Bruce - did you mean to cut the guy's arm off?
I like Mike's art / guy with full arm/hand. I like your "Second place" thing. And due to some unforeseen circumstances related to work and whatever, I'm coming to this match with two or three people. We are either 3, 4, or 5 total. I'll know and fill out the forms in the next couple of days.

Great. My old one is getting threadbare from wearing it so much. May have to order a couple of replacements this time.
 EDITED TO ADD Just remember Stimpy, you have the Shlomo Second plaques already, so no need for another award unless you just want to out of the goodness of your heart.

That damn "real life" stuff has reared it's ugly head again today and let me know my priorities have changed. I will NOT be coming down on Friday and helping with set-up or the Ruby Tuesday meet-up, and may not be coming down at all.
My best scenario at this point is to drive down early Saturday morning and get there before lunch to shoot. Whether I spend the night and come home Sunday morning, or drive down, shoot, and drive back home again Saturday evening is still debatable. Time will tell as my schedule evolves, but at this point I have obligations both the week prior and the week after that I cannot change, and am at the whim of customer schedules. Bruce, I will mail you the ARS prize table donation goodies (that I forgot to bring last year) when I get back to the US in a couple of weeks. They will be there this time even if I don't make it.

My shirt order is in and will be on the way when done.
Shredder worked great, again. Really like this option. Makes it easy for us and probably a lot easier for you, Stimpy. Like the color you picked too.

PLEASE be sure to tell any MDs you know about Shredder. They have been great to work with and really take a problematic load off the organizer.

Internal dialogue:
I have too many t-shirts. But that's a pretty cool shirt. You can't even fit them all in a single drawer anymore. But it's an FN crazy shirt! Two drawers are full. Don't be stupid. I'm not stupid - I'm FN crazy!!!  Who will win. Too early to tell. I must stay strong until the 15th...

Is anybody practicing this year? With the RNG coming so close after this, I have zero time for FAL Match practice.
I'm going to just show up and have fun, and let the bullets fall where they may.

I am planning to go to the range this Friday and if all goes well verify zero, check ammo function, and see if 168 gr HPBT shoot better in my FALs than Mil-Surp.
Invictus, did you get my letter? Or, should I say, did BZ tell you that you've got mail?

No money, just that item we discussed. She might have thought it a piece of jewelry since is was made from shiny yellow metal. And because it was brass, she may have thought you sent it home.
