That's a "Happy" thought?

Scratch that, the company canceled my order because they won't ship to the City of LA. Now I am freaking pissed!

May do that, or one closer, but reached out to the NRA about challenging the ordinance for now . . .

I'm watching the 'Bill Hiller Story' (the movie 'Taken') and smiling, knowing that we ran that lying SOB to ground and hung his burned carcass on the fence for all to see.
Life is sweet.

I have a few happy thoughts of the day:
1.) I discovered while unpacking my stuff 1000+ rounds of .22 ammo, and 3 twenty round boxes of 175gr Gold Medal Match I had forgotten about 
2.) I was unpacking my stuff in VA as opposed to MD (finally!) 
3.) My wife and I have all the major items secured in preparation of our new arrival in May (car seat, crib, dressers, changing table, pack 'n play, high chair, clothes, etc.)

Congratulations BryanK!
Oh and congrats on the baby too! 
This makes me happy! Picked up 6 sheep on Monday from a neighbor. They're doing really well because they have plenty to eat now. They're getting along well with the goats and the alpacas but my little Jack Russell tried killing a lamb.

Tax refund came in this week, so that means of course, I went to some of my local gun stores to see if there was something I just couldn't live without.
Ended up with a Taurus PT-140 Millennium .40 cal S&W as well as several boxes of .40 cal (X's 3) and .45 acp (X's 5) ammo. As well as a clip holster for the .40 and a new holster for my 1911.
But the really nice thing I noticed was, the stores that I stopped at are starting to re-stock their shelves. Ammo is also starting to come back. One store had their shelves completely re-stocked with ammo, and there were quite a few larger boxes out on the floor.
Also noticed that the AR's are starting to make a reappearance. One store had seven out, while another had four or five out, while another had a good dozen or so out.
While I was waiting on my back ground check (one hour) I was talking to the store owner and he said, now that the "frenzy" is somewhat over, he may be lowering his prices in the next month or so.

Should I be concerned with the quality of our local summer camp? Talking about the upcoming camp and the activities he wanted to sign up for, my 11 y/o son announced, "I'm signing up for waterboarding."

Snow Day
First time in 4 years I have been around to celebrate a real live snowday. Good times on the North Shore today.

Spent the early evening watching the kids play in the back yard.
Even the dog and young cat were playing (but not the old cat - she's a grump).
5 y/o tried to imitate stunts he'd seen on YouTube (I'm a terrible father...), jumped on the trampoline, and spotted jets illuminated by the setting sun.
7 y/o climbed the cherry tree and played on the swing set.
10 y/o chased the younger ones around the yard on her electric scooter.
12 y/o mainly shot baskets a taught the others some basketball.
Seems like just yesterday I was swinging them in my arms inside the house.
Now the 12 y/o stands not quite 5'11" barefoot and has a higher reach than I do (at 6'2").
Weather's getting warmer, Lake Powell will start rising, and vacation starts in June (and lasts for 5 weeks!).
Trying to make the time count; children grow up fast.
Feel very blessed to live when, where, and how I do.
