It's Friday, Craig!

The first beer is being cracked...(wait for it!) NOW!! 

The weekend has begun!  Have some fun filled days planned, unfortunately no shooting is involved, might get to shoot a match the 2nd weekend of July. 

Temp here in the Carolinas topped 103 by my car temp.  Drinking beer is allowed at any time of day as long as the temp is above 95 degrees.  This is the reason I don't live in Arizona or Mexico, I can't afford the beer. 

Next week is bachelor week, therefore the posts will be flowing.  Get pumped for some good stuff! 

Enjoy the weekend, stay cool and hydrate often (preferably with beer)

Open Carry

I agree with this in principal, however I also side with the officer. I suggest that you comply with the laws in your state regarding this interaction. The cops just want to get home to their families

Where is the bottle opener

Wow...this is awesome, it looks like it is missing the TV remote

TPS Reports...Mid-life crisis edition

If you haven't learned through reading all of my ramblings, I dislike my job.  Its not really any particular part of the job, I just really want a job that I actually enjoy doing.

I am currently experiencing a late 20's early 30's midlife crisis.  This crisis is not brought on by lack of schooling or not being good at the jobs I have done. 

I attribute this to our current school system.  The current model is that you go to school and then college, you graduate and get a job that pays well.  Sounds awesome right?  Well it is if you don't give a shit about what kind of job you will enjoy. 

I graduated school, went to college, got a degree and went to work.

The results-

Job #1 - Not too bad, but not mentally stimulating - Hard labor
Job # 2 - OK, but don't like the job - Sales
Job # 3 - Not a fan, but the money is great - More sales in same field


So I have arrived at the idea that I need to do quantum physics while welding! 

Any suggestions?

Also if there are any publishers out there I have a great idea for a book based on this blog post...I could become a writer, while welding.

Slack ass / Krystal madness

I am a slacker, I had a wedding this weekend in which I got a bit on the loose side.  That and then a 6.5 hour trip back on Monday, and back to work with an event last night has left me with less time than I anticipated.  Until y'all start clicking my ads, I am forced to work. 

On the bright side, I did get some Krystal last night, was it delicious?  No!  Why would someone be so cruel as to put a Krystal on the side of I-85?  This is fare that should only be enjoyed whilst drunk as balls, needless to say as I was driving, I was not drunk as balls.  But it did conjure fond memories as I ate a chili cheese pup.

I will be back on the blogging tomorrow.

300 Views! Free Computer

Holy hell!  I have surpassed 300 views!  I would like to thank the academy, http://gunblogblacklist.blogspot.com/, and Ace for all the comments.  This is a great way for me to waste time and hopefully entertain a few people with my rants and raves. 

At 300 views I look back at my audience and I would like to ask WHTRG (where have the russians gone)?  My views 100-200 were mostly from the USSR, not sure why I am popular over there but beggars can't be choosers.  Actually, I am a chooser and a beggar, and I want to know why the rooskies no longer view my blog.  I did pick up a viewer from Indonesia.  

On my way to 400 views, please feel free to suggest topics, rants, or anything that you will find amusing.  That being said, if you don't suggest anything, I take that to mean that everyone loves my ramblings. 
Your welcome.


I was going to put up some badass video, but my computer is a piece of shit and almost crashed as I was putting this up.  Click the ads and help me get a new free computer!

400 views is going to be one hell of a video, I promise.

In Russia, blog writes you!

Taco Belle

Why is it that Taco Belle sounds so delicious when heard, not spoken but whispered with the fear that merely uttering its name will cause it to disappear. 

I call it Taco Belle because it is a very fickle bitch, it looks and sounds delicious but much like a southern belle it is never a good as you dream it is.  Taco Belle is that crazy ass bitch that everyone is scared to even talk about.  "yeah, I want 22 tacos with fire sauce" is never uttered by a sober person, mostly because they have the ability to remember how shitty their last experience was at Taco Belle. 

I really wouldn't mind 8 tacos and a nacho supreme, if anyone is going.

Tacos Rule!!!

How to solve the global hunger problem

There are starving people in America; you have seen it on TV, read it in the papers, hell even your parents told you about the starving people in china. 

Well here is an idea, kill all the damn canadian geese in NC and you could feed the nation for at least 6 months.  Holy shit, I saw at least 60 today at one lake.

 If I were a homeless person, I could eat like a king.  I know that killing an animal out of season is illegal, but why adhere to the DNR's rules when your smoking crack.  That may be the problem all together, there are starving people in America but they just don't know it cause they are high on crack.

Its called not being a douche

Caleb addresses reporting issues during matches

No one likes a tattle tale, especially when playing a game.  Coming from a sports background, if the ref doesn't see it then it didn't happen.  Coming from a golf background, call you own damn penalties...its called integrity.

Shooting sports are much more akin to golf than a normal sport, you have to call your own fouls even if the SO/RO misses it.  The best part about these sports is that you learn a lot about yourself.  So call the foul if you want, but if you don't you're a douche.



I wish there was a counter I could install that would register every instance of douche.

Gun Toys

Some lube to get your through shooting a case of tulammo  Slipstream.

As a side note, makers of slipstream feel free to send me some to review.  I am still waiting for Bud Light to send me a free case to review.

Why does all this crap happen in NC

Well written piece by Tam  Uh, because it's wrong

Why does the crap like this always seem to be happening in NC.

Goober Vests / IDPA Practice cont.

I will have to admit, the goober vest performed well last night at practice. It has certain weight and movement that worked much better than the open shirt I had been wearing.  It didn't do crap for the lack of A/C at the range, it was hot as hell...I was sweating like a whore in church. 

I maintain that I probably looked like a douche while wearing the damn thing. 

Shooting went well, just wish I didn't have to drive 45 min just to practice.  I am cool driving a distance for a match, but just to practice is a pain in the butt. 

Scores were -1, -10 (that was shooting as fast as possible) and a -3.  I am happy with my progress and plan on keeping up with the sport.  Any sponsors looking for a newbie to add to their team?


note: If you are trying to figure out the goober vest thing please refer to the previous IDPA Practice post

IDPA Practice

Gonna hit the range tonight to try out my new goober vest for IDPA.  I tried to rationalize the vest as being just a tool for the matches, but still find it a little gooberish just looking at it in my range bag. 

What really hit home was when I was at the Bass Pro this weekend with the wife and little redneck, saw a dude rocking the vest in public.  Maybe when I am 65 and just don't give a shit anymore I will start wearing the vest in public.  Until then, don't wear concealment vests in public.  Not only do you look like you are carrying concealed, you look like a douche. 

Also another milestone in my blogging adventure, this is the first documented time I have used the word douche...not to be the last.

Also if anyone would like to give me money I will be happy to whore myself out and call people a brand name douche.  (ex: you look like a Summer's Eve Douche)  I feel that it would get me ready for a transition into Nascar.

Go the F to sleep

I never understood the hype behind the book "Go the F*** to Sleep".  I appreciated it for the vulgarity, which is pretty f'ing cool, and they fact that Sammy L. Jackson narrated it on You Tube.

Until now... having a child I have reached the point where I completely understand what the book is about. How the hell can a child that hasn't slept for 5-6 hours not take a nap, I'm not talking about a 5 year old, I'm talking about a 10 month old who naps every 3-4 hours on like its her job.  She has all the signs of needing a nap, but you lay her down and nothing. 

As I write this, I realize how old I am and that I have transformed from the guy who used to bitch about the beer not being cold enough, to the old man who bitches about the kid who is not napping and is going to ruin bedtime and she will be crabby for the rest of the afternoon (shit yea that was a hell of a run-on sentence, grammar be damned!!). 

I now join the legions of people understanding why this book is so damn good, cause sometimes you just want to scream " GO THE F*** TO SLEEP!!!"

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's day to all the Dads out there.  This is my first one and it has been awesome, the wife and little one cooked me a kick ass breakfast then we went to Bass Pro Shops. What more could a man ask for?

I have one suggestion...a Kimber 1911?

General Lee - Space Edition

Check this out!

(h/t to uncle)

Dude calls 911 for sammich

So this guy calls 911 on the sandwich shop.  Really?  My question is can you blame him? 

I'm not taking the high road here and saying the guy should have just left, not bought the sandwich or just eaten the damn thing.

You want to know why? 

Cause I have been to a McDonalds in the last 2 weeks and the service level at most relatively fast restaurants sucks hind tit.   I ordered a f'ing sausage egg and cheese mcmuffin and a hash brown, how do you screw that up?  I know! You let the moron that took 5 minutes to enter what should be a "normal" order.  But NO! 

The people behind the counter at McDs create a strong case for Darwinism and don't even get me started on how they f you in the drive through, way to set the service bar just slightly above shitty.

And every damn time I say that I will never return, but guess what?  ITS THE ONLY DAMN PLACE OPEN ON SUNDAY MORNING AT 7:00AM.  Shit on Chick-fil-a for not being open on sunday, I know its a religious thing but I need a biscuit and some GD customer service.


Chick-fil-a is the only fast food chain that hires people who might actually make it.


So good for you Rother McLennon, tell those little bastards behind the counter to give you "um little um, turkey, and little um ham and a lot of cheese and a lot of mayonnaise" or you are going to call the 5-0!

Straight up Bacon!

Has anyone tried the Burger King bacon sundae?  If so, please let me know if it is a good as it looks. Bacon makes everything better, apparently even ice cream.

100th post

In celebration of my 100th post, I'm gonna drink some beers tonight. 

I was going to post some kick ass video, but all I could find was some crazy Brits kicking each other in the shins.  It is actually a sanctioned sport in Britain, those are some crazy bastards.  I think that is the only other good thing to come out of the UK besides the Rolling Stones and Keith Richards' ability to cheat death.  Speaking of which they should come out with a study as to why Keith is still alive, I'm guessing its not the salads and V-8 juice every morning. 

You're welcome that I have decided to shoot for 100 more posts and as inspiration check this shit out!


This is for the Brits!

Fresh Herbs

Finally the basil and oregano that I planted 3 months ago are ripe for the picking.  Last night I made some baked spaghetti (but with fettuccine noodles) it was delicious.  I like to cook just good old comfort food every now and again, with the internet food blogs (which have some great ideas) I feel like everyone is trying to cook like they are a five star chef.
Home made naan bread is kick ass, but who the hell has time to make naan bread when their 10 month old has just shit up their back.  Not to mention that I have a damn job (side note: if anyone would like to pay me to blog, I will happily do it for 1 million dollars).

Get ready for the next post it is number 100! Going to have to make it a good one.

Gun Toys...extravagant edition

Crazy as hell $4k bullet proof polo shirt.  Pretty cool, won't help you with the entire getting shot in the face thing...but cool none the less.

Bacon everything

This site has everything bacon!  Including, but not limited to a Bacon Coffin

Meetings

Had a meeting for the J.O.B. today, all day!  Meetings are a complete waste of time and productivity, I just sat through 6 hours of BS then had to drive 4 hours back from it.  People need to get their heads out of their rear end and realize that you don't have to have a meeting for every damn thing. 

Beer money

Yo! I need some beers, only way to get them is to get some clicks on the ads for my beer money.  You don't have to buy anything, just click the links and hook it up so I can go buy a case of Stones (keystone light for those of you not in the know).

FYI...the current Stones case also doubles as a corn-hole board if you get bored.

IDPA Practice

Had a great practice last night, shot -5, -12 (lost focus), and -0 to finish on a high note.  This is a cool sport, I am ready for my next match, but unfortunately I have weddings for the next few weekends.  July I will be on the match circuit to start working up to my classification in October.

Gun Toys

Haven't done a gun toy post in a while, well check out this little bad boy from Ruger 22/45 lite.  I have a slight addiction to Ruger especially to their .22 pistols.  In my experience, they will feed just about any ammo you can find and are accurate as hell.
This is one smooth looking .22, the aluminum upper cuts down on weight, which was a downside to the Ruger Mark IIs , who needs a  35 oz .22?  The 22/45 lite has shaved the weight down to 22.80oz, that is getting close to a full pound less than the Mark II.  Looks like a great pistol for target or just plinking around the farm.
Only downside that I see to this pistol is the price tag (msrp $469), I am going to try and find a used one in about 6 months or so.

Farting on Dogs

Ha Ha!

IDPA Practice

I have my first practice session for IDPA tonight.  Getting stoked to shoot some, being as I haven't been able to since my last match.  I have been practicing my sight picture and reload at the house, but not quite the same as actually getting some range time in.  Will update with results.
Raining here, glad the practice is indoors!

Update on open house

we had a few people stop by the open house, but no bites.  The search continues

Open House :Part Deux

So we are having another open house today in hopes of selling our casa.  Hopefully we will get an offer, I am getting tired of cleaning the living hell out of my house every other week, on the upside my house is cleaner than it ever has been. 
We want to get the hell out of this house so that we can stretch our legs a little bit.  We have been living in a townhouse too long and I am in serious need of a garage.  The older I get the more I feel the need to take care of a lawn and wash cars in the driveway.

Fingers crossed that we can sell this place soon!

IDPA

This is what I did last weekend, not me, just a cool video that illustrates what IDPA is.

Hot! Damn Hot!

Damn its hot as hell, welcome to June in the South.  Think I might try and roast some chickens over the parking lot.  Thermo in the car read at 100 yesterday, not cool.

Soda ban in NY

So mayor Bloomberg wants to ban sugary drinks that are over 16 oz.  That should prevent obesity much like Chicago's gun ban prevented 25 people from being shot in 24 hours.  People need to start taking responsibility for themselves, all across the board.  This country is developing a law for everything, whatever happened to just taking care of yourself?  If someone wants to drink 25 cokes a day for 16 years straight, which will probably result in their death, let them!  We don't need laws to try and make people healthier, the way I figure is that if we let people do what they want then the issue will resolve itself.
