Heading to MN to stay with the Granddaughters for the weekend so Mom & Dad can have an adult weekend in MPLS. Will be fun, probably won't see them again until
Christmas time'
Wish I could have an "adult" weekend. Problem is I'd have to find an adult.

As a small child I was sometimes given paregoric for pain of rheumatic fever.
That may explain a lot.

An adult weekend sounds great if I could get the back pain under control. I'd rather be bear hunting.

Crazy day at work - just coming up for air. I'm so happy it's Friday!![emoji3]
You know what will make crocs really mellow out and be less agressive? A little...
They will pretty much just eat Doritos and play video games.
Cue Lerch.

Well Rusty, about a month ago I bought one LNIB with all the tools, paperwork, etc, probably neve fired. I decided it was too nice to shoot, so I was looking for a shooter. This latest one is very nice, but not too nice to shoot the heck out of.
I traded a $200.00 guitar amp for this 1989 CPD trade in.
It's a shooter.

I don't know why anyone would just assume that all drifters are wheel gun enthusiasts...I like them, but I prefer my gun fun semi automatic. The ratio I've got of one wheel gun to eighteen semi's is just right for me.
I traded a "stomp box" for this. I loved guitar players with guns.
Incidentally, I have whittled my pile down to 3 shoulder weapons, 5 bottom feeders and 1 that spins. Couldn't be happier.

Like a lot of guys my age I started out on revolvers. The access of the public to semi autos wasn't a peep compared to what it is now. Most of the semi autos commonly seen around were 1911 or target plinkers in .22lr.
But after my return from military service and my introduction to and familiarity with the 1911 I started to be interested. Gradually more and more manufacturers began making semiautomatic pistols in various calibers and for various needs. I eventually found myself owning more and more semi autos.
But about 5 years ago the arthritis in my hands got so bad I was having trouble operating the controls on them. I decided to get a couple of revolvers and brush up on handling and shooting them in case it got so bad that I couldn't handle the Semi auto safely and smoothly.
A funny thing happened.
I fell in love all over again with the wheel guns. I had a couple of really good shooters that I felt very comfortable with. I got lucky and found a Lew Horton 24-3 N-frame .44 spl and a Ruger Sp-101 in .357 mag/.38 spl
A short time later I had a small cancer on my thyroid and half of the thyroid and half of the para thyroid (it had a non malignant mass on it) were removed. Got my thyroid an calcium balance back in controll and after about 4 months I felt better that I had in 10 or 12 years. I got off the pain meds and my hands improved about a thousand percent.
So I am still good to go with my semi autos but I'm not going to let my revolves slip back into being the "gun from yesterday" ever again. They have their place and uses in the hand gun world and they are fun and easy to shoot and maintain.
NOTE: sorry that this was not a drift from the preceding subject but that in itself would be a kind of drift wouldn't it.
