We'll see you next year then. Get well soon.

Here are my two new toys: a couple of Sig P226 Legions.

It worked, lifted my spirits. But Mrs. 400m just pulled up here in an ambulance for the same reason I’m here.

Keep ‘em coming boys, at least she gets to kiss her husband at midnight.

Jeez, that's not good.
All I've got is some very big cookies. You guys get better and I'll get you the recipe.

Get well soon!

My brother and SIL send me one of these every year around Christmas time.


Very good, especially when moistened with bourbon. They’re Baptists, so I don’t mention that part.

Wishing y’all a safe and full recovery !!

Oh geez...

My best wishes for her quick recovery, too.

My wife and I both got hit with the Wu Flu. First me, three weeks ago, Sunday, then her, five days later. It didn't rough me up too badly, but it has been particularly unkind to my wife. She does seem to finally be improving a bit, though.

Well, at least your spirits are high

I don't have any additional 2021 acquisitions to post up, but I do have this, which I just picked up from my 1911 smith, and its story:



Kimber had done an odd thing with this barrel. They'd reverse-crowned it, which is Very Cool, but they left a raised rim around the outside circumference of the muzzle. Every time I cleaned the gun I'd have to take a patch and run it around and around the inside of that rim several times, with my finger nail, to get all the crud out.

It was annoying. Very annoying.

I had my 1911 smith mill that stupid rim off

I'm sorry to learn you are stuck in bed. Here's a Nightforce optic I bought this year. It's not very shiny though.

Sorry to hear it 400m I hope you both recover quickly and get home tomorrow for a really Happy New Year.

Even w/o pictures .. I'd like to wish you and mrs400 a speedy recovery and the best possible New Years!

No pictures to post brother (although we did get a new Beretta Bobcat) …

But I wish you well and a happy new year !

I hope you both recover quickly!

Here are a couple pics of what 2021 brought me and my family: We built and finished our new home and I finally got my truck!

Get well soon for the both of you.
Nothing new or shiny for me. I did get a case of the covid on Christmas night and tested positive on Tuesday. I've got a mild case but it is hard trying to keep the wife and kids from catching it.
Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Thanks for all the well wishes. It helps the day go by. Happy new year SF members!

Happy New Year to you and Mrs. 400m!

My prayers and best wishes for you and your wife and family.


.

Happy New Year! I hope and pray you get better soon!

No new firearms or related things here to post pictures of. Just wishing you and yours a Happy New Year.
Sorry to hear that your wife got Covid, wishing you both a speedy, and complete recovery.

Happy New Year, 400m! Hope you get better soon and you're back to shooting in no time!

Sorry to hear that both you and your wife are laid up in the hospital, but glad that you're well enough to post! Both my parents got hit by the 'vid pretty hard this year, but thankfully they both pulled through. Stay up and moving as much as you can...keep air flowing through your lungs!

As to shiny stuff...I started looking through my flikr account and realized that 2021 was a really good year for firearms acquisitions. But more importantly, I had some awesome times with my family. I got diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a couple of months back, and while I'm getting all the changes from that figured out, I've gained a much greater appreciation for stuff that I used to take for granted. So instead of posting a bunch of gun pics (don't worry, I'll still sneak in a few), I'll share a few of some stuff we got to do and see together this year as a family:

A 4 day backpacking trip in Dolly Sods, WV with my younger brother:



Family vacation in Utah and Arizona:








Backpacking trip just me and my wife in the Bighorns in Wyoming:






A canoe camping trip with me and my son at Craig Lake in Upper Peninsula, MI:




A 3 day hiking trip with my brother and son and Mohican State park in Ohio:




Shooting 500 yard steel with a Garand at my buddy's grandpa's farm, with my son:





And the Enfield SMLE that I bought last week for my son. It's been a fun project together so far...he's going to have to learn to reload for it, and hopefully there are some good times together shooting it to come in 2022!
