And with that, half of the year is gone in such a quick way that I wonder where it has gone.
I find that no matter how much time I allocate for this or that something else comes up that has to be done. With that I think I may actually have to plan things out in a more articulate manner. Things that have kept me busy?
Gardens. It seems that recovering a garden from a full tilt weed plot last year has left it with a large amount of weeding to be done this year, even with copious amounts of tilling and working. The fact we have had well below normal weather temps and massive amounts of rain further hampers efforts to get out there and keep up with it. Couple that with a bad back that prevents me from doing hours of labor when we actually are not getting inches of rain a minute, well it is what it is. Looking at the massive surge in food prices due to inflation and other related matters (Fuel costs though the roof and anything oil related) I've decided that it would be prudent to have a somewhat self sufficient supply of food. That food, takes a lot of work to put to harvest.
And things show no signs of improving. After all in response to the fuel cost crisis, Obummer gave us thirty million gallons of oil from our strategic oil reserve. (Note you asshat in the White House, Strategic oil reserve is for war emergencies, not your own personal election emergency) And we have the tax cheat Timmy Geithner saying we need to tax small busineses more to grow govrenment.. (So, Tax cheat in charge of the treasury department giving tax advice.. what could go wrong here. Covered more at PawPaw'sHouse in better ways than I can)... I just think being more self sufficient could be of use.
Shooting.. Goodness It has been a while, and I need to do a update on a CrimsonTrace grip I got for my Sig P229! More on that to follow! I just need to get out more. Period.
The CCW being passed in Wisconsin is huge. And it does inspite of my previous post seem to be a very good one. I just do not hold my breath for law enforcement to not nitpick their way though things. I also feel that for any state having law enforcement lists of who carries and who does not to be a bad thing. I think that anyone that makes a traffic stop that does not think the person could be armed to be a fool. To read that this individual has a permit on their screen only increases the chances for both bad behavior on the account of the police officer, or to just plain get shot by the police.
However recent medical issues with me have forced me to look at the aspect of purchasing a new CCW pistol. For me it never was the weight of a pistol that bothered me, till recently. I find that a 1911 or a Sig P229 to be a lot to carry on the belt concealed. Open carry it is not so bad. I'm not sure why this is. The other aspect I have issues with is ..Well I'm a small framed Male. I weigh 145ish on the top end of my average. It is just plain tough to conceal something that is out of the way, but easily assessable if I need it, all the while finding the proper combination of weapon and holster that does not print if I bend over, crouch or twist, or raise my arms above my head.
While I do have a Glock 27, I find that I have difficulty shooting it. It does shoot well. I just do not seem to do well with it, and it is a thick firearm. I have a Colt Detective Special as well, but it too, is a thicker firearm for where I am likely to carry or position it. That and the bluing seems rather unusually suceptable to rust.
I've been fiddling around with my XD First generation in a holster. It is.. well used and abused for a firearm but is reliable as can be. It however is a bit large and I may have to consider alternate carry positions from where I do.
Other things have been related to school and other hobbies, and of course raising my children.
That bit aside, I'll be in the market for a new CCW pistol it seems. And this one I think will perhaps be the best of everything, on this go around.
