THE CZickness XLIX....Tackling 2023 with CZ style...

Not enough bourbon?

Not sure if that's the cause...but I'm going to try drinking more as the solution.

My dad always said if bourbon hasn’t fixed your problem, you’re using too small a dosage.

Had a small get-together at the Mother-in-laws tonight. I'm getting too old to stay out this late.

Happy New Year, CZ friends.

Ordered a new sear for the Sar K12.

$35 seemed like a cheap way to have peace of mind and an inexpensive lesson learned.

As I mentioned, I've been cleaning out the basement over the Christmas holiday. Tonight, I ran across a true treasure that I had forgotten even owning. While rearranging my reloading/cleaning room, I found the Hoppe's 9 gun cleaning kit that my father had given me back in the late 1970s. I've drug this kit around with me for decades, but have not actually used it since then. I've long since bought a lot of new kits, rods, fluids and stuff.

But, tonight, for the first time in nearly 30 years, I laid my hands on it and found that there's about a third of a bottle of Hoppe's 9 in the kit. I opened it and took a sniff of the exact stuff that I used to clean guns with alongside of my father. He's been gone about 20+ years. This is not similar stuff, but the same bottle probably last opened while cleaning guns with him. That bottle will hold a special place for me going forward. Over the years, I've always liked the smell of Hoppe's 9 as it reminded me of the past. This is the past.

Now, I'm going to go pour a healthy dose of bourbon and spend a bit of quiet time trying to remember the range trips that I made as a kid with my dad.

Happy New Years everyone!

Maybe you should back off on the ginseng tea. You look a bit shaky.

Happy New Year everyone.

First thing I saw was Walter White from breaking bad.

I took that photo for one of the many photo contests on POTN (photography on the net).
Obviously, it was a few years ago .... I'm gray-bearded now.

Just like it was yesterday… Great times. Anyone hear or see TopDog anymore?
