Overuse injury?

The most recent issues of Fine Scale Modeler Magazine, Scale Auto Magazine, The Cowboy Chronicle, Guns of the Old West, and an occasional other magazine or catalog that manages to work its way in.

I would say that if you look at a map, Ohio has plenty of rural areas, small towns and small cities within commuting distance of bigger cities. Columbus is a good example. Within half an hour you have several smaller cities and towns that aren't actual suburbs. Given Ohio's size and highway system, putting yourself near Columbus would put you within a couple of hours drive of nearly all the shooting you can handle.

Been there, done that. Too many times to count.

Used to do the traditional meal, but the past few years, we've done Chinese carryout. Same today. Also trying to kick a cold.

Let's hope you have many years of both before that happens.

Everyone shakes hands?

I am typically hard to offend, but I don't recall you saying anything this past year I found troublesome, and I certainly appreciate your intent now. Have a happy, safe, and prosperous New Year!

You do quite a good job of that, and keeping a level head. It is much appreciated.

You are absolutely right, Bob. It just seems this particular year has been bad on so many levels.

I also just noticed that Ron Glass was missing from the list.

You make a very good point.

Let's not forget: So many LEO deaths that we nearly became numbed to it; A political climate so toxic and corrupt that two candidates who had higher negative than positive numbers emerged for the presidency; A level of divisiveness among groups in our nation so bad and so prevalent it actually makes me begin to wonder about conspiracy theories. I could go on, but then I start veering strongly toward the political. I hope 2017 is better. Any worse and we had better start watching for asteroids.

Happy Anniversary. Now, how many of them will it take to get you out of there?

I heard about this driving to work. I'm not sure if Mr. Martin is more easily bullied than I, or if he simply has more class. My next tweets would have been very pointed toward those critical of my comment.

That's a good start. I do try to keep in mind the positive aspects, and not complain.

~Sigh~ I enjoyed her in movies from Star Wars to The Blues Brothers, but yes, she will forever be Princess Leia in my heart. Rest in Peace. Can this year be over? Please?

We've had plenty of .22 LR at work, just not always the selection you might want. I was excited last week when we got in some .22 WMR.I hadn't seen any in months. I had an older gentleman pick up a Ruger LCR in .22 WMR for his wife, despite us not having any. I took the time to call him when it came in, and when he came in he brought me some venison summer sausage.

What do I have to do to move up?

Thank you, Sir. I did some online CLE (Continuing Legal Education) today, because I am behind on hours, then enjoyed time with family this evening. Finally observed the second day of Hanukkah with my daughter's boyfriend. Quite an eclectic group at our place. Thank you, so much. I promise I will. Nothing as of yet, but I'm not surprised. Hopefully soon after the new year, though.

I thought I would take the time to extend my wishes for everyone to have a joyful, pleasant and safe time on this day. My wishes for peace, happiness and good health.

Merry Christmas, Bob!

A Merry Christmas to you, and I will be keeping you in my thoughts and my meditations.

I've had moments of "gee, I wish I hadn't bought that" when I purchased a gun only to have a bill come up or something, but the ONLY gun I've regretted buying was my first Stoeger SxS, with a single trigger. Could not keep it from double firing. Sent to Stoeger. Came back. Doubled. Gunsmith still has it. Mean Gun Mark loaned me a double trigger version for a shoot, so I bought one. I do wish I had bought my Hi-Power in 9mm instead of jumping on the 40S&W bandwagon way back when, but I had to sell it when I needed some money a few years back.
