From yesterday, didn't get posted--
Agriculture--the world's ONLY ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL industry.
Nice day today, supposed to reach 90*. Windows open and nice breeze playing through right now. All of the clouds and most of the smoke blew out today, with the mild Santa Ana wind condition that onset (finally). Humidity dropped drastically overnight--55% when/64* I went to bed, 88* and 8% right now. (12:30 PM/9-9)
Today--89*, low humidity, some smoke and haze. 93* predicted high today, so kinda mild and pretty nice. We only ran the A/C for about 3 hours yesterday, 4 P.M. to 7 P.M. That is likely for today, as well--windows open to let in the smoke. It's not like 462's sitch, not real bad here--but noticeable.
Did a bit of a gunshop crawl yesterday after my repair stop at The Fake Foot Foundry. Shawn at ASK Defensive actually had some handguns in stock, several of which sang their Siren Songs sweetly. S&W Model 69 x 4.2", S&W 686+ x 6", and a small fleet of Bergara bolters. It has been a full year since my last New Toy came home. Pricing was fair, too--not screamin' deals, but fair prices 5%-10% under MSRP. Given that non-existent Colt Pythons are bringing $3K up front to order them, pricing for the 2 NIB S&Ws was a bit of a surprise. Shawn isn't a buccaneer. He actually had some pistol ammo on hand, too--though none of the 38 Special 158 LSWC/HP +P that has been unobtainium for over a year. Some day, maybe.
