Having Friday off for July 4th is pretty awesome, except for the fact that I keep thinking it’s Friday on Thursday and Sunday on Friday. When I wake in the morning during this long weekend, I spend a few minutes just trying to figure out what day it is.

For a few months, I cut back on the bandwidth to save a little coin. Unfortunately,  it might have been too much. On a gaming night, streaming Netflix, doing homework, gaming, and voip was just a little too much.

Luckily there was a sale on 75 down and 25 up so I jumped on it. Everything is so much smoother now. I never thought that 15 would not be enough. I guess my memories of 28kbps is throwing things off. 20 years later from those days, I am using 75mbps which is almost 3000 faster.

I guess we are using that much more data these days.

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.
