Shooting M-1's

On Thursday our family friend and neighbour, Mr. Lewis took me to the Logan shooting range to participate in a shoot they were doing. We all used the M-1 garand, a very common rifle used by American GI's in World War Two, probably better know as the main weapon used in the television series Band Of Brothers, produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

There were a bunch of firing positions, but since it was my first time, I didn't have to do them all though I did do the last one.

In total I shot around 50 rounds-and the scars on my shoulder prove it!

Super Sunday

Yesterday was Super Sunday, but since the super bowl was such a depressing event, I will refrain from stating the facts of the game.

Earlier in the day we had to clear our road so that my mom could see it to drive in and out. First we started out with shovels, but my dad and I got our ATV started up, and since it has a blade to push away the snow we started to use that. It worked very well. While my dad was pushing the snow, me and my brothers played snow ball fight.

As I mentioned above I will not talk about the depressing event that was our super bowl, however, I will say that we had chilly cheese fries, pop-corn, nachos and pizza.

After the super bowl my dad had to call a friend who had to call a friend to pull out my mom, who got stuck in the snow.

Super Bowl preperations

Super Bowl XLIV is coming up on Sunday, and well, I don't think I could be more exited. This will be my fifth super bowl, my first was the Stealers/Seahawks game. Stealers won. This super bowl my favorite team, the Indianapolis Colts, will battle my second favorite team, the New Orleans Saints. I'll be rooting for the Colts. They've been my favorite since they beat the Bears in the Super Bowl a couple years back. My dad is going to pick up a bunch of super bowl food.

GO COLTS!
