I see.

I made it into town, helped my friend do some shopping, did some of my own, and set a few things up.  I found everything, by brand, at about the same price, for cleaning the guns.  The only thing I couldn't find was a specific degreaser and a specific gun grease.  After several hours of shopping, though, and a meal, I think we were both a bit too worn out to mess with his machine.  It sounds like there is a printer problem, something to figure out next time I am in.  I want to get the system windowed too.  He is stuck in the Win 8 monstrosity, and can, sort of, get around.  But it's an ugly stupid thing that really needs to be fixed.  He shouldn't have to hope he can remember how to get to the internet, or hope that email is something he catches, before being distracted by a mistake and having to just... think of something else to do, something he hadn't intended but... it's there and he lost his train of thought. 

It is good to get out once in a while.  Later this week, I told him, I should be back.  If the weather clears we will get out shooting next week.  He has a pistol, maybe two, that he hasn't gotten to shoot yet.  I should have the ak in order by then, and I'd like to try the 30 round mags for the 9mm.  I'm sure they will work just fine.  I guess it's the novelty of having to not load as often.  With three of those, and one of the tens, that's two boxes of ammo, in the hand, ready to shoot.  I would love to get the .22 Henry out.  That thing... you just can't miss with it.  But the ammunition is impossible to find and it's one thing I can't reload.  My guess is that even .22 reloaders have problems finding components.  Yeah, there are some who have that equipment.  But that is for extreme shooters, in a specialty niche.

Later.
