Spent yesterday at wineries

Also spent way too much money.

A nice lunch, and nice time sampling several different wines. There were bunnies, and great views.

I bought too much wine, had a lot of fun with a some of the folks in the tasting rooms. When we got home I discovered that I really need to drink more, OR need to open a shop.

Perhaps I could invite some nice people up to the house ply them with wine and have our way with each other. Now that’s got possibilities!

After the last winery I had the navigation bitch look up  a gun store  I’ve been wanting to visit for a while. I’ve been looking at 1911s, perhaps another Sig in the 229 series, and picking up a shotgun. Yeah with what money? I ask myself that all the time.

It was a short hop even in 5:00 traffic. When I walked in the door I was dumbfounded!

I shouldn’t have waited. They had many, many, guns!

There were; Rifles, pistols, shotguns, old guns, new guns, used guns, new guns and tons of ammunition.

It was amazing, considering that many times if you want to see the wares of more than one or two manufacturers you end up driving to 3 or more gun stores. Typically these places are small and invariably don’t have what you’re looking for.

The exception being BassPro. However in their case you often can’t even GET to the counters to see what they’ve got.

This store was very different. This was like being in a candy store that had received a year of shipments all at once. It reminded me of home, and similar places I’d been to with my Dad. I haven’t seen anything like this since I left the deep South, and for it to exist in California is almost beyond belief.

Not that I’m complaining but I was surprised, pleased, and will be heading back.

Sometimes there can be too many choices but at least now I have a place that I can compare different models side by side.
