Picked up this little gem over the weekend and have already put it to good work. We’ve been wanting one for some time, and we found a great deal on this 2024 model that we just couldn’t pass up.
No more lifting the garbage cans up into the truck and no more long walks down to the gun range. The little bed on the back is larger than it looks and has already hauled a load to the burn pile and it even came with a snow plow attachment.
Now to get the garage more organized so I can keep it out of the elements during the winter.
I’m very proud to be an American, but California is not a free state. I know many of you couldn’t care less about the 2nd Amendment, but I do. My constitutional rights are being infringed and no one seems to care about it.
Now, I don’t want to get off on a rant here, but like it or not, I enjoy shooting. It’s fun and owning a firearm adds an extra layer of protection for me and my family. But this state has taken all that away from me.
Forget the restrictions on which handgun I can purchase, how often I can purchase a firearm, or the fact that I have to wait ten days to take home a firearm I’ve purchase, whether it’s my first gun or my 100th. Add in the fact that for the past five years I haven’t been allowed to ship ammunition to my home, I can’t have a functioning magazine release in my AR-15s, and I can’t purchase magazines that hold more than ten rounds.
As if that wasn’t enough, California passed a law that went into effect on the first of this year that prevents me from shipping to my home, ANYTHING that attaches to my firearms. I can’t buy a barrel, stock, trigger, safety selector, not even a magazine coupler. How in anyway can this be considered legal?
Why aren’t people losing their shit over this?
Imagine if they put these sorts of restrictions on your right to free speech. There is no difference here! The 2nd Amendment is not a second-class right, but yet it’s treated as such. The California legislature knows they are passing laws that violate our rights, but they also know they control the courts and can tie up our appeals for literally decades.
And the worst thing about all this… There’s not a damn thing I can do to change anything.
Although the Supreme Court has finally agreed to take up a few key cases, we won’t see any judgment for another year, and then California will again defy the Supreme Court and enact more legislation to impede our rights even further.
I love this state and the area where I live, but I’m done with all this mess. I’m looking forward to our time traveling away from this state and seeing what the other states have to offer.

The Golden Chain Theatre can-can girls kicked off the annual Raymond Parade with high-stepping enthusiasm and a fierce determination to defy both gravity and the local gravel roads.
Flashing layers of ruffled petticoats and an impressive amount of feathery lace right in front of the historic General Store, the spirited troupe high-kicked so vigorously that several local mules paused mid-procession to reevaluate their own life choices.
Between the synchronized grunts, flying sequins, and the sheer acoustic power of ruffled skirts swishing at high noon, the gold rush era dancers proved that cardiovascular endurance is the true legacy of the Sierra foothills.
It was a glorious, high-energy spectacle of feathers, lace, and sheer determination that left the crowd cheering and the local farm animals deeply confused.
In celebration, my youngest daughter carved these awesome stamps to give out to friends and family. Yup, the Shockleys just love bears… although maybe not so much when they get into our garbage cans.
What are you doing to celebrate this momentous global event?
