Took a (rather long) trip up to Tahoe National Forest yesterday with Sarge's friend Bridge. We did some shooting for a while... really think I would rather get a carbine first, instead of a handgun, if I had the $. Too bad I live in California.

I wouldn't mind having a ranch in Lodi or in the Sacramento area. Beats living in the Bay Area.
