Leaving tomorrow

Eager to get there. This year I've rented a car so I'm more mobile and walking to the range with all my stuff isn't such a burden. Could be especially useful if this proves to be a "wet Bisley" as some have feared.

Packing is such a damn hassle. Some of the guys leave gear there year 'round, assuming that they will make selection. I left some wellies and a good bottle of Scotch in my locker last year so I'll be happy to get to those items this year.

Tonight is cleaning the gun room, bedroom, and loading movies into my iPad.

I got a killer rate ($980 CAD) roundtrip on WestJet but it comes with no amenities (one has to pay for food and in-flight entertainment). Fortunately I have a 128Gb Ipad mini on which to store movies.

The biggest hassle with packing is the ridiculous size and weight limitations. I fear that I'll have to pay overweight or over dimension charges but at this point I will not choose to take anything further out of my bags. I would rather pay the charges.

This was supposed to be a relaxation period before leaving but it hasn't proved to be with all the stuff I have to get done. Fortunately, I have a week before the serious shooting begins to get adjusted.
