Welcome to Reality Television, Dude!

My friend Caleb Giddings at Gun Nuts Media got voted off the island on Top Shot last night, but you can still follow his Quest for Master Class over on DRTV. Don’t worry, Caleb…you’re safe on our island! In all honesty, I’ve sorta lost interest…they’re doing some cool stuff, but it seems to move with glacial slowness. I’d have edited it a different way, but that’s a Jealous Executive Producer talking!

Anyhow, not much going on yet this AM. Did a long hike with Alf the Wonder Beagle yesterday — she’s getting her strength back after her paw injury. Speaking of “glacial slowness,” stitched some more on my Taylor’s Model 3 rig belt…believe me, hand-stitching a double-layer gunbelt causes one to have fantasies about sewing machines, even ancient ones.

I also sketched out my next project, a leather pouch for the Ruger LCP and other small semiautos. If it works out as well as I hope, I’m going to pass it on to my friends at Ted Blocker and see if they want to offer a version. Of course, the speed at the speed I do leatherwork projects (slightly slower than the speed at which I write new books), it’ll be done when the glaciers start moving south. I’ll post pixs of the Taylor’s rig when it’s finished…

I’m going to spend the week working with a double-barreled shotgun and see how that feels. If I’m not a complete monkey with it, I’ll try it in a club cowboy match this weekend. If I like it, I’ll start shopping for a good solid double for me to abuse to death.
