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.
