So a while back I rented one of dad's houses to a man named Mark Deros and his family. It turns out he is an inventor and invents things for the military like tripods and other things I think he said that he has 19 inventions. Anyway he's a really nice guy and Daylon really likes him. A couple weeks ago Mark let Daylon borrow his .50 caliber rifle. Its huge and sooo heavy and I guess it can shoot a target up to 2 miles or something and the bullet can travel up to 5 miles!! I might have that wrong but I think that's what he said...(Daylon's at the cabin with his old man this weekend or I would get some verification) anyway big gun you get the point. So we got to pick it up and Daylon's eyes just light up like its Christmas morning or something and he couldn't stop smiling all night. A couple days later, I'm sure it killed him to wait that long, he and his friend Logan went out to Post and had the opportunity to shoot it. They couldn't hit anything far away because it is sighted in for a very long distance and they weren't shooting that far but they had a blast and he said it was soo sweet. He said he wanted to shoot a hog with it just to see what would happen but didn't have any luck. They did get one with Logan's smaller gun though. Anyway they had fun and they look pretty cool holding it even if they are dorks....I guess Mark is right...it has the CDI (chicks dig it) factor!!

Daylon holding it...I don't think they actually shot it without the tripod.
Logan holding it up...this gun is sooo heavy...like 35lbs...doesn't seem like a lot but I swore it weighed at least 60 because it felt as heavy as a bag of dog food

Logan and his hog he shot
Daylon standing in the road on the way home...yeah it had rained A TON and they had to go back and take the highway

CHAVEZ! I'm on your blog so fast you're going to start thinking I have Glover Blog Alerts. Maybe I do. Nice gun. I actually have a .50 caliber, only its like a Davy Crockett style black powder rifle that I bought about 6 years ago in an auction for 90 bucks and I've never even shot it. Even so, I still have the smile on my face about it!
Hey Shayla! I need your email address so I can sent you and Daylon an evite for our Halloween party next week!
Thanks!
Nicole
