On Sunday Ry and I tried out a new shooting game. Ry's brainchild -- Boomerpins. Very much like a bowling pin shoot. Man-on-man (we did have one female shooter so maybe it should be 'person-on-person') single elimination event. As expected, this being a beta test, we had a few glitches. We recovered fairly well (sorry Don, you got screwed when that target fell apart). Here is a video of one of the matches:

We discovered a few months ago with Ry's van that if your windshield has a chip or crack the nearby explosions will cause the crack to propagate. We rediscovered that with my van on Sunday. It had a small crack from a rock chip that required the windshield be replaced but I hadn't gotten around to it. After Sunday's game the crack had expanded to nearly the entire height of the windshield.

I have an appointment tomorrow to have it replaced.
<heavy sigh> Last week it was brakes all the way around plus the idler arms. This week it's the pickup transmission and the van windshield.
