Gucciflage

Second day at my new job. So, of course, I took off to help with the Final FTX at SWAT School. School seemed to be running smoothly, mad props to the cadre and congratulations to the graduates.
On a completely unrelated note: “Fumes” Dwyer painted up my little rifle in Full-Pimp Gucciflage® for the fall. I couldn’t be more pleased with the workmanship.

shoot with the boys

I got to go out and shoot with the boys today. Mike, knowing I would be there, was apparently afraid to show up with a rifle. I can’t blame him, but it would have been nice to have him there. I’m sure he needs the practice.
Bigfoot Dave even offered to take me to the movies, so it was a pretty good day. He later rescinded the offer when he found out I would have to wear running shorts. He’s fashion sensitive that way.

For those of you keeping up

For those of you keeping up with our driveway ordeal, here’s what happened at our meeting with the city council today: The City decided to drop the lawsuit and acquire our driveway in a more conventional manner. I still can’t figure out why they want it, but it looks like it’s getting settled in a normal and fair way. The money and stuff is good, but the best part was when our lawyer told them that we were, of course, aware that they had the power to just condemn the land anytime they wanted. ie. “We know that your city attorney duped you into wasting $30,000.00.” Haha.
We tried to add the condition that the city council had to line up and all take a punch, but they drew the line at that. Maybe next time.
