Thanks, folks. Hope everyone had a good time. I'll be there for the next one.
Count on it.
Besides, I still need some help getting an as-new .45 Broomhandle Mauser broken in and running right. I'm sure a few of you locals can help with that, although I know it's an imposition to get folks to run free ammo through "you-actually-shoot-that-thing?" guns like that one. I'm such a burden sometimes.
You know, right on the face of it, I have as much fun letting other people shoot my stuff (If not MORE.) as I do shooting it. Nothing compares to smearing great big smiles all over people's faces. Must be why I like to take out new shooters so much. For me, that completely offsets any sort of ammo cost and then some.
"Ammo's free today. It is the duty of all shooters to make new shooters. The best way to do that is to take people to the range and HAND THEM A GUN!"---Colin, in DSP's "Most Wanted"
Therefore, rest assured that ANYTHING I show up with at the range is available for the trying so long as ammo remains to run it. Free. (Although I wouldn't mind trying out YOUR stuff.
) And I have some pretty cool stuff, so long as you like older-flavored guns with substantially odd appearances.
Like I said. Next time. This seems to be a nice regular thing we got going, here. The lovely range that is LAR&GC helps a bunch. Makes the drive all worth it.
BTW, re: the car. I'm past the point of wishing grim cosequences on the perps, much less the world at large. That means I don't want 'em to get squished in my car because I want the durn thing BACK, preferably in one piece!
I expect I will, eventually. The car was too beat to be worth stripping. It only has 2-3 things on it worth anything, like the engine, tranny, and the right front fender. The interior was destroyed, the stereo's old junk, and if you don't know the secrets, the cooling system's going to kill the motor. THAT prospect scares me the most, as it means I may get it back in ruined condition beyond my means to easily repair it. A new/different motor might cost more than the $2100 I paid for the car in the first place.
A $2100 Porsche 928? Yup. I told you it was BEAT. Completely mystifies me WHY any car thief in his right mind would steal my car. Even with the amount of personal work I've put into it to make it a sweet drive, it couldn't be worth more than about $3000.
Oh well. Criminals aren't generally criminals 'cuz they're SMART.
