1/2 past the Year, July Coffee is here

[The Trinity Kid]

I'll rustle some coals for the coffee.

Still 100 today, theoretically.  It's cloudy, so we might get a little cooler, but the humidity is already up, so this should be muggy.

Found out this morning that Dick Dastardly's wife passed away this week.    He is a WI pard that taught me how to cast bullets.

Take it slow Roo, You'll heal up a lot better if you take your time.

[The Trinity Kid]

I'll stir the coals and set up a night pot. 

Weather is still 100 degrees.  If I wanted to live in a bread oven, I'd move to Arizona. 

Today was my first day as a US Forest Service employee on the payroll.  Got in at 930 and didn't get home until 1800.  But, I got extra hours today already, so we're off to a good start. 

Good to hear you're out of the doctor place, Roo.

Got home from verk and trimmed a horse's hooves 'cuz he is going to be a stand-in for the horse my daughter is riding in the Dressage show on Saturday. The other horse came up lame. Took a shower and went back to verk to fix an issue. Got home 'bout 2100.

Thanks Pards....i am not use to being this slowed.  Not likei was ever fast.  
Sod Buster i wondered if you were still around.


Up early to let dogs out.  Had not had coffee in a couple weeks now. It still smells good just can't seem to get it down.

Had cornbread and fried okra for supper- had a homegrown 'mater on toast for lunch yesterday. Think i'll add one of these butt nuggets from a willing donor today.
.

Finally shaved my head after 6 weeks and trimmed up my facial hairs... haven't gone full blown Phil Robertson or zz tops, but i am sporting a growth of multi colored  manliness. 

Gonna get ready for 9 am doctor appointment in town

Morning all.

Stupid kitten woke me up 45 minutes early.   The thing hasn't figured out that closed doors mean he's not wanted, so he just sits there and meows.

First day up at a lookout tower today.  I have to leave town by 9:30, and then go up there and sit around doing nothing for the next 9 hours.  Yay.  At least I'm getting paid.

Watch out for that okra, that nasty stuff will kill ya

Well, we had a couple days where the storms come up fast and hard... lots a wind and rain. On the plus side, after it was done last night, we had a clear sky, mild breeze, and it was in the lower 70's inside. Beautiful sleeping weather... and I just couldn't get to sleep! A couple of episodes of Boardwalk Empire (With commentary), and I finally went to sleep about 3 or 4ish.

The main genny died yesterday. Normally they just blow up, but this one decided it wanted to live, it just didn't want to provide any electric. So I ended up bringing the little shop genny over for the cabin, since it used to be the back up before I moved shop into the shed. Beautiful thing about Harbor Freight warranties, work that genny like a dog for a year, trade it in when it dies. Now, y'all can say what you want about Harbor Freight stuff being junk, but we work a genny 10-18 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I might have mentioned to the camp some time back ....I won a GLOCK  

It was April 10, at the range I had volunteered to RO " Ladies Day " It's an open event to ladies only to try the different disciplines
offered.  It has been a yearly thing extremely well attended some 300 women sign up for all over the State, some never have shot before.
I man the Western action stage , and 129 women tried that venue....

The event is rather well sponsored, as I mentioned GLOCK , Kel-Tec, High Standard, Midway, Mossberg , Hoppe's to name some...

Anyway, GLOCK offered 2 Pistols in a Random Drawing , one for Volunteers & and one for attendees ...

My number was chosen    So I receive a voucher for a GLOCK....my choice any Caliber , any model,  Gen. 3 or Gen. 4

now there were some up charges ...
say Gen 3 none,  but Gen. 4  + $35.    
want Optics + $135
want  Comp. Model  + $ 235

I opted for the GLOCK 17 Gen. 4  = 9mm large frame so my out of pocket was $37.45 ( $35 + sale tax )

AS I said that was back in April.... They (GLOCK) tell you in small print on the order form ..it can take 20 weeks to receive your gun....
Reason being they don't stock AWARD GUNS cause of the varied options a winning recipient might want.

OK so 16 weeks go by, and my FFL calls ...your GLOCK is here    that was two days ago   paperwork done I walked out with my new GLOCK Tuesday ....

Never owned a Plastic gun ( well not since I was a kid ) this thing is KOOL !

Major 2, did it come with 3 mags at no extra charge?

'Tis 60 and sunny. "Sunny in the morning  then partly cloudy with a slight chance of showers in the afternoon. Patchy fog in the morning. Highs in the lower 80s. Northeast wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent."
