Lol this is my first time dealing with this craziness that is pregnant hormones.  the first go round I spent all but the first 2 months of it in Afghanistan.  It worked out well for me minus I didn't get to see my little princess until she was 3 months and some change old. 

I'm thinking the average woman I might could handle  her preggers hormones.  however my Italian wife is a bit different.  she is fully out of freaking control.  it's serious bidness out here in my neck of the woods lol.  I told her today it might be better if I just went back to Afghanistan for the next 6 months.  she didn't appreciate that idea. 

Now that being said it was a 2 day event when I explained it.  If I can roll out saturday morning early enough she is still aslepp who knows what possibilities I can make happen. 

What time are you leaving Mrs Rayne?  I need come up's for my new rifle any who.

Headin down tomorrow night. Will be campin. Bringin small pot of potato soup and a pot of chili.  Mudcat I will get with you tomorrow on our eta.

What do we need in the way of backers? I have targets and paper.

Heeter and Rayne and Spitfire can you coordinate transport for Kate and Techres? Looks like we have plenty of ammo for kate. Josh is down a cat and needs wheels.

Tater and S2S are in.  Ain't heard from JSW yet but it wouldn't shock me if he showed up in a plume of black smoke.

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

I will have wood and a fire pit. May make some Jambalia or red beans and rice if I get a chance tomorrow though not too likely.

I am not sure on backers. But I have many new pieces of cardboard that are 3' by 10' or so. Should work out for backers, in my mind anyway.

THe mini van is the original urban assault vehicle, lots of room for guns and ammo. If it gets real bad just rip a hole in the roof install agunner and you are ready anything Bedford or Bloomington can throw your way.

Grunt I left the country after I found out my wifey was pregnant too. Came back when he was 6 months old. There is a lot that can be said for that. Just sayin.

What are the chances we'll have the range for Sunday as well? I had planned to spend my entire weekend at Atterbury; I'd be happy to spend it at Red Brush if given the chance.

Anyone want to carpool down Friday with plans to stay until they throw us out? I'm near Bloomington and can drive or chip in for fuel.

I am doubtful that we will have the range on Sunday. It is a greatest need kind of thing. I wouldn't feel right even asking for just a few of us to take it away from the membership. If we had 25 or so shooters I would feel comfortable asking and could probably secure it for most of the day anyway. We should be able to get plenty of AQTs in on Saturday the way it looks.

Sunday at the range is a sub gun match the annual Jerry White match which is a pretty big deal. We will need to clear out of the shelter house by mid-morning. If you happen to have a sub gun and want to shoot the match I know they would be glad to have you.
There is a F Class shoot Sunday too (we think). So if anyone has a precision rifle and wants to shoot a match you are able to do that as well. I prefer taking my plain ole rifle and shooting it off of a sling rather than a bi-pod and giving the boys a run for their money with skill against equipment.

Of those staying until Sunday, would anyone be interested in a fighting handgun class? If so be sure to bring your handgun with a few hundred rounds of ammo, a holster and spare magazines. Let me know Saturday.

Mudcat, thank you for securing Red Brush for us on Saturday.  And thank you, everyone, for being so flexible.  Rimshot and I are gonna drive two hours north to instruct in Michigan instead of driving five hours south to shoot with you.  We're sad to miss the festivities, and it was not an easy choice, but we're sure you'll have fun without us.  Hope to see ya'll soon.

This chili is a big pot - but I'm not sure it could feed everyone till they are full - can anyone else bring food for Saturday night?

I won't be able to shoot the entire day (pregnant ladies can get things accomplished without hysterics - it just takes a little planning!) so I plan on taking a nap tomorrow afternoon and then heat up the soups - so it would be ready for those even if they are planning on shipping out Saturday night to go home.  Beats eating in a loud restaurant!

Add it to the string if you can bring some grub!

Everbody show up at 8 est tomorrow.  Jump out of the truck with your pack in one hand and your rifle in the other.  No I am not kidding. We will start or day with sun up, squad up, and go.   We brief on safety and move to the line.  All instruction (which is greatly paired down) will be on the line.  A free come up recording chat will be available.  If you want a data book we have them.  Ten bucks.
