OT- Oh what a perfect day...went to the range, too

No levers involved here fellas, so click that back button now if you don't want to read it.

It was a gorgeous day here in Florida. Just enough sunshine and overcast to make it perfect. So I decided to make the 25mi trip to the shooting range on my scooter. And when I say scooter, I mean an actual scooter.

I've taken this drive on my motorcycle many times but it always seemed like I was going the speed limit to keep up with cars in front of me, or going faster to avoid getting hit from behind; not really enjoying the ride or the scenery.

Well, a couple of years ago when my wife decided she'd like something of her own to ride I decided to sell my Vulcan classic and got her an Aprilia Mojito Custom 150 for Valentines Day. I liked that thing so much, that we decided to get another for me.

Today, while riding it, I just decided to cruise along at a comfortable 40mph. Maybe 3 cars came up behind me and I just waved them around. The scenery was beautiful. The pastures and trees were all green. It was definitely a picture perfect ride and very relaxing.

Well, I eventually made it to the range with my .45 and a couple of 22s (Ruger P90 / Sp101 22lr/ MKII) which all fit perfectly under the seat.

It was the first time at the range with the P90 and SP101 and the accuracy was surprising out of both. The MKII has always been more accurate than me and I love it and the other two have definitely made it into the top 10 of my favorites now.

All in all, I think everyone should just take the time out and enjoy the scenery every now and again. Oh yeah, and go to the range, too.

Hear, hear. I wholeheartedly agree.

The wife and I took a few days off away from the Beast in OK last week. We rented a car and went to check up on my acreage in the southeast part of the state. Enjoyed the fall colors, the quiet of the forest surrounding my place, the daydreaming of the day we build ourcabin there, strolling through the cemetary in Antlers and basically just kicking around at a leisurely pace.

Glad you had a great day on the scoot and at the range. Life is to short to rush through it.

Rained over here in the middle of the state. The wind kept the new rocket on the ground as well. I wish it would cool down some. We're looking at 88-90 all this week.

Shooting in the middle of the week sounds good to me though.

Rihmfire,

Depends on the what the wife has planned for the Holdays.

If up in Alabama (as usual) then I'll probably be hunting there. When we get back to Fl there should still be a week or two left for the FL season, so more than likely I'll be heading up Ocala way a couple of weekends.
