I know I'm going to catch hell for this, but out of everything on that table I'd most like to shoot that PMR30. Been wanting one of those for a while.


Let us know what happens with all that firepower Johnny.

Turns out the color didn't bother me much... I won 4 of 6

I went out riding again this morning... took a bunch of pics but only posting this one of another truck at the bottom. I saw two more down there today.

Here's some targets from today.
The first is my first shots of the day with a .357 revolver at 15 yards.
Then another target with a bunch of handguns: .40, .45, 9mm, and .380
Green silhouette target is an AK47 at 200 yards, no scope.
Then the target with 2 shots in it (I fired 3) is an AR15 at 200 yards with a scope and bipod.
The last target is 2 shots from multiple handguns... trying to figure out which one I liked the best.
I felt pretty good about my accuracy... especially with the AK47.
Then a shot of the KSG tactical shotgun... I want one of those!
And, shooting the AK.
Also shot 3 WWII rifles, M1 Grand, K98 Mauser, and a Molson Nagot.

I stopped in the painted desert to watch the sunset.
A raven stopped to watch me.

"The Raven is the Native American bearer of magic, and a harbinger of messages from the cosmos. Messages that are beyond space and time are nestled in the midnight wings of the Raven and come to only those within the tribe who are worthy of the knowledge.

The Raven is also called upon in Native ritual for healing purposes. Specifically, the Raven is thought to provide long-distance healing."

KC's Paint Shop & Restoration passed me in the painted desert on their way to SEMA.
I had no idea when I took the picture... just that 2 old trucks were passing me by.
Someone on the Chicagoland Petrolheads and Car Spotters Facebook group realized it.
I don't have cable so haven't seen the show.

Spent all day yesterday at the Grand Canyon... it is epic.
Spent all day today in Sedona... it is spectacular.
I of course took way too many photos of both... I'll post some up soon.

My friend and future roommate met me and is going to ride the rest of the way to California with me. It's our last night in Flagstaff.
Heading to Phoenix tomorrow to meet a couple of her friends for her birthday.

Yes Sir, I am sitting in my office/bedroom (lol) right now working on a webstore... going to start selling t-shirts and other stuff.
I have been working non-stop since I got here.

Although, yesterday I went for a bike ride, found an outdoor falafel place and then went to a local park for a while.

I'll try and get some pics up tonight.

Here's the late 80's SAS
I think I need to make the design a bit smaller.

I'd recommend fixing the tires before having it printed.

Goodyear says they can be run either direction.
In the illustration, the driver side is on correct and the passenger is backwards.

Here's how they "should" be run.

Too small, first size was perfect.

I was just worrying that people who don't know would think one was on wrong if it was correct... so you are both saying I should flip the passenger to make it correct even though visually odd?

Beautiful pics, love to watch the sunset there, thanks!

Flipped looks better I think...maybe not...have you tried it both ways?

Agreed, that's one of my favorite places.
