IM officially nominating Laniers as AU Rant IM Czar.

Additionally I love a 9mm. I bought a Browning 9mm Hi-Power in 1985 and that lady still shoots as well today as she did almost 40 years ago.

It is a small gun that fits in my hand well. I have fairly large hands too. I have no problem gripping it.


I ordered a ETS speed loader tonight. Will load my 9mm Glock 17 and 43x.









The 43x came with a plastic housing that helps but it basically only pushes the spring down on the mag for one shell at a time. Helps but I saw a guy at the range using that speed loader today and it was bad arse. Pick the shells up out of the box and spring loads them right into the clip

Have you ever shot a HK? Friend has a HK CC9 and loves it. I think he has another one of their handguns as well. Loves that company. I had never heard of them.



The HK CC9 looks nice

I have not shot any HK’s but will when I can get my hands on one. I’ve seen some good reviews on some models. We are in the golden age of hand guns.

Possums are extremely beneficial creatures. They eat tons of ticks. Including an article below. Not sure how they are eating your bird seed. My bird feeder is hung by super thin but strong twine from a branch away from the tree so that squirrels can’t jump on to them or climb down.


I had an opossum break into my chicken coop and kill several chickens so I started trapping them with a live trap and shooting them with my suppressed .22lr rifle aka the “opossum popper”. I know opossum’s have benefits but it takes 6 months of raising a chick until she starts laying and it’s frustrating to have to start the process over.

Long Columbia pants. Socks and shoes. Hoodie. The struggle is real


All well here in Cortez. Working and watching the rain. Just checked the news finally, looks like Auburn is getting some snow.....


Kinda relaxing today doing some catch up work. May head home soon and get some sleep. Wife and I stayed up late last night celebrating. Need to sleep.

Your old stomping grounds are getting starting to get a pretty good dusting. Started with some flurries about 3:00. Really started coming down about 15-20 minutes ago.

Cold as shite here. Anything that sticks may be around until Thursday afternoon either as snow or ice.

Yea, I have a few friends who I text with daily and they sent pictures.


Weather here sucks for us. This entire week is going to suck. Lows around 40, couple days in the 30's, highs in the low 50's. Then about Sunday, we get back to Florida weather. Upper 70's and sunshine

You must be sleeping late bro. Was 40 this morning, raining and windy. I am a shorts guy if there ever was one but I am sporting the long Columbia pants today and probably most of the week. Cold in my shop at times too.

I will return to my regular scheduled wardrobe on Saturday.

Heading out for a couple hours of surfing. Got 26 on the deck and 35 by meeting so it'll be above freezing.

Heard they still had ice on the north gulf coast. Looking to be warm, dry and fed by game time.

Enjoy your shorts it's a drysuit day here.
