Out and about.

I have not had but one day here at the cave, to myself, in a while now. But I am not complaining. I have been out target practicing three times recently, business took a few days, and the auto needed an oil change and a minor recall taken care of today. Tomorrow I plan on going shooting again. But this time I am going to buy a target paper holder and target paper. I know the guns are doing well, finally, but I need to know how well, what changes I can make, and then get going on making the final adjustments. As well, I will be taking swimming trunks. Near the place I shoot in Logan Valley, there happens to be a stream. It is not a tiny little thing and it is not a full out river either. There are areas beavers or something have dammed it which provide handy little wading pools. Though it is not as cold as spring, it should provide enough cooling for my needs. I have been eying the little water greedily lately, and know I must take the plunge.

As well, and in spite of the cost for us out-of-staters, I really have to get a fishing license. I am so hungry for fish and the water looks good. I may have to get some water footwear too, as half of my last pair went away in the white-water event of '08. I can handle the cold, especially now. But some of my gear is still in storage. I do have my fishing gear out, but I could use some other things from storage. I will have to make that more of a priority. I need several things, from clothes, to gear, to books now.

I am getting more comfortable with the temps and dryness hereabouts. I need to moisturize much less often, and the heat is bearable if I can get out of it from time to time. I suspect that by the time it cools off, I will be ready for summer. The good thing is, I think winter here will be a breeze. I fully intend to figure out cross-country skiing this year. Maybe by December, when my lady friend suggests she will visit, I will be competent enough to take her out for that a time or two. Who knows though, she is a kook.

I really need to begin going through my stuff. I would like to get calculus under my belt again. I can do that in a few weeks if I push it. Then I can keep it sort of on top with a half a dozen hours of study a week. Physics needs to be studied as well. I would like to go over differential equations before too long, as well, but I do not have a good study pack for that, yet. I have not tried to make contact at the school yet, I suspect everyone is gone. Maybe in a week or two though, I will call and see if an adviser or professor or two is available and would be interested in discussing school.

I saw that I had not updated for the last few days. Though there really is not too much going on, I decided to do a minor post. Sorry, but heat and such make excitement a bit scarce.
