I was working on the boys room today and boy that's a mess. there was rot under the floor that looked real nice when we moved in a year ago. But underneath there was just plain rotten wood and fiberglass insulation soaked with water that has come up as vapor through the slab of what used to be a garage floor. So the floor has gradually been looking worse and finally had to look into it to see what was going on. Rotten under a nice veneer of ceramic tile. I have about got it removed now. I will seal the concrete and put those colorful interlocking foam tiles back in to fix it quick and cheap. There will be a 4" step down into that room now. While I was working I was listening to the Dana show, Dana was on vacation, and the guy on there was talking about the State of the Union address coming up in January and how our liar in chief was going to unveil some sweeping changes to the gun laws amounting to Federal Registration. I know that he is wanting to do nasty things to gun owners as an act to create his Legacy so people will remember him as president. I will have no trouble remembering him even though i would like to forget. I was able to state my opinion that historically, registration has been the precursor to confiscation and really is of no use in getting the guns away from people who will use them for evil because they do not care what the law is anyway and will just steal a gun to do what they feel they need to do. You can site Nazi Germany, England, Australia, and California as examples without even breaking a sweat. People were assured that it was only for their own protection and no one would ever think of taking the guns away from the honest folks. Then wham, " you must turn all your registered guns or we will come get them". My three kids listen and seemed to accept the logic and truth of this and i am happy for that. Home schooling has paid off in that they are used to listening to me and have not been brainwashed to the extent that many other kids are from state sponsored education. .... So then I was thinking I better go and see what is available at the Gun Store up in Titusville that I have been driving by for a year and not checking out. I even told my wife where I was going and then got into the car and went. I have been wanting to replace the high point carbine that I traded off while we were still in Michigan but have not managed to do so. Meanwhile I have managed to sell some of my collection and pare down some of the calibers that I was able to reload for. This is not progress. The shop is small and has a few guns in it but does not compare with the Store called On Target just west of Kalamazoo in Michigan. There are no reloading supplies or tools, there were 4 Mosin Nagant rifles, all priced about $350. And other ordinary shotguns and rifles. There was a nice case full of handguns and there was a good 1920's Winchester 92 for $1600 . There was also a 45 auto High Point Carbine way up on the wall. I asked to see it, the man got it down and I asked what he had to have for it and he said $349. This was a carbine with one mag and a vertical grip for the front, he thought. No lazer and no extra mags. He said the 9mm version was $329. So I am torn. I want to support a local business and establish a relationship and buy a new gun but the price is high. I also want to get one of those while the getting is good before the doom falls. The price is higher than I have seen on auctions but there is no shipping, or it is already in there, I will probably go back and talk to them some more but the price is kind of high. And now the new year has begun, and here I am.
