2nd annual birthday shooting

Happy 2012 !!

i have been away in ontario again, to celebrate the holidays with my family and friends .... ( ontario friends.)

sooo....yeah, i had my 50th birthday while i was away.

it was fun..... not as scary as i imagined.   ;)

my son took me shooting again.

thats our target.  we each had one.

thats the red flag in the sun.  i think its a cool pic.

8 x 57mm mauser in the k98k rifle

thats the ammunition used for this rifle

thats my son

thats me

 on the stock

( ? ....i have no idea if thats what its called.... )

... ah, he says its called the barrel

and receiver,

the little symbol of the eagle clutching the swastika,

is a Nazi firing proof.

it means that the rifle was tested and approved.

heres a close up

this one is 9mm luger in the P38

i really liked shooting this one  hehe

theres our targets

mine.... i didnt even hit the paper with the rifle at 50 yards.

and not with the hand gun at 25 yards

what i did hit was at 10 yards...... it was SO cold out again, its the best i could do.  i barely wounded him. 

my son did much better !!

Im 50 now.  I may as well know how to shoot.

heres a commemorative video

i love it

hehe thats me (kidding)

all for now

have an amazing and awesome 2012  !!

are you ready boots?

i had a birthday over the holidays.  yes, it was before christmas and im just getting to it now...

baby pooch got me a t-shirt from the gorillaz concert, which i was very sad to miss

and some new pooch slippers.... its chilly where i live!!

my son, and his sweetie pooch jilly bean, took me target shooting.

he taught us gun safety and how to be safe on the range.  he was thorough and watched us carefully.

remember kids, this was target shooting.....   just for FUN

we used AR-15 semi-automatic type rifle in 5.56 x 45mm

and a 1911 handgun in .45 ACP cartridge

and a few pics of us shooting.  it was SO cold that day.  it was painful to be without gloves just for those few moments to shoot

thats my excuse for not hitting my target even once.  son says the zombies would have got me for sure

got these shoes in charlottetown last week .... on sale

 and..... ahhh, the boots.  this was my gift from pooch lucy and her bf  J

the main reason for all that walking around toronto.  they are THE most awesome boots

speaking of boots...... listen to this one.  check out the link below 
omg its the best !

these boots are made for walkin'

all for now

new years lobster

 HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

 pooch special k found this website with instructions for what to do if you are a woman and ringing in the new year alone

 ( i assumed by choice )

 for women only

 so i go in to charlottetown and buy a new years lobster for my dinner

i got him already cooked but fresh.

im just not ready for the whole "live steaming" thing yet

i bought myself one red rose and i already had a bottle of cheap bubbly.   good enough to ring in the new year and say good bye to a shitty one

these are the necessary tools to crack the dinner, but keep in mind that i have never done this before.

when i first arrived on the island i went to 2 lobster suppers but they are conveniently already cut

ready to dig in

to preserve the lobsters dignity, i did not photograph the carnage that ensued, but suffice to say he got the best of me

to preserve MY dignity, i vowed to conquer this in the morning with less bubbly in my blood.... which i did, with renewed vigour

and retained my newly acquired title of "islander"

so k and i decided to skype.  

the wierd part is that its a photo of my computer screen looking at her christmas tree and television with my skype box in the upper right corner

you can only see both of our boobs but im taking the pics

i dont have any channels so we watched her tv

the above pic shows the labrador and atlantic time zone ringing in the new year

you can see our choices for which channel to watch.  we saw some of new york city, 

some of niagara falls and some atlantic canada

next we rang in the new year in her time zone an hour later

and this was the most important part

"As some nationalities have practiced over the years, make sure you have these 3 items in your possession when the clock strikes midnight: 1) money in your pocket so you will have a year full of prosperity; 2) food on your table so you will have a bountiful year and 3) a red rose in your hand so you will have a year full of love!"
