Alarming discovery in a small shop in NYC
The wife and I recently took a trip to NYC, and we stepped inside a shop on 5th avenue to check out what they had. It was a nice Italian designer of outdoors clothes. As you can see, pretty upscale. This picture was taken from the second floor. Here’s a shot of that floor. The… Read More »
Last day of K2KC
Well, it’s the last day of me wearing a kilt for a good cause, and here’s an actual action shot: That’s me changing out a turn signal light on my mom’s car at the local AutoZone. Speaking of a good cause, it’s not too late for any of you to chip in for prostate cancer… Read More »
K2KC week 4
Well… we’re in the final stretch of Kilted to Kick Cancer month, and… um… I’m nowhere near the top of the list. Of course, this is about raising money for a good cause, and every bit helps. Hell, I’ll just pretend that the donations that weren’t assigned to anyone were actually mine and feel better. … Read More »
K2KC week 3
Third week and, well… I’m on the board, but not very far. Oddly enough, not many folks have actually asked me about the kilts. Of course, part of that is that I tend to disappear into the background anyways. And since I’m not particularly photogenic, we decided to throw one of my cats in for… Read More »
Review: KelTec CL43 flashlight
One of the things I picked up at the NRAAM was one of KelTec’s CL43 flashlights. The folks at the KelTec booth were nice enough to give me one for review. This particular one was used as a demo by one of the guys working the booth. When I received it, the batteries were pretty… Read More »
Week 2 of K2KC!
So… week two, and here’s a newer picture: By the way, that’s the one “traditional” kilt that I currently own. Also, here’s another kilt themed song: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkECww7bwlU&w=560&h=315] Hmmm…. I wonder if I could find a sombrero and some maracas… On a more serious note, my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. Fortunately,… Read More »
It’s time to break the kilts out of the closet for a good cause!
September is prostate awareness month, and I’m once again participating in Kilted to Kick Cancer. This year is a little different. The guys that run it have actually got KtKC registered as its own non-profit and are accepting donations that way. From what I understand, they will basically be turning around and handing the money… Read More »
Some house keeping
If you’ve been hit by one of those annoying “please wait x seconds for a word from our sponsor” ads, please know that this is not intentional. Turns out sitemeter has decided to turn into adware and inject this redirect code into our website. At least, according to this site, and this site, that is… Read More »
Overheard in #GBC and dumb laws
The_Jack: Yes, ponder that. You can make your own guns, but you can’t toss some booze in the freezer. For context, we were talking about the possibility* of making home made applejack. If you’re going to be proper and old school about it, you freeze distill apple cider. Unfortunately, while you can make beer or… Read More »
