I'm a pretty "regular" sort of guy. The problem was transferring from a standing position to a sitting position from a walker. This thing turned into a life saver.

Or Valley Girl!

I have a SA XDm .45, a XDs .45, and a 9mm Hellcat. All came with a loading "device". I won't call it a speed loader because the process is not that fast. But it does make it possible to top off my magazines to full capacity. And that is almost impossible to do by hand alone with the extended...

Just a quick update on things. Yesterday was interesting. No easy way to tell the story, but I had to deal with my first post-surgery poop. In the end, everything came out ok. But learned a few lessons. Also was able to take my first post-surgery shower. With the help of the wife, everything...

The left lane is the hammer lane. If you're not a hammer, stay out of it! At least in Texas.

Not so sure I agree with the part about looking away from the attacker to de-escalate. If someone is attacking me like that, I will keep my eyes on them. Insurance will pay for the damage to my vehicle, but in that instance when the driver's side door window was completely shattered, I would...

I still have a pith helmet I was issued while on Barracks Duty in the Marine Corps while stationed on Guam. Worn for ceremonial purposes.

My Friday night shoes. 

Finally heading home from total knee replacement surgery. Yes, it hurts!

Flat on my back in a hospital bed. Had total/full knee replacement surgery on my left knee this morning. Still waiting on them to come get me up and try to walk on it. And then sometime this coming summer, I get to do it all over again on my right knee.

Noise or noose? Please turn in your official spell checker badge at the door! lol

I've had about 10 of those e-mails. They also include a picture of what is supposed to be my house. It's actually an old picture of my former neighborhood and the ex-neighbor's house. They also include an old land line phone number I had disconnected years ago. I have a picture of my bare...

Waiting for the dew on the lawn to dry up before I spend the next 4-5 hours on the zero-turn. And that doesn't include the time needed for weed eating. That will be for tomorrow.

I live in Texas and both the wife and I have a TX license to carry. TX statutes on self-defense don't mention anything about distance or range (that I know of). In fact, under certain circumstances, you are allowed to fire upon a fleeing felon.

Some new "Sunday go to preaching" shirts showed up in the mail today. These are the only two I can show on a family friendly forum! lol

South Texas is hot for 11 months out of the year. That 1 month is usually light jacket weather, with a few days of colder coat weather. When not a work (can't carry at work, a federal military installation) I'll always be in athletic shorts and a tee-shirt. Kinda hard to conceal, so for the last...

Don't get me wrong, but I do live out in the country, and we love it. But I only have a few acres. I don't really have a safe way to have a backstop on my property to have my own shooting range. A few of my neighbors do, but they have more property than me. People shoot around here all the time...

Just being lazy around the house. Yesterday was the last day of mandatory 7 day 10-hour workdays at work. I have my total knee replacement surgery next week, so basically, I'm off for the rest of the year. Good thing I have a ton of saved up sick leave. I was wanting to go to the range this...

No fan of unions here. About a year after 9/11, while I was still a commercial diver, I was on a big gas pipeline job going through Boston Harbor. It was all union work up there. Hardly any of the local union commercial divers from the NE had any oilfield experience. So half the crew were...

I work for the Department of the Army in facilities as a Carpenter/Maintenace mechanic on a military base. My 10-hour days are really 13 hours + because of my commute and having to get to work extra early to deal with the long lines getting on base in the mornings. Thousands of people work...
