Last spring I shifted gears.
Some of you know, I started this site, and purchased several sailboats, as a way to do an outreach to kids, that get into trouble, because they don't have enough time consuming activities to keep them out of trouble.
While I still think that would have been a good project to throw support into, I got side-swiped by our politicians in Washington (both side of the isle) being so stupid, to a point of treason, I just had to act, and get involved in politics, and political watch dog groups. Sailing got put on hold.
I was a member of NRA already, some 20 plus years. I traded my back seat, do nothing membership card, for a Endowment Life card. I support all areas of NRA that I can. I signed up for classes to teach firearms training to youth and adults. I am an instructor for Concealed Carry in my state. I am an instructor for Refuse to be a Victim, and so is my wife. I hold 7 firearms certificates for teaching, and did this in about as many months.
Just got back from a class, held out of state, Refuse to be a Victim. great information, that shows the general public how to try to be as safe as possible, in a sometimes violent world.
My class taking will slow down now, however, my class teaching is just getting started.
I had my CM32 Ketch out twice all summer. It may be, that I will sell her in the spring. Time will tell.
Sure had a blast the few hours I did get in this year.
My lake will freeze up soon. Had first frost warnings out last night. Might pull her tomorrow.
