A perfect weekend

After a stressfull week, there´s nothing better than relaxing and hanging around with friends at the weekend. This weekend was pretty much perfect.

On friday I had the obligatory poker league game. Our furnishing was extended by a fridge and a microwave this time.















The big surprise was, that I actually ended first place. That´s pretty unusual for me. To commemorate this, I took a photo of my winning hand:















On Saturday, a friend gave a party to celebrate his birthday. It was interesting and funny. What bugs me, though, is that we seem to adopt the behaviour of our parents. After finishing dinner, the men separated from the women. We told old army stories and let the women have their talk about whatever women talk about when they are among themselves. I have never noticed this to happen before. A sign of old age probably? I´ll have to keep an eye on it on further occasions.


On Sunday morning we went to the shooting range. It´s perfect for clearing your thoughts and just live for the moment. Besides, I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning....


All in all, a perfect weekend.

  1. Ah, you just gotta love perfection in any form.

    The poker room is turning out quite nice. Do you guys have music installed yet??

    Excellent to see you going through the trouble of uploading pics! they really help out.

    What sort of weapons do you shoot in the range? here in Mexico you can only practise shotguns and non-automatic firearms under .38.

    well, i guess i'll be seeing you around.
    takecare...

  2. Hello someone,

    as of now we have a radio there, but considering the process of improvement we might get a hi-fi sometime later.

    As standard practice we shoot sport pistols with a .22 caliber. We just started a few months ago. Wen we´ll get better at this, we can additionally shoot anything from 7,65 mm to .45 cal. Only pistols though, because the shooting club we´re in is specialized on this. In other clubs you can shoot non-automatic rifles too, but no shotguns.

  3. Excellent,
    i bet your poker room will one day be very noteworthy XD

    curious that they dont allow shotguns, they are a very sporty weapon. i can only guess that the 45cal packs quite a punch
    peace!

  4. The definition of sport here is to shoot for precision. You have to have something to compare. Not exactly easy when you use shotgun ammo.

  5. i agree if your shooting at still targets, here we use shotguns like in the movies,
    Pull!
    them aim at the disk with precision
