What in the heck did u buy lololol ??????

It was actually yesterday, JC Penney is closing in my little town, so I went there to buy things to redo my bathroom. Unforunately they don't carry shower curtains.
So I went to Amazon and found a great setup with shower curtain, matching hooks, toilet seat cover, rug for the commode, and a rug for the outside of the tub, and voila 2 day shipping.
I am one happy camper.

If firearms offend you, kindly skip this post.

I posted a photo in the galleries about rails. It goes with this post.

Gemme and ~ocean, here is my very long-winded expanation. :( Sorry, it just came out extra long. You may want to skip it after you look at photo in galleries.

For anyone ... if I have left out anything or made an erroneous description, please feel free to correct me. Thanks!

Discussion Applies Only to Pump-Style Shotguns


when you want to shoot your pump shotgun ...


you load one or more shells into your magazine tube ... it is necessary to then rack the slide which will put a shell in the chamber ... in this photo to rack the slide, the chainsaw handle must be pulled back all the way, then pushed forward all the way and it is accomplshed very quickly ... after having done this, to fire the shotgun, all you do is pull the trigger


there are lots of gadgets you can attach to the barrel, slide, magazine tube ... the two most common parts that enable adding attachments to your slide are called picatinny rails (pr)and weaver rails (wr) ... I am only covering the pr here ... if interested in the wr, google it


the chainsaw gadgie handle on this one is attached via pr on the bottom of the shotgun ... you can only see the bottom edges of the pr so I made a modified circle to show the bottom ones ... there are also side pr on this model ... if I decided I wanted to rack the slide with a folding 5-position vertical grip (vg) - I would remove the chainsaw handle and install the vg ... generally these are postured at a 90 degree angle from your slide, although some are made to curve somewhat towards the backend of the sg ... you can also put the grip on the side of the shotgun and rack it from either side, right-handers would attach it to the pr on the left side, lefties on the rght ... if the grip has multiple positions (the one I order has 5) this provides opportunity for customization in locating the most comfortable angle ... it also folds flat against the slide for easier transport


I have yet to research how I intend to install the green Crimson Trace laser ... the green is more desirable than the red because the red is said to fade out in brighter light ... lasers are good at 50' or less and can provide shooter better accuracy


I purchased some 12 gauge AGUILA mini shells ... though I don't want to be dependent on a laser, I am in the learning stage with these short shells so the laser will be helpful during my training period ... they do require an OPSol adapter ($17.99 online at Walmart) to be inserted and seated properly in the chamber ... without the adapter, the shells get hung up and won't cycle correctly during racking process... I love these shells, they are only 1 and 3/4" long ... though less powder in the shell, they are perfect for my purpose, have plenty of power and the selling feature is the recoil is very manageable ... no more bruised shoulder ... a sore shoulder became a huge issue over the past year ... it cannot take the hammering anymore ... an undesireable consequence of being almost 62 years old (laughing)


the great thing about this particular Crimson Trace cmr-206 green laser is you can transfer it to any long gun or pistol with a picatinny rail ... the custom ones for a particular firearm can run hundreds of dollars ... no thanks


Before learning about these short shells, my intentions were to sell both my 12 gauges and keep the .410 bore. Now I have decided to keep the 12 gauge Maverick ... and to trade the 12 gauge Mossberg Chainsaw, the Mossberg .410 gauge and Smith &Wesson .40 caliber Shield pistol for partial payment on a new Smith & Wesson TRR8 revolver. I shot a friend's .357 magnum Colt Python a while back and really liked it. They quit manufacturing these revolvers years ago and now the selling price for a well-kept used one can run several thousand. The TRR8 is a .357 magnum too, whole lots less than the used Python but still along the same lines as the Python. TRR8 is very sexy!! :)


I find target practicing a great deal of fun. The only things I liked about basic training was firing the m-16s, m-60s and throwing grenades ... plus they provided the best tasting food and it was all-you-can-eat. :) I ALWAYS follow the best safety practices and rules as well as laws. In fact, I would describe myself as overly careful --->>> every single time I handle any firearm. Nothing less works for me.

Gemme
 

Hey Gemme, I don't understand the concept of going hunting. When I was in early grade school I went with Charlie (my father) or grandfather but they were not really true hunters.

For me, I do not have any desire to shoot deer, birds, rabbits, squirrels, etc but I will shoot any venomous snake in a heartbeat with no guilty feelings at all. NONE!

Target practice is a hobby which I enjoy immensely. And it keeps me skilled. Plus there are so many different cool add-ons you can install on firearms. I am a true sucker for a gadget.

I like to read when you post about your crafts. Interesting to me ... I admire people who can do things like crafts because I haven't one artsie bone in my body. There is a lady down the street who can sew anything. Plus, she is always doing artsie crafts too. The other day she was talking about a weekend two weeks ago when she did a marathon sewing weekend. She said her eyes were very tired at the end of it. She is another one like you, blessed with the crafty talent.

Had to go back to Trader Joe's to get toothpaste...
While in there, I swear I heard this dark chocolate bar calling my name...so, I brought it home with me... in addition to the almond butter (crunchy of course!)

:eatinghersheybar:

I also went to Trader Joes. Mostly for.stuff for my dad, but also.because I am lately addicted.to.their raw pistachios....mmmmm

While there I got.some.all.natural cleaner..Cedarwood or.something. Not everyone loves my homemade.vimegar cleaners.

I also.tried a watermelon.kombucha and my life will never be the same.....even the cashier.waa.like omg that's my favorite!!!

Also.worth mentioning, at my produce store they habe fresh pressed.juice and one of.them was jalapeño lemonade. Oh. My. Yum. I'm learning to make it. I must.....

Now I am looking for a long black cardigan

A couple bundles of baby’s breath flowers.

Nothing so far but thinking I may go back to ebay tonight and see if that seller still has more of the brand new Crimson Trace CMR-206 green lasers like I bought couple weeks ago. Dirt cheap for a green one ($111.00) and you turn it on/off yourself when you want to use it. It is not activated by squeezing the grip on the firearm. I like this CMR-206 manual style better.

Bought
 

Mom is spending the night so I bought a watermelon. She will be so pleased.

Curtains! Well the package says blackout drapes but that is a lie, they're curtains. Actually today I only bought one curtain panel. Yesterday at the thrift store I found a brand new panel, still in it's original packaging, that I really like. I picked it up because I knew if I couldn't find another I could always do a little altering and use it on the smaller window in the bedroom. Well I found plenty online but the point of thrift store shopping is to luck out on a bargain right? Anyhow with a little more searching I found a panel to match that was even less expensive than those on Ebay or at the big box megalomart. I didn't have to make a special trip, drag around town to pick the second one up, or buy more than what I needed to get free shipping. All together I saved almost half off. Just 70 cents more than exactly half off so I'm pretty pleased and that's my today's happy place. :)

I stopped at the fruit stand
Strawberries
Blueberries
Tomatoes
Then the grocery store
Panko
Chicken
Eggs
Corn on the cob

Watermelon is the way to go!

I'm happy for you! I love the thrill of finding something online.

I made it to WallyWorld after work and finished my shopping for the week. Earlier, I got some produce at the grocery store. Tonight, I picked up snacks, cat stuff (litter and bagged food), water, more produce, meatless meat crumbles, pom juice, oatmeal and bread.

Not one darn thing! In fact, I haven't even left the house today:eatinghersheybar:
