Memorial Day shooting

We went out to SVRC this afternoon, after watching a few more episodes of Lost. It was a beautiful weekend. We took some paper targets (bull's eyes and some zombie and Osama figures) and some pop cans, and had some fun plinking, leaving about 1500 and getting back here about 1745.
We almost had the place to ourselves; the only person there left as we arrived, and then a guy and two newbie girls arrived (he was teaching them about shooting). He was using paper and spray painted a black blob then an orange blob in the center; interesting approach. He kept the targets pretty close since it was likely their first time. As we were leaving, a guy arrived to shoot a .22 in the rifle range; had a nice Leupold scope on it.
I tried shooting (the EMP) without earphones, just to see what it was like; it was louder than expected and left my ears ringing for a minute; it wasn't terrible.
I updated our MythTV channel lineup (either cable company had changed channel numbers or SchedulesDirect, which we just renewed, had the wrong channels), using this helpful MythTV wiki entry. (select channum, callsign from channel will show the current associations in the MythTV "mythconverg" MySQL database.)
I also finished assignment #5 for my Databases class. Didn't take too long: much ado about database roles and permissions.
Books finished: God in the Pits.DVDs finished: Lost season 1, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Season 2.
