blooger list update

Ok, updated the list of folks I have met, with the exception of Zercool, for some reasion  I can't get blogger to add him to that list, but I can get it to add it to my blog list. . . .

Anyway sorry for the delay it has been a while since the shoot and it was great to meet you all  . . .

Old NFO was quite a surprise since we have a mutual friend in the Navy.  We got talking and it just came out . .  I was telling him of my friend Adam and asks if his last name was X . . . I said yep, went to high school with him.

Small world folks, never know who you will meet and who they may know. . .

Another storm goes bust

And so after all the hype about Irene and the end of the world nothing happened.  We go lots of wind, some rain, and the power actually flickered a bit and went out for a minute or so.  Long enough that we noticed then came back on.

This is the way it seems to always goes here.  The news folks hype it, use it to keep the real news off the air, and show us lots of film of reporters out getting rained on and blown around but nothing happens.

Now I know down south got more damage, but still not what they said they would. 

More BS and more proof that we don't have news any more, we have entertainment.  If we had news then we would be hearing about gun walker and the other problems with the Obama administration's, and about how they have failed to fix our economy, or get us back to work. . . . no, we get storm footage that shows nothing. . . .

North East Blogger Shoot

Had a great time this weekend at the 4th annual NE blogger shoot. . .

The oldest daughter and I went up for a day at the secret range to see friends, and try out lots of guns and overall have a great time.

Got to shoot a semi auto 1919. . . that was cool.  And an automatic belt fed .22  - fun and no recoil. . . and I got a good photo of me with a recoilless rifle. . .

the killer for the day was the 3" turkey shot loads. . .. in 12 ga. . .. OUCH.  I can still feel that one.

Many others have much better reviews, but let me just say it was a great way to spend the day. . . .

HOT

It was still 102F at 6:30 tonight. . . . arrrgh. . .

Should break soon though.

Hot in MA

You know it will be a bad day when it is 7AM, the temp is already 77F and when you get out of the car and the AC you glasses fog up so you can't see. . . . .

Sons of Guns

Watching the new season and I have to say I still love this show.  The folks are real, they do great work and make cool stuff.

a 1000 yard AK?  that is just wrong. . . but they are doing it. .  .

Sons of Guns

It's back for season two. . .

Right now. . . . .

On Discovery. . . .

WOO HOOO

Happy 4th Folks

Happy Birthday America!

Spent last night at the Magic Kindom in Disney watching the fire works and it cool to see so many folks go nuts for the 4th.

Tonight it is off to the Disney studiios for the real show.

And on a side note, Happy Birthday Dad. . . been six years but we still miss ya.

Don't buy a Kohler toilet

At least not if you ever want to replace the seat. .  .

Took me four trips to the local hardware store and an Internet search to find out that you can't replace a broken seat on these.  You need their special tool since you can't get to the back of the bolt to take it off. . .

So after an afternoon of back and forth, I cut the seat off, broke the bolts loose, and ended up getting a new seat and mounting it with the biggest anchors I could find and the bolts from the new seat.  It works but what a pain.

I will NEVER by another Kohler toilet.  Talk about a bad design. . .  and for the price I paid them. . . . just pisses me off.

And I learned that all the innered are special and pricey too. . .
