This was a good weekend. Unseasonable warm. It was in the 40's and even got up to the low 60's.
I spent Saturday going to the gun range and I met a new guy named Richard. Looks to be in his 50's and is a tall gentleman who seems a little too cultured to be hanging out with the normal gun range crew.
On the other hand, he was a big fan of Smith and Wessons and had a S&W M&P 9 Shield as well as a S&W 642 stainless snub nosed revolver. He had just bought the snub nose and was doing an admirable job of sighting it in. Slow shooting, but scoring very good hits and doing it consistently.
I shot the Glock 34 and the Walther PPQ22. I did better with the 22, but overall I think I am improving. I certainly need more practice, but I am making strides and having a lot of fun while I do it.
Sunday I went to the late Mass at the Cathedral and since it was the first Sunday of Lent, the place was packed to the gills.
The jeep is still running but making a lot of weird noises and taking a lot to get up to speed.
I posted on Facebook about the Expanse and got a lot of strong recommendations for that TV show. Lots of people strongly recommended the books as well.
I have continued running every day and am at 5.3 mph. My lower back is hurting but so far not too bad. I have been able to control it with stretching and ice packs and ibuprofen.
Unfortunately it looks like Colt is going under again. There are stories floating around of them doing big lay offs. They just came out with a cool new revolver, the Colt Cobra, two months ago, but it is not for sale anywhere.
So far Lent is going well. Reading and praying on a regular basis. I have been consistently attending CL and we even had that special Mass in the Cathedral two weeks ago. Two of the gals at CL are pregnant and are having trouble with their pregnancies.
I am really excited to get down to the cities and go shooting with Chad and his new 9E.
