    She has an Sig P365 (that’s what most of the police in her area carry off duty)but she likes my Glock 19 too. I’m sure she’ll have several guns since she likes shooting so much.

    Afternoon all:

    Beautiful country there Tom! :thumbsup:

    Remember you mentioning her situation Sprig, not bad, what's that old saying about better being safe than sorry, sure hope she never has to resort to using it, but she shouldn't have to worry about a phycho stalking her either.
    Tell her to aim low, like in the groin area, that would really hurt! :laughing:

    Oh great, just read an article about another invasive species that's spreading, the Asian longhorned tick, and the darned critter doesn't need a mate to reproduce. It's been here since 2012 and is spreading on the East coast, pretty soon time to treat all clothing with permethrin. :annoyed:
    Just got this for my work clothing, not the usual Sawyers permethrin that I use on hunting clothing but supposed to work well. It's 10% permethrin and I'll dilute it to either .05% or.625%, might try the .625%, either one should work OK.
    This stuff is deadly to cats when wet, but not once it's dried, I'm careful to spray it in areas that they have no access to.

    Wife is on a mission, decorating the deck... guess who gets to assemble everything. I really don't see well enough to assemble small stuff anymore. I keep a small flashlight in my pocket 24/7 and use it more and more. Extra battery charging. I haven't tried driving yet, since the last surgery, but I should. May be forced to, someday.

    I was wondering what berry they were. Did you make a jam or jelly?

    Good morning. Yesterday was decent. I visited with friends after the service I had not seen in a few years and talked with my nephews fiancée, she is a really nice young lady. Dinner was from a food truck, our city sponsors a food truck gathering about once a month, that sells gourmet hot dogs. Wife abd son went out to a winery for music, the young woman playing was a student when my wife was teaching high school advanced math. I stayed home and watched a few more episodes of Will Trent on HULU.

    Today is back in the garage. Goal today is to go through my old detailing supply cabinet to get rid of a lot of waxes and polishes. I can no longer detail my vehicles and I need to pass this stuff on to someone who does this type of work.

    IMG_7847.jpg IMG_0974.jpg Wife made jam and a crumble.

    Yesterday The impenetrable tank got stung by we think a yellow jacket. Miserable. She went into some crazy histamine reaction. Puked and pooped. Not good. Rushed her in for a Benadryl shot.

    Dummy bit it…..left side. She is ok this am

    Excellent work for a good deed! Something that your students can prepare for their practicality in life. Thank you for making this society better, one student at a time.

    365 good choice for an edc. I am not a Glock fan, but if she has the opportunity to try an HK VP9 she might like it. Bought the VP9scs with the holosun 507k-gr x2 and it is a good shooter.

    I have a friend that travels through my yard also. It’s my neighbors cat. Great little hunter. I think I have mentioned on here at some point my total disdain for moles that were ripping apart my yard.
    This little cat (I call it mittens) has gone on the war path against these moles and my yard is moles mound free from last year to today. Just thought I would toss that out there.

    And, welcome aboard Jim.
