Chick-fil-A

The wife and I were at the mall today and she was going to take me out for lunch, anywhere that I would like to go. I chose Chick-fil-A , I like the way they do business. Worked our way up to order, kid behind the counter was very polite, took our order, noticed my "Veterans" hat thanked me for my service shook my hand and then comped our meals, he said it was the least he could do. I was surprised and the wife was speechless, it was a very thoughtful gesture and one that I am most appreciative of, Chick-fil-A made my day.

Trifecta

Three thoughts of the day...

1. This morning, Mrs. DIY received the news that she has been promoted.
2. We had a great check up at her doc's office just a little bit ago.
3. While we were there, we were able to see something on ultra sound that had me smiling from ear to ear - the little bun in the oven is a BOY!!!

She'd beat me if she knew I was bragging about her bc she's ultra modest, so all I can say to that is for her to tie me up and let me have it b/c she's crushing this pregnancy - she ran a half marathon a couple weeks ago and still rucks with me, though she's not carrying weight, now

Last week celebrated my 75 birthday, and my 50th wedding anniversary.

Wife deserves the credit for both.

Life is good

Congrats on getting licensed to exercise your 2nd Amendment Rights! Down here in Texas it was a proud day for me when my 2A Rights License arrived from the State.

Having purchased a few firearms after moving from IL to TX, I've shifted my funds to training. I was a "decent" shot before I started getting training from people who teach for a living, now I'm getting good with my pistols. A couple more pistol classes and then on to carbine/rifle and shotgun classes.
