- Nothing puts a good spin on the Friday before you take a week of vacation like a lunchtime phone call from Irish Woman, who has just banged her head on the corner of the trunk of her car and needs stitches.
- She’s fine. Ugly cut in her hairline required six stitches. Only lingering effect is a nagging headache on that side of her head and a new hairstyle so as to not highlight or put stress on the wound.
- Quote of the weekend: “Mama, are they going to kill you?”, said by Boo just before the doctor started putting in the stitches. I took him back out to the waiting room with reassurances from his mother that she’d be OK.
- Boo was wearing a new shirt Saturday that has a pretty convincing chocolate scent embedded in the artwork. It really smells like chocolate, and got stronger after being warmed by his body heat. I gave up sweets last summer, but I’ve been craving a Hershey bar since Saturday morning.
- Got a briefing on a couple of the projects that Irish Woman has decided are going to happen before snow flies. Our discussion was a textbook example of what happens when “artist’s conception” meets “real world”.
- Normal people would meet somewhere in the middle. I have to find a way for it to be “real world” enough to not kill small children, but still look like “artist’s conception”.
- Apparently there is an accounting discrepancy between what my spreadsheet came up with using prices from the lumber yard and what her muse told her it would take.
- We have agreed to hold a meeting to go over the numbers, where I believe she will try to convince me that wood doesn’t cost what the lumber yard says it does.
- When your “discussion” about a project starts to revolve around whether or not you need a permit, it’s time to walk away for a little while.
- Girlie Bear announced today that she likes Van Halen. I told her I’d be quoting from “Hot for Teacher” during the open house at her new high school in a couple of weeks.
- My daughter announced that there were some cute boys at the church picnic Saturday night. I need to go shooting.
- Customer service tip: If you’re actually friendly to me when I ask if your gun store does transfers, I may just buy a gun before I leave your establishment.
- Pictures to follow
- Can anyone give me an opinion DS Arms AR-15 uppers? Their price point is really good, and the example guns I looked at at the NRA annual meeting seemed pretty solid.

/ August 13, 2012Dude, name names on the gun store. I know about all the bad ones, but only a few of the good ones.

/ August 13, 2012Yeah, some of the other gun shops weren’t very friendly when I asked.
It was Lotus Gun Works over in J-town. Kind of expensive for some things, but had an excellent selection of guns. $25 for a transfer, and the salesman I answered was happy to tell me about it, got me the business card for the guy who does their internet sales and would be setting things up with the other FFL. They’re definitely going on my list of places to go when I need/want something.
