My virginity to firearms, that is. I finally got to fire one, a .270 rifle of some sort, last weekend. We fired 115 grain and then a few 150 grains. I felt as if the 150's were "smoother," but I'm a newbie, what do I know? Anyway, I think I may be hooked
Then, a day later, my first niece was born! She's the cutest little thing you ever saw, as she has a habit of only opening her left eye, and as such looks just like a lil' pirate
She's smart as anything, as far as I can tell, as she's already rolling that one eye at her retarded Uncle 'P (that would be me
)
She's not "technically" my niece, as she's my best friend's kid, but I figure with my bro passed away and my sister completely against motherhood, it's as close as I'll ever get to being an uncle - and I'll quite enthusiastically take it!
I'll post pictures when and if her parents allow it.
Anyway, a toast to Mackenzie! Long, happy life, you lil' pirate, you!
