    Amateur Night

    Be careful if you are going to be out and about tonight, all the amateur drunks will be out.

    I'm heading into work about 4:30am. Wonder how many I'll meet on the way? It's sobering how many still drive impaired in this day and age!

    As opposed to us professionals, who know to stay home.
    Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

    Spent the night watching re-runs of M*A*S*H*.

    I must be a light weight. I was in bed at 8:30 or 9:00. No one keeps track around here!

    Had all intentions of hitting the sack at our normal time but either most of my neighbors reload or they just have a good supply. Some serious 2nd amendment representation around here. Also surprised at the number with a class 3 license. All quiet by 1am.

    Same here JSM a lot of shot guns a few rifles and handguns and one old timer burnt up a couple 1/4 sticks from the sound if it. For about 4-5 mins it sounded like the line at Camp Perry during a timed fire stage but not quite a rattle battle stage LOL

    We spent New Years Eve with a Friend who has a company that does Wedding and Party support. He had all his employees there with a buffett and drinks. Scheduled to have "Uber Response" for those wanting/needing it.

    And for the fun and games - There were many Kids and they had 3 "Bouncy Houses" set up in the warehouse for their play amusement along with a bunch of Kid Games. Adults had Adult beverages available and of course being Montana we had Beer Pong, Corn Hole bag throwing games, Bow & Arrow shooting at flying 8" disks (think Skeet), Axe Throwing at facsimiles of "Let's Go Brandon's" face or a suitable Round Black Bulls eye Target - Throwers Choice (Did not see a single Round Target used).

    The Wife and I stayed home. She went to bed about 9:30 and I read a book until about 10:30. Heard a few gunshots and a few fireworks but not a lot. We slept in this morning and are watching the Razorbacks play Penn State on the tube.

    Didn't hear any shooting last night but a neighbor was making a little noise this morning.

    Went to bed around 10, and a little chilly at -13 and windy, to go anywhere! Got up at 4 AM to go to a gun auction 3 hours away, so I'm glad I wasn't hung over. Quit that nonsense years ago!

    The wife and I do not drink Alcoholic beverages We spent the night shielding our dog and cats from the noise of the fireworks. The noise actually ended before Midnight. I was up until 4AM watching Forensic Files on my Roku TV.

    We stay off the roads on potentially big drinking days and have done that for many decades. The wife goes to be 10ish, I stay up later but didn't partake of any of the new years foolishness with twisted people hosting and in my home.
    Let's go Brandon!

    We shot off one bottle rocket from the porch at around 11:00 then went to bed. We have not been out on New Year's in the last 35-40 years.

    Hated working it when my group was scheduled at the fire house. Nothing but bad stuff occurs with drunks after mid-nite.
