Career Day at WKE

This is a pre-post. John will be going to Career Vehicle Day and Career Day at WKE this week. Stay tuned for an exciting update from John.
I remember my dad used to come to all of my Career Days when I was in elementary school, he was a fireman and drove a fire truck and when you are 5 years old, you think your dad is AWESOME! The whole school thought he was awesome too so that made me COOL. He was a paid fireman in my home town and my mom started up the Ladies Auxillary I remember riding in the fire truck during the parade and getting to sit near Santa. I remember my dad would take me to work with him when I was sick and couldn't go to school, and I would sleep in the cab of the fire truck. How cool is that?

Sorry to those of you that had to listen to Peaches get sick in the middle of sacrament. Quite embarrassing for us. I think we stayed all of 20 minutes. I also had to borrow the trashcan from Nursery if anyone even noticed that it was missing. I didn't technically steal Church property, I just borrowed and will return next week. Peaches just woke up and seems to be somewhat better now. I guess it is just a stomach bug that is going around. Good thing school is out tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's day!

How did you tell your sweetie that you loved her/him? We've been looking to upgrade Laura's defensive capabilities for a while now, and being the romantic guy I am, I figured what better way to tell my wife how much I love her then with firepower? I also snaked some sweethearts from Peaches while I was at it.

Technical details: 5 shot, .38 special, 2 inch barrel, hammerless (obviously), less than $400. It's a Taurus M85. They had a couple in .357 mag, but Laura didn't like the humpback from the concealed hammer on them. They had a couple of matte stainless, but she liked the black better (that's why I love her!). For one particular reader, they did have a couple of guns with....uggggh...pink grips. You can thank me later. I take cash and/or ammo as payment.

We chose the revolver after a couple of failed attempts at loading Glock magazines, working the slide on a Glock, and a cut thumb after aforementioned slide mishap. This is much lighter than my .40, but the trigger pull is way heavier. You can't beat a revolver for reliability. If at first you don't get a bang, pull the trigger again. They're low maintenence, easy to point and fairly low recoil. Especially since she's not shooting magnum rounds out of it. I'll be taking it to work to put some rounds through it to break it in a bit, and find out how it shoots.

Next on the to-do list: a holster of some kind, and the CWP class. And some good hollowpoint rounds. And maybe a laser grip add-on. And a commander-frame .45 for me. And an M-4 varient.

Grobanite

For those of you that don't already know, I am a Grobanite. I've seen him in concert and UP CLOSE! He is not only amazingly talented, he is gorgeous and funny. Yes, I am in love with Josh.
