Just this...

New Facebook page!

I have created a FB page to promote awarenes of Big Retail's encroachment on our holidays. It's getting quite a few Likes already! See it here:

Who knows how far it will go, but if it takes off, I'm gonna try to keep it going year-round to also help persuade people to quit buying shit they don't need.

I also want to email the managers responsible for deciding to open their doors on Thanksgiving. Just awful.

Slow weekend

Not much to report from the weekend. Getting ugly outside. (BTW, the new jacket has arrived, woooo!)

Played Caryn's Saturday tourney. $150 deepstack with $50 bounty. Great structure. Played well but chased a few hands down the stretch that didn't pan out. Later doubled up with QQ, then busted when my KK lost to Nicole's pocket 10's. Aww well. I wanted the call and just got unlucky. I like the big $$ bounty though.

No Browns game this weekend. Barely left the house actually. I did buy an 18.5" barrel for my 12ga, should be here in a few days.

Here's a pic of me and the Pup from a camping trip this fall.

Gun range with mom

Mom did well with the P22. The head shot group in the pic is mine. I had some trouble with the Sig, every 2nd to last shot failed to load. I'm thinking it's the magazine. Gonna try to add some tension to the existing spring before plunking down $40 for a new mag. Gonna give it a real good cleaning as well. Might need to polish the feed ramp too. Raegen went with us too, she shot well also. I forgot to get video/pics.

The laser on the Sig was a bit off, and I was quite a bit more accurate with the Walther. Need to shoot it some more to really check it out.

Mom's in much better shape after her back surgery.

Firearms shuffle

Trying to sell the PT111 that I loaned my mom so that I can give her something with a light on it so she can see if something goes bump in the night. I ended up buy a used Sig Mosquito with a laser, which I have yet to shoot, but it seems like a nice little .22 plinker. I put a light on my Walther PK22 and will loan that to mom. It holds like 11 rounds, is easy to handle, won't deafen you, and should do the job if really needed. I ordered some CCI mini mags to go into it.

So, I have yet to sell the PT111, and I'm now thinking about trading it to TK for his S&W Bodyguard .380 with laser. Caprice wants something with a laser and it might be decent for carrying. Definitely thinner than the little PT22 I have for her now, although it only holds 7 rds. We'll see. I'll do some more homework on the S&W.

I've also added a pistol grip to my 12ga, and will add a shorter 18.5" barrel when I can. Toss in a sling, ammo clip, and maybe a cheap light and I'll have a nice little zombie slayer/hunting combo gun. I've hunted with it (like 25 years ago) and it's really accurate.

So, winter is coming and I've been thinking about getting a new coat. I really miss the old  L.L. Bean parka I had many years back, so I looked it up and they still sell it, but it's $200! So I dug around the site and found one on clearance for $129. Only thing is that it's almost identical to my old one. They only had the 1 color left in dark navy/black. Screw it, I loved that jacket! Can't wait for it to get here. My old one needed an additional hoodie and was heavy as shit, so this will be a sweet change of pace.

Check out the awesome pumpkin I carved this year!
