Had to run to town and visit the grocery store do the weekly resupply . Some items are always going to be on the list. Milk, butter bread, fresh fruit and veggies & meat those things are usually needed at least every trip , then we have stuff I have to pick up on a less frequent timeline. a big bag of Dog food can last 2 almost 3 weeks bird seed and cat food and litter are the same. Paper supplies are also on the infrequent list ,and I get really annoyed every time I have to purchase toilet paper, because it says right on the package that the manufacturers think I am an idiot. Well , not in so many words, but on each and every package it says something like Six rolls EQUALS twelve . Huh ? Nope . Six rolls = 6 rolls SIX not twelve not eighteen SIX . Six is the number of the rolls in the package. How good do you think it would work if when I went to pay I told the checkout person "My three dollars is equal to six ?" they would laugh me out of the place.

The spare magazines for the Springfield 9MM arrived today. They got here fairly quickly considering that Monday was Presidents day . I have read a bunch of reviews and am looking foreword to trying out the new pistol . As of this morning it looks like spring , most of the snow has melted , and the temperature is warm , but that is going to change . Friday its going to get ugly again, rainy colder and snow , but the days are getting longer and we are almost into March , it'll soon be time to put away the snow shovel and fire up the rototiller!

Picked up a new carry pistol. 1911 3 inch barrel 9MM Ronan by Springfield Armory It feels good in hand , substantial looks good. My only complaint is it came with one magazine. I ordered three spares from S.A. they'll probably be here Tuesday . My original plan was a inexpensive 9MM for a truck gun . Well that didn't work ! This little fellow was not cheap, but I have read numerous good reviews of them.
