    Picked up a 1988 Colt Combat Commander that had been modified at some point in it's life. I've always been a sucker for the old two-tone look when it became really popular in the early 80s. No idea who worked it over but it's a hell of a shooter. I changed the rear sight to a Harrison Design retro rear (it had an old school MMC fixed prior), had some crappy plastic grips so I found the black wood factory set on Ebay, had a proper trigger swapped in from the ugliest damn flat thing I've ever seen, put in a Wilson's checkered mainspring housing and I swapped the original bushing for one from Nowlin that has a littel bit of a tighter lockup. I want to put a proper beavertail on it but the frame, eletroless nickel finish, was cut to .200 instead of the standard .250 for all the other bt safeties. Very easy to carry and I'm just having a ton of fun on the range with it. Have a proper holster on the way from Palmetto Leatherworks.

And having more than one Asus router on the same subnet caused other issues.

    Going to have fun and play with hardware a bit...something tells me it will be as much fun or less than getting that wifi access point running.

    Finding bugs in their software just makes stuff extra special. I get extra special fun when my VM wants to help me out providing some dhcp wireless help.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...

    Huge thanks to eddiememphis for the referral, guys are doing a fantastic job.

    Wish I could have gotten the paint and drywall touchup done before they started, but it is what it is. Emptying the 2nd floor of a house lived in for 28 years is a bitch.

    Yes,
    I have their larger version in the basement - but I wanted to keep a set near the 3D printer area. Also I needed a few pry tools for some one on my laptop for a memory / drive upgrade.

    Mrs bo finally got her upgrade.

    I have always disliked operating for ag purposes but this new one is almost pleasant.

    And still mindlessly boring.
