Random observations from your day

[Semicolon]

There was a wheelchair mix-up at the airport, just now. An elderly nun needed one but got two.

Did you take the other one?

Too many nuts out driving today.  One was a guy on the motorcycle must have been doing over 100 mph, I was going about 70 and he zipped by quickly, others weaving in and out of traffic like they were racing

I forgot what I was going to post.

No, I don't need one just yet.

Daughter's boyfriend seems to have spent the night here.

Offer him breakfast, and after he agrees, feed him pickled herring.

Yummy!!!   I really dislike salted herring, but pickled herring is nice.

I passed a broken down car that was on the other side of the highway two of the passengers where looking under the hood the third was walking about on the side of the highway strumming an electric guitar and appeared to be signing

My son still can not hit the target consistently, but today, he put two pellets directly on top of each other in three different places.

That means three "perfect misses" which were each repeated.

This was from fifteen feet away, but stacking misses, means that what ever he is doing is at least becoming consistent.

Airgun I assume? how old is your son?

[DirtDawg]

Yes and he pumps it (evil father has found a way to have him build muscle in his upper body) up himself.

My son is now fifteen and has only JUST taken an interest in my massive collection of weaponry. I bought this pump pistol (beauty - Crosman pump air pistol - 600 FPS, .177 caliber) to aid his interest. His gaming has created a real world interest.
I have set up a decent back stop and we also have a pump Sheridan .22  caliber carbine (that airgun is actually forty four years old - bought it when I was a teen and it still works flawlessly! I have always maintained all my weapons).  Yes, lots of exercise pumping that one as well.

As we move forward, he will have access to larger more advanced .22LR caliber pistols (I own six, various configurations, including Magnums), 9mm (I own three), .38/357 (I own eight, including six various Magnums), .44 Magnum caliber (I own sixteen, various double action, single action, single shot, long and short barrels, one is a carbine by Browning), .45 (I own three, Model 1911, plus one custom made target weapon from Thompsom, two Ruger single action plus a Glock, different type of .45) and also some rifles in .22 (I own twelve, Marlin, Ruger, Winchester, Remington, etc.).

Once we get into centerfire long weapons, I can introduce him to Ruger mini-14s (I own three), Remington .223 (just the one), AR-15 (one) Winchester .243 (one), .308 or NATO 7.62 (I own seven, one is a Weatherby),  30.06 (I own two, one is Weatherby), .300 Magnum (I own two, both are Weatherby) and one incredible  .375 Weatherby Magnum (this one will definitely throw him on his ass, if he tries to shoot it now. He is still learning to shoot!)

Somewhere between the .243 and the .308, I will introduce him to a 20 gauge shotgun (I own two - both Remington one pump, one auto) and then 12 gauge shotgun (I own six -  three auto, one pump, two double barrel) and eventually a 4 gauge (I own one double barrel, but that thing scares even me and I have shot a lot!   - it will be a while before he is ready for that monster).

We are just getting started and I have only peaked hie interest. For about three months, I have allowed him to handle (disassemble, clean, re-assemble, dry fire, etc.) some of the more interesting weapons. His interest is in large handguns (testosterone?).

I am well on the way to teaching him to be safe and handle a weapon confidently.

As if I did not already have a reason to live ...

About eighteen years ago, while my mother-in-law was still alive, she made me a Halloween costume. Like in your picture, she made me a Mr. Peanut outfit, FFS.
That was the last time I dressed for Halloween.

It was fucking awesome and I felt like TeH KING SHIT!!!!

LOL!!

TBH, Everything is allergic to me.
Even mosquitoes do not bite me. When they try, I see them abandon the effort almost instantly and fly away, spitting.

(kidding about the spitting, obviously, but seriously, they NEVER bite me) ... and bees and wasps generally keep their distance. Spiders seem to want something from me though. (I do not abide spiders, however, except to photograph them and document what their various lifestyles are like ... a hobby, mind you. I HATE them! I LOVE them!).

I am even impervious to poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac and mesquite thorns. Not sure why, but I'll take it.

... but even metals. No matter what I touch, steel, silver, copper, nickel (not really gold - I wear a gold wedding ring. No troubles, although it is considerably smaller than when we bought them. Maybe I just eat gold and do not know it.) if I do not wipe the surfaces down, it is likely to become oxidized within hours. 
Such is Life as Teh Dawg and such.

If my Awesome Fucking MR. PEANUT Costume killed someone or even sent them into anaphylactic shock, then I would have loved to have documented this for future reference.
