I Got a Gun

Well I did it! I finally bought a gun and did not even ask my wife’s permission. It must be a man thing. How exciting, I loaded a clip into the magazine, took aim and pulled the trigger. It was astounding, the recoil, the deafening noise, the unbelievable feeling of testosterone coursing throughout my entire body. The shear power and explosive forces that pierced three inches of solid wood was indescribable. I squeezed off a few more bursts with remarkable precision. I couldn’t stop until the magazine was empty. I’ve never felt so proud; I stepped back and surveyed the situation. Each and every projectile hit the bull’s-eye with amazing accuracy.

Frame nailers are the greatest. Tim “the tool man” Taylor would be green with envy. My new nail gun is soooooo cool. I nailed every board exactly where I wanted it.

Well, its time to role up the air hose and put away the air compressor. Tomorrow will be a good day to finish the fascia and the soffits.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for a wonderful day.
Thanks for a house with a roof that does not leak.
And thanks for the new Hardie-board siding and trim.
Please watch over me so I don’t shoot myself in the foot.

Amen

  1. Must say - I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized it wasn't a real gun. Love you and your new nail gun!
