My birthday has been the best this year. I am in phoenix Arizona.. shooting in my 2nd big match in Cowboy Shooting.. its called the Winter Range Championship match. We shoot a total of 12 stages..Each stage set in early 1900 western era and diffrent shooting scenarios each time. We shoot 4 stages each day.. and each stage consists of shooting 10 targets with a rifle.. 10 targets with 2 pistols.. and 4 targets with shotgun. All of the guns we use are single action guns.. no automatics.. ;) ...= 96-100 targets a day.
First day my 4 stages consisted of 2 clean ( no misses) stages and I missed only one on one stage and 2 on another stage. Time was not too bad. ( I was okay with my score) Could have done better as the ones I missed were dumb mistakes. MY mistakes.. :P
Today I was struggling with my blood sugar a bit and also.. we didn't start shooting until 2 this afternoon...and 85 degree sunny warm weather, and I was sweating.. .. I was kinda tired.. and uhmmm lets see... I wonder what other excuse I can come up with for my crappy shooting.. LOL ;D LOL
The first stage I missed only 1.. time wasn't too bad 41 seconds I think..
(Marshal shoots a stage anywhere between 28-33.. ) * Don't compare me with his time please.. :D*
Anyway.. my 2nd stage was clean..
3rd stage was an absolute disaster. ...
I was on my 9th shot in rifle..and thought I had shot 10 rifle shells and in doing so I ejected my live 10th round out so had to fumble around in my belt for another 38 rifle round.. couldn't get the damned thing out of my cartridge belt.. ( lost seconds) finally got it.. shoved it in my gun and finished up the rifle section.. then I had to be prompted to put my rifle down vertically this time..As I forgot and laid it on the table..
(more lost seconds)
Run over to the shotgun window...then I shot my shotgun knockdown targets...which one didn't go down..( even more lost seconds) so had to grab another shell and hit it again. ( this time the damned thing went down)
By then I was really battle rattled ( NOT what you are supposed to be) and I tried to make up my time on my pistols and I should never EVER do this.. I shot really really fast.. but I missed 4.. FOUR!!! Totally unheard of to miss 4 with pistols ..I mean.. I wasn't squeesing and pulling the trigger.. I was grabbing and jerking the trigger. .It was an ugly sight and a more ugly time on the clock..
So I drank some water.. ate some carbos..settled my ass down and shot my 4th stage clean.. 8)
Tomorrow we shoot at 11 so it will be much better as it will not be after lunch etc.. ((Wonder what excuses I will use if I shoot bad... hahaha)
Have spent a bunch of Marshal's money ;D on a couple new awesome ball gowns.. a new hat.. skirts.. pettycoats.. another corset.. 2 skirts - blouse ensembles....and 2 bustled skirts ( all in 1800 style of course.. ) he bought me a new custom holster for my CC pistol .. so I think I fared pretty well on my birthday..
I HAVE got him a few new shirts and vest..( nice of me huh.... ::) ) :)
We are having a blast.. Ate at a few REAL and authentic Mexican restaurants and I have put all the weight back on that it took me a month to get off.. :'(.. but the salsa and the guacamole and the chips and the tortillas made fresh filled with beef and chicken and shrimp and tons and tons of dripping cheese...yummmmy~~
Then the other places we have eaten at... the Mesquite Flame Ribeye steaks.. the french frys.. the Parmesan potatoes.. the chicken fry loaded with gravy and skin on mashed potatoes.. ((NOW you know why I have gained weight?)
Filming has been very good and productive also.. We have a lot of good footage and pictures so that was successful.
We will be home this next week.. and it will be back to eating stupid spinach leaves ..no bread.. no chips.. no potatoes...
sighhhhhhhhh
But until then............................. I have 3 more days of "eating".. LOL
Thank you all so much for the tons and tons of Birthday wishes on here and on my Facebook and all the texts I got..
I feel sooooo special.. :-*
Sorry I am late. Happy Birthday Teresa.
Happy Birthday to the Annie Oakley who inspires me and keeps me sane...Hope your day is as FABULOUS as YOU are! ;D ;D
Once again.. Thanks to everyone.. I am STILL getting Birthday wishes..
it is awesome to have so many friends.. ( or at least ones who pretend to be.. ) hahaha
I shot all my 4 stages CLEAN today!! I even beat Marshal on the last one.. Shot my last stage of 26 targets in 34 seconds... and he shot in 37.. ;D
It was a lot of fun..and will be heading home in a few hours so best get to bed..
It's okay, Warph, she's probably left town by now. You can come out of hiding. Hopefully the very few misses were going in your direction.
Larryj
There is lesson to be learned here. If you are going to make Teresa mad do it after lunch.
WEREN'T, Warph, I meant WEREN'T headed in your direction! :-[

;D ;D ;D
Happy Birthday? Wow..... you are less than three years away from becoming a full-fludge GEEZER! You need to start thinking about what you are going to do when you hit that magical age of SIXTY. So.... put down your cannon and lets think about this. Hmmmmm.... thinking..... thinking.... aha...here's a thought:
We geezers ( yes... even if you're a woman, you're a geezer) want to keep our minds active.... right? But just adding up our golf scores or planning vacations or shooting the crap out of targets just doesn't cut it all the time. "Beginners Bridge" is fine, but some of us want some real meat to chew on (if our dentures can handle it, metaphorically speaking). I'm talking about attending undergraduate classes at the local college. Especially the ones within easy Dial-A-Ride distance from those senior communities that advertised "close to college." Right! How does that sound, soon to be a geezer-person?
Hell... we're not concerned with matriculation....in fact, we geezers still don't know what that means. We don't want an advanced degree or a phd. We just want to sit in on regular college courses and take notes in an old-fashioned spiral notebook, or computer notebook if the grandkid will lend it to us.
So what college subjects are popular with we geezers??:
Religion -- particularly classes that have to do with God. Remember... we're getting closer to him or her now so we'd like to have all the facts possible. You know, a Pearly Gates cram course.
History -- What the heck was that Peloponnesian war about anyway? Hey, where is Peloponnesia? Is a bus tour available? Or how about learning details about some of the little wars we only memorized the dates of like the French-Indian war. Who were the good guys? The French or the Indians? Who cares?
Literature -- We now have the time to reflect on the language, style, and metaphors of the great poets. Why do good fences build good neighbors anyway? If I tried to build a fence, the first thing my neighbor would do is send his lawyer out with a Platt map. Maybe the French 17th century poets would be easier. Was this poetry inspired by fighting with the Indians? Again... who cares?
Science -- Remember when we went to school an atom had a nucleus, electron and proton. Period. Apparently, over time, the atom has grown. So we want to know what all that other stuff is and how it got here. And it might be nice to know how it's going to help us live longer and healthier... that is, if Iran doesn't pull some shit against us. Some colleges, however, report intimidation of students and teachers because some senior citizens who audit classes believe they know more than the professors. Well, we do! There are some subjects we know a thing or two about like.... we're geezers now and we can say shit anytime we want.
American History -- Vietnam combat. Been there, done that. Vietnam protests . Been there, done that also. And we geezers can provide insight into little known historical events.... like sitting in a line waiting for gas or paying 22% interest. And we know world history too, because we've been on tour buses with local guides who have provided the minutest detail about every rock the bus passes. Hell... we even have the pictures to prove it.
Psychology -- They especially don't like us auditing child psych classes. We've raised our children and spoiled our grandchildren. We could be guest speakers except we spend too much time in class laughing at what the professor says.
The most intimidated professors are the ones who love to spew their opinions as facts. Geezers have bought and sold enough used cars to know BS when we hear it, so we tend to stop the professor in mid-sentence and say something like "Poppycock or "Listen you whippersnapper....." Some professors just can't handle the truth.
Other professors, of course, are quite happy to have students who are willing to sign up for morning classes, sit in the front rows, listen intently, contribute insightfully, and stay awake during the entire class. Of course, as a geezer, we don't have to do that.
We also like the Adopt-A-Senior program some of the universities have. It's the pairing of an auditing geezer with an undergraduate student. If you're a single geezer it's a great way to meet studs and babes... and their single mothers and fathers.... or widowed grandmothers and grandfathers.
One drawback to senior citizen auditing is attendance, particularly if the class meets three times a week. You know, we still enjoy our golf and bridge dates. And, as they say, all school and no play makes for a dull geezer. (Was that said by some 17th century French poet?).
I think geezer auditing will continue because the schools themselves like having us ol' geezers around. They think we have short memories and perhaps the last thing we'll remember is that college that offered a great course, so why not leave them all our money? From the geezer side, donating to the schools may not be such a bad idea. It could help us pass the Pearly Gates entrance exam.
So think about this as one way to spend your golden geezer years. And if you want some more ideas, we could get geezers Slappy or Tebbi or Larry J to come up with some great ideas. Just remember, Teresa.... the clock is ticking!
