Whacha doing buddy? The Phoenix metro area is warming up just for you! Are you outside grooving on the "dry heat"? Kinda like being in an oven isn't it? The next time someone tells you, "yeah but it isn't as bad as the humidity" you can tell them of the joy of having the skin seared off your palms touching ANYTHING which has been kissed by the sun. The thrill of having your actual brain cells getting sunburn through your scalp and skull! Stay inside and be cool buddy. Drop a line to MTI or Peter (pjcol67, I think) for places to hide.

'sup, Mike. At the Valley Ho in Scottsdale. Left Hartford at 6 EDT and got in at noon Mountain Standard Time I think? Fortunately my iPhone is smarter than I and kept track. Actually had meetings from 1 until 5. I just got back from a quick stroll up Main St. It's weird when it's f'n hot but you never really sweat! What was it, 112• today?

Meeting up with the group for dinner at 7, can't remember the name though of the restaurant, though. My brother's BIL lives here but I don't know if I'll get a chance to catch up with him (ironically his wife and kids are visiting my brother & SIL back in CT).

I might have some free time tomorrow night. Going to tour a friend's facilities and then going for a little group shooting session at the range first.

Deja vu, Mike. Bound for the Valley Ho in Scottsdale again for a couple days for some executive/sales training. Currently sitting in Detroit waiting for my overdue connection. They keep trying to educate me!

Lovely weather for you awaits.

They will keep trying to tell you that throwing product at people is not an effective sales ploy, but just keep telling them thats why you dip everything in epoxy first, better chance of a lasting sale.

Did you go to the Scottsdale Gun Club?
As much as I dislike Snotsdale, that's the best open to the public range in the state.

81 isn't too shabby. It was 31 when I left home this morning. Much better than in the summer last time!

Duly noted!

Went to the Ben Avery Center in Phoenix since we went shooting after touring my friend's operation a few miles away.

The local MBCA club is thinking about doing a shooting event at Ben Avery, some folks want to blast clay and others want to do range shooting.

We had a blast, pun intended. We went clay pigeon hunting. We had men and women, first timers through seasoned pros.

We were hoping for some rematches this time but the schedule for most of us was just too tight.
