I will be packing Monday and traveling Tuesday to the Palouse, so I will go ahead and post now, this one is just for fun!!

 

 

Funny thing, how people think they know you.  I got an interesting email saying some very nice things about my blog, my classes on KelbyOne, etc, etc.  It ended with a interesting sentence, and I quote, “Being a fellow from Appalachia, I guess I thought you would be a gun toting, redneck,  before reading your inspiring words!”  I can’t blame this fellow, because that is the accepted opinion of folks from my part of the country, and he was right about one thing, that few people know, I am a gun lover.

 

Now I’m not getting ready for the zombie apocalypse, or the Russians coming, or anything like that.  I love to target shoot at the range, (the old days we just went into the woods), and I’ve always enjoyed firearms.  I’m a safety nut and have taught all my family members the proper way to handle a gun and how to be absolute sure that all guns are unloaded until they need to go into action.  By-the-way Sherelene is an expert shot!  I thought I might share the guns I own and shoot above and below;

 

Above are my Handguns above;

 

1. A Glock 23 chambered in .40 calibre   (Same gun as issued to the FBI)

 

2.  A Springfield Armory XD 3.3 Mod. 2 chambered in 9mm.  Concealed Carry

 

3.  A Ruger Mark III Target pistol with a bull barrel chambered for .22 Long Rifle.

 

4.  A Taurus Poly Protector 5 shot revolver chambered in .38 Special +P  – also concealed carry.

 

5.  A Taurus Tracker large frame chambered in .22 Long Rifle.  To stay accurate with heavy frame revolvers.

 

6.  A Ruger Single Six revolver chambered for .22 Long Rifle and and an additional cylinder for .22 Magnum.  Loved Roy Rogers!

 

 

 

 

Rifles above:

 

1. A Mossburg  Model 500 – 12 gauge pump shotgun.

 

2.  A Henry Golden Boy Lever Action Rifle chambered for .22 Long Rifle.

 

3.  A Henry Short Western Lever Action   chambered for .22 Long Rifle.

 

4.  A Ruger 10-22 Tactical Carbine with Nikon Scope and Bi-pod  chambered for .22

 

5. A Smith & Wesson M&P AR-15-22  Chambered for .22 Long Rifle  chambered in .22 Long Rifle.

with Nikon Tactical Scope, Bi-pod, laser and combat light.

 

So, maybe that was  something you din’t know!

Yes, a Five Guys Burgers and Fries Burger has topped the list!  Sherelene and I were coming back from Knoxville and stopped by the Emory Road Five guys off the Powell Exit on I-75.  Now before I start don’t get me wrong, I’ve rated Five Guys Burgers very high in the past, but they are not all in the mid 4+ pickles.  The making a burger is more about the people that craft it, and the Emory Road Store has Allen, a master burger maker! He and Cody (the Assistant Manager) took great care of us, and the General Manager of that store, Jody,  and I had a great conversation, I’m pretty sure he thought I was nuts whenI told him I was a cheeseburger expert, but now he can read the review!

 

I’ve had a lot of great burgers, but have, before today, refused to give any a full 5 Pickles on my scale, but this one deserved it, absolutely a great burger!  So to Allen, You’re the man, Cody, great service and Jody, you were a good sport treating this crazy bearded guy like he really knew what he was talking about!  Check out the rating!  It’s for real!

 

Blessings,
