
Shoot.
mopar,
It's the same frame of mind for me - relaxation/recreation (I had a target shooting expedition planned).
Besides, a bad day riding/shooting is still better than a good day at the office... ;)
Keith,
That's what I did. Range report tomorry...
Gah. I suck.
Sorry about the weekend.
We'll be ready to read it
Borepatch,
As much as I enjoy your company whenever we go to the range together, I also enjoy a nice, quiet, solo outing.
In fact, I sat down tonight and realized that I hadn't been shooting solo since sometime in February or March...
>and taking anything other than a couple a pistols is problematic on two wheels<
I call wimp.
I can (and have) gone trap shooting with the bike as transport. Both just for myself, and with Spoon (me carrying both guns on my bike, but she on her own scoot). You just have to know how to use bungee cords properly...
