Poor victim selection

By | April 19, 2012

Somebody broke into the wrong apartment in the Antioch area of Nashville last night.  Broke in to find the occupants there, struggle ensued, shots fired, and that’s all she wrote for that particular goblin. Oddly enough, a couple hours earlier, in a different part of town, I was talking to my Tai Chi instructor, and… Read More »

Review: 5.11 Covert Khaki vs Covert Khaki 2.0

By | April 18, 2012

A few years ago I bought a couple pair of 5.11 Tactical’s Covert Khakis. I really liked them, to the point where I wore each pair twice a week for almost two years. Just recently I lost a button on one of them, about 5 years after I bought them. Mrs wizardpc kindly repaired that… Read More »

Two more looking to join the club

By | April 17, 2012

Looks like Erin has managed to get through the carry class along with her mom.  Of course, by get through the class, I mean they came home with the same number of holes they left with and managed not to fall asleep at any point. Along with that, apparently her mom picked up a nice… Read More »

The email. It is broken

By | April 16, 2012

I screwed up something with the DNS transfer, so oddball and I aren’t getting any mail. We can send, but cant receive. I’ll fix it as soon as I can, but we get a low volume of mail. 😀 EDIT: We can get email now, but for some reason comment notifications aren’t coming through. Not… Read More »

BAG purchase report

By | April 16, 2012

So… I finally bought that .22 pistol that I’ve been talking about needing to do for a while on the way back from the scifi con yesterday.  After considerable research and lots of thought between the Beretta NEOS and Ruger MkIII, I went with neither. Instead, I picked up this: A Browning Buck Mark with… Read More »

Overheard in the car

By | April 16, 2012

Driving down the Interstate, we are passed by a Subaru WRX STI. Me: Man, I’d love to have one of those some day. Mrs wizardpc: But that’s a hippie car. Me: What? It’s a turbocharged off-road rally racer that gets like 18mpg! How is that a hippie car? Mrs wizardpc: Because it’s made at a… Read More »

I live… sort of

By | April 15, 2012

Well, I ended up not sleeping as much as I meant to at the scifi con.  For some reason, my body decided that I needed to get up at 8:30am both Saturday and Sunday, not caring that I was out partying until 3am Friday night and 5am Saturday. Oh, and while I failed to catch… Read More »

To-done list

By | April 14, 2012

Up at 0430. On purpose. Ran a 5k. Mostly. Went to the gun show. Surprisingly few guns. The only thing I came home with was for the dog. Moved blog from a self hosted solution to a hosting provider. I was already paying for the space and didn’t want to have downtime again. Dinner with… Read More »
