Note before we begin: By the time you get here, you’ve probably got a pretty good idea for what works and what doesn’t in your household. This post is to provide guidance, not gospel. “When you are prepared for the zombie apocalypse, a hurricane is just a storm.” We’ve all heard that one, and it’s… Read More »
Alternate title: Two is one, one is none. Not a good weekend to be my equipment. On Friday, one of the kydex belt loops for my Raven Concealment holster snapped while I was getting into my wife’s car. I’ve had that holster for three or four years, so I wasn’t really surprised. Back in July… Read More »
Just got a call from my FFL. See, when I bought my suppressor back in July, I gave them the money for the tax stamp. Apparently, they forgot to send the money to the ATF. Perhaps I will handle that myself next time. Counter gets reset. Dammit.
As you know, my wife and I drive older cars. About a year ago, I had to have several hundred dollars of work done on mine to fix a seriously bad misfire problem. Rough idle is one thing, running rough at 70mph is an entirely different matter. As it turned out, the ethanol blends I’d… Read More »
One common excuse reason people give for keeping a credit card is that they pay it off every month, so it’s okay for them to keep it. I have never understood this logic. If you have the money to make all the purchases, why not just use the money instead of the credit? I covered… Read More »
My father died in his sleep a little over two years ago. Two days before that he and my mother purchased a new home. After a couple of months my mother decided to move in to the new, smaller house and try to sell the old one. A couple of months after that, she rented… Read More »
I just deactivated my Facebook account. I had to enter my password twice and pass a CAPTCHA. You know, if I had to go through that hassle to activate all the new “features” (like the super-creepy timeline) they keep introducing, I probably would have kept my account. Oh, and they said pdb would miss me… Read More »
At New Shooter day, there were a couple of gentlemen at the range with matching BDU (or is it ACU? I can’t keep up) pants and UnderArmor wicking shirts. Under their station I spied some high-dollar MOLLE gear and noticed a unit patch I’d not seen before. Towards the end of our time there, a… Read More »
One common point of resistance to getting rid of credit cards is the old “I need one to travel for my job.” Well, that’s a load of crap. It can be done, and I have been doing it for years. The best way to go about this is to have a company card that you… Read More »
Top: Rock River AR-15 Bottom: M&P15-22 The thing about an AR trainer is that it needs to be as close as possible to your “real” rifle as possible. I just got the M&P15-22, but I’m already starting to duplicate the functionality. When I was taking care of my Form 4 stuff, I picked up two Magpul… Read More »
