- Putting a metal roof on a treehouse on the day before a winter storm, when the wind is starting to come up, wasn’t as much fun as I thought it would be.
- Neither was grabbing a hot glass baking dish out of the oven, then doing my best to not let my wife know it hurt because she’d warned me to use an oven mitt.
- I’m pretty sure the fingerprints on my left hand will return to their original configuration.
- For date night this month, Irish Woman and I went to an indoor range.
- This is only her second time shooting.
- With the Ruger Mark II pistol, she had 3 to 4 inch groups dead centered on what would have been the bridge of the target’s nose.
- With the Glock 17, she was almost as good.
- With the Kimber Solo Carry, her groups opened up to about 12 inches, which was about as well as I did with that gun.
- With my CZ-82, she was back down to 3 to 4 inch groups at 10 feet.
- Of course, her favorite gun is my CZ. Why wouldn’t she prefer my favorite handgun? Oh well, guess I’ll just have to buy her one of her own.
- That reminds me. I need to re-up my C&R license.
- I’m pretty sure I don’t like the little Kimber Solo. It’s so light that when you touch off a 9mm, it wants to jump out of my hand. When I try to hold it tighter, I get bit by the slide. Irish Woman liked it OK, and wants to learn to shoot it well, so I’ll keep it until she’s tired of it.
- Between leaving the range and getting to the movie that night, we decided to go out for Chinese. By the time we left, I was looking for an OompaLoompa to roll me out to the car for juicing.
- I’ve started working the evening shift for the Christmas season. I’m two days in and am starting to figure out how to get enough sleep, yet not fall into the trap of only sleeping and working.
- My goal is to get home at about midnight, get to sleep as soon as possible, then get up at 6 to get the kids off to school.
- Mornings will have me doing one thing, like doing house work or going to the gym, then getting a nap.
- Still haven’t figured out how to make that work, but it’ll come.
- Note to self – Try to figure out that something important in your story is ridiculous before you’re a few thousand words in. This is like getting to the end of knitting a scarf and realizing that you dropped a stitch or two in the third row and now it looks stupid.
- We caught the southern edge of Snowmageddon 2014-1 the other night. Got enough snow and wind to close schools, but not enough to keep Boo cooped up in the house all day Monday.
- I told Girlie Bear the other night that if she got her grades up to at least a B in every class, then I’d let her get her learner’s permit and teach her to drive. Pray for me.

/ November 20, 2014Buy 2 of the CZs, so you have a spare. Just sayin’.)
(And Mrs. Drang keeps getting Stars. Great guns, but no longer in business, let alone production…)

/ November 21, 2014I may pick up another CZ-82, just to have. I probably need to pick up a spring set or two, just in case.
