So , I made a trip up to my friends farm up by the Dells and we checked out the Kimber after I put in the spring kit . The trigger is a bit better , but it still tends to hit to the left . Being that the Micro 9 is so small it is hard to hold on to . After that , I pulled out the Springfield EMP what a difference ! Whacking the gongs like nothing even putting a hurt on the 40 yard targets like a breeze ! That one makes anyone look like a good shooter. I decided not to break out the SA35 ,that would feel like cheating.

It has been a rough week . We have had a lot of stormy weather and more on the horizon . It has been busy at work as well. Been training a new mechanic on second shift and it seems like the machine operators were willing to give us lots to do.
I will go down to the grouch cave in a bit and play gunsmith. I ordered a spring kit for the Kimber . It is a nice pistol , but the trigger needs help . I ordered up an Mcarbo spring kit Sunday and it showed up yesterday. We will see if this helps. I hope so , I like this little pistol and it has potential to be a decent EDC piece .

Wild weather last night the little church in East Bristol had about 40 % of the roof torn off. about 12;30 the weather alerts went off .They weren't kidding lightning, wind and rain made for a lively late night.
On an unrelated note . Disgraced former senator Eric Swalwell has dropped out of the gubernatorial race in Ca. and had resigned his seat. That is a good start , now to demonstrate his complete sincerity he ought to commit Seppuku on the steps of the capitol. That would be a good example for the others like him.
