Well, the ankle held up okay this past weekend. We got 7 new Crew and Adults through pistol class. We had one Crew not show, maybe we can get them involved next time. I’ll transcribe my journal notes soon (yeah, I know I’ve been saying that for a while…)

While its not scout related, the new news is I sprained my ankle yesterday. I did it hopping over the fence at my daughter’s day care center. I was fetching her soccer ball that got kicked into the woods, and I did not see the ground hog rut under the fence - so I of course landed right in it. God sending me another message that I’m not 18 any more I guess I go to the doctor’s this afternoon to make sure I only sprained it and didn’t do anything worse.

Of course, we have a Crew campout this weekend, so that will be interesting…

…and the fundraiser went okay. Actually, that’s a bit misleading. The two day event went very well. We met lots of cool friendly folks who loved to talk about their sport/hobby/pastime. Our Crew had a good time. The fundraising effort was a bit disappointing though. We did not bring in as much as we had thought we would, we’re short of breaking even. But if we can go back and go more of these, then we’ll be in good shape. One really cool thing that came out of it is FRGC is allowing us to pick up their spent brass to recycle. That will give us some reloading stock and the rest will get recycled for some extra cash.

Brass is very heavy by the way. The bag we collected everything in almost broke open in the bed of my truck. We’re talking about a milk crate full, so you can imagine the mess (and noise!) that could have made.

We are off to hold our first Crew fundraiser this weekend. The FRGC invited us to sell coffee and donut concessions the morning of Saturday and Sunday during one of their matches. Actually, its a match hosted by the Cast Bullet Association. Should be a fun day - the weather looks to be good, we get to see a match, and then we’ll spend some time at the pistol range. Need to work on breaking in my Glock - it seems to be shooting a bit low.

Well, we did day 2 of the trailer a week early. We were on such a roll (role?) that we decided to finish it up on Monday. There is still too much junk in there - I was hoping to have most of the gear off the floor and on the shelves. But its a lot better than it was, and I’m sure we’ll be able to continue to weed out stuff we don’t need or use. And then there are the white buildings…
