It’s not when you’re sore the next day. It’s when it doesn’t kick in until 2 days later. I tested (and received) my second degree black belt in TKD on Saturday. I managed to remember all my forms (all 18 of them), survived sparring, and broke many boards without difficulty (once it was determined that… Read More »
So here’s an interesting situation… I live in Tennessee, and my dad lives in Michigan. We’re both into guns and own multiple firearms. I have a gun sitting in my safe collecting dust that I know he’d be interested in. One would think that I could just decide “hey dad, here, take this from your… Read More »
Just wanted to give a nod to Linoge and his continuing efforts to get back into martial arts. Like him, I took Tae Kwon Do in high school, almost made it to black belt, and then quit when I went to college. For years after that, I kept meaning to go back but either work… Read More »

I inspected the rifle, handed him the cash, and we both went our separate ways after a hand shake. This particular acquisition is… Read More »
I can’t tell if this was a cunning plan that might actually work, or if he’s just an idiot who thinks people will believe this. Recall that Daniel Harless is the Canton, OH [now former] police officer who lost his job after video evidence of him being, well, a loose cannon. After not allowing a… Read More »
Wow! That was easy! Why haven’t I done this before?
I mentioned a while back that I bought an AR lower kinda by accident. I decided to make it a Magpul Fanboi Rifle after input from folks at the gunblogger_conspiracy. Also, in case you’re wondering, subsonic 300blk out of a 20″ barrel has a 44 foot drop at 400 yards. Not recommended. I bought the… Read More »
Something that causes cursing: having a pin punch jump and take a chunk out of your finger Something else that causes cursing: having that last blow bend the pin that was supposed to be driven into the hole. On the plus side, I did manage to bend the pin back and get it driven into… Read More »
