So,...........It's a great day in paradise where every day is a holiday and, every meal's a feast :D

This morning, I slept in after 4am which is unusual for me.

I saw on the news Dianne Warwick was down to her last 1000 and owed 10million in taxes.
I remember when she did a charity appearance back in the day and charged the charity twice what they brought in for the appearance.

Do I feel sorry for her not being able to live like an elite any longer? NO

It was brought to my attention that she was Whitney Houstons aunt.
Now I really don't follow the Hollywood scene but what crossed my mind was this.

Well Whitney is not going to have to ever worry about this problem. She's dead. No problems.

I have been behind on my work. Car, the only one left running at the moment is leaking at the water pump now. The fuel door wouldn't open "switch" and I had to cut through the trunk liner to get to the actuater to open it.
I could go on and on whining about all the problems I have but I won't.

I have embraced them. They let me know I am still alive. If I have problems it's good. When I don't have problems any longer, I'll be dead.
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Marines been saying that long before the song.
Any day above ground is a good day :thumbsup:

So, I say to you, these minor life issues are a blessing. When you go and deploy to a hostile foreign land, it's the small things that we take for granted that you miss.
Oh yea, my riding mower is broke now too. oh, joy, ughhh. another blessing :hilarious:

So, I thought well, I have been swapping sights and optics around. I need to zero the TR21R Trijicon and rezero the Matech flip up BUIS.

I went out when the sun rose. I shot and made adjustments to the iron sights until my quarter sized groups were in the center. It was fun. As long as I've been shooting, I was tickled.
Then I did the same with the old TR21r that I had got from FrontLine Defense some time ago.
That sight is sweet! I was thinking "On a Wednesday cold March morn, could a man have more fun than this?!!!:)

So, I decided I needed to run a couple mags through my Glock for practice. It's been awhile.

I moved way on up to the 15 yard line.
I shot some Mags through my RIA 1911, rapid action drills from not looking to look and draw.

I had a new Ruger SR1911 Magazine that performed flawlessly. The ACT-MAG that came with the gun kept hanging on chambering the last round. I hate issues but at least I know it's the Magazine.

Then I shot the Glock and it performed flawlessly as expected! The G23 is awesome and is usually my carry pistol.

I then shot a Smith and Wesson Stainless 65-4 that I picked up cheap at an out of the way little gun shop.
This was the first chance I've had to shoot this one. Ooooooo, It is so sweet and i was tickled with happiness. I didn't want to stop shooting but I went through a box of ammo so I knew it was time to wrap it up.
Most of my shots were on target and none were off the pizza box.

So, what are guys up to today?

The new car hunt began today. My wife wants a new car and that's fine. I hate the dealership bullshit of salesmen, test drives, sales managers, etc. She knows what she wants so I emailed 8 dealership who are all within a 2 hour range of us and gave them the specs ... model, trim package, colors, interior, etc. and set them on each other to come up with the sharpest pencil and win our business with best price.

In only about 15 minutes the price has dropped nearly $5,000. I figure it will drop another $2-3,000 over the rest of this week and we'll go pick one up.

MRI and shopping trip went fine. Return tomorrow for doctor's visit.
Watched zoom auction/buy it now last night. Only 1 item wife wanted. Dang, 25 mile trip today.
Getting doctor/clinic bills from collection services. Don't know what I'm paying for. I write "I don't deal with collectors, return to provider for payment. Dang, waste of stamps.

Replaced the rear sight assembly on my M1917. Old one was worn and I couldn't read the numbers. In the process I discovered that the tiny rear sight joint nut that goes with the rear sight joint bolt was missing. Not a big deal, spring pressure on the sight assembly keeps the bolt from backing out, but it's just not right so I ordered a replacement from SARCO.

Dang, cat got out of the house Sunday while I was in and out changing oil in truck. She spent 2 nights outside, would come crying to the door then walk off when I opened it. Now she sits at the door crying to go back outside. Guess she's pissed at me, won't use the litter box. The food bowl is sitting in a cardboard drink flat. I saw it wet this morning, pee. Poops in the bathtub or in the hall.

I heard that Tractor Supply was starting to carry ammo. I stopped at the store in Horn Lake to check it out. Yep, 4X6 glass front display filled with ammo. Didn't see anything I wanted since I reload what I want.
I'll have to check my local store.

I was just in the Williamston TSC and didn't see any ammo but could have missed a 4x6 case. I reload too, have you ever use Serivicos Adventuras primers? Liberal tears has them cheap.
