 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.


                                                     Something to do on a slow afternoon ?


                                                     makes as much sense as the other guesses.

   Friday the 13th, and night before valentines day. Sounds like a horror movie double feature ! We are having a bit of  a warmup , in the 50s again tomorrow. I might have to get some charcoal and burn something on the grill . We can still get brutal cold snaps yet so I'm not declaring winter to be over, but if it was , it would be alright with me.

  I have gotten a little work done in the basement shop, Got the shelf units redone , and mounted packout wall plates to the ends so I can hang up tools and equipment. They have a nifty holder that will keep the string trimmers up out of the way parked on the end of the shelf unit in otherwise wasted space . Then being that I hade all of this brand new empty shelf space I wrapped up all of the extension cords and battery chargers and got them organized ,and put away nicely instead of a big tangled up knot of junk. I went through the stuff on the tool bench and got that somewhat cleaned up, but there is still a bit more to go on that one. I still have to tackle the gun/knife bench. that is a colossal mess buried in miscellaneous . The pegboard is slowly going away and packout taking over that stuff works great but it's costly. It sure makes for a good looking finished product though

   Went for a little road trip  with my good friend Jiro yesterday . We stopped a Harbor Freight and got a couple small items , they have a Mini Toolbox that is well worth the twenty dollar bill that they are asking. I've got a couple , and they make good presents as well. We then visited a couple gun stores and Mid West Shooters Supply . I am proud to say all I bought was a spare magazine for the G.S.G. .22 pistol , why they would let a semiautomatic pistol out the door with only one magazine just makes me wonder. Jiro made it through with  only a couple boxes of .410 shells so his billfold didn't take too bad of a hit either. Grabbed a burrito for lunch and made our way back . It was an alright way to spend a winter afternoon.

The Leaves "Hey Joe" Stereo (Enhanced audio)

  Sent off the first half of the property taxes last week . Kinda feels like money for nothing . It is discouraging working every day to send a bunch of cash off for someone else to spend. In light of all of the fraud and corruption it is even more odious of a burden to forfeit my hard earned money to support the parasitic class. Spring can't get here soon enough .

                                                         Is it supposed to do that ?
