Kirsten & Bryan's Farewell Party

We decided to through a little farewell party for ourselves just before leaving Bass Pro. All our close friends and work colleagues turned up and we proceeded to get rather 'beached'. I managed to burn our sliders so bad they made great hockey pucks, Kirsten somehow made a whole bottle of Baileys disappear, we all became experts at playing the didgeridoo, and Brad somehow managed to end up with just his union suit on!?! It was a hell of a great time and we really appreciated every ones good wishes. Lets just say everyone was a little green at work the next day...

Graham is definately showing signs of being "Beached" here.

Calgary Hitman Hockey Game

Our friend Leanne was kind enough to score Kirsten & I some free tickets to a Calgary Hitman Ice Hockey match. It was such a fast paced game, these boys can skate! We had a great time, thanks alot Leanne.

Day at the range with Kirsten

Graham Stinson took Kirsten & I to the Rosebud Range again for some plinking. It was a little different this time with 2 feet of snow on the ground and cold. It wasn't too bad though especially with once we cranked the fire in the clubhouse. We all had a great time shooting a variety of Graham's rifles, Kirsten particularly loved shooting his Russian SKS. It was the first time I pushed my new Browning X-Bolt on the long range silhouettes out to 550 yards and it worked a charm.
