    A snapshot of my random purchases the last few months. Couple of 1911?s, couple of Glocks, Rotella for the motorcycle oil change, new MPS optic, and a pet prey mantis - Iris.

    NIB Springfield TRP Full Rail Operator


    NIB 2013 Sig Scorpion Traditional


    Glock 45 with a 509t, Modlite PL350, Ramjet + afterburner, and slide/frame work.


    Glock 43x, TLR7, 507kgr, Johnny Glock trigger





    Steiner MPS - Not sure what I?m going to put this on yet.


    Ghost Mantis - First pic is her size now (L4). Second pic is what she will roughly look like once full grown.

    I'm liking that Mantis, amazing insects with a face straight out of a nightmare. Some of those can get pretty big.

    3 Honeycrisp Apple trees and 600' of fencing/posts. Gotta keep goats, chickens, deer, possum and armadillos outta the garden and away from the little apple trees. Goats love to eat tree leaves.

    She’s got two flies in her hands in this pic. She was hungry.

    Whatever you do, DO NOT search ‘Mantis nematode’.

    I suspect this is some sort of reverse psychology and you actually do want us to google it.

    recently bought the Sig 365XL. That'll teach my wife not to take me along when looking for a new pistola. Yeah she got hers, but when she sent me to pick it up, I bought one for myself.

    And then yesterday I walked into the local Big R and what do I see. Primers. Yeah they were spendy but I don't remember the last time that I was able to buy pistola and small rifle primers at the same time. I was shocked to see them on the shelf and then shocked at the price, but what's a credit card for.

    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    How much were the primers? Do they still have a buy limit on them?
