It looks like tentatively Sunday at 1PM at Millbury.
Does this fit with folks?
Should we just meet there, or meet someplace closer (my house? Burrillville middle school?) and carpool from there?

Liz and I are probably going to catch a matinee of Serenity this weekend.
Any of you hooligans want to come with / meet us there?
We have no firm plans, right now; I'm just throwing it out to gauge interest.

My email hosting company suffered a main hard disk crash last night. They are still restoring from backup. Until the restoration is done, email is down. So if anyone is sending me mail, I'm not ignoring you, I just don't have email right now.

And got the 4th ed Shadowrun book as a PDF. Got tired of waiting. My print book is still on order, but now I have the rules to read and plan and such. I printed them out and am about to start throwing them into a binder. For the curious:
Impressions to come as I read the rules.

So, I've been hitting the range a lot lately. See, when you're shooting, you can't really think about shit. You focus on a few very important things – specific motions, your breathing, the front sight of your pistol. It looks like I'll be in a shooting competition in Nov. It's like amateurs league stuff – $15 entry + I need 200 rounds of ammo (I have like 1000 sitting in my office, and that's just .45). So, that should be fun.
Anyway, I've been hitting the range a lot to deal with the stress of work. Basically, I can't talk about most of it (client confidentiality and all that) but we're up against a deadline and the customer is testing what we submitted to them and they feed us back bugs and it's all high stress, need to get shit done but have to be careful what I say to people so as to not piss anyone off because everyone is as on-edge as I am. You know how it goes. Of course, there's more than I'm saying here because this is a public post and I don't want folks to be bored, but you get the idea.
So, anyway, I've been moody and depressed a lot, so I go shoot to clear my head (and I'm getting a lot better at it).
Oh, and the 15 round magazine for my .45 looks completely badass (okay, Liz says it looks stupid, and I admit it looks a little ghetto-tastic) hanging out the bottom of the pistol, but it doesn't feed rounds. Like, at all. I think I'll have to Dremel it.
And I just made brownies.
I'm still waiting for the new edition of Shadowrun. I'm annoyed that it hasn't shipped yet.
This weekend, we're headed up to Liz's parents' house. It's her dad's birthday, so we're going out to dinner or something to celebrate. However, this weekend is also the Syracuse gun show, and since we never get any gun shows in RI (damned liberals), it looks like Liz's Dad and I are going to go. (Go to the gun show? Twist my arm…). Of course, I can't buy anything (at least not without having it shipped to a dealer here in RI, yadda yadda.. Though Long guns may be different, not sure), so it will keep me from being poor and all that. Of course, I can fondle all I want.
Anyway, brownies should be cooled off enough now. Night folks.
