Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
I'm thrilled with the battery release lever, which is pretty reasonably priced (and is now OEM on some new production Eotechs. The lens caps aren't watertight, but are a lot better than having naked optics.
And while I was at it, I figured I'd go with their throw-lever mount, too.
Eotech should get a clue, and provide all of this as OEM on their products. It's still the Rolls Royce of electronic sights, but this would be like getting dubs on it right from the factory.
Whatta good hubby! ;o) Hope she feels better soon. Maybe before she goes off again to one of those conferences she needs to take some Airborne !
Vey pretty! The lack of orange will allow its use as an accessory to a range of different colors.
Pretty color, but that’s a strange pattern. ;o)
Driveway cleared....what a wet sloppy mess!
As a civy no longer a LEO or Active Duty Military etc I carry more than I shoot and thus the finish and factory “melt” of a glock is more comfortable . All here will take their morning shower and leave for the day yet will not consider the acidity of ones sweat or the contact with ones skin and sharp edges of levers, buttons and widgets on a carry gun, They will also not consider the wear and tear on clothing like shirts or upholstery in the vehicle or dwellings. A nice sharp rear sight will cut everything in sight...... trust me on that !! Only mod on my glock 31C is novak low mount H3’s with green bar dots from PT night Sights in Ft Worth.
Also I like the higher capacity , the penetration of the Texas DPS 357SIG Speer GDHP’s in vehicle bodies and performance in after action reports involving the caliber and specific commercial load.
The C versions used to be a problem due flash in firing at night or low light. No longer the problem with properly tested loads. The Speer DPS load does not have such a flash problem.
The combination I carry works for me , a few thousand rounds thru it on the range and in competition and a shoot house now and then and I like the KISS principal that the Combat Tupperware seems to thrive in. I carry cavalry / mex style without a holster, chamber empty, magazine full, with a spare mag in a IWB Bianchi single mag pouch w/ plus 2 bases on each magazine. I will advise all test the plus 2 bases and consider adding a thin bead of super glue that can be razor cut later for repair or spring replacement if ever needed.
My CHL/CW rig is easy to don and doff if I am forced to enter a federal building or hospital where such isn’t allowed or a secure area where not allowed.
I drive a vehicle that has a center console that has a after market secure storage vault that I got from genos garage. I have no issues leaving my firearm in that locked alarmed vehicle in that thick steel security box inside the bottom part of that locked console.
Only stored there if I’m forced to enter a area where CHL is not allowed.
Yep, it surely is. We’re going to clean off the cars later, hopefully, most of it will have slid off. LSA
We had our snow last week. It looks like we’re getting rain for the next couple of days, but at least it will be above freezing during the day every day next week! SirKit and Joseph are replacing the old storm door with a nice new Anderson door. It will make it much warmer in the foyer!
After:
Light's still not the best.
Damn .........more $$$$ well spent enroute......:o)
Speaking of good hubbies.
Some time in the night Steve got up and laid down in the living room. Very early this morning, someone was banging hard on our front door. I listened because I knew Steve was just a few feet away and would get it. I heard him say something...then nothing. So about 5 minutes later, i got up and walked down the hall. Steve was sound asleep on the loveseat. I woke him up and asked “Who was banging on the door?” He said “Was someone banging on the door? I thought that was you looking at the calendar and banging on the wall in the hallway.” (That’s where it happens to be hanging.)
I stood there for several seconds trying to wrap my thoughts around that. Finally, I said “Steve...I don’t normally get up at the crack of dawn and bang on the hallway wall. If I was standing in the hallway looking at the calendar and banging on the wall very early in the morning, don’t you think that might be an odd thing for me to be doing? Don’t you think you shoulda got up and checked on me?”
I like that color!
*snort*
So, who was at the door?
Heh. Maybe I should listen to the Scottish guy’s in-car radio: “Cap’n. She cannae go any faster!”
only know 1 feller that reloads .357SIG, and he says itsuh b!t(#...
you heard any diiferent?
