    Old, Fat and Happy

    Retired, but still working part time for one of my sons in real estate, rental properties and auctions. Mostly work 2 or 3 days a week. Love 1911 type firearms, with 2 45s, 4 9mm and 1 22lr. Two of the 9s are and EMP and EMP 4. Nice to be around other folks who love the 1911.
