I'm not entirely sure what ammo I was shooting. Something like that though. Lol. My shoulder's fine, surprisingly. No bruising yet!

High brass on the left an low brass on the right. More brass = more gun powder = more kick....

My first time shooting a 12 was when I was very small. I was handed a double loaded with high brass an told to fire both barrels at the same time. Knocked me down. Not cool.

In contrast, someone 70 pounds can shoot a double, one barrel at a time all day long when loaded with low brass.

Getting ready to teach the girls to shoot now. (8 an 10 Year old) I fully expect both to be able to work their way up to low brass 12 by the first day.

Just ran across these old photos online. I though they were long sense lost.











The one at night with me holding a kid, that one is priceless an I didnt think i would ever see it again... Sometimes I just love the memory of the internet.

I like the one in the fire coat. Your old avatar. You'll always be that guy, no mater what you grow on your face.

Thanks. I myself think I look better now than I ever did back in my 20s. This past month or so I have shaved, got new teeth an have started getting back in shape. My hair is now pretty gray an I know I will never be in the shape I was back then but I still think I look better now. I do miss being that guy doing that job though.

Well most days I do anyway. Today is not one of those days. Today is a day I wish I could forget ever doing that job an the memories it gave me. Today I woke up to the words "Child ran over by school bus, possible 10-109-D" coming across my fire radio. A code I wish I never knew the meaning of an did not have memories kid call I have ran that go with it.

Quote: Hmmmm.... I'm thinking high brass then. Not 100% positive though - I didn't load the gun.

But it looks to be about the size of the rounds my friend put in.

I often wonder how EMT, doctors first call responders can do their job and keep doing it. I suppose you have to compartmentalize it.. but still. Sometimes those doors creak open and things flood out.
I hope the day gets better for you. Think about how many lives you have helped and how many people you have educated so that awful things may have been averted.

Y'all remember that goat whose picture I posted the other day? Well. She kidded last night. With a whopping twin doelings. Lol.
