Turn off the electronics and enjoy the silence...


Okay, the neighbor is cutting the grass and there isn't any silence. But I should turn off the electronics - too distracting from my real life day, living virtually. I did find time today, in the beauty of the sunshine and warm to stop and shoot a little bit, strictly for familiarization. The range had run out of 9mm by two in the afternoon, but I brought a box with me, used forty-two to figure out that I am not exactly deadly at seven yards, but next time I will get my money's worth and go to the twenty yard line and shoot all my pistols.

The new one is too slim, too short, too DA, and wonderfully reliable so far and I don't see any trouble in the future with it, either. Remembering that this is something that I am not competing with, I am not taking to war, that I am going to wear and forget about mostly until the next time I go to practice. Well, time to clean up after a busy day and take my wife out to dinner, my son and daughter-in-law's treat and my pleasure.
