Good morning!!!!

Picked up the revolver...gun shop was jammed with hunters want to weigh their deer.
Picture is stock off the internet. I'll need to clean the preservative oil off mine before snapping a few pics.
I like the black finish. Not sure how it'll hold up when holstering repeatedly....but I bought the gun primarily to reside in a desk for home defense so, I doubt I carry it too often (even though I did order a holster for it)
The front sight is black..and I think I'll have to paint the ramp with something to contrast it for a better sight picture

I've been reading and keeping up. Twice I've had posts typed up, ready to post, and something on my cell phone messed up.....losing everything. The nut in front of the but.

Diverse prolific group here. Great pictures.

One of my employees was diagnosed with cancer yesterday only in his mid twenties

Prayers for all in need

Prayers for Tyrin. Hope for the best.

George P. Bush, our Texas Land Commissioner, is working on a plan to reclaim the entire footprint of the Alamo, not just the church. I suspect it will be easily funded mostly by private/ corporate donations.

Yes, the Alamo area is all commercialized. I hope they get some land back. It wouldn't bother me in the least to see Ripley's Believe it or Not go away.

Not sure why, but Phil Collins was an avid collector of Alamo things. IIRC, he donated them maybe 10 plus years ago.

68°F and .02 inches rain.

Got Tundra back late yesterday. Not enough change from $1400 to take wife to dinner. Runs good, no idiot lights. Refused to reimburse tow in. Will be writing letter to dealership owner letting him know his manager’s attitude cost a 30+ year customer.

Will be taking Pilot to Konaside this morning - Costco trip. Likely expensive. That will pretty much take the day, 180 miles round trip. Stop in Waimea for late lunch on way home.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
Best laid plans....

Tundra battery dead. Once 50% attempted restart presented array of idiot lights. All went out when started.
Back to dealer.
Wife has expressed vote of non confidence longterm.
Guess part of weekend will be research.

Still have to pick up glasses etc, but not breakfast and dogs miss their truck ride.

What was the $1400 for? If you don't mind me asking. I hope you get it straightened out. I hate finding electrical shorts.


My son just bought a new Gladiator Launch Edition, I’m proud of him, he fought it for eight months before giving in to the urge! LOL

Nice truck, and nice tractor. Glad you all and Drew had a nice visit.

Ron and L4N, too cold for my blood up there.

I'm burning brush this morning. Trying not to let the burn pile get too big. Weather service shows very little wind here today and tomorrow.

Rick, interesting history. Turkey is a fascinating area.

Hawkeye, hope the back keeps getting better, and the job thing goes in the right direction.

My computer team at work are saying I "have" to upgrade to Win10 from Win 7. They have started cutting me off from areas on the companies' server.

I went to Austin yesterday, on my day off, to go to the State's surplus store. They sell the stuff that the airport security team takes away from you. Namely knives, tactical pens, anything to do with bullet brass, credit card knives, etc. I bought 10 new pocket knives, to give as stocking stuffers to friends. Most were cheap, but they had different bins, with different prices. My son got a nice Victorinox Swiss knife. Many were looking for Victorinox multi tool like the below link. The expensive brands were in a glass display, and were priced at half price. Too much IMO for the situation. I guess if you really want an expensive used knife for half price, it could be a good deal. I thought that if they had small padded envelopes at the point of being searched, that you could buy and mail your knife back to your home, it would be a good thing for those not thinking.

Prayers for all in need. Picture perfect weather here after a bout of winterlike precipitation. There was 2" of rain in my gauge that hasn't been emptied in a while. Much needed.

Don, Launch truck is not numbered, just says 1 of 4120 or whatever the total was.

Cold and windy as heck all day with overcast. 44 was the high but wind chills were 32-35 all day. Tomorrow is much the same with a chance of showers and slightly less wind.

Did I say that Ellen and I had a really enjoyable lunch with Drew on Friday, and Cobb Salads were great!

The wind was really cold today. Son drove me to Lowe’s to get block for the fire ring, and the wind was frigid. Got home and left them in truck, will warm up some this week. Been a watch football kind of day.
