WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
My buddy relocated to Lisbon, Portugal a year ago. Got to meet up with him and his family today in Cascais, a seaside town about 30 minutes from Lisbon. Our families had the best time hanging out at a park with wild roosters, visiting the Santa Marta lighthouse, swimming in the sea/river and chilling on what might be the smallest beach. Sad our holiday ends tomorrow, but it’s been a wonderful trip.

…@jerkules wow does that look nice! My ex-wife visited Portugal and she said she loved it.
...my partner in crime and I abusing alcohol on Sunday Pubday. ::)

@jerkules Amazing pics! We would love to take the kids someday if/when we get across the pond.
@vaquero357 You guys look like you’re up to no good…and having a “champagne of beers” too! Looks like a good time.

Casings a flyin—— nice!

@Dmart i hear the surfing’s good there. Didn’t make it to Guincho as might be too windy/rough for the kids. Maybe next time!
@vaquero357 nothing better than pub day with a buddy. Hope you enjoyed it.
@Jestocost , dunno what most of that means, but I interpret it generally that you can kill me.

Fun times …
Don't know much about guns. This one doesn't look like made for hunting, rather for killing people.
Can't really see the fun. -

Jap, it’s a great spot even for beginner. But it took me days to ride a wave for maybe 5 seconds haha.

My partner Clara and our dog Chicken are driving through France to get to her family's country house in Auvergne. In Paris for my partner's birthday we had great food at La Septime. The day before we ate at The Yard, and the day after at Clamato. All recommended. Bread and coffee (and cinnamon rolls) from Ten Belles everyday. Did some fun rides in Paris and today a really great ride on newly surfaced roads around Cognac today. This weekend we head South.

Can't really see the fun.All guns are tools to make living things into dead ones. That this one is short-barreled and is made from polymer and aluminum instead of wood and steel makes it slightly more suited to one version of that task than another, but plenty of people hunt or just shoot paper with the same kind of rifle (minus the auto sear, obviously, but you can't see that from the outside).
…that said, "fun times" was definitely meant a little sarcastically. I enjoy the fine art of rifle marksmanship as much as any other hick, but I do this for a living because there's no way in hell I'm going to college without the GI Bill, not because I'm itching to use that thing on anybody.
@Nkwkfld looks delicious. Always wanted to go to France. Impressive as all hell that you did all that distance on a bike, too.

We are not used to guns privately possessed over here. That's why I always get an uncomfortable feeling when I see someone handling a gun. I'm sure you're doing it with a lot of responsibility @Jestocost

From one hick to another, shooting guns is absolutely fun IMO @Jestocost and you have a more noble reason for doing so than many: getting yourself an education by serving your country. Thank you for that.
That said, even as a gun owner, I would prefer a world without guns, even though they can help even asymmetric situations (like a big strong person attempting to kill a much smaller and less powerful person). And I envy @endo 's living in a society relatively free from guns. But the world has shown us, especially lately, that they can still be a necessary evil (and not even an evil if we're talking about putting food on your family's table).
I'll shut up about it now.
Running ranges this week. Lots of barricade drills (pictured), some CQB practice, a little bit of night fighting coming up this evening. Fun times all around.
