Hi all,
At

CT's suggestion, I was able to get away from the Mission for a little while today to go shooting, then lunch.

drove all the way down from Middletown this morning, went graciously on the "grand tour" of the Mission, and listened patiently while I droned on about the work of the Mission, and the affect it has on the lives of men and women in crisis. And

didn't fall asleep!!! So... there's a winning day right there. But it gets better!
I drove us over to Bridgeport Shooting Range for a couple of hours of shooting. He brought his DW 357, his DW PM7 and a SW model 59.
I brought my 3" Springer loaded, the SIG GSR, my DW CCO, a Colt 380, a Taurus 608 8 shot .357 and an old Ruger P85. We had a great time swapping stories and pistols, shooting different kinds of ammo and yes... I took a couple pictures!
Afterwards, it was off to the Windmill Restaurant in Stratford for hotdogs (mustard, relish, raw onions and bacon.... along with onion rings)... and a couple sodas/waters. I sent him on his way home about a half hour ago, and Im ready to take a nap! Nice guy, but then... all us Connecticut Cotepers seem to be!
