The CZickness #XIV....It continues

[wtburnette]

They're all really nice but that PCR and the RAMI really have me drooling.

Same here. I never had the urge for a PCR until I saw that. Beautiful, but not for me at that price.

It is crazy. I grew up with zero A/C except a fan. I was 26 before we had it in the house. My mom and dad did it sooner but I was long gone. I seem to have survived.
I spent my working life either on a smoking hot roof (summer. Tundra cold in the winter) because thats where most of the equipment was or pounding black asphalt in the pits chasing a screaming pissed off super hot race car of some kind.

Now, I still work out in this crap but man when I get home I want it comfy...

Didn't have it growing up either. But man, once I got it and realized what I had been missing. I like not sweating while I try to sleep.

Loading up for one more range trip tomorrow. I wanted to get 1,000 rounds through the Phantom while I was on vacation this week, and tomorrow I'll get there. Four range trips in one week is a good vacation.

The wife and I rented a P-07 tonight. Neither of us are fans of polymer, but this one felt really nice in the hand. It fit well and the controls could all be reached easily. The only fault we found was that neither of are 9mm fans, which was only exasperated by bringing along one of the 10mm Witnesses. Otherwise it was a great time and we had a blast. Given our tendency to gravitate towards larger calibers, we’re thinking the 40SW version may be the solution.

Your wife prefers the 10mm to the 9mm? You married well, sir.

 

[Hopper]

I had a box of Underwood's for the 10 mm but never got 'em out. Hopper? You up next?
(

Oof. No, I'm standing my ground for the time being. Never really got any worthwhile nibbles on my S&W 66, which is just as well. I was having seriously mixed emotions letting go of that one to make room for an ECO.

But next Friday is bonus day...

I am convinced air conditioning is all that stands between civilization and a return to the dark ages. I do not handle the heat as well as I once did.

Amen to this. When I was younger, I thought nothing of ripping off a 10K in some pretty unsavory conditions. Not so much anymore. I think I'm creeping into an age where my body doesn't regulate temperature as efficiently as it did when I wasn't sporting a salt-and-pepper hair color.

We spent the last 13 years in a house built in 1956 with electric ceiling cable heat and one wall mounted air conditioning unit, used fans to direct "cool" air down the hallways and space heaters in the winter. Our new house has central air, feel like we're on vacation right now. It's nice not suffering anymore. I will not go back and nobody will make me damnit.

Welcome to civilization sir! A little pain in your youth makes you tough.

You just walked uphill to school both ways.

CM dreamed of living in a house built in 1956.........

Thanks! We've been sleeping soooooo much better the past month.

Thanks! I think I did pretty well on that front. Honestly, I think she’d struggle to pick her favorite between the 10mm Witness or the 357 Coonan.

We are a bit odder than most shooters, large caliber handguns and rimfire rifles.

I've done that. One of the summers my son came home for a visit, we must have done 9 or 10 range trips in a 2 week period. That was a lot of fun...

That is a lot of fun. I'm usually lucky to get two or three in a month. I'm going to hate going back to work next week.

I grew up without A/C. Nobody in our neighborhood had it for years until one family down the street got a window unit. It almost burnt their house down, so it still didn't really catch on until well after we moved to CA. When we first moved to Indy, our A/C sucked. On a warm summer day, the house would run about 81 degrees at best. Learned to live with open windows and ceiling fans until we could afford to replace the system. Don't know if I could do that again. I likes me some A/C now.

That Robar finished PCR sure is sweet looking but the price is way out of my league right now.

Congrats on the Phantom Matt! You'll be quite happy with it, but once worked over by the Wizard, it should be perfect.

Central AC is a godsend, only surpassed by beer. They'll both make you sleep better, but with the AC, you won't wake up sweaty.

CM I got an email from Midwest Gun Exchange and they have some very nice S&W revolvers for a very good price. Now they are airweights and even one Scandium framed.

I noticed my beer consumption has increased drastically the last month. Probably has something to do with all the repairs I've been making at the new house and all the rewards I've been giving myself......beer rewards.....not other ways of rewar.....nevermind.

As this goes one of our own has stepped up and set me up. More later as things transpire...

And many thanks to you and all who have spent some time on this. You guys rock.

I never had AC until I moved out of the house, and got married.

I did basic training 34 years ago, this time of year, at Ft Jackson SC, in WWII barracks. Hell, they'd probably sue the army if they didn't have AC now.
