 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 ?
