'tis great for connections if the timing works. However, it serves BNA with only Barbie jets (and I tend to avoid RP when possible).

Self-serve beer (Summit Extra Pale Ale) number three.

Travel-related: I was wondering if you had used all those VDB credits yet.

I have $1,300 left. Most recent purchase and use of a VDB voucher EWR-RSW in Oct, with the wife. ^

I'm jealous of FFDO's. IIRC their issue piece is a P226. Nice weapon but not exactly a good fit for me on taste and design grounds. The sweetest handhold I've had is the Ruger SR9 with an Uncle Mike's slip-on grip. It is the only semiauto I've ever encountered that was well and truly a perfect fit for my hand.

ConciergeMike (or others) trivia query: When I said "nickle plated 9" earlier, I was thinking specifically of the old classic S&W Model 39. I can't find anything on Wiki or elsewhere that says it was made thus. Do you know?

Model 3913 in 9mm. Aluminum, not nickel...Google Images reveals nothing such.

I'm still angry at S&W for their sellout to the Clinton administration. Won't touch them.

I'm a little envious you have quite a bit more left than I've "earned" this year. Nice to take down large numbers on a mileage run.

Thanks. Must have been remembering the aluminum. Given the gun's origin and ultimate issue (special forces) nickel would have been a bit foolish.

Combining consultations of a clock, my short-term memory, and my ability to add and subtract reveals that I could have made it to the gym this morning. Fiancee and her two sisters went without me. However, with my lifting gloves still at my mother's house and my non-presence of a gym bag, I'm comfortable with waiting until I'm properly prepared to get back in the swing.

I'm here to help and I'm not from the government. :)

Off to shower and such. Wedding tonight along with the typical demand for the house car should mean a good night for extinguishing of debt. Later, all.

Hiked along the cliffs here this afternoon:

Simply amazing scenery.
