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 GLOCK now has TruGlo TFO night sights not shown, which I absolutely love!!!

Had a good day today. Picked up my Ruger American, got a scope and bipod mounted already. Probably won't get to the range till next week sometime,bummer. Went to the alphabet store for a little touch of something to kick back with tonight. Got chicken on the grill. Bought and put together a new coffee table. Got the ozone machine working again. Minus almost getting run over by some b***h on her cell phone(she missed my wife by about 6 inches) when we were walking across WM parking lot it has been a wonderful day.

No problem Buddy you welcome to stop by anytime.
Besides, me & my partner Kevin are like those doctors on MASH. Can't get rid of us because we're the only ones who know what the hell to do.

First I planted the herb seeds that sprouted and were wasting away, not getting watered. :( I took my daughter to the park then picked up Carolina Bagel for lunch with the wife at work. Back to the house and out on the Neuse with the power boat. Just got in. Homemade sour cream waffles and Sausage for supper. I missed my nap.

Up at 10 (retired ya know), coffee and newspaper, check email, and get shipping notice on 500 rounds of .40S&W, and .22LR.

Pack up range bag, off to On-Target with wife and meet daughter there. Good day at range, consistently putting 90%+ of rounds in 4" diamond in center of target. 150+ rounds with both my .40's and happy with shot placement.

Off to Moe's BBQ for a late lunch, then French Broad Brewing for a couple of craft brews.

Met some NCGO peeps in New Bern today for lunch but there was no peep show! :)

How come the drive back home from some where is always a shorter time, yet it's the same distance. 1:45-50 down and 1:30hr back. :D

Now, just sitting back with an adult beverage and planning out what all I need to get done tomorrow. Looks like rain for Sunday, so I think I ought to work on getting some stuff completed in the hall bath (replace light switches, receptacles, & new light fixture), maybe go to the local range and shoot the 1911's a bit.

May just take Monday off too since I won't have another holiday day off till the end of May....:)

Did a whole lot of nothing til about 1:30, since then it's been chaos. Ran a ton of errands, then headed out to a fundraiser dinner for my college (I was working it instead of enjoying it), then headed out to work where I am now. The girlfriend is in Florida so took some time to talk to her on FaceTime (amazing this technology stuff). Finishing up work in the next 30 minutes, then it's off to home to sleep so I can be at the other job @ 10tomorrow.

Gonna be wore out come Sunday, working 10-6 at one job tomorrow, then supper with the guys, then out to the other job til 12 or so. Fun stuff.
