Busy life right now.My Wonderfull Wife is due any day with our third and final child. (Girl number 3) We are in the midst of a huge renovation to the homestead, (have to add a second bathroom and a third bedroom) living with the inlaws while the work is getting done. So...
Did/Do you ever get the urge to just go out and shoot and do destructive man - boy things??

I shoot quite regularly, so it is rarely on an urge or impluse. Actually, if I'm in a bad mod, I'll usually skip a session. I've gone to matches after a bad day at work, done poorly, and been in a worse mood.

Back before my knees went, if I was stressed, I'd run. I remember one night in college during exams, I went out for a couple miles, and came back about ten miles later.

Unfortunately I don't get to out but one or two times a year. My family is everything to me and I love spending time with my girls. Just every once in a while I get overwhelmed with the color pink. Then...I get just a little twitchy. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I just needed to vent a little thanks for the support guys.

Why do I hear Judge Judy snarling " Mr Matt! You did enough shooting and man things with your wife 3 times allready. So quit your vetching and get back to that new addition." Then she turns to Burt who nods his head with a smile. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Prize winning Idea! My brother stopped at "South of the Border" about 2 years ago and purchased a huge brick of Black Cat fire crackers for me! Boy was I pumped! Then I had an "aw crap!" moment when I realized that being an official City Official it would be really stupid to get caught setting them off. Still sitting on top of my dresser. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> (Big sigh) mayby someday.

Congrats! I have 2 daughters & our third turned out to be twin girls (the twins are 3 now). Just finished painting the twins' bedroom in pepto pink. More Barbies than a Mattel factory (mostly hand-me-downs from family) and they already have more shoes than I do.

On the other hand, they are all very tolerant of my needs to go into hiding once in a while. They'll also go out and launch model rockets with me; smell of gunpowder without the firearms.
