Today is Ash Wednesday, Feb. 14, the 45th day of 2018. There are 320 days left in the year. This is Valentine's Day.
Today's Highlights in History:
On Feb. 14, 1918, Russia converted from the Old Style Julian calendar to the New Style Gregorian calendar, "losing" 13 days in the process (for Russians, the day before was Jan. 31). The musical "Sinbad," starring Al Jolson and featuring the song "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody," opened on Broadway.
On this date:
In 1663, New France (Canada) became a royal province under King Louis XIV.
In 1778, the American ship Ranger carried the recently adopted Stars and Stripes to a foreign port for the first time as it arrived in France.
In 1849, President James K. Polk became the first U.S. chief executive to be photographed while in office as he posed for Matthew Brady in New York City.
In 1859, Oregon was admitted to the Union as the 33rd state.
In 1903, the Department of Commerce and Labor was established. (It was divided into separate departments of Commerce and Labor in 1913.)
In 1912, Arizona became the 48th state of the Union as President William Howard Taft signed a proclamation.
In 1929, the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" took place in a Chicago garage as seven rivals of Al Capone's gang were gunned down.
In 1949, Israel's Knesset convened for the first time.
In 1962, first lady Jacqueline Kennedy conducted a televised tour of the White House in a videotaped special that was broadcast on CBS and NBC (and several nights later on ABC).
In 1979, Adolph Dubs, the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, was kidnapped in Kabul by Muslim extremists and killed in a shootout between his abductors and police.
In 1988, Broadway composer Frederick Loewe, who wrote the scores for "Brigadoon," ''My Fair Lady" and "Camelot," died in Palm Springs, California, at age 86.
In 1990, 92 people were killed when an Indian Airlines passenger jet crashed while landing at a southern Indian airport.

Ten years ago: A former student dressed in black walked onto the stage of a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University and opened fire on a packed science class; the 27-year-old gunman killed five students before committing suicide. Republican campaign dropout Mitt Romney endorsed John McCain for the party's presidential nomination.

Five years ago: Double-amputee and Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, at his home in Pretoria, South Africa; he was later convicted of murder and is serving a 13-year prison term. Billionaire Warren Buffett agreed to buy H.J. Heinz Co. for $23.3 billion. American Airlines and US Airways announced an $11 billion merger that turned American into the world's biggest airline.

One year ago: Authorities lifted an evacuation order for nearly 200,000 Northern California residents living below the Oroville Dam after declaring that the risk of catastrophic collapse of a damaged spillway had been significantly reduced. A former store clerk was convicted in New York of murder in one of the nation's most haunting missing-child cases, nearly 38 years after 6-year-old Etan Patz (AY'-tahn payts) disappeared while on the way to a school bus stop. The Senate confirmed former wrestling entertainment executive Linda McMahon to lead the Small Business Administration. Rumor the German shepherd won best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club at New York's Madison Square Garden.

Not likely.  Got a bit of wrenching to do on my bike this afternoon.  Will be out of the office tomorrow afternoon, so most likely Friday before I get in a cigar.

Sometimes if it's simple and I'm taking my time, like a fluids change, but I have to remount my rear wheel after getting a new tire installed on it (had a flat on Saturday) plus a few other odds and ends while I'm at it.

All three, of course.

Brett, quick question for you, Glock, Sig Sauer, or Kimber?
If you're asking for a recommendation, then I have to ask what the intent is.  If you're considering a carry or general self-defense piece, then I say Glock.  They're more affordable, have an immense amount of support in the marketplace, and they eat whatever shitty ammo you can get your hands on.

I love 1911's, have one (1943 Colt), and will have more.  But I don't carry one for self-defense anymore because the more I train the more I realize I don't want to deal with external safeties or double-action triggers, I don't want the weight, and I want all the ammo in the gun that I can get.  So I choose striker-fired, polymer framed, double-stack weapons - namely Glock.

Sigs are fine weapons, and I own a P220 that is an utterly beautiful gun. But it's a DA/SA so I don't carry it for defense, and it cost almost twice what I paid for the Glock 23 I carry.  Sig makes striker-fired weapons, too, and they're great.  But they're overpriced for what they are...you're paying for the name. 

So if I can only have one gun, it's going to be a Glock 19 (9mm).  Easy to shoot, easy to conceal, affordable, durable, and easy to find parts and holsters for.  I could be almost as happy with the full-size Glock 17, but it's not as easy to conceal.

Since I don't have to settle for one gun, I actually carry the Glock 23 (.40S&W).  Same gun, but the forty hits harder and penetrates deeper than the 9mm or the .45ACP. 

But hey, if you're just jonesing for a 1911, get the Kimber and be happy.  Last thing you want is to drop a bunch of money on a gun that isn't what you really want. 

Some people say "shoot the one that's most comfortable and performs the best for you." I don't personally agree with that advice.  Get the gun you want, and then shoot it until you've made it your little bitch. 

That's my take.
