Hiking in the cove. 2 weekends ago. So so beautiful. It was relatively warm, critters were out and the bub was a great little hiking buddy

Got to go on a date to the shooting range with my honey and took some fun pics at home afterwards with my favorites
Picked up some .45 magnum shells to use as ear guages once I cut them shorter
And discovered that even though I've done little to no shooting since I was 13 years old. I'm actually not bad shot.
I'm planning to focus more on learning to protect myself and my son this year and maybe get my hand gun carry permit if I feel like I am ready.
With the current political climate causing alot of confusion for people who were never educated about guns and gun rights I am more determined than ever to take exercise my second amendment rights to protect myself and my loved ones against violent, cruel or mentally ill people who, hopefully will have less of a chance to do harm to innocent people if more sane and educated folks are ready to help our over burdened law enforcement personnel.
I've always found it a little unnerving that there are about 400 people under the protection of each regular police officer on average across the nation and since I'm not particularly fond of living in heavily populated areas with lots of neighbors the availability of an armed police officer is even less likely should I or my family need help.
End of political/ heavy stuff
I have a new phone. It's an iphone 3. I can't use most of the apps currently available in the apple store because the software on the phone is not updated enough for it. But, it was free and it runs so much better than my old phone and has a bigger, clearer screen and a better camera.
This is now my screen saver
