It’s like walking on pillows…It’s like walking on pillows…

and it effin’ sexy.

It still amazes me how ingenuity and data can still solve problems that are perceived to be solved. Maybe perception is 9/10ths of the problem.

Well, that went well…Well, that went well…

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.

This is what we should be spending our money onThis is what we should be spending our money on

I like how much data they developed to come up with the solution.

On a different note, here are some guidelines for your selfies http://lifehacker.com/5879115/how-to-look-your-best-in-photos/all Having a good picture of yourself is surprisingly difficult. Remember, tilt your head.

Riveting. You know you will watch the World’s Strongest Man competition.

Ah man…Ah man…

So close. It was warm and normal spring, then suddenly a slap in the face. I was not ready for the harsh winds and cold temps. This isn’t helping Deepa’s argument to move to Hawaii. Might have to keep Zillow Hawaii area in my bookmarks.

At least I can get more gaming on without feeling bad of not taking advantage of the weather. Just finished Frycry 3. I think I logged 50 hours on that game. Great game. The story really supported the open environment. The upgrades and escalation of difficulty matched pretty well also. This might be a 5/5 the more I think about it. My next game is Xcom enemy within. Rex hooked me up for Christmas. I have a feeling this might be another 50 hour game.

We are playing Ghost Recon and I am surprised how good the multi player is. It’s a good mix of different scenarios and timed action sequences for a co-op. After this I might jump on Battlefield 4. I don’t like how EA forces you to use their game manager. Why would you leave Steam. Come on EA.

Almost made it through the stormAlmost made it through the storm

Almost..

Can’t really blame this on the snow, but I probably will anyway.

Oh well. Another project for the summer.

One more project would be planning for work. I forgot to take coffee filters to work. Had to go McGuyver on the coffee machine and some heavy duty paper towel.

Well this is going to be a close call?!?!?Well this is going to be a close call?!?!?

We needed to make room for something “smaller” so we let Mom borrow our twin bed. I didn’t realize the truck was this small.

Good thing I have plenty of bungie cords. Went to church 1st then headed to their house afterwards. I was happy to see everything was still there.

Well, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Are you ready? I am not. I think I am going to make all my own gifts and not buy anything. I am sticking it to the man. Macaroni cards, here I come.
