[There you have it, GOPJ.]

I was almost a little bit slower than usual.

Tongue-in-cheekness was the only way I could make sense of it. Glad that's what it was.

I was ready for a nap. Really. We had made a very, very early run to the airport along with two fruitless trips to oh-my-gawd Walmart.

Our son returned to Minot AFB after attending a two-week school out at Lackland AFB.  His Grandfather passed along his lever action Winchester 30-30 to him.  To take it on the flight with him, he needed a solid carrying case with a locking feature.  Walmart had one case in stock but they couldn't find the key!

So, because I can't ship it to a residential address, I've got custody of the rifle till he comes back for a visit or one of his buddies comes down for the same or similar school.

Now, you could have some really good fun satirizing that head-butting provision of the National Firearms Act.  :-)

Sounds like a wonderful day helping a very loved son. You earned the nap!

The grandaughter's been with us since Friday and she's brought two friends -- lot's of giggling, video games, snacking etc. Nap? Sounds good...
