I have to tell ya… I had a great day today. I slept in until a late 0800. Then the wife made me breakfast… I relaxed for a bit and then took off on a good ride on the motorcycle with a friend. Then when I came home, dinner was steak. Gotta love it. No bad news. Nothing bad happened. Just enjoyed a day off. Beautiful.
My last Flight
Years and years ago, I was very into aviation. I still am, but not with the same enthusiasm. Last time I was in the cockpit it was in a Cessna 142. I had flown other aircraft before, 152’s, 172’s, and a 182, along with some other small planes, Cherokee, Arrows and even a V tail Beechcraft. Other than Ultralights, the 142 was the smallest and the most twitchy. In fact, it felt more like an Ultralight than the other aircraft, even the 152 which isn’t really any bigger… the 142 is very basic.
CDC warns of Zombies
The CDC is warning people about Zombies. It’s kind of funny that he CDC is using Zombies as it’s Disaster Analog, since Gun Owners have been doing it for years and years. We call it our “Zombie Plan”. The ZP can be activated for any disaster/situation which requires drastic actions for survival. Now the CDC report I linked to doesn’t mention it… but Firearms and Ammunition are also critical. Because even if you don’t face Brain Eaters, you will face other people who will want what you have… everything you have.
Get your Shotgun ready.
Some of my favorite fishing lures
The Ogre likes to get away from everything sometimes… Even shooting. So when that itch strikes, I take my boys and we go find some water. So I’m going to show you some of my favorite lures. If you have no interest at all in fishing… Don’t read further.
My first book
I’ve completed my first book. It’s somewhere between 700-800 pages. 151333 words. I still have to edit it, clean some things up, continuity, and throw in some back stories to some characters… and it’ll be ready to publish. But the book as a whole is done.
After my first editing pass, I’m going to send it out to a small handful of volunteer readers.
Flashbangs are Fun
Watch the first few seconds carefully.
In case you didn’t quite get it… this isn’t how you use a flashbang.
The Art of War teaches us…
The Art of War is a book that I’ve read many times through. The book is simple and straight forward, much like Sun Tzu’s tactics. One of the things he teaches, is to hit first, and to hit so hard that the enemy is unable to hit back.
Last Man Standing
I’ve been watching a lot of Western movies lately to energize my Cowboy Vibe for diving back into writing “Silvershot”. For giggles I watched Last Man Standing, with Bruce Willis. This is a movie I’ve only watched once or twice before, a long time ago. After careful consideration, I have to say that it’s one of my favorite Westerns.
An uncomfortable scope
I’ve never had a hard time putting a rifle together before. But this time I did. The person came in with a rifle that needed to be set up and ammunition selected. The gun was a common build .25-06 for shooting big game at 100 yards. Culling, not hunting. So why did I have a hard time with this?
Crusader High Power
Who would be interested in buying a full house custom, built from the ground up, Crusader High Power? The price would be around 1800 bucks. Yes, it’s steep, I know… but these would be individually hand built, hand fitted, and hand finished.
