Diggin the weather

[TxPython357]

I hear you, upstate NY, moved to Houston in 2000. No way I'm going back to NY. Weather and politics keeping me here.

Yep, I got to Houston about 1981 I believe, after some traveling. Been here ever since. I retired and no longer reside in Houston but where I am now here in Tyler Co. Texas is where I will live the rest of my life and will die here.

We've had a good amount of thunder sleet and it's continuing as my backyard is completely covered. The school next door let out at noon just as it started. The 50mph road I can see is going well under 30mph and I see a small car that's stuck and can't leave a residential street for that main road. My 4WD and AWD vehicles are in the garage and I have no intention of playing bumper cars with others for the next day or two.

Haha yeah to be clear I meant I’m digging the cooler temps and easier concealment, not this ice storm.

Heh...I'm sitting here, working at my computer...listening to the rain wash all the damn rock salt off the front porch and steps before it refreezes.

Sigh.

This weather makes for some good pics
Very thankful to work from home.

I'm sitting here looking at the radar map showing a line of freezing rain at Junction and hoping it turns to the regular wet kind before it reaches me...

Currently 33°F.

Finally got out of the house for a minute, Ol Blue on my hip.

Although picking a pair of well traveled 30 year old Justin cowboy boots as footwear on the ice probably not the best idea, the soles are pretty slick

Peculiarly, I find it easier to carry a big 1911 than a ”Commander”.

Never tried a G20, but the G21 is just too big to conceal easily.

A G21 was one of my first carry guns back in Virginia. Got it at a pawnshop for like $200 because someone’s dog chewed up the bottom of the grip around the magwell. Threw a hogue grip on it and was good to go. I could always get away with carrying something like that around the 7 o clock position because I’m a left handed fat guy. The ol love handles breaks the silhouette lol. Carried my 1911 the same way before I had the Glock.

I prefer to carry a commander size 1911.

I use a Bianchi IWB Forward Cant holster, the longer bbl’s give better balance.

For a day at the range I usually take a full size 1911 but for carry, the smaller pistol is my choice.
