A classic

                                                             Ever had that feeling ?

                                                              Fluffy has second thoughts !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                 Under the heading of, Keep trying eventually you'll get it right

 

 

 

              That is why you read the instructions first .Common sense helps a bit as well

 

 

 posting has been sparse due to a couple factors . I got into some soy and had a allergic reaction last week, missed a bunch of work ,but was on call Saturday ,had to run into the plant 4 times so that kept me busy in between small chores. Did a run to the recycling center and got some of the yard mowed   , had to do a bit of fixing on the garden tractor first . The lawn will get out of hand in a hurry now that it has warmed up some . I ought to poke around and see if I can find any morels . The asparagus ought to be starting soon too.

 I have seen some conversations about the downfall of Eric Swalwell . I think it is an example of what happens when your idiocy outweighs your usefulness . You've had your 15 minutes of fame Eric . Now its time for you to hop on to your favorite Chinese spy / prostitute and ride off into the sunset to hopefully be soon forgotten. 

                                                   Kinda feels that way sometimes 

 

 

 

 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.

 

 

 

 

 Got the spring kit put into the Kimber Micro 9 it was not too bad of a job . It probably took nearly as long to find my brass punches as it did to put the new parts in . Now , the next step , range trip to test it out. stay tuned ....

 

   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.

 

 

  I ordered a spring kit for the new pistol , It needs a little help , the trigger has about a 7 pound break . that makes it pull to the left. The kit doesn't look too hard to install. It will show up in a week or so , I didn't feel like paying 50% extra to get it a day sooner. It is finally warming up a bit here. lately it has been either cold , windy , raining , or all of the above at one time. 

                                                          Kinda feels that way sometimes ...

 

                                                                      Yep !

 

 

 

                   Ok I'm torn here , I don't know if this is a terrible idea , or freaking brilliant .

 

 

 Now if the mayor of NYC TRULY believed in the "Warmth of collectivism " wouldn't he be using the billions of dollars in wealth that his family had accumulated and spent it all to make peoples lives better in his city ?

 Took the Kimber out and tried it out . It shoots ok, it is small so harder to grasp with my big bear paws . It has three dot sights , and a 7 round capacity . It does have a bit of recoil because it is a small pistol with an aluminum alloy frame . with a little attention to form we were banging the gong with no troubles. even managed to hit the deer target at 40 yards a couple times !  

  As a range toy the Springfield is easier to shoot with a bigger grip and less perceived recoil , but for carrying around the Kimber wins being smaller and lighter in weight. I will not feel bad packing either one , or both in a super sketchy situation. The SA35 still wins out as overall best pistol.

                                             Keeps things interesting at dinnertime !

 

                                              Always long lines and the pre screen prep is brutal!

  Added another one to the flock. A 1911 style in 9 MM . It's a Kimber micro 9  ,I think it makes a good companion piece for the Ronin . It is smaller and lighter than the Springfield . If I can find a decent holster it'll be a good carry pistol.  Looking forward to range trip for testing and evaluation .

 

                       Not my problem , I don't know that many people !

 

 

   Woah rough day , almost hit a horse on my way from work Monday ,I'm glad I was not in a hurry. generally I see lots of deer and turkeys during my commute ,but this was a new one ! Got home and crashed, and woke up to a 52 degree house . The furnace had faulted out ,had to reset and restart after topping off the water tank. Got to work and realized that I'd forgotten to change from tennis shoes to workboots , sneakers are lousy on concrete floors ,those things really tear up your feet. I see a few kids at work wearing Chuck Taylors ,those are cool, but not at work. Their feet must really be tired at the end of the shift. So after all of that I will be looking foreword to a good nights sleep .Here's hoping a flock of inebriated peafowl  do not decide to camp out in the elm tree.
