A safe racing season for everyone. I'm really tired of my friends getting hurt and dying.

And succes for all, even knowing that's not possible because there can be only one winner in any race. But, you're all winners in my book just being out there giving 'em hell each weekend.

Good luck to all next year and Merry Christmas!!

I want a tire sponsor for next year and a set of leathers that aren't too short.  And a new helmet.
And a dirt bike.  A KTM 250 SX-F in particular.
And my girlfriend to move back here from Arkansas.
Most of all, a lot of time with my grandfather.

Castrol SRF Brake Fluid and a Tapco collapsable stock for our Ruger 10/22.

Magically, I'd like an M1 Garand, but I know that that's not going to happen.

I'd take a bit of the Osama Xmas present too.


Having kids, it is actually a lot more fun to give.  I think this year is going to be fun.

I have a FWB 603 (like the one in the picture but with the colored stock) SSP (single stroke pneumatic).
I also have a couple spring rifles and a couple SSP pistols.
No CO2 or precharged.

Cool beans I thought I was like the only person in the world that digs air guns .
What most people think is child's play i find very challenging .Little do they know ,breathing ,trigger control and consistency . will make any one a better shot.
After you can hunt small game with air ,deer are like shooting the side of a barn.
My collection includes 22cal RWS52 ,beeman R1,20cal, P1 177cal and a cool Colt co2.
The Beeman R1 is my baby w/ tyrolien walnut stock,modified spring and trigger.

My favorite - FWB 603
I have an R1 also, Maccari piston and spring
Air Arms TX200 with Maccari tune and trigger with walnut stock
IZH 46 10m pistol
Beeman P3 pistol

I find shooting them very challenging also. Havn't shot much in the last couple years, but I enjoy 10m, field target, IFP (international field position - held state and tied national record - for a week - in the spring class), silhouette, and just plinking. Not what the average person thinks of when you say pellet gun.

I know you are thinking what did that paper ever do to me. They are asking for it. Why else would they let themselves be drawn with a cross hair?

For variety I also shoot at animal shaped metal targets, green army men, tooth picks, bottle caps, aspirin, etc, and the occasional spider that wanders within range :)

Well we may know each other then sounds like the same shooting I did in the 90's .
I also held a shooting title once .
We shot foam shaped small game at the end of a long string ,followed by a partner around the woods .

Actually I rarely kill them around the house. The crawl space has many examples. However when one wonders into my shooting range I am up for the challenge. Daddy long legs at 10m, offhand, only body hit counts, high score if the legs get left behind.

Just something that will never happen in my life...........happiness and good will for all. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

Laurel got her unexpected gift Sat. morning at Corse Superbikes. We went there for their annual Christmas gathering of friends. Coffee, soft drinks, snacks and lots of cookies.

As I was scanning the many machines on the sales floor I noticed a bike that we had talked about for Laurel. A DR200 dual sport Suzuki. I called her over and had her sit on it for sizing purposes. She is vertically challenged after all, ya know? Though it is a little tall we decided with a little creativity we could get it down to a rideable level for her. So.......Laurel is now the proud owner of a 2005 (slightly used) DR200 Suzuki. The bike was a loaner to a MSF riders school, so it has a little wear on it but very minor stuff. Considering it's going in the dirt anyway, what the hell are a few scratches?

Sammy gave us such a deal on the bike ..........we had to buy it!!

So, once again, Merry Christmas to all................and to all a good bike!!

Merry Christmas from Bahrain!  I finally made it, and I mean FINALLY!  I started out on the 22nd, and got here on the 25th.  I won't bore you with the gruesome details.  Spent the 25th doing some shopping and going to a Christmas party.  Yeah, that was strange, considering where I am, and it was like I was teleported back to the States.  My son greeted me at the airport with a long stem red rose, and I cried.  Many things planned for me the next 10 days, which should be fun!  Love you guys, and wish you were here!
