Shooting, tomorrow I do believe.

.

My neighbor and myself are going to shoot tomorrow. I am not sure where, but if we go to the first shooting area, I am going to take my swimming trunks. Hmm, actually all of the shooting areas have some stream or "lake" (really a dammed lake) in which to swim. So, a towel, trunks, and a willingness to just get in there will be all I need. I even have a 'changing shack' to take with. It is actually an enclosed camping shower, but it will work if needed. I did say I had been collecting gear, right? I knew I would not need a changing room, but when dealing with women and camping, one must facilitate. And, of course, I like to surprise a girl (lady, woman, they are all those things and more, but the term girl works, and they even like that sometimes). Being a little ahead of her on her needs and wants is no small way to win favor.

Anyway, I will be taking the .45 for which I will try to grab 150 more rounds. Of the 3boxes, only one will be to shoot. I am trying to stock up on ammo. As I said, I would like to get 2k to 4k of that on hand. I want to shoot that since I cleaned it down to the bolts and butt, toes and forehead, and all. In part, I want to bang some of the extra lube out. I will just clean the barrel after this shoot. But I really just want to see if she is shooting more smoothly. It is fun to shoot a creamy gun that just bangs and whizzes and bangs again. I will also be taking my .22 pistol and rifle. I should be able to finish targeting the rifle. Then I can begin getting them targeted in for the hunter's safety course shoot. I do not know if they will let me use the pistol yet or I would just take it and concentrate on it. The pistol is so much lighter and easier to shoot. And at 50 feet, I cannot miss unless I just look away and pull the trigger as fast as I can.

I do need a day off and soon though. A day of rest, just in the house. Those are addictive though, and detrimental until they become a true rarity. To that end, I may do some laundry tomorrow too, and try to make it to Church this Sunday. It is about time I get that Churchy project started. I have been holding off on that, for a number of reasons. But I really need to get that project going. I will find out about confession too, when that is held, and take care of that. Though I still fear that a bit, I feel tons better when it is tended. It is almost like a haircut. :p

I am so amazed that life has picked up so strongly here. One might suggest psychosomatic impulses drive this, but I would doubt that. I have had that affect before. It simply does not last this long. And, it never survives a real crash that I seemed headed for a few weeks ago. Each week, as time passes, and in spite of the heat, I am able to do more and more. I am in the middle of literally a dozen separate projects, all multi-faceted, relatively complex, time consuming, requiring thought interaction and timing, and through time, adding or having projects added all the time. I have also completed about that many various projects. I only have so much money, so much time, and so much energy, if that last is increasing as I push and am pushed, that I have to really be careful. But it is magical!

I did note, when speaking to the professor and her husband, that should I graduate whether I stop at undergraduate or not, I will not be leaving Utah. If I cannot get to graduate school here, I simply will not go (though there are quite a number of colleges in state which offer a masters in engineering, it is a good state that way, like Iowa is or was). She, and he as well, suggested that I would not need to move even before I said I would not. I do like this state, at least the northern and mountainous more rural areas. You can keep Salt Lake City, though if required for a masters, I would, grudgingly, do that.

I even have a project in mind, a project to help someone. I am not sure how far I can float it, as I could never do it all on my own. There is someone who needs some serious help. I am making plans to go around to some people and organizations who could help. I am willing to put some of my own money into it as well as time and effort. It may be a bit of a struggle. Pride is a difficult thing to overcome. But I think in the end, I might be able to do a really good thing for someone who could really use the assistance. There may be more too it than pride, but I think that can be overcome too. It is just a thought currently, one I have been rolling around and hammering out. But to be a part in vastly improving someone's life, health, and social possibilities is a very good thing.

The night is cool. The moon is out and nearly full. And it has been a long day. So, good night.
