RV Trip Today

[pop pop]

Taking another RV trip today. BersaGuy, going to carry my S W Bodyguard 380 (some think mouse gun) for EDC for the next 14 days. Got it loaded with Hornady Critical Defense 90 GR FTX ammo. I am amazed how good that pistol shoots being so small. Can hardly tell itis in the pocket.  Having bad lower back problems, as of late, and need to reduce weight I am carrying on my waist. 

When I get back I am going to shoot some water jugs with several different ammo brands. Going to see which has the best penetration. When I carried the Colt PocketLite 380 I used Remington Golden Saber with a 102 gr bullet.  It penetrated 3 water jugs and dented the 4th which is fair for such a small Caliber. That supposedly works out to about 10" of penetration with some expansion. I was firing it through 2 layers of denim and 2 layers of terrycloth. 

We been going there for years, with friends, and never had any trouble. Do know it can happen that is why the EDC. I am also taking my S W 9 C 2.0 along in the truck and will be in the RV when we park. It is stocked with Hornady Critical Duty 135 Gr. 

By the way got to teach 3 young boys how to shoot pistols and revolvers last Saturday. They were city boys 16 to 10 Y O. Started them with the 22 revolver, and they were scared of it. Finally, the oldest went for it and the rest was history. Their dad told me, at church yesterday, they couldn't quit talking about the experience all afternoon. Said they did not realize how much fun it could be. Always like to teach newbies. I shot into water jugs to show them what H P bullets did and we talked about that. They were amazed when the 38 Spl bullet hit the first jug and how it exploded. 

You guys have a good next 2 weeks.

Have a great trip and remember, the smallest thing you carry is better than the largest thing you lest at home.

Back home Friday afternoon. Had great trip. Came home 2 days early because of expected rain and we have a granddaughter getting married, and grandmom has not purchased a suitable dress yet.

That could sure put a dent in the gun budget, but it's for a good cause.  May God bless the whole event!

Wedding, "BIG DENT!" Her reception is over $10,000.00 (120 guest) for starters. Her poor mom and dad. 

Been doing yard work all morning. We planted 300.00 worth of flowers before we left, and our daughter came over and watered them while we were gone. Of course, my wife brought more home for me to plant, so I been doing that among other things all morning. Hand to put miracle grow on all the smaller plants to give them a little boost plus some others. Done everything I wanted except weed eating. That gets my back now. While out I overhead the Blue Angels flying at the air show in Smyrna. Man, the jets vibrate the ground just from the sound when the afterburners are engaged. 

My hummingbirds have still stayed around. Got 4 females and 1 male at present. Put fresh nectar and sugar water out for them and they are tearing it up this morning. Have one feeder on the front and one on the back but they still divebomb each other. We have one feeder in the breakfast nook bay window on the back so we can watch them feed, while we feed. It is a mutual thing considering it all. 

Well, I am in for the day as I am tired. Going to eat some late lunch. Wiffie has gone to town so I will have some Beenie Winnies and crackers. She will fuss but it is good. Will tope them off with a Mini Moon Pie and soft drink. Now you beat that! Have a good afternoon.

MMM, Beanie Weenies and crackers sounded good, but a Moon Pie too? You're a lucky man.
