Gunner, I love Germany. The weather is nice, the food is GREAT and the people are friendly (ok, the women are VERY friendly). Just like we have here in Texas. You are always welcome to come visit any time you want (you bring the beer!), but I will pass on exchanging places. Harlan and I may be complaining about the weather, but its only because we both have to get out in the heat and mow the grass around the oil wells and tennis courts in the back yard. Got to love Texas...
Seriously, the heat is a real killer here. Makes me want to go join an indoor range, but you can not shoot carbines in the in door ranges here. The outdoor ranges around here do not open up until 9 am. So by the time you get signed in, truck unloaded and set up on a spot, its already starting to get hot.
It would probably be a great business model to open an outdoor range at 6 am here during the summer months. Thinking about that, it would allow people to go shoot early then head to work (kinda like an early morning workout).
Sorry about the babbling... Doctor says its withdrawal symptoms due my condition... Seems he wants to diagnosis me as being addicted to smell of burning gunpowder....
