In my off time, I coach a local high school trap shooting team. Last spring, we had the annual fun shoot. My son shoots on the team, and we decided to have a friendly competition. One of the parents was taking pictures of everything, and here I am in action. I am only posting this because of...

Just built this one for my daughter. 16" .300 AAC Blackout. She wanted her own rifle for hunting deer with me, but she wanted it to be "special". She picked out the color to add to it.

During the warmer months, I find getting out on my sailboat is the best coping mechanism I have at my disposal. During the colder months...if any hunting season is open, I get out and do that. It gets me outdoors and when I am out there, my mind is free to absorb all that nature has to offer...

Friday the 13th ...and a Full moon? That's like Independence Day for all the crazies.

And............ you think a profession in EMS is stress free?

Responded to a domestic situation...husband beat up the wife and left. Seems they had been drinking heavily. Long story short, she was hitting on me while I was assessing her...she even tried to kiss me in the ambulance. My medic was doing his best to keep from laughing his *** off.
