I am in the terminal, waiting for my flight back to VA from Okinawa. Having kicked some good optics instruction to about 500 deploying Marines, I plan to sleep the sleep of the just and reacquire the ability to drive on the right (in both the literal and the 'correct' sense of the word) side of the road.

It will STILL be Saturday when I land, so...you, there! DON'T EAT THAT SUSHI!!

You'll know what I mean when it happens.

I'm in the terminal at CLT waiting for my flight back home as well.

I'm going to hang out with the family this weekend. I'm getting lucky and will have three full days at home this weekend so I'm going to chill out with the family and appreciate the time I have because of the brave men and women that made it all possible.

My plans are nothing spectacular. I am cleaning around the house at the moment and doing laundry. Tonight is my graduation party since I earned my BA. I am catching up with a friend who found me on facebook that I have not talked to since the mid-90s. I am sure yard work will be in the cards as well. Have a safe weekend everybody!

For the first time in a long while I have a 3 day weekend. Both of my jobs are closed on Monday and the motorcycle shop is closed today.

Im planning on going to the range with my wife today and going to the ACES hockey game tonight. Sunday we are going to H20asis and indoor water park with my three little girls. Which should be alot of fun. Monday, well back to the range alone.

Everyone have a safe weekend! GO ACES !!!

I was thinking about some range time but I went Thursday night and next weekend is a camp & shoot.

We got a good dent in the yardwork yesterday and it's raining today so I am catching up on what's going on in the M4carbine world today. :cool:

In spite of the jet lag, I woke up @ 0630 this morning, so I decided to use the opportunity to practice what I preach to my students by slapping my new upper on and taking it to the range to get the irons dialed in and an initial 33m BZO on my optic.

I picked up the upper about 4 weeks ago, but I haven't been able to find the time to warm it up. Shameful. Now I need to find 100m with which to confirm it.

Next you will be telling us there also will be harsh language, and consumption of adult beverages.

Oh, the humanity!

Glad you had a safe trip back. :D
