I told you I was in a bad mood yesterday.
It improved substantially when Prodigal Son, D-i-L, and Grandson came to visit and have dinner. Young Miles is fully mobile, fast, happy, loves the dogs and is beginning to experiment with understandable verbal constructs. Andy is finding that being in management isn't as bad as he thought, and Ashes is always fun to have around, her sunny disposition a useful tocsin to my dour self.
Then they went home and the day actually got worse, as yesterday evening a good friend of mine and fellow gun collector (who makes me look like a dilettante dabbler) succumbed to a long illness. Thank heaven we were able to get him out to the Castle for "Celebrating the Second on the Fourth" this year - it was about the last time he drove himself anywhere, much less got to do any shooting. Actually, when I think about it - he didn't do any shooting - but took great joy in watching us shoot, and shooting some of his favorite rifles and pistols. Beau was that kind of guy.
This holiday just blows. I'm ignoring it next year.
But - well, lets just get on to answering
the Whatziss.
