What are you gonna do about the transfer to TN?

I'll be fine.

Howdy neighbor.

So the ammo didn't actually explode, it apparently just cooked off.

The 1911 is what all pistols aspire to be. Just buy one and get it over with. You'll thank me later. Oh, and everybody needs a 92 or a 96....

Many years ago I worked for a beer and wine distributor. We once got a whole train car of wine and the whole load had shifted. We drank gallon jugs of Inglenook chablis for months.

Get a survey and move it if it encroached on to the neighbor property.

The possum in the barrel?

No big surprise. The next generation will make it even worse. They've been coddled and protected their whole life. They'll expect the same and vote for it as they age. We're a dying breed. I suppose that's true of every generation though.

Don't worry, I understand. I did the scotch routine when I was a younger fella and have just moved on to bourbon. Actually working on my own just for fun.

I'm awfully fond of the vanilla and apricot overtones in my bourbon.

Imho, unless there's some gloriously deadly global pandemic, you may as well prepare for ongoing successful legislation that will curb our rights. Too many bodies and diminishing resources demand governments control the herd.

I had my fling with scotch many years ago. Just don't care to tolerate the smoked peat.

Isn't that how scotch tastes?

My thinking on this is that it takes a certain kind of person to teach, certainly at the elementary level. My wife is practical and in her way ferocious, but to deal with the elementary students she does and especially the parents of that lot, she has to have a vision of the future that's somewhat hopeful. Certainly more so than mine at least. I will say that after 25 years she's gotten to the point where she's not as able to tilt at those windmills as she once was. Of course having married me, it's evident she's an optimist...

Is anyone in this conversation actually married to a school teacher?

Am I weird because I am just unable to get into the Zen of podcasts?

So as the husband of a school teacher who's had these talks, let me ask. What's her opinion on this? Let me just say....she's an adult. You have to trust her opinion.

Well obviously you didn't slink away and laugh hysterically.

Have you talked to her about this? I ask because in some systems it might be hard to explain body armor in a classroom. Schools systems are weird institutions.

That's why I golf at night...

I went golfing once. I quickly realized it's more fun to shoot the balls with a .22

I learned to cook in order to pick up women. It obviously worked. I've been married 40 years and I'm still cooking.

Since when can you vote without Id?

It's a budget gun. Doesn't mean they're bad, but I've seen some inconsistencies. I had one I gave up on and converted to a full time .22 with a Kimber conversion kit I had.
