Looks just polished to me...
Back to my snaky friend, I got the pellet gun out just in case it is venomous, but I haven't seen him since I got it..... Animal Control is the Sheriff department out here, and I don't really care for my brothers Assistant Scout Master showing up at my house.... And yes, that is what he does, animals and theft of animals.
I'm building the trap, I sent my dad the shopping list for it and now I'm poking likely hiding places every 10 minutes or so...

I workout about an hour, 5 days per week. Chest on Monday, back Tuesday, legs Wednesday, shoulders and traps Thursday, and arms on Friday. I used to work out 6 days per week, hitting every body part twice per week, but, I'm not young anymore. Nice to have the whole weekend off too. I mix my workouts up, but do those body parts on the given days. I've always kind of gone by the rule, anything works, but nothing works for long.
Swam for an hour tonight. I barely used my legs, so my shoulders were doing most of the work. I can go swimming anytime I want, any time of year. My father in law lives 3 miles away, and has a nice heated indoor pool. I should take advantage of it, but I don't.
BTW, on a different note, I ordered the JetBeam BA10 tonight, $25 shipped. The Fenix LD10 I ordered hasn't even come in yet, haha.
It was acid washed and chlorine soaked

To combat post work "should I workout" debate, I try my best to hit it during my lunch break at work. I'm not important enough to miss at work if I'm gone longer than the typical hour. I occasionally tryto do an evening workout, but I get the evil eye from the girls.

so. 22 pistols. there are many. many of them are "not bad". 22s were figured out a long time ago.
"can't go wrong with a Ruger Mark I/II" imho. i don't like the Mark III - too many fiddling safety pieces. bah. keep it simple.
difficulty. they're really simple to assemble and disassemble. READ THE MANUAL. there are some videos which show you how. if an 8 yo can master it, you can
tip: use a 9mm or so bullet case to pull that frakking lever up. or use a piece of nylon line or even a paper clip. anything but your thumbnail.
assembly: follow the directions. my dad couldn't, so i, a that 8 yo, ended up cleaning the damn thing. which is good, as i still have that gun. the manual is online if you don't have one.
though, these days, there are many very good choices in 22 pistols.
i like the old high standards. you can find them a lot of places. better than Buckmarks imho. also better than the S&W model 41 which have a stupid spring that sometimes fails, but also, cheap, so... the high standard super trophymatic is actually 8 ounces heavier than a typical 1911 pistol
talk about stable platform.
sig mosquito - avoid
sig trailside though? that's a rebadged hammerli - that's badass. i LOVE the hammerli ipsc 22 target pistol. accurate as *hell*. wow.
the newish Ruger SR 22 iirc is a good look semi-auto for many purposes. don't have one, but i'm thinking about it "down the road" (esp used).
for training, newbies, you want something easy, light, and friendly. a 7 shot revolver, where you can control how many rounds, and how many dummies, makes a GOOD choice for folx learning to not flinch, and hold rock steady. some of them also can shoot .22 WMR for fun
one of the reasons revolvers tend to be very accurate - no moving parts in the barrel line - it's integral to the frame. unlike say, glocks, and such where everything is jiggity. same reasoning behind target 22s. the barrel is typically monolithic to the frame as well. the SLIDE moves, and so do the rounds into chamber, but nothing else. again, compare to a glock. gah. it's wonder they work (they do, but still).
accuracy. with the right gun, and right round, SMALL groups at 50 yds is quite doable. if you can teach that, you can then learn anything else with confidence
imho

So if anyone remembers the stubborn screw on my 2 sheath that I posted about earlier, well it's preventing me from carrying my 2 Scout style. I let some WD-40 soak in over-night and that did nothing.
Now, my theory: The screw rusted to the nut.
Reasoning behind my theory: When I turn the screw, the nut spins with it.
Any other ideas? I was not able to find any needle nose pliers, I know, totally lame and illegitimate, but true.
Edit: K9, while I want to try snake meat, this one I want to release back into my yard (or the neighbors where it's safer) if at all possible.

Thanks Bladite that was very informative. I want to make sure I start on the right pistol. It's too bad I live in SoCal and a CCW for me is not likely going to happen.

Made stuffed peppers earlier for lunch. Stuffed em with ground turkey and cooked brown rice mixed with parmesan, salt, and pepper. Topped with homemade marinara and more parmesan. One has an onion with it that was baked in the sauce with the peppers to add onion flavor (for my girlfriend, I don't like eating onions just how they taste).

Damn you, now I'm hungry, and I can't cook decent looking meals...... Just damn you. Now if you don't mind I'm gonna go chug a gallon of milk and inhale a few cans of Chef Boyardee.

Those look pretty darn tasty RB. I had them for the first time about a month ago. The gf used ground beef and a spanish rice mix of some sort. They were pretty good and I'd definitely eat them again.
