RocketDock Review
Maybe I’m missing something but my quick launch toolbar does exactly what I need it to, sans the pretty animation, but I can access it with ease at any given time. Sorry RocketDock, maybe if it could be integrated within my windows taskbar then it may serve my purposes a little more.

More Cigar Talk
Another cigar I plan on picking up after my friend Chris in Tampa suggested it to me, is the CAO The Soprano. Another friend of mine, who’s cigar opinion I hold very high, did a great review for me on his 12seconds.
I don’t smoke very often, but I really do occasionally enjoy a cigar out on the back deck, especially as the evening air starts to cool down a little more. So, if you enjoy cigars and haven’t tried the above, check them out!

Cuz I wanna be a coyboy, baby!
Can you tell I went shooting at the range last night? I did, and as usual, I had a great time. I’m seriously considering trying a shot at a Practical Shooting matches, either through the IPSC or the USPSA. And on the gun note, still waiting for my CWP to arrive in the mail any day now.
Anyway, last night I got to try shooting a shotgun, which was the first time in quite a few years and now I remember why shotguns aren’t my favorite thing to shoot. First, I was wearing a tank top and the recoil caused the butt of the shotgun to pinch my shoulder skin and now I’ve got a strawberry. I call it my “amature scar”. But also, shooting a shotgun in an indoor range isn’t very much fun. With 3 birdshot blasts, the target is shredded and on the ground. I didn’t try the buckshot.
I’m still on the market looking for my second gun. I keep reverting back to semi-auto pistols because I guess there’s just a cool factor. The 1911 is so attractive and when I shot my friend’s, it was just awesome. But part of me really, really wants my mom’s Ruger .357 revolver. Last night, I saw another brand (and now I can’t remember the name) and they actually powder coated the metal on their .38 snub nosed revolver a pink. Now, I like pink and all, but not sure I’d really want my gun making such a fashion statement. The Springfield XD Sub Compact is also freakin’ incredible. But, its’ almost like my gun now so kind of makes me wonder, what’s the point?
Seriously, what’s a girl to do?
