Thoughts on the Day

  • You know it’s been one of those weeks when you consider it a victory that you only spent 7 hours on Thursday working on the problem you’ve been working on since Monday.
  • Hmm, the support person from the vendor didn’t want to talk with me on the phone today, preferring instead to use a chat line and talk to the support engineers via their cell phones and headsets.
    • Do not try to play “Who Can Be The Bigger Bastard” with me when it’s your job to make me happy. You will lose.
  • Irish Woman must have known I was going to have a rough day.  She got up early and made me a hot breakfast.  She even offered to make me coffee.
  • Strategy change on the AR-15 build.  With every other person on earth rushing out to buy anything at all that looks like an evil black rifle, availability and prices for parts for my varminter upper are getting thin on the ground and out of my budget. I may bite the bullet and buy a complete upper so I can shoot until I get the build done.
    • I already have all the parts for the lower and a box of PMags.
  • If I can smell your cologne on the other side of the pump when we’re both filling our gas tanks, then you might consider cutting back a tad.
  • Apparently, when you’re a labrador puppy, everyone is your playmate and the world is your toy box.

    Just bought my wife an AR lower on Tuesday. Thinking it might have been a MUCH better idea to go with a complete rifle. We aren’t looking for anything too high end though, so maybe we will get lucky at a gun show.

    Ah, the enthusiasm – and sharp teeth – of a lab puppy. May your shoes, dish towels, furniture, and clothing make it through without extra holes! At least the little bundle of wiggling fur might ought to make you smile after a day of work.

    I hope the problem at work gets wrapped up permanently soon – but even if it doesn’t, you have a rockin’ wife.

      Oh, he does make me smile, that’s for sure. And the nipping will get better. It’s just time and patience.

    If you’d like to borrow an upper (or a complete AR) until your build is complete, say the word.

      I think I’ll be OK Peter. I have all the lower parts, and a complete upper for short range plinking was on the plan anyway. Prices aren’t going to go down from where they are now, so I’ll get one before they get more expensive.
