Title: What cool gun stuff did you get for Father's Day?
Post by: charliefarmerboy33 on June 16, 2008, 08:55:41 AM
Just curious.
I got a set of Barami Hip-Grips for my J-Frame. So far I love 'em.

I didn't get anything special (a few snap caps) but the oldest got an M&P9 for her Birthday that we were SUPPOSED to pick up Sat (the paperwork was delayed and I can't get it until next week)

Great day for me. Did a brake job for the wife, oil change and replace a worn out belt. Isn't life grand :P  Both kids had to work.

No gun stuff, no rounds downrange (we had a tornado warning the night before, things a trifle torn up and soaked), so nothing interesting at all. Even had to treat myself and 3 others to a mediocre dinner at Timberland Lodge.

So I ordered a Samson front sight for the Sig 556, along with watching the Magpul website banners change every few seconds. They are cool.

I have so got to change my life . . .  ::)

Didn't get the roll over but did take over as Duty EMS Officer for the week.  Launched right into 5 calls within 20 minutes and only two duty crews. :o

I had a great Fathers day, I got the day off from work, Got to go to a CAS Shoot that I rarely get to go to anymore, My Wife told me to use her car to go (110 miles 1 way, Her car gets a lot better MPG's) and when I got back She had a steak dinner with Banana pudding for desert, It just don't get much better than that. ;D ;D

Thanks Haz, nothing like having a good friend around!   ;D

Trust me, I need to change my life, long story. I had one, a good one, things went south at one point. It is oddly enough completely within my control, and I will be changing things this summer. Had to wait for directions from the One who is in control of my life, as it was His idea in the first place.

Long story . . . .   ::)

Set up at our outdoor range, just in time for a 2 hour T-storm delay, cleared up, and had a great afternoon with the wife's total endorsement. That was "cool". Called my Father, he's sending me his Colt Gov. .380, its been stored so long its "gummy" as he called it. I'll work that out, he's owned it for 20 years and its still not had 200 rounds through it. 8)

The other cool stuff was hitting our metal plate targets at 55 yards with my S&W 1911. Something about that sound!

Had a great dinner of Baby-Back Ribs with Bone Suckin Sauce(the best), and a couple adult beverages with the better half.

Kinda quiet, some may say kinda sad, but a good day, glad to be here.

My condolences and prayers go out to the family of Tim Russert, I have his book "Wisdom of our Fathers", and his other "Big Russ", a decent man, family man, and a man dedicated to his career. Regardless of political leanings, those are honorable traits to be admired by anyone.
