- Girlie Bear’s ski trip was cancelled at the last minute. The fact that it was in the 60’s at 7 this morning probably had a lot to do with it.
- Winter is coming back. There’s a violent storm to the west of us. Looks like we’ll only catch the edge of it, but there’s snow behind it.
- Moonshine weighed in at just over 26 pounds at the vet today.
- He was born in September.
- I think I may let him take up smoking to stunt his growth.
- I noticed this morning that the hippie dippie grocery store in my neighborhood has moved across the street and someone is turning their old storefront into a Dunkin Donuts.
- I may have lost my taste for sweets, but I have not lost my taste for huge honking cups of coffee with cream and sugar.
- Freiheit was nice enough to invite me out to the KDPL match this morning.
- They were already shooting when I got there, so I just wandered around and watched the different stages.
- I think I’m going to try it out next month. It was fun to watch, and when is shooting not fun?
- Of course, Freiheit and I have no idea what the other looks like, so we never connected.
- Hopefully we will finally get to meet at the Friends of the NRA meeting in a couple of weeks.
- After a while, I wandered back up to the main range and met a friend from Jihadistan.
- She and her husband were trying out their new-to-them Mossberg shotgun and practicing with their revolver.
- Remind me to bring both of them to a gun fight. They ate up their target.
- They graciously let me take their position on the firing line after they were done.
- Today, Knob Creek was the busiest I’ve ever seen it without a machine gun shoot going on.
- I saw men and women shooting today of all ages and apparent backgrounds, and it looked like a lot of them were first time shooters.
- KCR still has a lot of guns up on the shelves, and their ammunition stocks seem pretty full up.
- I did hear someone mention that the range was limiting customers to 200 cartridges per purchase, so that may be how they’re keeping from being cleaned out.
- Their prices weren’t too bad compared to normal, but their prices are usually a tad higher than the dealers in Louisville.
- Then again, if you can’t find your ammunition at Knob Creek, it’s probably not available on the market.
- I confirmed the zero on the AR-15, practiced with the CZ-82 and Mark III pistols, and zero’ed the Mosin’s new Mojo sights in at 100 yards.
- I’m dead on at 25 paces with the Mark III, but the CZ-82 is grouping about an inch high and three inches to the left of POA. Have to look up what I’m doing that might be causing that.
- The AR is good to go at 100 yards.
- The Mosin is even more fun to shoot now with a Timney trigger and Mojo sights.
- Yes, I’ve put more money than I paid for the rifle into improving some aspects of it, but it’s a lot of fun to shoot and the ammunition for it is still cheap when compared to .308 or .30-06.
- I guess it’s good that I didn’t rush out and buy a bunch of stuff with the rest of the herd, because my gun fund is going to have to go toward a new washer.
- 22 years on the same machine isn’t too bad. It stood up to over two decades of hard, everyday use.
- Wish they still built them like that.
- Guess I’ll be adding my own private stimulation to the durable consumer goods market in the next few days.
- Good gosh, what are they making washers out of these days? $1200 for a machine that turns dirty clothes into wet, clean ones?

/ January 12, 2013For whatever it’s worth, we bought a Maytag Bravos 300 washer last year on recommendation from Robb and a few of the other GBC’ers. VERY happy with it.

/ January 13, 2013I went by the gun store on the way to the range yesterday, and they were cleaned out!!! They didn’t raise their prices, and they were down to FOUR semi auto rifles, about 10 Glocks, 8-10 Sigs and not much else. They did have bolt actions and a few revolvers, but not much else. Ammo was only odd calibers. NO .22 ammo at all!
