Full line, great improvement over the weekend, superb instructor staff, and typical Texas late summer weather.  Pix following, and anyone else with pix, please post.
"It is an uphill struggle, but I wish that we could distinguish more carefully between freedom and liberty. These conditions are not the same, though they are certainly related. Freedom is the absence of restraint - a physical circumstance. Liberty, on the other hand, is a political situation denoting the lawful capability of the citizen to defend himself and his near and dear without interference from the state. Note that the Declaration of Independence forcibly and particularly establishes the blessings of liberty upon ourselves and our posterity. I like to carry a pocket copy of the Declaration, plus the Constitution, in my travels. It is a good thing to have in hand when discussions arise."
-- Col. Jeff Cooper, Commentary

I want to reiterate my thanks to all of the instructors who volunteered their time and knowledge. My dad and I had a great time at our first Project Appleseed event. We're fixing to head out know to practice some of the information we were taught this last weekend.

We've each got five points to make up. Gonna get it in, and get it done! Thanks again!

Thinking about things afterwards, I feel like we went in as a class of white and blue belts, and left a class of brown and purple belts. Congrats again to the two gentlemen who earned their patch!

I love this analogy.

I didn't have the opportunity to attend this Waco event, but I hope to see you there in the future.

Always glad when my babbling can be of use to someone else.

Not sure how to PM or mention other users in this forum; @Ghostring if you peep this, I misunderstood the tool that my dad made for the action screw for the 10/22. He put a piece of aluminum in the lathe, drilled a hole in the center that is slightly smaller than the hex key, chopped off the hex key and tapered it a bit where it goes into the aluminum to start it, then used a Gran Marteau to drive her home.

Also not sure how to edit posts. I swear I used to be good at this stuff when I was a lad.

We're about an hour and a half from CCC in College Station/Navasota. So hopefully we'll be able to attend another one soon.
