Pepper Report...

No accidents today, but the back door was open for her. Somehow all of her toys have migrated to the patio.

Good Tuesday morning everyone.

I remember back when one of my 20 something work buddies got married. He said their honeymoon was in a RV. He said that made it real convenient with the shower, kitchen and bed all within a couple of steps. They only came out to get more food and beer. When he came back to work he could hardly walk. No one had any sympathy for him.

Maybe he got all growed up and wont play with us anymore?

Joe, she didn't like that grip over the sling on the elbow method. She might be too short in her arms.

Rick, so how much of the floor is clean now?

Durable as well. Good idea.

Don't need dirt, we have an extra half ton of soft play sand sitting next to the other garage.

Are you sure this isn't a second Monday???

Getting really tired of people that don't know anything about email and spam filters trying to tell me how to do my job. Especially when their ideas don't work at all!!!

Aaaaarrrrgh! What the *$&@))! do I know, I've only been managing email servers and spam filters since 1991, 23 years???

It is so annoying actually knowing how to do your job and working with a bunch of people that don't expect you to because they don't know theirs.

Interesting trivia for Joe.

From IMFDB.com

Jim Zubiena served as a firearms instructor on the television show Miami Vice. He was also an accomplished IPSC shooter in the seventies and eighties and was renowned for his speed and accuracy with an M1911A1. The gun handling skills he displayed in the famous episode The Hit List from the first season of Miami Vice were real not rehearsed. He can now be found competing on the Cowboy Action Shooting Circuit. He is also an actor and a member of the Screen Actors Guild (you can see him giving Glaser Safety Slugs to William Petersen in the film Manhunter.) He designed the custom 1911A1 used by Don Johnson in Nash Bridges.

Check his grip.

Hold that muzzle down, especially when firing fully automatic from the hip.

What I know about firearms and form for shooting accuracy wouldn't fill a tea cup. All I really know is to stand with your feet and shoulders square to the target and use both hands. I'm kinda screwed for any sort of speed because I am right handed and left eye dominate. I have to think about looking down the sights with my right eye and not let my left eye try to take over aiming.

Retraining the left hand to be dominant would be the easiest resolution there.
