So, I never blog. It warms my heart when you guys email/comment to check in; I do appreciate that y’all think of me/the fam and wish us well.
I’m unsure of the future of PGB. I have come to despise politics at all levels. I am a much happier, more productive person when I’m not constantly gnashing my teeth over an irreparably broken system.
It’s nothing y’all don’t already know: Shit is going to hit the fan. Sorry, Mr. Franklin, we couldn’t keep the Republic. To be honest, I’m not really upset or fatalistic about this. I’m just always preparing, wishing/looking/ready for the Gulch, wondering what the next proper step is, hoping we get it right next time around. I know a lot of good folks and am confident me and mine will be just fine. If you’re here, reading this, chances are our interests overlap enough that you’re going to be okay, too. Humanity is going to move onward and upward, but I really don’t think the United States–as we know it now, anyway–is going along with it. I’m okay with this. I just have better things to invest my time in, these days, than doomed politics. I threw ‘em on the GROUND!
S’anyway, the P in PGB is kinda defunct, and then there’s that whole paleo/clean eating thing eliminating the B, as well. I’ll confess: I don’t have any problem giving up beer in the nine(ish) months of crappier weather. Beer is a summer vice. I’m hoping my present iteration of paleo/health/fitness will have taken hold well enough over this coming winter/spring that I’ll be able to hold off next summer’s beer cravings. (Or, at least hold myself to a sorghum beer or two–they don’t seem to wreck my world like gluten-based beers do. So sad.)
I’ve joked before that I oughta change the title to Aviation, Guns and Whiskey (the guns aren’t going anywhere, duh), but I’m not even sure that’s proper. To be honest, I didn’t intend for this to be a gun blog, and I never truly counted myself amongst the ranks of gun bloggers. They, good folk all, tend to be much more dedicated, focused, and on-point than I’ve ever been. However, since most of you wound up here via gun stuff, I went more in that direction because I wanted to cater to the audience I’ve found. As a result, I’ve skipped posting a lot of the little daily-life vignettes that make it to my FaceBook, ’cause all the funny-shit-my-kid/husband/roommate-says seems a bit out-of-place. I mean, I get that it’s my blog and I can post whatever the F I wanna post, but… I dunno. Like I said, different direction.
So, it’s certainly not a lack of appreciation for my readers, nor an utter lack of things to write about. I just renewed the domain for another year, too, so I’m not shutting down, or anything. I just don’t often find the stuff I’m up to worthy of or appropriate to be posting here. Maybe a new blog is in the works? Maybe I think too much?

Your "here is what I am changing to live better" posts are most interesting to me.
Do as you must! It's your blog. Just remember, you're one of my blog-moms (along with Brigid, Tam and Breda).
But, I read you first!
So, I will continue to read, wherever, whatever…
gfa
Another alternative to wheat beer is hard cider, my brother makes his own now. Big saving are to be had, plus the fun of drinking your own product.
We'll keep reading whatever you post L. Aviation is a good add to be sure, whiskey as well.
It’s your blog; write what makes you happy. If we like it, fine, if we don’t that’s ok too. Whatever you do, I doubt if you’ll lack readers.
If you combine shooting out of a helicopter as the aviation part then I am all for it. Just kidding. Do what interests you and you will never work a day in your life.
Write what you want, i will read it. I stop by daily just to see whats going on in your part of the world, I miss that part of the world so bad, moved from WA to Germany in 04(hey its a job!).
Be it about flight or guns or beer or politics, i dont care, write what you want, and when you want.
Can't speak for others but I read you because I appreciate you're point of view on any number of subjects. Twitter?
