Surprises…

I couldn’t have been more surprised when Garry and Vaughn walked into the Sears’ living room with a Remington rifle. I was absolutely blown away when I removed the Rifle from its protective sock. The be specific, the rifle is a Reminton 700 BDL chambered in 30-06. It has a beautiful walnut stock and the Sears men were nice enough to include a Leupold VX I 3-9×40mm Scope. I feel it was too generous, but I love it nonetheless. Here is the best picture I could find…

I was amazed to find out that Karrisa had actually tried to find out what type of rifle I wanted, but I didn’t help her out much. There are a few things that I’ve come to discover she just really doesn’t care about; one of those being guns and the other being motorcycles. I should have known she wouldn’t be talking to me about guns for no reason.

Today, in an effort to stay in shape, I decided to head out on the new bike to break her in. I planned a trip that would be between 15-20 miles, depending on how I felt. The rid started out great, the sun was out and the temperature was just about perfect. As I continued away from the city into Russell Township, I had a slight lapse in concentration and rode right over a shattered bottle of Bud Light. Road tires don’t handle glass very well and it wasn’t 100 feet before my ride was out of air. So, being without a cell phone, I picked up the bike and began my walk back to school.

Luckily, a nice older gentleman was on his way to a funeral and offered to give me a ride. He only took me back to Richmond Rd., but it was more help than I expected. Not to mention he was driving a gorgeous new BMW 760. It was pretty nice on the inside too.
