You have to work on Saturday?

One Saturday a month. And it's my first day working the front totally alone. Not really worried about that, but I'm tired. Had Mom in the ER til about midnight.

 

[Birds Away]

Oh, no. Is she okay?

 

[Birds Away]

A new pistol? Whatchagetting?

An old beater CZ 85B.

 

[Snapdragon]

Oh, no. Is she okay?

Yes, thanks. She fell a couple of days ago and landed on her knees (both are artificial joints). We iced them down at the time, but yesterday her calves and ankles started really swelling and turning red. We were afraid it was poor circulation related to the fall, but the doc seemed to think it was just normal edema. I agree, but it was good to get her checked out.

Poor thing, I hope she recovers quickly.

Raining here again.

Thanks. We've been lucky that most of her falls haven't been serious (except the one in December). I think she needs to start using a walker in the house, but she's stubborn. And there are two steps between the north end of the house and the south. I may need to try to find a way to build a ramp, but it would have to be a very gradual one, which would take up a lot of space.

My mom is approaching that stage. She is very independent and unwilling to adjust to what time does to us all. Not sure how that will work out.

Morning.

 

[Birds Away]

Morning KJ.

Morning KJ.

Did you get you a new project 85b? What do you have planned for it?

 

[Snapdragon]

Yep. She's not bad enough to go to a nursing home, but it's getting to the point where she's not good enough to be left by herself. I may have to explore the "in between" options sooner than later.

That is a tough time Snap. I've been there, all my best.

Total Cajun package, sniper gray cerakote with black controls, Truglo TFX sights.

It's a very tough position to be in.

I think I will go with these grips:

 

[Snapdragon]

I think I will go with these grips:

Those are nice. You going to get the black? What kind are those?

 

[KJQ6945]

I think I will go with these grips:

Very cool!
now, for the bottom line? Surplus gun, a trip through the Cajun catalog, then to AllenM, then to the Wizard?
