Thoughts on the Day

  • A friend of mine, who was lukewarm at best on the subject of guns the last time we talked about it, now owns a pistol, likes shooting it, and has taken his concealed carry class.
    • He got it at Christmastime.
    • That was a great thing to hear as the day began.
  • “Wow, I didn’t know it could do that!” is not something you want running through your mind when you’re troubleshooting a problem.
  • Girlie Bear and I stacked a cord of firewood last night.
    • Tonight, she’s excited to be going on a field trip with her JROTC class tomorrow.
    • Tonight, I’m reminded of all those mornings I haven’t been up exercising.
    • However, I have decided that I need a truck with a lifting bed.  The gentlemen who delivered the firewood had one and it took them all of 3 minutes to drop it all in the driveway, get paid, and be on their way.
  • Girlie Bear is going skiing in Indiana tomorrow.
    • Not sure how that works, but apparently you can ski in Indiana.
    • It was almost 70 degrees here today.
    • No amount of man-made snow and grooming is going to prevent her trip from being a slushy mess.
  • You know how when you bathe a dog wet they usually look like a drowned rat?
    • Moonshine doesn’t have that problem; it’s all muscle under that double coat.
  • The National Guard must be doing something this weekend. Our neighborhood had helicopters and transport aircraft flying over it all day.
    • If they fly much lower, they’re going to scrape off our new roof, and Irish Woman will hunt them down.
  • I don’t know who’s more excited about Girlie Bear’s first formal dance next weekend, her or her aunts and Irish Woman.
  • It’s a sad state of affairs when you look at an ammo can full of cartridges and have to say “I can only take 60 of these to the range tomorrow because I don’t know when I’ll be able to get more”.
    • Oh well, there’s always .22.

    RE: Skiing

    I know that where my dad grew up in NW Ohio, the highest point in the county is the dump. Maybe they just put a lift up the hill of garbage?

    I went skiing in IN once. They had the snow all right, except it was ice. There was not much I could do to avoid going wherever the hill wanted to send me.

    At least you have 22! I can’t find any 22lr up here in Dayton. WM had 2 boxes of 22 short and 3 boxes of 22 magnum last time I checked, actual gun stores are even worse.
