Some customers at Basin Sports… You just want to say “Get Out.” Guy wanted some new arrows cut to length of his old arrows. Okay, fine. No problem.
But then the guy starts running is mouth… “Yeah this is my last arrow.” Alright, not really caring about what you do with your splinters, but fine. “I shot this big old Buck this morning… nailed it. High shoulder hit. Blood was pumping out like a fire hose. Those Grim Reaper heads really cut them open, you know. But the critter ran off. The blood trail ran out about a hundred yards. Searched for that sucker for almost a whole hour. Gunna go back out and get another one. Gotta fill the tag you know.”
I chewed on my tongue as I cut the arrows. I had a lot I wanted to say… but instead I just did my job and kept my mouth shut.
The day spent at the range with the Big Fifty. The Bushmaster BA50 was fired all day, with only a couple breaks to let it cool down.
A whole box of empty boxes... We fired a lot of ammo.
The gun never failed, never jammed, and when the shooters did everything I coached them… they hit the targets. One barrel at 1000 yards, the other barrel at 1100 yards. The kicker was doping the wind correctly and the wind was constantly changing.
The Tudors has become my guilty pleasure. The HBO production is absolutely amazing in it’s depth and detail. Very historically accurate as well. It makes King Henry VIII seem quite sympathetic. Which is a good thing considering he is a great grandfather of mine. Yes my family had a castle until relatively recently. Anyways. The show is incredible. The casting and the acting is fantastic. So is the costumes. You can see why Henry went through so many wives. The scenes with the actress that played Anne, that Cute nose and smirk of hers… As Spock would say, fascinating.
I might kick off the start of Autumn by a motorcycle ride to Washington State. There is only one doctor in the world that I have any trust in, and he’s in Washington. I am considering this trip… But I don’t know yet.
I’m not sure as to what route I’d go, but I’m thinking north up through to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, then through Spokane into Seattle. I would burn up all my vacation days… and I’d take my time. On this ride. No rush. No hurry. No Conquering the Road like in trips past. Just an easy ride through the Pacific Northwest.
Gundoc and I are both now sporting new HTC Sensation smart phones. These things do freaking everything. 2 dual core processors that make this cell phone faster than most of the computers I’ve ever owned. Certainly faster than my HP Mini Netbooks.
Glympse, so my Homies know where I’m rolling when I am in SLC – or going to and from SLC. Google Doc, so I can write Uprising as I am inspired. 1080P Video that can upload straight to YouTube so when I’m out at the range, blowing things up with some firepower from Crusader Weaponry – I can show it off. More product highlights from The Gun Counter. All that.
Oh, and better yet – Crusader Students can actually get a hold of me when they are lost trying to find The Training Range. It’s all good like that. Speaking of Training, we’re going to be doing a couple training classes after GunDoc and I spend a little time Sharpening our Skills with Massad Ayoob at his MAG-40 Class. Instructors are Perpetual Students themselves, and If my edge is dull, I can’t sharpen yours. So look at the Crusader Weaponry website and Facebook Page for those classes.
There is this new hairstyle going around… it’s very popular. Girls are turning up all over the place with it. It’s “Bobbed” but shorter up the back (giving the impressing of tail feathers), and longer on the sides (giving the impression of wings). It looks like a Chicken that just got ravaged by a Rooster. It’s the stupidest hairstyle I’ve ever seen. Girls, why do you want your head to look like you’ve been Rooster Raped? Seriously. Don’t do that to your head. It’s not Cute, or Sassy, it’s freaking Retarded.
The UK likes to put on the Holier Than Though attitude over the USA. They like to think of themselves as more intelligent and more sophisticated than us “Colonials”. The events in the UK in the recent turmoil seem to show otherwise.
Yes, we have had some riots… such as the Rodney King riots in LA. And some looting such as after Katrina. But those were kicked off by some event or disaster… and then they were limited to one city. In the UK it started over pretty much nothing and seems to have been spreading all over Great Britain. Baseball Bats are in high demand.
