Good morning. 50 and sunny to start the day. Low 80s possible this afternoon.
I woke up to the US military practicing at the desert range called Iran. Godspeed to our military women and men. Stand strong Israel, we have a common goal.
Y’all have a great day.

Good Morning!
Today was our monthly "Action Pistol" where we are "allowed" to draw from holsters and shoot steel at the "special use" range. 4th Saturday of the month from about 9am-noon. After pistols, some people leave but some will stay and break out their PCCs and the targets get moved further away. From about 30' back to 50'. Range rules normally prohibit drawing from holsters and shooting steel. Someone inexperienced drawing from a holster could have a Negligent Discharge and shooting steel improperly can lead to ricochets, both of which are unsafe.
Unfortunately, my car started misfiring as soon as I pulled out of the driveway so I turned around and pulled back in. You should NOT drive your car if the engine light is flashing because of a misfire--this can melt and clog your catalytic converters!
I hooked up my VCDS scan tool which told me what cylinder it was (#4). Codes P0300 and P0304. Pulled the cover/air cleaner off and switched the coil from #4 to #3, rechecked codes and the misfire moved along with it. (P0303). I thought of using the wife's car to go to the range but made an executive decision and instead used it to drive the 20min to my shop and pickup some used coils I had there to bring home and install. The first coil I tried was also bad but the second worked so now I'm back on the road. A set of new coilpacks is about $130 and I got about 4yrs out of the last set and this is the second to go bad. It is only a matter of time before the other two also fail--they do NOT last forever...
This was the first time in 2yrs I've missed Action Pistol... About the same 15-20 of us show up and it is more of a social event than anything. It is not super-competitive although some stages are timed. I will be at the range tomorrow where I am an RSO for Public Day, usually on the pistol range. A couple sample stages of AP are shown below.

It looks like enough people finally begged Donald Trump to go to war, and now we are.
It was stupid of us not to stop the mullahs 50 years ago when they were plotting to take over.
But on brighter news our government has decided that the Scouting America (the United States Boy Scouts) will not get another dime until they conform to the presidents DEI policy.
This caused the Boy Scouts to file bankruptcy. Their membership is only 1/10 of what it was in the old days and then the government cut off the funds for even that.
Consequently they have dropped the gay activism merit badge, and maybe kinda required that everybody be Biological boys.

Good morning. 41 and clouds this morning at 8 am. Low to mid 50s this afternoon. All in all a nice week in store for us, or so it seems, lol.
Gas went up 50 cents overnight. Hopefully that won’t last too long.
Stay tuned and have a great day.

DIE Hanoi Jane...just f-ing DIE.
I propose a national day of celebration when that communist whore kicks the bucket.
OK this is just a thought but maybe we should drop Hanoi Jane into Mogadishu during Ramadan and see if she enjoys all the public attention.
One of the people I follow online has been predicting that Cuba will be overtaken by the United States after the Iran debacle is reasonably concluded.
But after the last crap that I saw out of Britain, where their airbase was attacked by the Iranians and they still refused to send up a single plane, or boat. . . .
Meanwhile Keir Starmer is calling for the people of London and the parliament to be in sympathy with the Muslim world. . .
I have to start asking all my UK friends on the forums I frequent if they would enjoy watching Donald Trump take out Keir Starmer and King George and most of Parliament?
They say that one in five people in London is a Muslim now.
This is my feeling:
In retaliation for the war of 1812 we finally confront the British monarchy.
Go tell them all to abdicate quickly before we give them the Venezuela/Iraq treatment.
Send the wogs packing of to pakistan.
Sung to the tune of “Shuffle off to Buffalo”.
