The Gun Counter

Today I learned that Merrill Field is busy and that my radio work (Which wasn't so hot 2 years ago) hasn't aged well.

Today I learned that the bloodiest block in the West was in Ft Benton MT.

Today I learned that if you want to get ALL of the V8 juice out of the bottle and turn it upside down to let it drain while you do other things, the cold air in the bottle warms up and when you open the cap upside down over your cup, most of the V8 shoots out on the counter, your pants and your shirt.

(actually, I knew that, so maybe what I learned is that I need to pay more attention)

Shooting a pistol with a red dot installed is like turning a cheat code on. Finally got the SIG 365XL out somewhere I could shoot it, and DAMN is that thing easy to shoot. Trigger is just a hair nicer than the Hellcat - both fall short of the 1911, but are much nicer than my XD .45 was.

Also learned that I can’t shoot the LTC qual here in TX with it, since red dots aren’t allowed. Which is ok. I’ll either shoot it with the Hellcat or SWMBO’s XDm .40… no biggie.

Today, I learned that the whole deal with St Bernards and barrels and brandy barrels is probably a myth invented whole cloth by a English painter named Landseer

I would still totally get a barrel if I had a St Bernard, though.

Today I learned that linseed oil is a safe finish for kids, but BOILED linseed oil is not because they add other things to it in addition to the boiling.

Why are you finishing your kids? Maybe some sunblock or lotion now and again should be all one needs.

Today, I learned that the hottest thing in gaming dice comes from Arby's.

I think the matrix is suffering from a malware attack.

And oh, Igloo had released an Iron Maiden Cooler..
