Welfare State

Beautiful Day

Haven't done much of anything but work for the last view weeks.  Work at work and work at home.  This morning the Boss and I rode our horses on the local trails for 3 hours.  The last 1/2 hour was a little rough because of my arthritic left hip, but other than that, it was a beautiful day and a great ride.

Last weekend my adopted grandson wanted to see some of my firearms.  During the show and tell I saw some rust on my 50cal smoke pole.  I loaned it out last winter to a guy for deer hunting.  Obviously one or both of us failed to clean it.  Need to remedy that soon.

Mental Defectives

Have you ever thought that someone opened the doors to all of the mental hospitals?  The mental defectives that aren't in congress, are killing people for the fun of it world wide.

I'll Help Them Pack

 The last few years I haven't watched much in the way of sports on the TV.  Throughout my life I've never been much for watching sports, because I was too busy playing sports.  Even though I can't physically play sports in my elder years, I find watching to be less than satisfactory.  Despite that I was intending to watch some NFL this year, at least the local team.

Not now!!!  When those morons decided to disrespect our national anthem, I decided they could go to hell.  I'm done with the NFL.  I don't care what their reasoning is, they can leave the country, I'll help them pack.

Civilian Liberty

I read that we citizens posses more guns than most, maybe all, the militaries in the world.  And I've observed that civilians are generally better marksmen than most of law-enforcement and military personnel.  Without firearms we are reduced to subjects and likely to fall into servitude of our own government.

Shut The Door

So we went from nice weather with highs in the low 70s, to highs at 90 and humidity for the next half dozen days.  My sister lives in Florida. I wish she would shut the damn door.  I'd welcome a little snow about now.

Beautiful Sight

So after taking care of the horses and mowing grass, made it to the range for some handgun practice.  A few years ago I purchased some cheap bullets of plated lead.  They shoot fine except that the hollow points tend to hang on the feed ramp of my Kimber, especially when it's a little dirty.  Today I found that problem only occurred when I was shooting weak hand only.  When that happens the bullet gets pushed back in the case and refuses to feed even with a taper crimp.  Apparently my weak hand has a limp wrist. 

I'm not worried about it too much since my carry ammunition uses the better quality Hornady XTP. Never had a problem with that stuff.

Put a dozen rounds of 454 through the Ruger Super Redhawk.  Forgot how that thing recoiled.

Met a family at the range.  Four generations of nice people shooting.  A beautiful sight to behold.
