4x4s and shotguns

well i have deffinately had an eventful day. got up and ran (as is my daily schedule) and then work on the family farm. after that, jared and i decided we wanted to improve our marksmanship shills in the area of the magnificent shotgun. but wait - oh no! i was out of ammo. eh, no problemo. wally world was the answer to the problem. cept there weren't not salesperson to hand me the box of shells that i wanted which was placed behind the counter. after contemplating jumping the counter for a few minutes and realizing the cameras...yeah. jared saw one of the wonderful ww worker persons and called em over. after making our perchase (which by the way a case of shells costs less than puttin half a tank of gas in my truck), we headed out. made a quick stop at the newberry residence to deliver an old promise, which was met with much glee by both the young lads who recieved new airsoft guns and ammo, but also the father of the aforementioned lads. in fact he seemed to possibly be more excited than his sons. and yes, he was the first one to shoot one of the sons. it was quite funny. and he wants to play airsoft with us. hehehe. that was funny. anyway, we left after much discourse about propper shooting for the youngsters. then we came home and ate kfc. good stuff. especially before going out to shoot the pretty birdies. i must confess, i was quite impressed with how well jared did with the shotgun. for having shot as little as he clames to have, he did quite well. betwixt the twain of us, we shot something like 20 birds. i shot more, but he shot the biggest one. twas quite an enjoyable afternoon.
then, this evening, allie and i had planned to go to her house and enjoy a movie (i believe "saw" was on the playlist). but then her pa wasn't around when she got off work, so we couldn't do that. but then we found out that he was at a place in the woods. with 4x4s. and we could go there instead. so i was like, "well i have to check my agenda...LETS GO!!!!" i called my wonderful parents and they graciously allowed me to change my plans for the evening. so we headed out there and then let the tires meet the turf. good stuff. someone once told me that riding 4x4s was all balls and no brains. i don't quite agree with that statement, but i can see how one could come to such a conclusion. its deffinately a rush. and let it be known here and now - i have the awesomest girlfriend! not only did she trust me enough to ride with me, she didn't get mad at me when i intentionaly hit the big mud puddles and got her all muddy, and she didn't freak out at my sporadicly erratic driving. wow. wow. wow. it was so much fun. i could do that all day long.

and i didn't even hurt myself or anything or anybody else. yay for me!!!!
