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.

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.
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?
Huckabee
Mike Huckabee says that he might give a Presidential run in 2012 a pass. Oh joy! I have a serious dislike of Mike Huckabee… he should stick to his radio show. But I hate his radio show as well. He’s always shilling his Simple Books, Simple Government, Simple Christmas… with his Huck This and Huck that… it really gets under my skin.
Why? Because Huckabee gave us Obama.
He stayed in the race only to make sure Mitt Romney couldn’t win. He divided the votes on purpose to allow McCain to win by such comfortable margins… McCain – the last guy any Conservative wanted to win the nomination. Then with some many people saying that they would never vote for McCain… they stayed home from the polls… Our turn out was low. Obama won each state by small margins overall. If we had a less distasteful candidate things would have been different. Instead, we got McCain and that allowed Obama to ride the Soul Train into the White House.
I hold Huckabee accountable for that. I also don’t like the fact that The Huckster is rabidly Anti-Mormon. Religious Bigotry because one Christian group believes differently than another Christian group. That’s small minded, pathetic, and is not a character trait that we need in a President.
Screw Huckabee.
Information + Time = Value
I’ve spent several hours with an individual who had talked of ordering a rifle from me. We talked ballistics, caliber, BC, trajectory, rate of twist, air pressure, spin drift, shockwaves, bedding, trigger, stocks, brakes, MOA… I educated this guy for a very long time, to the point that other customers were going to other guys at the counter and making other sales.
Bin Laden’s family may sue…
The Son of Osama Bin Laden is saying that they may sue the US Government because of the way the US Navy treatment of Osama.
Uh huh…
Does he know who Bin Laden was? The whole 9-11-01 thing? The whole 3,000 innocent lives lost because of Bin Laden?
Call Seal Team Six again, they have some more work to do.
Editing
So I’m working on editing my book getting it ready for publication. I’ve come to the conclusion that editing on the screen of a Netbook is far more grinding than editing normally is. This makes it slow. As soon as this editing is done, I’ll be working on the cover. I’m going to do a photo type cover. Staging, costume, make up… and asking the Utah National Guard for the use of some Military Assets.
As soon as I can finish the editing. I hate editing. I hate editing on a Netbook at least 3 times as much.
Trade Offer
Browning is sending me an X-Bolt Stalker in .300WSM. Nikon has sent me a Monarch 3-12 BDC. I have the scope, still in the box, and unopened. The rifle will be sent to me, according to Browning, in June. This is a great package for hunting North American Big Game. I’m pretty jaded about rifles, but the new X-Bolts have impressed the hell out of me. I really like the way they feel and balance, and the accuracy has been awesome out of every X-Bolt I’ve seen. However, I don’t need this rifle. What I need is a good laptop for processing video. Oh, I want it… I’d love it… seriously… but I need a good laptop.
