Who says leanring reading and writing is not that important

Finally worked up the courage to sign up for a pistol competition. Found an email from http://silvereaglegroup.com/ The challenge is for a team of 4 to compete in a single elimination. Sine I don’t have any friends, I signed up just myself but would just go 4 times. The entry cost is $80. When I arrived I found out how the course is laid out. It was a pretty good challenge. This is the layout:

Having been a single competitor, we ran the course late in the match.  I was really happy with my times, but my accuracy wasn’t on point.

In my group of three I cam in last. The one thing the instructors didn’t go over was the scoring on the regular targets. Head shots were -2 seconds, so these 2 gubers were aiming for all the heads. The 2nd place was ~70 seconds and the 1st place was ~28 seconds. One rounds and done. Unfortunately the drive is 1.5 hours there and 1 back using the toll road. This added another $14 to the total cost plus 2 gallons of gas. As fun as the event was, the juice was not worth the squeeze.

I had a terrible experience flying on United to San Francisco. Let’s talk about why. Both aircrafts had mechanical issues that sigifcantly delayed my arrival. 1.5 hours the 1st flight and 2 hours for the second. While leaving Dulles, there was a Mom with an infant and they would not let her board early. She was in the last boarding group so she the last person to board. Finally, on a 4 hour flight the only thing free on the flight were drinks. No peanuts, no pretzels nothing to munch on. Come on. That makes no sense. There is so much waste on the craft with the magazines and holders behind the seat. Get rid of all that and I am sure I can check a bag for free. I still dont understand why it costs $25 to check a bag at the terminal, but I can check a bag for free at the gate. Why do we run out of overhead space? Every flight. Why can’t you get rid of all the overhead compartments and check everything. Wouldn’t that save even more weight? Also, why are the sodas delivered in cans? Why not install a dispenser? Wouldn’t that require less weight?  In the end money talks, so I am going to take my business elsewhere.
