Ammunition for 9-mm Parabellum

9-mm Luger ammo has been almost impossible to find since the president and the democrats made their big move for gun control.  Obuma accounts for doubling NRA membership and absolute record ammunition and firearm sales every year since he was first elected, and it doesn't look to stop.  People are loading up, there are survivalists appearing, and all kinds of crazy stuff.  Anyway, Recob's had a stack, but limited sales to 4 boxes, so I purchased 4 for $ 14.99 each, which isn't really a bad price compared to what you'll find out there IF you can even find any.  I want to shoot my pistol at the range this summer, and now I've got 4 boxes I can burn off if I feel like it.  Added to the 12 that I got with purchase of the gun, years ago, I feel I can go to the indoor range when my friends want to, and shoot some groups, get some practice.

Level 2 Fishing: Perch Lake, Sparta, WI

Level 2 Fishing Outing -- Perch Lake, Sparta, WI

I got a call from a friend, Anna, on the road asking to meet for a couple hours of fishing and visiting so we chose the dam emptying Perch Lake in Sparta.  It was an opportunity for me to grab my Browning 510 open-faced spin-reel and give it a test, which went well.  The trip was made Level 2 right away by a huge carp or sucker leaping out of the water in the middle of the lake, but other than that, we were not there at a good time for panfish or perch to bite.  No hits on little French spinners, little daredevils, etc. Or crappie tidbits on little hooks.  We were just fooling around, not too serious at all.  Just fun.
