Guns, Tanks, and Dirt Bikes...OH MY!

Hello everyone. Its time to hear what I did over the weekend. Its funny that i say weekend, because everything really happened in a 20 hour span.

During the week, a friend of mine,Shay, that i recently started hanging out with again,(we went our separate ways after high school, but moved back to the area around the same time) planned a "guys day" with him, his brother Warren, and myself. We decided to start early to fit in as much as possible. And boy did we...here is how our day went.

8:00 a.m.- I go pick up Warren and drive out to four corners where my family owns property. We meet Shay at my dad's shop and prepare to go shooting. First, however, we decided to ride on my dad's tank. It is an APC-114 (Armored Personel Carrier). It is a blast! It really is all that is manly in this world; a loud hunk of steel that can run over any thing at any time. If that doesnt get your testosterone pumping, then i dont know what will!

9:00 a.m.- After we were done riding the tank, we decided it was time to shoot. I brought out my S&W 40 and my Browning 9mm, Shay brought his Glock 9. We then began to search for bottles and load them in my jeep. After we found enough to satisfy us, we took them out into the desert and starting setting up our make-shift shooting range. Then we proceeded to shoot away. It was a good time, talking and telling stories. My aim was average, i was satisfied with it. Afterwards, we romped through the desert in my jeep and just shot the shit.

12:00 p.m.- Warren had informed us earlier that he had to work at noon, so when we noticed it was already noon and we were still shooting, we were surprised. He called to inform his work that he would be late, only to find out that he didnt have to work until 4:00 p.m. Naturally, we were stoked! Since we were all pretty much done shooting we decided to move on to our next activity, riding dirtbikes.

This was, in my opinion, the funnest part of the day. This was the first time in about eight years that i rode a dirtbike. I got in a pretty bad accident on a dirt bike and hadnt riden since. It took me alot to get back on, but i am sure glad i did! We decided we were a dirt bike gang. Our name is too vulgar to say in this blog but it incorperates the first letter of our names (D,S,W).

During this time, my buddy Sean from San Diego (a good friend of Frank and me) called me and told me he was going to be in town for a wedding reception. Small world! We decided to meet up at a later time that night.

3:30 p.m.- It was time to take Warren to work, so we put the dirt bikes away and headed out. After dropping Warren off, me and Shay decided to go to Domingo's and have a beer or two while waiting for Warren to get off work. At this time, Sean called me and told me he wanted to hang out for a little bit. He and his girlfriend met Shay and I at Domingo's and had some drinks with us. It was nice fun hanging out with new friends and old friends.

8:00 p.m.- The 12 hour mark came just as Warren picked us up from Domingo's. We were noticably buzzed and lookin for the next party. Shay's wife called and said she wanted to go to a bar in Silver Lakes, the community that Shay lives. I was totally down with this, so we all rolled out there. For the rest of the night, we partied at two different bars and had a great time.

4:00 a.m.- We closed the bar down and hung out for a while after hours. We finally went home and went to bed around 4. It was a great night, but that meant Sunday was recovery day....ooh getting old.

Well, thanks for stopping by! I hope I didnt ramble too much!
