It is a glorious day in northern Utah. It is 89 degrees, light breeze moving the leafs on my trees, and all is right with the world. Maybe the last part of that statement may be overly optimistic but life is pretty good. The bride and I had a contractor come over to the house today and give us a bid on installing new carpet and hard wood floors. I guess we are going forward with this because I saw her write the check for a down payment. I am not going to say how much because I don’t k now how to spell numbers that big. But I am sure it will be beautiful when complete. I had an ATV accident about four years ago and was hurt pretty bad. Since the accident my back has gotten more painful with time. I have now been to four doctors and received the same diagnoses from each. There is nothing they can do for me. So I am on pain management. This does wear on me but I am glad that I can get the medicine I need to help me cope. I am not really complaining seeing how it wouldn’t change the facts. Just venting a little, I know there are millions of folks that would love to trade places with me and my heart goes out to them. There is going to be a gun show on the 16th of June and I plan on attending. I have decided that I cannot live without a single action 357 magnum. Why you ask? I am afraid that I cannot answer the question because I don’t know. But I got money and I want the gun. To most the guys I hang around with this is reason enough to buy any gun, or fishing pole, or whatever we decide we need. The only hiccup I can see to my plans is the possibility of my granddaughter’s birthday party. She turns 6 on the 17th but her party may be on the 16th and that trumps any plans for a gun show. I bought her a very nice child size pink 22 caliber rifle for her birthday present. I know she will have fun with it when she goes camping with her parents. Yes it will be used with adult supervision. Take care all.
