Mish Mash....

     There .. I started .. Now if I only had something to blog about. 

I used to really enjoy writing these blogs.  Although some were 'embellished' they were never fabricated.  I had fun adding a little color to my otherwise boring and mind numbing ramblings.  I always try to leave enough of a hint to let one know that there could possibly be a bit of, shall we say, BS involved and to take it with a grain of salt.                                                              As of late I have kind of lost the urge to do that.  Seems that the world has gotten far too serious.  I feel uncomfortable trying to make light of certain situations even when I myself am at the brunt of it.  It's almost like the world doesn't want to be amused any more.  Seems they only care about politics and the virus.  Both subjects I refuse to debate.

      So contrary to what people want to hear I decided to go back to my old ways just as a test.  Although some may be relative to my forbidden subjects none will attempt to form an opinion. pro or con, on the subject.  The good Lord only knows I've learned my lesson there!

Manly Carry...

     I remember back in the day getting dressed  for the day and feeling naked if I didn't have my wallet and a few dollars on me.  Plus for as long as I can remember a pocket knife of some sort. Add to that a handkerchief and car keys and I was ready to go.  Not so much anymore.  Having gotten interested in prepping and survival in the last few years I now find myself carrying a lighter at all times because fire is life in emergency situations.  My keychain as also put on some weight with a P38 can opener and a keychain ferro rod (because lighters can fail at times.. Ferro rods do not).  Being older and more feeble now we have to make room for a bottle of nitro just in case the ole ticker decides to take a break.  Its been eleven years since it's last little siesta so why take a chance.   Then with the present state of the world who would be fully dressed without a trusty sidearm.  Paranoid?  Not at all.  a wise man once told me  " You don't get to decide when you need a sidearm.. Someone will decided it for you"  be prepared.  Of course that also means and extra magazine in your pocket just in case.  That brings me to one last item. A mask.  What is the proper manly way to carry a mask?  Should I make a leather belt pouch?  Maybe a sash with molly clips?  Haven't quite figured that out yet.  Anything has to be better than making return trips to the truck to retrieve it every time I get to the store entrance.   I do kinda have to chuckle when I go to the bank wearing a gun on my hip and a mask on my face..  Al Capone would be so proud.....
