Last weekend, we went shooting again with hubby and my stepson Alex. I was so excited because that time I already printed out some targets I can shoot on. I was able to shoot using the Glock 9mm, AK47 and the AK22. AK47 was so loud it got me scared though. Haha! Anyways, here are two videos that they took.
Oh by the way, I ended up shooting all the soil, like tilling the soil for gardening. Lol!
I made this Strawberry Cake Roll today after I was craving for some dessert right after lunch. This is a budget-friendly and easy to make recipe.
Ingredients: 3 medium eggs 2/3 cup (85g) caster sugar (I used finely granulated sugar) 2 drops vanilla extract (optional) 2/3 cup (85g) self-rising flour, well-sifted 1/3 cup strawberry jam and additional sugar for rolling
1.Grease a standard size baking tray with butter.Place a non-stick baking parchment paper on it and press on all the four sides.
2. Preheat the oven to 350F.
3. Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla until very light and fluffy.
4. Mix the flour slowly with the spoon.
5. Bake it for 12-15 mins until golden brown and fluffy and springy to touch.
6. Sprinkle powdered sugar on another parchment paper and put the hot cake on it. 7. Spread jam on it when it is hot and roll with the help of paper. 8. Allow it to cool for 1/2 an hour. 9.Sprinkle icing sugar/sugar, cut into slices and serve.
We attended a baby shower last Saturday at Potterville. On the way there, I took some pictures but since the car is running too fast I was only able to get few good shots. I met new faces and was introduce to hubby's relatives, mother side. After the party, we visited Dad (hubby's dad) at the hospital. He was happy to see us. We spend an hour or two then we headed to see the State Capitol. Hubby said he was never been there for quite some time now. I kept on asking him if we are not lost. It was getting late already so the plan to park and walk the city did not push through. He promise to bring me there again. I hope he won't forget.
Yay! I made it! I passed the Permit Test in one take. It consisted of 30 items multiple choice and 10 items road signs. I am only allowed to make more than 10 mistakes, I made 8. After checking the paper, the lady asked me to read the items where I made the mistakes. Most of it were the first choices that made me change my mind and chose the other answer. I guess I have to rely more on my instincts. Hehe!
Anyway, In return I made a pointers to help others who are also first time drivers like me. Good luck! I will come back with my experience as soon after I hopefully pass the ROAD TEST...
I feel anxious. I will be taking the Learner's Permit Test on Friday so I can be behind the steering wheel. The permit is good for 6 months then I have to take the Actual Driving Test. I have not driven any vehicle in my life, except of course the bicycle. I am talking about motorized vehicles. I know I won't ever learn if I don't overcome my fears. Oh well wish me luck, I hope I don't run in to dairy cows.
I am married to a retired US Army (no wonder he loves guns!). It was my second week here and Larry wanted me to go with him and his friend to test some guns to see if which ones needed fixing. I was feeling a bit nervous and excited at the same time. Well, guess what? It wasn't hard at all. At first he taught me about proper safety precautions and to follow them always. I've learned to keep these in mind:
1. All guns are always loaded. ALWAYS assume a firearm is loaded and treat it so, even if the mag is empty and the chamber has been checked.
2.NEVER point a firearm in an unsafe direction, and do not point it at anything you are not intending to fire at when you are intending to fire at it.Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. Keep your gun pointed in a safe direction at all times: on the range, at home, loading, or unloading.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until your sights are on the target (and you are ready to shoot).
4. Be sure of your target. Know what it is, what is in line with it and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you haven't positively identified.
