Sunday Stuff

It has been a busy past couple of days. Weather finally cooled down and it feels much more seasonal.
Got our tree put up, and threw some lights in the bushes in front of the house.
Got lots of shopping done...Being a Prime member with Amazon is awesome!.  I hate the crowds, and how wonky other shoppers can be.

Remember this guy?  Its Herman our Ceramic Christmas Watch Elf who comes to life every night and reports back to Santa during Christmas. The next morning we find him in different locations around  our house.
Well, Ole Herman is very old and the other night Libby was chasing the cat and the cat knocked Herman over before he could come to life and take his daily report to Santa..Being as old and fragile as he is, Herman Broke  : (  
Now it seems that Santa has decided to retire  Herman to Elfkin Island which is in the South Pacific to enjoy the rest of his years. Santa has told us that we may be getting a new, younger and more versatile Elf sent to us.... 

Yesterday Senior and I hit a gun show, more like a Taser show. Because it seemed like all they were selling. I asked by an over zellous salesman if I would like to protect myself and purchase a taser......lol

Today was church, yes I am happy to say that I am back going. Probably not every Sunday, but atleast more frequent then I was. The Pastor and his wife baked dozens and dozens of cookies, and fudge, and brought it all for the congreation. It is a yearly "Thank You" they do. Then the Choir did a Christmas Music Special.

After church, I got out in the garage with Senior to learn how to re-load. I did several rounds of .223, and watched how he does his 300 Blackout. He also showed me how easy it is to insert the primers. I hope he will let me do more. It is something I would like to become good at.

Herman McCookie actually behaved himself last night. This morning at 6am a groggy ND went to potty and found him sitting on the tank staring at him.. and as always ND Screamed.... 

A friend sent me the following  of a naughty elf that had been out on the town in Vegas with Barbie:

I can't wait for Saturday, its a gun show. Senior and I are dropping off the boys at my parents and having a date day. I am in search of a long rifle in which I can make into my project. I want the challenge of taking it apart and re-finishing the stock. I have a few friends that argue this with me, that doing so takes the  character out of it..but I have been studying up on it, watching You Tubes on all the "how to's", I have thought of it long and hard, and its something I really want to do and accomplish.  Now, its a matter of finding the right rifle...Senior says to get a cheap Mosin.
And as always I promise to blog about the entire project from beginning to end...

Lots in the news today about the whole North Korea issue.. worries me. Why you ask? read the book "One Second After"  and that will explain it to you.

Okay, off here now to go over kids homework, and get them ready for the dinner party.  Enjoy your evening everyone!
