Gingerninja Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I dig shooting sporting clays. It's like golf with guns! My hubby is *way* into it. I have a low end Remington 930 12 gauge. He's finding a new stock for me...I need a "junior" sized stock or something. The current one is way too long! @Devious6 Devious6 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2521-post-awesome-things-you-have-been-doing-recently/?page=70#findComment-130492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious6 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I don't get out very often - but really enjoy shooting Sporting Clays. I just need to find more time to go do it - maybe when I retire in a few years. I've been thinking of getting an auto thrower for here at our farm - one with a foot pedal release. Who knows? I went way overboard when I got my shotgun for clays - Lynn got it for me for Christmas a few years ago; a Browning Citori 725 Sporting Clays model.

Boiled Dove Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Got a call from a recruiter a couple of weeks ago, didn't really think anything would come of it. Now, two phone interviews later they are flying me out to New Hampshire next week for a F2F and likely an offer. Would anyone in their right mind move from Dallas to New Hampshire at the beginning of winter? Oh my, I'm going to have a decision to make soon. Crazy times.

Rob I Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 The winters may be rough, but New Hampshire is the most free state in the country and one of the most beautiful. I love it here but admit I'd like to spend my summers in Florida.

Charles.M Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Just started collecting and reading the new Lone Wolf and Cub series by Kazuo Koike and Hideki Mori. Collected and read the first series (Lone Wolf and Cub) and it was awesome, the first series was awarded lots of honors for historical accuracy in depicting life in Edo period japan. Original had lots of tattoos. Very worth a read Devious6 and a_beukeveld 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2521-post-awesome-things-you-have-been-doing-recently/?page=70#findComment-130614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious6 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Spent a long weekend on a trip down to The Bourbon Trail in Kentucky. About 7 years ago we signed up to be Maker's Mark Ambassadors - costs nothing and they send you a present each year at Christmas. They also put your name on a barrel plate and, when the barrel matures - 6 to 7 years later - you get invited to the distillery for a free tour, tasting and you can buy bottles from your batch. They put a special label on the bottle(s) and you get to hand-dip it in the traditional red wax and seal it with the Ambassador's seal. It was a blast - and we hit several other distilleries and great restaurants along the way. The weather was warm and, since we took the Z3, we enjoyed some top-down days. Here are our bottles and Lynn watching while I dipped mine. And Lynn dipping her bottle.

Boiled Dove Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 So, I had my interview up in New Hampshire this week. Interview went really well and I would be surprised if they don't offer me the job. Manchester is a small city and it didn't seem like there was much of a scene there. I did find a shop that looks like they put out some solid work though. http://bulletprooftigertattoo.com/ https://www.instagram.com/bulletprooftigertattoo/ I have no people in Manchester though so if I do take the job looking for an apartment and moving my crap in might be rather difficult. But I could get a solid tattoo once I settle in. So there is that.
