Long weekend.
We had a match this weekend...in Ohio. And we drove. We left on Thursday morning at 6am and drove allllll day to Akron, Ohio, about 12 hours. We got in at 7 or 8 and passed out at the hotel when we got there. We shot on Friday against Akron, they have a really nice smallbore range; electric targets so you don't have to pull the targets back yourself. :) I shot terribly, but no biggie. The air range was in a classroom, and I really didn't like the setup. But the match was really close, we were neck-in-neck during all the scoring. We were looking for extra points and we ended up being tied with them until Wolf, the good guy that he is, found a point on one of his targets that they shouldn't have given him and turned it in putting Akron ahead by one point. So they won and they also won in air by 15 points. So it was a close match, but still good. After that, we packed up and drove to Penn State. We stayed at the Nittany Budget Motel. The registration office was also "Brewsky's Bottle Shop" a liquor store. Kind of a sketchy place. lol. Our shooting didn't start until 11ish Saturday at Penn State, so we got to sleep in a little and got to go out to breakfast too. All of us shot horribly, but we still beat Penn State and VMI (Virginia Military Institute). We packed up and drive the 8 ours back to loverly VT. We got in at about 2 this morning. So it was along weekend, but it's over now. And we have no practice till Wednesday. Three of our teammates were sick up until we left on Thursday. Balaban, Dickinson, and Comfort all had a stomach bug and Dickinson and Balaban, esp Balaban were throwing up. I felt really bad, Balaban looked greenish pale when we left on Thursday. They were eating bread and crackers and water for a while on the trip. Def did not look like fun. I am really hoping that I don't get it.
Not much happening other than that. I am working on negotiating a price with my neighbor about his car and hopefully we can agree on something. Then I need to find someone who wants to drive it out to VT before May so I can drive home. :) Anyone wanna come out east? ;)
Time for Amy to go to bed now. Night night.

hehe. sketchy. :P
Nittany Budget Motel? That's hilarious. You know, one day you're going to be sitting in some Jiffy Lube waiting for that car you might own someday to have its oil changed, and the Nittany Budget Motel is going to show up on Cops. that'd be hilarious.
