What are you doing right now??

Just got back from a Costco run and other stops. Traffic was terrible and on the way home multiple accidents on the freeway and a brush fire.
But at my last stop, I saw a used Kimber 1911 lightweight in 9mm. Price said $670. Asked how many mags....1. Asked what his best price right now was. $450. I said sold. It looks brand new, no marks or wear (without breaking it down). I'll post pictures later.

Nice pick.

I woulda been all over that.

Went to the usual Wednesday lunch with the posse today.

I was planning on delivery of materials for cabinets I am building for my daughter's new house. It turns out they are completely out of 8'x4' sheets of 3/4 inch Baltic Birch plywood. They do have 5'x5' sheets so I think I have a workaround but a delay.

I'll spend the next couple days putting the shop in order and various tasks that never get done when I am focused on a project. In another week we will be covered up with company and the Big Gren Egg will stay hot. I love this time of year.

Just got home from work. Having some iced tea. I decided no more overtime for me until after the new year. Kinda nice.

Good for you, man.

I’m kinda psyched that I’m not working Xmas for the first time in 4 or five years.

Work new years, though, but I’ve never been one for party on on amateur night, and picking up someone’s shift for double time & a half is nothing but fun money in the pocket.

Around my work this time of year is like romper room. Not much of anything going on. A lot of people pick vacation this time of year. To me it's free money. Almost. I am off Friday for a doctor appointment and the 30th for my wife's birthday, other than that I'm at work. We get Christmas eve and Christmas day and New Years Day off.

I haven't left the house or been up at midnight on NYE in a decade or more.

The only time I’ve been up at midnight on NYE for close to 20 years is because I was at work…

That was a good price! Good luck with it

Got all the chores done. The husky and I walked about 5 miles today, she was happy. Don't mind the walks and it's good for me. What a happy go lucky dog and i'm lucky to have her.

I spent 7 years of my LE career on Midnight Watch. The job I enjoyed most was Watch Commander, and New Year's Eve was always like going to the circus, the greatest show on earth. I used to say, I can't believe they pay us to do this.

When in the Air Force I usually worked Christmas and New Years. Figured the younger guys with families would appreciate it. Normally I was the the Mids NCOIC.

I have no idea of the model, but the fish scale grips may have replaced originals. It's a lightweight full size 9mm model with fiber optic front sight. It's marked Stainless LW. I've not owned a Kimber, but for $450 it could be good. I'm gonna look for some reviews and see what I find. I'm gonna need some mags so suggestions would be appreciated. No bumper pads, just reliable for not much money. I've had good luck with .45, but never had a 9.
