What's a normal day for me????.....
Well,
5AM up for work
5:30-6:45am Drive an hour to work
6:45am-3PM Ride around doing patrols and answering calls.
3pm-4:15pm Drive home.
4:15p-6p- Dinner prep and dinner
6p-8p- Family time- usually a movie or a board or card game
8p-9p Shower and prepare for bed and work next morning
9p-5a- Blessed sleep broken by cats with zoomies or bathroom stops.
Weekends are have a lie-in until 7am!!! Then do some light housekeeping. Lots of Hot coffee(Folgers) with Caramel Macchiato creamer and then Sweet iced tea after 11am. That being finished will find me either working on my book, working on a painting, target practice, or vegging on the sofa until I fall asleep(usually several times) before finally dragging myself to the bathroom for a quick shower and heading to my actual bed which is as soft as a heavenly cloud!!
On Sundays I cook a family dinner attended by whichever family members can attend on any given Sunday.
I lead a FABULOUS life!!!!

Target practice, eh? What's your weapon of choice? Pics of both the toy and your marksmanship prowess, please.
At work. So no pic right now, but my baby is a Glock 17 and at last qualifying I was passed as Expert Marksman again. 😊
Nice! I use a G34 for my competition shooting. Tell me about your qualifying process. How many rounds? Time limit? Distance?
different distances- 30 ft/20/10.... 6 rounds each distance.. I don't know the time limit but my time was around 17 seconds for each distance. I been doing this for 42 years now. Old Hat. :)
Didnt they discontinue the G34 last year? Good thing you have it- I predict it will become a collectors item someday. They did it because more lightweight weapons are more popular, but I personally don't like a lightweight weapon. It make me feel like it will be insufficient power...plus if it's lightweight you can barely tell the difference in real and toys. No Thank You.
Oh wow... I hadn't heard the G34 is discontinued.
My sticking point with lightweight weapons revolves more around felt recoil. A heaver gun will absorb more shock, which reduces recoil and allows for faster target reacquisition.
Dang, them thar was some big boy words!! I totally agree tho, My 17 is about as much as I can safely handle- and I know it. It's not the loudest thing I've ever used,- that would be my sisters revolver- don't ask what kind- I have no idea- just ran in the house and yelled "Hand me a weapon" and hers was closest. Damn Groundhogs. ( They have made tunnels under the back corners of the Big House and we're afraid it's starting to cause some issues.) I was reawakened to the repercussions of not wearing ear protectors as soon as I pulled the trigger tho. My ears still ring to this day... two years later.
Ah, see, now you're bringing in another variable... the size of the round. My favorite caliber is the 9mm. I'm good with a .45. I can comfortably shoot a .357, but I will admit that I don't enjoy the recoil once we get there, unless it's a heavy gun with a relatively long barrel. I had a friend with a .357 snub nose revolver, and IMO, it was worthless. High recoil + low accuracy made it totally impractical.
