This was the first day of the Fire & Ice match, about 8 miles west of EOT. A guy from the repair shop came out and gave me a ride to the match just as promised.
Great day, starting a bit cool at 47° but quickly warming up to 70 ish. I had a great posse with several New England friends and several new folks. A great mix.
I shot a good match, my normal times and clean. I know there is another Frontiersman (my category using cap n ball pistols) so there is some competition. Maybe more than one.
Carlene came and picked me up in our truck!!! And I was very pleased with the bill. Despite working several hours (a day!) more than expected they stuck to the estimate. And a nice discount for Carlene’s veteran status. They came out and got her too. That’s 3 rides and would have come to get me after the match had it been necessary.
We came back to camp, Carlene took Skye for a long walk while I went over to vendor row to see Scarlet and Tazz and help if needed. Tazz had his tent nearly set up but still found a bit to do. In another half hour the New Englanders will go out to a Mexican restaurant. And I still had a bit of time for basic gun cleaning.
PS: the restaurant was very good. Carlene and I both had Chiles Rellenos with chicken.
Sounds like you found a great shop to work with. Hard to find sometimes. Sounds like the match is off to a good start for you. Good Luck to you and all of the Nee England shooters. (Everyone else too 😁)
