Did you do anything gun related on this Valentines Day?

Hi...
Not much gun related today.
My son and I went on a gun shop tour.
Bought 5000 primers.
Wife is using the indoor electric grill to grill ribeyes for dinner.

Wait, today is Valentine s day?

Just kidding. The wife and I don't celebrate Valentine's day. I asked her if I should love her more today, than any other day? She thought about it for 5 seconds, and said, that is dumb isn't it?

"So as Hookeye posted, make good decisions in choosing your girlfriend/wife. Your decision could result in decades of happy shooting memories or decades of sad regretful memories"

I belive I did OK in that department. Yesterday was our sixty-first wedding anniversary. Arthritis has really messed up my wife's hands. She seldom shoots with me any more but she does go to the range with me fairly regularly. She's really good at spotting 380 brass that runs off and hides from me.

We are waiting in the lobby of Texas Roadhouse. 1 1/2 hour wait so we walked over to Academy Sports where I brought 6 pair of heavyweight socks (comfortable feet count when shooting) and a small bottle of Hoppe’s CLP to toss in the range bag.

Yes, my son just came in and surprised my wife and I on our February birthdays...all the way from CA to PA!!! Oh, the guns..........he's training for a triathlon and his arms are HUGE!

Ummm, I went to work, but wished I could go shooting.

Then I thought about a woman...………….

Does this count?

I clean my Ruger Mark IV Standard today.

I too went to work. I did think about what I'm going to shoot next week with friends visiting from out of town.

Now I'm about to go grab something to eat with my wife . . . local and not crowded . . . I hope.

Local rental range had a Valentine's competition.
Three heart shaped targets, his, hers, ours. Nice prizes.
I shot it with a Broad Minded Married Lady and then she went on to a romantic dinner with Hubby. I went home to batchelor pad.

Sister is married to an elk hunter. She is a Grand Canyon hiker, guide certified. Groan.
I have known these ladies - also brothers, father, mother, husbands - for longer than a Real Lady would care to discuss - and am pretty much adopted.

Got my wife a card and nice bouquet of flowers, and picked up the Ruger Precision Rimfire I'd orderd at my local FFL.

I took mrs AF to a Japanese steak house last evening after we went grocery shopping at Aldi's.
We (she)are watching grandkids so #1 son and d-n-l can attend an outdoor show down in Nashville.
I did unbox two new hks speedloaders for my s&w 66...does that count as gun related?

Today I bought three used ammo boxes and some .357 cases at the LGS.
Tonight I prepped some .223 brass.
The wife and I celebrated Valentines yesterday.
David.

My next one will have at least 200 acres of good deer hunting ground.
As I have buds that need a place to hunt.
Kinda guy I am, take one for the team

Been single for over 15 yrs.
Well, not married anyway.
The ex and kids all came back yrs ago.

Things aint bad. Just different.
Zero tolerance for nonsense.
So there isn't any.

You're back with your ex-wife after 15 years?

She and the kids have been back for almost 15 LOL.

Got one kid through college. Another almost done and the 3rd has health issues. Hopefully healthy enough to go back this fall.

Just doin my job.

Shorty might feel good enough to go to deer expo next week. Maybe not. Never know.

If so well make a day jn the big city. Siblings and ex can join, or not. Hell, last yr I went by myself.

My wife does flowers and bakes cookies aside from her professional job. Wife and I (and 9 year old son) had a nice steak dinner and came home to rest. my wife was no t feeling well and my daughter was out with friends. While I waited on her to come home I went out and loaded some ammo. I came in a returned my 43 to stock. Today I hope to make it to the range.

A dinner w fam is not to be underrated.
With my kids health issues....and a new med. We actually were able to go out, sit and enjoy a dinner together. First time in proly 3 years. I cant remember the last normal time.

Enjoy the small stuff

Took Mrs. Fl-NC to a nice dinner while we were both carrying our CCW pistols.

The ol lady has killer hair. Mop w curl. But it takes her an hr to get it right. So she went to have a mild perm done to reduce daily effort.

And the stylist screwed it up. Has happened there and elsewhere. Come to the conclusion that a stripper that cant cant or gets fat, becomes a hair dresser.

Anyway, shes going back for a fix today. I went to gunshop. Found a TC Encore pistol. Not the bbl I want. Is Pro Hunter w cracked wood grip. Proly get for 350 out the door. No optic. End up w 200 in frame after dumping bbl. Hmmmmm
