Ugly weekend to start out with:
I was pulled over for 2 miles per hour over the limit... Well - my bad, I was driving a Toyota Supra. I mean how evil is that!? No one NEEDS a car capable of going over 140 MPH! No one NEEDS a car that can go over 75MPH, Right?

Well, things got a little better:
Was traveling at a brisk triple digit pace (Hey - if I got pulled over for 2+ who cares now!) when I went past The Village People who were standing around just off the road... Not the Normal sight, especially in the Utah Desert. But my hind sight recognized the fact everyone had GUNS. Huh? Then I saw a big cardboard pistol point up the access road to where these guys were. Okay - guns and chaps... something is going on.
The Supra is one of the BEST sports cars on earth. It not only moves like a striped ape - It can stop quicker than Rosie passing the dessert bar! In no time I was wheeled around and coming up the little road to the gathering.
Cowboys. Real freaking Cowboys. With Golf Bags? It could only have been one thing:
SASS Shooting match.
I was not able to stay very long - but I watched one shooting station where the course of fire started out singing in the bath tub. ? HUH? What ever - if they want to sing - who am I to tell them other wise, right? Besides, .44-40 is a most effect caliber against a guy in a cotton shirt and jeans. So when an old codger started wailing "I love swimmin' with bow-legged women, and swim between there knees..." Well, I just chuckled, but other wise kept my mouth shut.
Every one there was most polite and friendly even. I had a couple offers to try my hand at the shoot and even borrow the revolvers and shot guns and rifles of my choice. Mighty generouse folks there. But I learned a long time ago to NOT OUT SHOOT some one with there own guns. This could be bad. Besides. I can't sing worth a lick and and no one there likes RAGE AGAINT THE MACHINE to begin with. So I stayed behind the line and observed. I picked up a couple interesting SA ARMY techniques that I will have to try out the next time I get my hands on a SAA revolver.

Then I had to leave as my time was running out... I had a wedding to get to.
The wedding food was awesome, plentiful, and free... And after some time... I was finished... Spent the rest of the time watching THE MATRIX on a Big Screen DVD... Sweet Ending.
