Back in Pocket.

Just getting home. It was 79, sunny and humid when we left Grand Cayman at 4 p.m. island time. It's much much colder here. Aside from some horrendous head winds, rough ride, and icing on the way into home, it was a good flight. I'm completely spent. Just wanted to say I made it home in one piece.

Out of Pocket.

I'm getting ready for a 5 day trip starting tomorrow. My job being my job, every now and then we get a "paid" vacation to somewhere nice. This trip sends us to the Caribbean. Yeap, that's right. I get to spend a nice weekends relaxing on the beaches of Grand Cayman with the Caymanites Caymanonians Caymanists Caymantans Islanders.

Apparently, Thanksgiving is a November tradition only in the U.S. or October, if you're Canadian.

So, I'll be soaking up the sun alone while you all are shivering away in your homes with your turkey and stuffing and ham and cranberry sauce and pumpkin pies and warm bread and yams with the mini marshmallows (mmmmm....) all the while surrounded by friends, family and loved ones.

Leave it to me to find the cloud in that silver lining.

Pet(?) Peeves

Cleaning out the dryer lint trap.

Huh? You say. Here's the deal. I live in an apartment complex and they don't have hookups for washer/dryers in the apartments. So, I, like all my fellow complex dwellers use a laundromat of some sort. Now, when I do my laundry and unload my clothes from the dryer, the last thing I do is clean the lint trap for the next person. You can't know how much I hate to load a dryer and check the lint trap and find someone else's fur. Because, while some of my complex-mates have pets and the lint trap catches that fur. Usually, it isn't fur...

Sometimes a Picture is All You Need.

Abby over at Bad Dogs and Such, my intrepid daily read from The Sandpit, has a picture up today that says more about the state of affairs over there than all the MSM, congresscritters, and moonbats in the San Fran area combined.

Hurrah for the good guys (and gals).

Interesting story

Old NFO has an interesting story up. Read it. Good food for thought.

Lolcat of the day.

Oh come on! That's funny. Tell me you didn't laugh.

Friday mind game.

I know it's early for this. But, I feel I must push you further into that madness that will allow me to rule the world. My throats a little sore, so no evil laugh today. Mommy's making me chicken noodle soup.

AR build update.

Old_NFO made a comment on my build blog about the EOTech 516. I've looked into it and read any info I could find on the model and the batteries it uses. I'm sold. Change my holosight to the 516 from the 512. I've talked with many people around here about NV (night vision) compatibility. I haven't found one yet that has actually used the feature. If there's anyone out there that has actually used the NV feature, please pipe up and let me know.



Thanks Jim.

See what happens when you're out of touch.

Apparently I'm being credited with the most popular candidate ticket in the last 50 years.

No, I say. NO. I am not the author of this most insightful and, dare I say, ingenious political pairing.

I merely gave voice to the great gestalt that is the hip and oh so now trendy group of in crowd that is us. Or Gun Nuts, if you will.

Besides, she's already promised me the chair of the Department of Claw-hammer.
