Went down to Whitehall to put a clutch in a John Deere G, and pick up half a hog from Falls Meat Market. Owner of the meat market talked to me about 20 minutes about hunting, the election, how busy he was and how long since he had a day off. No mention of OC 226, which is hard to miss.

Went to Whitehall to put clutch in at Harvest Home Farms, a Christian organization we support. They were having a board meeting and I was invited to lunch. Hog came from here. 3 board members, from Rib Lake, Minnesota and somewhere else in WI. I asked owner if he cared if I carried in his house, he knows, and said no problem. Wi guys were gun people, MN guy never owned one but was not anti. Had a nice lunch and talked some about guns, the election, WI school district administrators, and the election.

Headed home, stopped at Kwik Trip in Osseo for gas. Held the door for a woman going in. She said, "It makes me REALLY happy to see you CONCEALED CARRYING, it makes me feel safe."

I said thanks, but I am OPEN CARRYING, if I was concealed it would be hidden. We talked for about two minutes, I think she felt kind of silly about it, but no big deal was made. Used bathroom, came
Out behind a guy who was walking real slow down the aisle, kind of dawdling with no intent. I'm a fast walker and hate being behind plodders. Got to the end of the aisle and the same woman yells at him, GET OUTTA THE MANS WAY!!! Said have a good day and left.

My wife would have gotten an earful if she talked to me like that in public. Otherwise, a good day except I didn't get anything done at home.

One way to solve your problems at home is to take them with you as you go about your every day business.

Even better, take your problems with you and leave them somewhere else!! ��

We just put a metal roof on our house, so I have some trash to pick up, leaves to rake, two guns to clean from LAST Saturday, and and a desk that is a mess! Plus, dog walking
And watching the Packers get creamed!
