Getting down to the home stretch here ladies and gents. Yes, a Montana guy checking in at 0400h.. just one of those I can't sleep nights. We survived our match yesterday, today we get to staff/work the match with all the other shooters coming in. Yesterday was a blast, even if it was a long day.

happy Saturday Folks!
Mark a day at the range is a good day indeed. Have fun
Carol please let us know if its 9:30 am or pm. Thanks
Great Work Howie.
Heron - Bummer sort of day, hope you're doing better with a new dawn.
Stacy - Great work with the Pet Therapy, our little buddies do some great things with folks, especially those in long term care. My team mate James T (Therapy) Dogg is a certified Alzheimer Facility Dog, What a lad. I tell folks all the time that he's got more medical credentials than most the people that work in the hospital do.
If I forgot any follow ups count it to a Senior moment and have a blessed day everybody.0 -
Sounds like it was a stressful week for a few of us. I hope you all had your beer last night and found a happy place. lol
Mark what's the temps like out there? Sounds like your still having fun regardless of the weather.
We had a fun week, we traded in our Ford Focus that had the wonderful transmission problems that Ford will not recall. Stay away from the new Focus's until they get that worked out, 2012 - 2014 not sure if they fixed it for this year or not. Anyway we got a Kia Soul and I can not believe the room they give you in those things. No wonder those fat hamsters on the commercial are happy with there car.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. We are getting ready to go to a memorial service for a friend we lost this week. He was a good man and we know he is getting many rewards in Heaven. RIP Bud St Clair.0 -
Whoops. Re post from other thread
Saturday. Ended up doing a rest day yesterday started doing squats and by rep 3 or 4 could not control my knee from doing a valgus collapse. Even BW.
In other news....discovered a great meditation app. Headspace. Free download. I suspect after the first 10 sessions it may cost to continue. I try to do some form of meditation most days, helps both with stress but I think focus too. Which helps me professionally. This app is a great way to try meditation if it's new to you.0 -
Just a quick Saturday check-in. Out of town and having fun!0

Hey everyone! Sorry for the confusion. The recording has to be at 9:30pm after the kids are asleep. Here is the info reposted:
*** Recording of the "Challenge Winners" show.**
Info for those that think they will be among the few, the proud:
9:30pm CST Wednesday Sept 3rd.
Google Hangout (please create a Google+ account - see below)
Headset mic or some type of headphones and external mic is recommended
To participate in a google hangout, you need to just go to Google and create an account if you don't already have one. You would then go to the Google+ page and search for Firearms Radio Network. Please "follow" that page (add it to your circles). I am still not sure you have to do this but it seems to make it easier.
Also - please test out the "Hangouts" if you can find that tab from the google+ page. Just click on it and start a hangout so the software downloads to your device ahead of time.0 -

Happy Sunday Folks.
Big Congrats to Carol for her Ice Bucket Challenge. Spreading the love is a great thing. BTW I up my donation to ALS by $10 for every one I challenged who follows up and does it. My donation is up to $40, and still growing. I didn't put a 24 hr time limit like some do but there is a limit. So If you do it in the next week and post a url I'll match your completion as stated earlier. Go for it.
Well its Dead lift Day for me Whoo hoot! this is the last week of my current periodization so next Sunday will be checking my 1RM. Then a deload week. and see where I go from there. Looking hard at doing 6-9 weeks of P 90X3. coupled with a bit of Ex bike Cardio.
I got the Transformation Recipe Books off of Kiefers site yesterday. Some great Ultra low carb recipes looking forward to exploring those.
Not a lot else for now. Keep on Jammin' Folks!!0 -
Sunday checking.. moving a bit slow today. Yesterday was a long day at the range at 12 hours. The temps were in the 50's, and it rained the entire day. We are very happy that we shot on Friday, and while it was cool, at least it was not rain. My boots soaked through, my jacket soaked through. I am sure that was worth a TON of calories
It was still fun, the boys held up as Staff members. Our stage looked like a Louisiana Bayou.. Up here at the house in the mountains it is still raining. They did talk about there being a possibility of snow, but we have not seen any. My wife did fire up the wood stove though..

Happy Sunday morning!
I swear yesterday all I did was eat and sit on my butt. Ugh. My brother up from TN visiting my mom. Drove the hour and half to her house and back. Was rainy all day so couldn't get out and do much. So sat on couch talking, going through old pictures etc. plus ate three big meals where is usually only eat twice. Ugh. Ugh ugh. I think I had sub 4000 steps for day.
Ironically the day after I was bragging about hitting 1 million steps in first 90 days of our corporate wellness challenge0 -
