It will need to be a long honeymoon, I haven't fired much of anything since June so I am likely VERY RUSTY. I know, "It's like riding a bicycle", but I am NOT a 'natural shot'--I need skill set refreshment with frequency when it comes to handguns. My 'shotgun eye' is a lot less perishable than my sideiron ability, and the rifle sharpness returns pretty readily. My first handgunning will involve the S&W 617 x 6" and Ruger 22/45 x 5.5" HB, both known tackdrivers with ammo they like. Then the K-32 (Model 16-4 x 6") and the SIG P-226 x 9mm. Those should put the edge back on the blade with an afternoon's work.
A larger question in the short-term will be my walking ability with the prosthetic. I am '7 days in' with the walking start-up, and things are proceeding slowly but well. Rome wasn't built in a day (I keep telling myself......), and I am sore as h--l from muscles unused for 3-1/2 months letting me know they miss being on hiatus. I can enter and exit Marie's Jeep pretty easily now, but haven't tried driving--nor have I tried getting my big nalgas into my F-250.
No doubt about it--people are leaving CA en masse. Most are leaving with cash in hand from sales of homes and businesses either pending or closed, and realtors in the destination states are cutting a fat hog with every sale to a California family that moves. AZ, NV, UT, ID, and TX have hot real estate markets exploiting these opportunities, which I am sure upsets long-time residents of these places who don't make enough money to afford homes in this hyper-inflated market. Maybe there is a two-tiered market--one price guideline for local folks, another for carpetbagger Californians. Today's return of the 586 was taken up with extended discussions of their 2-year search for housing in AZ, and the pitfalls encountered throughout that process. Not pretty, at all--a lot like finding 22 LR ammo during the recent shortage--a milieu of strippers, flippers, grifters, and victims. Not a buyer's market, by any means. I might have been born at night--but it wasn't LAST NIGHT.
