Price is Right

Went shooting with a couple friends this weekend. Got to shoot a fully auto .223, the G36C the military replacement for the AR-15. Also got to shoot a MP5, fully auto 9mm. Pretty cool. The percussion on the G36 was amazing for such a small round, I could not imagine shootng this in an enclosed combat situation. One nice thing about the G36 is its ambidextrous safety/semi-auto/auto selector. After shooting fully auto its not hard to see how a battle situation can become just crazy with several people blasting off hundreds of rounds in seconds. The other thing thats crazy is how I started aiming low and by the time I went through 30 rounds in a few seconds I was shooting 10 feet higher than when I started from the percussion 'walking" the barrel upward. After shooting fully auto the Glock 40 seemed so primitive. Thanks to Peter in the video for letting us waste so much ammo in so little time :) He is on the Utah County SWAT. Here a few pictures and some short video.

The state of Utah's answer to the growing traffic problems in the Lehi/Eagle Montain area, the MountainView Corridor. I wonder how many millions it cost us to have those maps made up. Well at least they are finally acknowledging there is a problem and something needs to be done about it. They have also moved up the addition of the car pool lane from the Alpine exit to Orem, University Parrkway to begin in June, originally set to begin this time 2006.

The start(8:05 AM) of my daily commute, the freeway(8:20 AM), and the end(8:32 AM) of my morning commute. Then more work(3:30 PM). With a typical daily total of 92.9 miles, good thing I have the Geo at 43 mpg. :)

Went Geocaching on Saturday out by my house. Started out to go the cache I placed a couple weeks ago, but then saw there was one couple miles away and headed to it and ended up coming out by Sunshine Canyon. I can't beleive I had never been up there its nice area and a bunch of abandoned mines. Kinda scarey how many there are. Found 5 caches and probly 10 abandoned mine shafts. Here are a few pics.
