I'm so sorry, Suzi. That's so hard. My friend who had cancer before and now has breast cancer, requiring a mastectomy, is undergoing her first round of chemo today. I hate cancer.

BOW was great. Everyone should go! There are versions all over the states.

Gun-envy here. And five years ago, I'd never have thought that would be me.

Right? I have the over-the-shoulder shot up in my office and as my wallpaper. It's so identity shattering for me. But it was unbelievably fun.

you might want to check rental places for used kayak sales, you can get some good deals that way.

Yup, def. I am also stalking craigslist like a crazy person. Which is not helpful because I don't actually have the money saved up yet. So I occasionally do find the perfect deal and then can't do squat about it. But I will! We have a little private lake here and I just can't wait to get out on it.

The paddling instructor that was our closest friend gives free lessons at the college in Phoenix. But I'm not in Phoenix! He says I could just come over and he'd teach me how to do the stuff in his pool. So I may need to do that at some point.

Suzi, I'm so sorry. Yeah, cancer can blow me.

I'm leaving the office in just over an hour to get some lab work done. Either my thyriod medicine isn't doing it's job or my anemia is worse than usual. Something is off.

After the blood draw, I think I'm going to head to the dojo and punch things for a while.

Fuck cancer gently with a rusty chainsaw.

I have my targets from my first shooting. I like the clustering.

So, anyone want to give me some Mac tips? I'm reading along, want to reply to something, so I highlight it with the mouse, but then how do I copy it with no right-click? Do I have to use the keyboard? Also, how can I get my fingers to learn that things are in different places, so I can stop fucking things up! Like, I believe control-backspace will backspace over a whole word, but what I'm actually hitting is function-delete, and that deletes things in front of the cursor. OY!

I do apple+c, but then I don't like to use the mouse at all.

Is this a laptop? If so, you can simulate the right-click by tapping two fingers (simultaneously) on the trackpad.

eta: Wait, you said 'mouse'. Duh.

You could always get a two or three button mouse - the extra button(s) work like they do in Windows.

As Daisy notes using the Butterfly key does a lot of the right click functions on a Mac.

Actually it's Control and the select bar that pulls up stuff like "Save As."

I have my targets from my first shooting. I like the clustering.

Yup, I've hung my target on my red wall. It looks awesome that way. The best grouping was with the Beretta. I'd say, all within an inch, just below the X circle.

The range master, on looking at my target afterward, says that if that grouping was so good, then the reason I was off on the other, heavier firearms, was because I was overcompensating for the extra recoil. Gripping too hard, and thus pointing down. (Those are the ones my instructor is covering on this photo, hee!) If we'd gotten the chance to go one more round, I'd have liked to work on my accuracy some.
