Birthday Present


I obviously was good this year, so my wife let me get a new firearm.   When we went to Colorado Springs and the store ran the background check.  When I passed, he said I could buy 4 more guns.  My wife, in a moment of delusion, allowed me to purchase another one.


The top is a Ruger 9mm, and the bottom is a Remington 870, pump action 12 gauge.  The Ruger replaces my S&W .357 Magnum for close quarters, in house self defense.  



Here I am, practicing for the Golden Horde, without the use of proper defensive weapons.  See how I protect vital organs by laying on my stomach.  Hunter, on the left, trying to figure out the best way to make me yell in pain, and Hippie, on the right, just enjoying the time with her uncle and getting to hit something.

  3. Happy Birthday, brother. With those two critters working you over there in the photo, you must be afraid to go to sleep around there!

  4. I just dropped $527.00 on a scope. Now I can poke holes in critters and varmints and eat them!

  5. CC, I doubt I will be adding a scope to the shotgun, but my other guns have scopes. Now I just need them sighted in.

    Warlock and Stephen, thanks. I hope to turn 35 only once.

    kymber and Matt, I wish I had those kids around me all the time, but they were loaners. They are my niece and nephew from Wyoming. They love their Uncle Mudbug and use him as a jungle gym when he visits.

    And Matt, I am afraid of them. They like to wake me up by sneaking up to me and screaming until I get up. Followed by "you aren't leaving today, are you?" They are good about making me feel bad for going back home.
