Homeward Bound!

I finally got the travel authorization I've been waiting for, I leave Cape Cod for Iowa this next Wednesday 
The Iowa job will last 170+ days and is only a bit over 2 hours from my front door so I'll be home every weekend as well as being able to use a bunch of leave time while I'm close
I should be able to give that Viridian laser a good workout for the review follow-up.
I've got a fairly large stash of ammo ready to burn up, 300 7.62x51 175 gr match, more M80 ball than I want to admit, 1,000 Mk 262,500 M193, 300 45ACP, and about 500 9mm. It is going to be a challenge not to overheat anything
I warned the wife to be ready to deliver my lunch and dinner to the range those first couple weekends......
I can almost smell the burnt powder already!

I've been careful to isolate myself from any local politics including never watching local news or listening to NPR. With the majority of locals here in Provincetown following vastly different social mores than me it has been easy to keep myself secluded in my apartment......freedom is close at hand!
I'll have posts for the Real Shooting thread soon

Glad you are finally near home JT, know you must miss your family and everything else...Cape Cod huh.
So me and my running buddy, who has a wife and 7 kids, ALL GIRLS would get together once a year for some working vacation time. Doc, was a Harvard MD, Mormon and the Surgeon General. Me, just a computer guy, but he also loved computers and once a year I headed to Boston for a 4 day show. We were both stationed at Ft Monroe Va and we would leave my house at 4am, drive to arrive Boston that eve.
We decided to side track and head out to Cape Cod as the weather was beautiful that late Aug day. We are in my Jeep Wrangler. No doors, no top, wind in your face having a great time. We are out on the Cape going thru P-town and notice all the people waving at us. We stop at a light and folks saying HI, welcome etc. FINALLY I notice something and turn to Doc and say: "have you noticed everyone here seems to be a man?" YEA!
We stop for gas and go in the store for a bottle of water. I mention to the guy about how friendly folks are and wondered where all the women were in town. The guy laughs and says he can see why everyone is waving at you guys in that Jeep. You do know our summer gay population is greater than those who live here...

Almost 12 pounds of empty brass created since I got home a week ago
and that isn't counting the 400 rounds of aluminium case pistol ammo I burned up!
It's good to be back in the free world again!
