Merry Christmas Everybody!

It sounds like we may have to reschedule most of Christmas due to impending Iowa Weather. No big surprise there- it IS Iowa, after all.

Figures that when I checked the Casper weather the other day, it was sunny an 45 degrees. (Grrr.)

(Hope you are enjoying it, Jack, Anna, and everyone else- you know who you are.)

Anyhow, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

(Gratuitous baby pics to follow, photos by Korey.)











Remember- Santa is WATCHING you!
(and so are some alphabet soup agencies, if you read this blog or any like it.)

I don't care what I "get for Christmas," Mary and Joseph got their baby, Jesus; mankind got a shot at Salvation, and Korey & I have The Awesome Eli.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

The Passion of the Volk

So, the Ultimate Awesome Photographer Oleg Volk has recently been shooting pics of some of my refinishing work. You gotta love this guy's passion, skill, & spirit:


Education at its FINEST.

Soon-to-be Supermodel Jessica


(Probably Eli's first rifle.)

A business would have to be all kinds of dumb to not hire Oleg and one of his fantastic models.


And Eli and I have been going over new skill sets:


(Eating like a Big Boy, crawling, standing, yakking...dueling is a ways off.)




(Funny thing is, he didn't actually crawl UNTIL daddy fired up the lightsaber- THEN we had to come see what the red blade tasted like, and scoot scoot CRAWL. The kid cracks me up.)

And Finally, here is why it might take weeks over the winter to refinish a SIMPLE 1911-
You have to be able to GET to the shop! Blizzards suck.



(Parkerized & primed with first round of DuraCoat; ready for fine sanding prior to gloss black)


Also, here is a Christmas Delivery for someone:





1-9 heavy barrel, Eotech 512 (AA Battery model,) MagLevel PMAG with ranger floorplates, M4 6-position stock, Rock River 2-stage match trigger, Midwest Industries co-witness rail mount, Phantom Flah hider, Yankee Hill Diamond-style freefloat forearm, and a midlength gas system for the whole package. Not exactly what Santa wants, but it beats waiting 6 months for an RRA TASC kit to be delivered, to be sure.

The lower is from SI DEFENSE- and they are hands down the NICEST lowers I have ever seen, finish wise. Fit is pretty damn good too.

If I don't post again until after the holidays, please forgive me- plenty going on and just catching up on emails & phone calls is a challenge.

so, MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

Coolest Nerdy Toy...

...from the coolest Christmas movie, EVAH!
Lots of folks wax poetic about "A Christmas Story," this time every year, and the Leg Lamp; some lean more towards the Chevy Chase classic Griswold Christmas; some traditionalists gotta have their Charlie Brown. As for me, though, it ain't Christmastime in the US without a bit of Bruno.

THIS TOY has got to be the coolest thing, ever. I want one for a tree topper.
