I was joking, but on second thought, if you can kick ass at any of those with a buzz on, you’d have to be really good at it compared to a guy that is barely competent sober. Are you saying that does not sound logical to you?

Just coming home from Kauai.
A satisfying week off.

Sorry, should have caught that.

Sounding logical and actually being logical are two different things.

There are well-documented physiological changes which occur when we put alcohol on board. Generally, we (the person drinking) are the least qualified person to determine if we are sober enough to drive, etc.

Personally, I won't get on a motorcycle after one beer/drink and I won't drive a car after two.

I put a radio in a car for a buddy before Christmas and he brought me a case of corona a few days later. I still have at least 6 left in the fridge. That's with me and the wife drinking them, that's how rarely I drink. I just rarely want a beer, not opposed to drinking either; I just rarely do. So I fall into the category of 1 and done. I'm always tethered to my phone for work issues and sometimes that requires making an appearance if it hits the fan so that's part of it (we run 24/7/365). I also don't drive in the very rare occasion I have more than 1. But I see no issue in me having 1 and then target practicing or reloading.

Perfect day off starts with getting home alive and uninjured. I am starting to show my boys how to do carpentry. I love making sawdust. I have also found my inner child again with some basic rifle skills using a pellet rifle. My boys are learning how to shoot and I am relaxing and enjoying time with them.

Work phone doesn't ring and no one bothers me. I'm simple.

Happened this past Saturday. Hooked up the boat and drove down to the coast with the family. We launched about 9am and headed out to a barrier island close by. Dropped my wife and daughter off on the sound side of the island so they could hang out and my son and I went to the ocean side of the island and started trolling for Spanish Mackerel. We got into them right away. After a couple of hours we both had out limit of nice sized mackerel. Cleaned them right there on the boat, threw them into the cooler and headed back in and hung out for the rest of the day on the back side of the island. Couldn't ask for a better day.

Today! I hit the range @ 1:30 with a colleague, and try out my battlebelt/chest rig setup, and run a few 1 - 2 - 3 drills. My colleague is also unfamiliar with a battlebelt and chest rig, so I get to do a little teachin', too. 75 for a high today, and low humidity - perfect way to spend a Monday!
