They are doing this ride in memory of John. We were all friends with him. We miss him greatly. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 2

It really is not that hard, just a test of mental toughness. None of us push to extremes, nor are the speeds so great. To accomplish this ride requires a 63 MPH average, not a fast pace on interstates. The difference is, we only stop for fuel and to pee. We eat out of our tank bags and drink from camel packs or something similar. Neither of them will be pushing their safety. There is enough time in there for a 1-2 hour nap, if they so choose. Live life, it is fun!

They are 7.5 hours in and 550 miles done. Moving right along. Thanks for the positive words!

Both of them have done 1200 miles in 24 hours already, Kate multiple times. They are two bad ass chickas!

Wanted to post this. My GF, Kate, and our Friend Minna are out on a BBG attempt. BBG = Bun Burner Gold, an Iron Butt certification ride. 1,500 miles in 24 hours. They left Jersey City, NJ today at 10:52 AM and are headed for Dallas, TX. Total of 1540 miles. Kate is riding her F800ST and Minna is riding her F650. They rode all morning into a 25+mph headwind and rain. They are about 300 miles in and going strong. You can track their progress here: I am so proud of both of them. Wish them luck.

One of the joys of our country. If a person has a right to use a park bench as their address for voting, that should extend to all rights, not just selected rights. As for keeping it at the bench, etc, I do not believe I ever said it was a good idea or practical, but in a scholarly discussion, if a park bench is a valid address for voting, then it should be a valid address for all other areas where an address is required.

Federal judge. I remember this has come up several times and each time ti was held that one could use a public space as an address. Hypothetically, this should extend to gun ownership as well.

As per this ruling, a Park Bench can be used as an address. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2008/10/28/ajudgerule.html

My take re: the pumpkin stage. I LOVED it. Nice variation and interesting. There was some discussion re: if you could put multiple mags in one pumpkin, and the smart guys figured you could run the stage in a loop and did much better than I. I am ASSUMING that the intent was to have us grab 1 mag from each pumpkin and for the stage to be run in sequence. IF that was the case, a couple fault lines and more clarity in the stage description could have guided more shooters that way. If not, then I just made poor decisions on how to run the stage. The discussion came up re: multiple mags in a pumpkin because a revolver shooter could not grab 1 moon clip from each pumpkin and do the stage. One way or the other, I really liked that one. Definitely fun and in the spirit of the holiday!

Just did that and it worked. Sweet. Annoying thing is I have spent so much $ at Cabelas, my card is now a Silver or some such and the 3Turkey only works with the basic card. How's that for stupid? I know I could call them and get the shipping removed, but not worth it for $5. I just used the club5 discount.

Yeah, I got that. It was still my best stage! Normally I mess up the qualifiers. I was just hoping there was an online tool to look up how I did. Thanks for the clarification on timing of when they will be available.

Not only runs it is the guys daily driver, as per my buddy who works down the street from where the photo was taken. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 2

Got one, thanks!

A FB friend told me that this car is a daily driver. Very cool Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 2

I swear, when I hear you guys talk about practice, it makes my head hurt how wrong headed and ignorant some of you can be. This is USPSA we are talking about. If you are going to practice, practice the right things. Here is my training regimen, for all you neanderthals: EVERY DAY I practice the following: Standing Loading mags with 10 rounds Making excuses for poor shooting Looking closely at perforated items to see if I "broke the perf" Talking about firearms and equipment Asking people "how are you gonna do this one?" Practice saying "Man it's hot" or "Man its cold" or "Man it is wet", depending on prevailing conditions Jeez.

Great composition. Good choice going B&W, allows the patterns to speak for themselves.

That is what I meant, the percentage. It was my best stage, so wahoo!

Anyone know a calculator so I can figure my HF for the qualifier on Sunday? I looked at some calculators online, but they don't have the 13-x stages yet.

I might actually get ranked now. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 2

I love s&b for competition. Soft shooting stuff. I just can't justify any more ammo right now. I have a lot more than I thought...., Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 2

85% chance the GF and I will be there in the afternoon.

My qb got me a lot of points last night and I had Carolina D. Good Thursday for me. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 2
