Up in the Air

I have a newly revived obsession.

Sporting Clays.

I can't figure out if I want to spend $$$$ on a new Beretta, Browing, Benelli, or Remington.

Not that I need to spend any amount of $ right now, but when lust hits, it often hits hard.

My dear old Browning BPS pump just won't cut it when it comes to the Sporting Clays field anymore (at least that's what I tell myself).

So, will it be a 391 Technys,













a Benelli SuperSport












a Browning Gold










or a Remington 105CTi II






I really just can't make up my mind.

Which is a very good thing since I can neither find the time nor the money to go shoot too much right now.

I knew better

Really, I did.

I know, I made my first vehicle road-worthy at the youthful age of fifteen.

I built my second vehicle into a sub-12 second 1/4 mile drag racer before I hit twenty.

So, WHY? you may ask did I know better?

Because I have barely touched a wrench or a socket in the last five years.

Yep, I'm out of practice.

OK, so I've replaced the turbo on my truck. And done a few other piddly things to it.

I've installed a few things here & there, but the sway bar really should've been easy tonight.

It wasn't.

Not even close.

Damnit!

Looks like someone shipped me the wrong part.

Of course, you would think I might check that before tearing into the box like a 3-yr old @ Christmas.

Nope.

Not me.

Never.

Figures.

I wonder

I get to start doing some studio work for the office. Product photography for a new & upcoming business thingamagummy I'm not supposed to talk about.

I didnt' get the new MacBook Pro with the auxiliary 28" Apple monitor. The guy setting this whole thing up did.

That's OK, cause I would be lost in Mac-world for a good couple of months.

We are talking about new gear, however. Someone said something about "enough in the budget for a 5d Mark II and a couple of lenses". That, I can get into.

I'm gonna try to talk them into one of the new Pixma Pro9500 Mark II as well. Pictured below, from Canon's website.
