The Czickness LII….it is the grey time of year. Tungsten Grey that is…

Got the shot this morning, talked my wife into letting me stop by Marksman on the way back. Saw a few things, including an interesting Range Officer Compact in 9mm, but think I'm going to wait for a Commander Garrison 4.25" as it seems the RO Compact is a bit of a unique sized frame (not govt size).

Was able to walk a little better this afternoon and headed to Costco to pick up a few things including $199 of a new router because mine decided to take a dump last evening and reset itself to factory default.

I reconfigured my old one last night and today and every time I'd reboot it, it lost its config again , so I'm guessing the flash storage on it that retains the config took a dump or is corrupted. I've seen other reports of folks with the same router say similar after 4 years or so old. Hated to spend the money because the previous router was still fast and gave great coverage in the house.

So got a new one and set it up to look like the old one. Seems to be working.

That's a good price for that RO Compact, 4 inch barrel with officers grip, would make a nice custom base gun.

I thought it might be. Didn't know a ton about it at the time, but kind of thinking I'd like a steel frame commander. That said, I do like the bull barrel on the RO compact. If I didn't have a lot already going out this month on some house stuff and some unexpected travel I recently did I might have jumped.

Wish me luck. Tearing apart the 1911 ds because I’ve never taken one apart before. Seems a little easier than my normal Cz

They are pretty well stocked currently, lots of nice toys.

I really wish I was closer to them. With them doing so much with used guns, you just never know what they will have in at any given time. I do like checking their website as well. Would be bad on my wallet to be close though as if you see it and really want it you pretty much have to jump.

Tell me about it, my bank, grocery store, and the tavern we visit now and again all right there so am by there several times a week. Willpower, must be strong like bull!

I ran down to HHRP last night to run a P229 and P226. I carry the P229 in .357 Sig a lot so I pulled that one from the holster and dropped the .40 barrel back in for some practice. I sure am enjoying this warm spell while we have it.

Oh, and another camera was delivered today. This one was all of $12 and is more half a camera than a whole one. The parts that are missing are not needed for me but the parts that are there will give me spares for the 3 magnets, A/T Flex circuit and some other bits. Best part is that the top cover is like new. I'll be able to use that to bring back a really beat up camera to make it presentable again.

It really is the journey, isn't it

No FNS for me tonight. Shame due to the good weather, but didn't want to push too hard right now. I had to be in north FL last week for some bad circumstances, but getting a reprieve from the weather last week and having great weather this week here has been nice.

Just curious, you ebaying/selling some of these after fixing or stockpiling them?

Thank you 88. I wrote myself a note to take a look for that book. I apologize that I don't have the energy this morning for a longer reply.

Another book that you might find useful is 'The 12 Week Year'. It's a technique that breaks goals into 12 week segments and focuses on ways to define goals and get them done reliably. Approaching this decision with that technique might be a way to see if a new direction is the route to take without going too far off the current track.

Right now, giving them away to friends that are interested in film photography. I've passed several along and there are some folks that never thought of film now really getting interested in it. Roberts Camera in Indy has some rough used equipment that might be a bit beat up, but is workable. I will put a camera back into service mated with a $10 lens from the bin at Roberts to give someone a start. It's becoming quite fun. I do have a bit of a stockpile of cameras though. I'm up to 8 Canon A-1s with two of those being used for parts, one on the bench right now and the rest getting used regularly.

If you can't get it back together T-DOGG will help you.

If I was still in the 'buying' mode, I'd own this ! PSA has lowered their price to $1300 . I wonder if the folding stock is unobtanium ?
