Four Stevens walk into an Arbys...

This is a trip Aaron recently went on with two of his brothers & his dad. As I was not there I will let him write this post. This should be interesting......

Rob was good enough to set up a quad trip before Paul left for dental school. We all met in Fillmore and off we went.

Points of interest:

1. CPS wisely decided not to bring the trailer and multi-uhaul loads of gear.

2. Paul set a new meaning to the term "splatter".

3. I wussed out, destroyed my machine (again), and got out while the getting was good. Experience readily taught what I should have learned from sound advice. Get a bigger better machine.

4. Rob found out that although 16 MOA reloads really are "good enough" the ones that actually cycle the slide work best in autopistols.

5. CPS brought several items that really did prove useful. That rope came in handy, as did the horse pills for back pain. However, there are no pills to get us through Arby's without incident.

6. Paul showed that a Glock, even poorly shot, beats an XD every time. Maybe the XD would do better with some Eagle Talons.

7. I found out that a machine with no brakes, broken steering, no starter, unreliable battery, a clogged intake, shot transmission, hand-breaking pull starter, leaking tires, and questionable engine mounts floods easily yet is readily fixed by CPS's mechanical skills and prayer at high altitudes.

8. Rob learned not to invite me without a thorough machine check, CPS without a gear check, and Paul without some high-strength immodium.

It was a good time, we all learned a bit for the next trip, and no person or machine went off a cliff.

Success.
