Clay pigeon shooting

A few months back I had a great time with Ron shooting out on the plains of Iowa. He has an awesome over under shotgun. It was my first time shooting at anything that moved. I think I did alright for a first timer. I think I shot around 40 - 50%. The only other shooting I've done is at stationary targets. 22s at Scout Camp, 40 aught 6 at Philmont, and some cool rifles that I don't know with Curt and Cliff.

Eat Well



I think this picture says it all when it comes to my perception of food. Not so much of the cherry pie filling (which is wonderful), but in the concept. I love good food. Especially my Gran's mint brownies. I could eat half a sheet of those.

Scout Camp


I was able to spend the whole week with my boys down in Hoosier National Forest at Camp Maumee. We had lots of fun even though our first day got off to a rough start. I forgot some important papers that we needed to check in so I had to drive back home and pick them up. (2 hour round trip) On top of that, a mile outside of camp, Bro Bixler's tire exploded. So the scouts were stuck for a bit while I went to pick up a tire while I got the papers. Oh, and during my 2 hour trip getting things we had an enormous downpour that flooded some streets in Bloomington. After that terrible first morning, things went really well. We went swimming in the lake, fished, and the boys worked hard on their merit badges. The bishop came to visit and wouldn't stand too near the boys because of the smell. It was good to get back home at the end of the week.
