I travel all over the country with the job. The wife and I got married in Kauai and have been back a couple times since. Out of all the places I've been and things I've done, this week I'm on the best vacation I've ever had.
My Pops has been in poor health for the last couple years and been the hospital all but three weeks since Sept. 30th. Not going into details, but he's had some complications from an organ transplant. But this week, we got to bring him home. I flew out to Amarillo on Monday and spent the first day and a half in the hospital. We're at the house now and he's on the road to a full recovery.
He's a retired Airborne Ranger and one helluva fighter. The things he's been through in the last couple years would have beat any normal man. If I turn out to be half the man he is I'll consider myself blessed.
As soon as we got home he asked for a favor and I've been tasked with cleaning his firearms. It's no small job cause he's got a collection that puts mine to shame. There's about two dozen long guns ranging from a vintage M1a and a 30 Carbine to a Mak 90 and a Tech 9, all sorts of shotguns, and about a dozen pistols from Colt SAA and a 38-40 Cowboy revolver to his Sig 229. My mom figured she'd take advantage of the situation and brought in her Walther PPK (Interarms not S&W) and her Kel-Tec P32 for a good cleanin.
So, I'm hangin out with my folks, watching awesome movies that my Pop has missed like The Expendables, The Town, the A-Team and cleanin a bunch of really cool guns. I can't think of a better way to spend a week off. Well my wife couldn't come so, honey if you're reading this, it'd only be better if you were here, haha.
Just thought I'd share...
