FIRST

Good evening Pro ((HUGS))
Hope all is well with you and yours.
We bought a new pew-pew today.
Wish we had more money to buy more before the 1 July deadline.

SECOND

Good evening night owl ((HUGS))
Thanks for the ping-a-ling.
Are you back home and recuperated from your travels?

~ Welcome To My World ~

I’m Down There Somewhere

[luvie]

Howdy, beachy! I think I might be fully recuperated in about another week. These 7-hour drives really take the sap outta me.

Did you say there was a July 1st deadline for buying your newest pewpew? What th’ heck??

Hope you have a great weekend...and find some firing time during it. :)

[luvie]

Hi there, Janey! Good to see you. Pretty busy during this vacation season? What’s the favorite destination this summer?

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[SkyDancer]

Hai! Ya, it’s a zoo out there LOL :D Mostly it’s to SF, LA and Reno ... Vegas seems out ...

[radu]

Howdy, beachie! *Hugz*

Hope you’ve had a great week!

[PROCON]

Ooh kewl, buying a new #PewPew is always a daily highlight!

I see quite a few VA county attorneys are saying they will refuse to enforce the unconstitutional gun laws about to go in effect on July 1st, very encouraging.

Me, I'm doing fine, had lunch with son-boy today (Wendy's) and now kicking back enjoying the late afternoon sun.

[beachn4fun]

Yup, those long drives can make you tired.

Yes! I don’t know all of the new laws, but high-capacity mags will be outlawed. Also, they are narrowing where you can concealed carry in Virginia. Probably like restaurants and doctor offices, I’m guessing. Some other laws related to guns (aka gun control). Waiting to hear from Constitutional lawyers and the NRA.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Still roasting or have your temps backed off a little?
Still enjoying nice weather here, though it was a touch warmer today.

THIRD

Good evening Canteen Vampire ((HUGS))
All is well so far.
Did you get more mowing done?

[luvie]

I have been reading that Vegas has shot themselves in the foot with all the anti-tourist things they’ve been doing.

Is Skid Row on the itinerary for LA and SF? They even have live cams for Skid Row in LA on YouTube. A very in-depth study of the depravity of the human species. I watch it....it’s rather fascinating. LOL!

[beachn4fun]

It’ll be interesting to see what happens. The sales person at the pew-pew store was saying that many of the big pew-pews would have to be put in storage since they won’t be able to sell them. Keeping my eye on the news.

[luvie]

That is insane. I am so sorry that such a former free state has become just another commie inclave. I wish the VA people would rise up and impeach that horrible and stupid governor there!

Support our troops AND for all, support our Freepathon. Only 37% and only a few weeks to reach the goal.
