“He vas my boyfriend!” Unforgettable. Thank you, Ma’’am, for perfection.

It can’t be a lacewing, no wings. Lacebody?

Missus and I got the first dose of Pfizer this morning at a community clinic. One of her book club friends heard the clinic had vaccine, shared an email link to make an appointment and a printable consent form. I’m glad we got vaccinated. I feel a bit unsure that word of mouth is the “right” way for folks to get vaccinated. Particularly in light of the fact that many of us old timers struggle with computer skills. I’m kinda embarrassed about the way Missouri has managed vaccine distribution. But when you leave public health decisions to politicians it shouldn’t

I’m in: A S&W Model 37 and two Model 60s:

A cigarette makes a great time-delay fuse for a firecracker or M-80. Put the fuse through the tobacco at 90 degrees to the length of the cigarette just ahead of the filter. Light the cigarette and you have about 5 minutes to get somewhere else. I used it to wake up troublemakers in my dorm, taping the “bomb” to their door. I was with witnesses in a dorm lounge when they went off. I was one of the dorm Resident Advisors so I was never suspected. I have come to hate practical jokes, regretting my youthful indiscretions.

Gun rack above my reloading desk:

I agree that he is a mule deer, based on the way his antlers “Y” off the main beam. But his classification is irrelevant; he is a magnificent animal, a breath taking resident of the Lazy Bob Ranch. May he and Bob and Carol enjoy looking at each other for many years to come.

My wife gave me a copy of “The Standard Catalog Of Smith & Wesson 4th edition”. by Jim Supica and Richard Nahas. This one: It is fun to read. On page 7, there is this statement:

I wear some kind of sport coat almost daily year around. Most of the time I have a S&W Model 60 .38 Special in an Uncle Mike’s pocket holster in my coat pocket. It fits in my pants pocket if I don’t wear a coat. Sometimes my backup is under the coat on my hip: a CZ 2075 RAMI 9mm in a DeSantis holster. 14 in the magazine plus one in the chamber. You can see they are about the same size. The CZ has never malfunctioned with anything I feed it. If you want a semiautomatic, look at CZ.

Yep, nitrates make great fertilizer!!

Diversity reduces risk. Some stocks, some bonds, some utilities, some money market holdings. Consult a local advisor and make your choices. My wife and I are not changing our investment strategy Good luck.

Our youngest granddaughter Sophie is a sophomore in high school, a self taught artist and member of the swim team. This is her latest still life, charcoal. She astounds me. I think the reason I exist was to bring my grandchildren into the world. They humble me.

Not like I tried to!!

A fitting mascot for the Lazy Bob ranch. May he propagate those genes widely. Frame his portrait over your fireplace and salute him daily with the beverage of choice. You are a lucky cowboy, Bob, and that magnificent buck is lucky to have your sanctuary.
