Too few really do that anymore and it's annoying to have that screeching intrude on your precious time. I'd give you a story about the old days, but I'm sure you know the drill.

Now that the post position draws were made, I can try to whittle down my choices for the Kentucky Derby next Saturday. We'll probably go to a Celebration of Life thing same day an hour and a half away, so I may need to stop in to an alternative OTB location to place a bet. Shooting today, yea!

I went from a Windows 10 tower to the Windows 11 Pro mini pc. I copied bookmarks and passwords after installing browsers. I installed an anti virus program and ensured it was clean. I don't want to use Cloud storage, so this should be good for our needs. I'll probably go back and copy...

My new mini pc came yesterday and I've been busy setting it up. It's half the size of my router. 32 Gb Ram and 1 Tb ssd. I didn't want to copy everything over so I may experience some pain here and there. Ammo and guns ready for tomorrow.

Watching Deadwood from Episode 1. I love Westerns if you didn't know.

I have a new computer coming Friday, the monitor arrived yesterday. I cringe when I have to change things like that. Going to lunch today for taco salad and beer. Tomorrow is my 43rd anniversary, maybe Mexican for dinner. I contacted the CC bank and they said it would be 60-90 days to restore...

Had to run to pick up my Garrison 9 and my 2 pair of glasses. Amazing how sharp things look. Had an issue trying to get the magazine out, coulda used a claw hammer. It finally came out and then dropped like normal after pushing the release. Looks great in stainless. Match tomorrow with several...

It depends. Our Wild Bunch 1911's get cleaned after every match, same with our Lightning pump rifles. Cowboy guns get cleaned maybe 3-4 times a year. The wife's 1897 gets cleaned when it gets crunchy or a few times a year. Semi-autos are generally cleaned after every range session and new guns...

My safe is labeled Winchester and has the combo lock on it. It cost under $600 and was drop shipped to my driveway. It's supposedly a 24 gun safe that suits me just fine. I no longer recall which big box store I got it from. Unless I win the lottery, I'm in my last home, so it's bolted to the floor.

My Garrison 9mm is in and 1 of 2 pairs of glasses. Hopefully my other pair will come in before stopping in on Sunday.

Researching computers until it's time to go set steel for Saturday.

Of the two, I prefer a single stack with no optic cut or rail. It's been going for over 100 years so something must be right with it. Every year it seems another company adds them to their lineup. If I want a double stack, I'll choose a HP or CZ 75. YMMV

We caught a big one in a creek using a 2 inch stick. Pulled him out when he grabbed it. He tasted pretty good, but I couldn't tell you if it tasted like chicken or beef. It was more than 50 years ago.

My gun cart folded like a pretzel yesterday at the match. Two plastic parts broke so I'm replacing them with a wooden brace making it non-folding. My miscellaneous buckets of hardware found 3 bolts, so I need to run to the hardware store. At least it waited until the last stage to implode.

The wife made some awesome potato salad the other day. Turns out it's not so great the next day when you're indoors.
