Dear blog,

I’m so sorry I haven’t been spending much time with you lately. Its just been so weird around here though. Not busy, not bored, not fun, just being without much of a purpose other than to be in the place I’m supposed to be at that time. There have been some fun times and we will cover that…and my lack of knitting lately.

Working backwards:

Last night my usual yoga instructor wasn’t at class and her style of teaching was a lot different. Just not what I was expecting from my usual yoga class which was a major put-off. I might skip on Thursday. I’m just not comfortable with her style.

Sunday silhouette match of the month. Got there late and stayed late. Brought my benchrest gear to try it out on silhouette and shot pretty bad. A score of 36 out of 40 is actually extremely bad for benchrest silhouette. The four that I missed I actually watched the bullets drop into the ground several feet in front of the targets. Otherwise it would have been a 40/40 and probably about 5 tiebreakers.

After the shoot I went to the wood shop to do some more work on my record storage cabinet. It almost has a complete first coat of stain. I might be able to completely finish it by the end of the week. I also put a coat of finish on my silhouette rifle carrier. One more coat, some “feet” for the bottom and some felt to line the openings where my gun sits and it’s done.

Wednesday nights I’ve been going to Metropolis to shoot in their benchrest matches. Its been raining and windy both times I’ve been and I’ve shot terrible but I know where I stand on many aspects of my shooting. My scores so far are: 3130-8x (out of a possible 7500-75x) and 2770-5x.

Tuesday nights is Open Mic night at Jeremiah’s Pub. A friend of mine is DJ’ing between the performers while they setup and whatnot. Last week there was a big group improv acoustic guitar/piano/DJ/freestyle rap/harmonica jam session which for little ol’ Paducah was amazing that no one got hurt mostly and that secondly it was freaking awesome.

I haven’t knitted in weeks. Yeah, I’ve picked up needles and yarn on several occasions…while cleaning the house, to put them away. Its quite sad really. I also found out that I knit weird. I do all of my knit stitches “knit through the back loop” which is why I could knit bullet proof fabric from fluff. That seems to put an extra half twist in each stitch pulling everything a little bit tighter.

So yeah, I’ve been places and done things.
