Thoughts on the Day

  • It is amazing how much quicker the computers at work are when everyone who uses them is home with their family.
  • While I was at work today, Irish Woman did a lot of the getting ready for winter work in the front yard.  I had to chide her for using the electric hedge trimmer.  I mean, what’s the point of owning a machete if you never use it?
  • I suppressed my inner introvert and smiled a lot this evening at a formal fundraiser.  Believe it or not, I was actually pleasant with strangers and Democrats without the aid of hard liquor.
  • Kentucky people, there are indeed foods that do not require bourbon to flavor them.  Luckily, none of the dishes served tonight fit that description.
    • Bourbon barbecue, bourbon ball, bourbon chocolate, and bourbon pumpkin pie ice cream, and of course bourbon to drink were all on the menu.
  • I need to find a better way of asking a chef how he makes something other than “Oh my God!  That is delicious!  How do you make this!?!”.
    • Although the guy with the garlic-leek-potato cream soup was very accommodating.   Sorry, he made me promise to keep it to myself, so no new recipe.  Maybe if I make it my own, I’ll share.
  • I’m not sure, but I may be on the hook for a couple hundred dollars worth of things in the silent auction.
    • When yours is the only bid on something, that means you win, right?
  • When assembling an AR-15 lower, you should not have any leftover parts.
    • Oh well, I always enjoy taking out a roll pin because I forgot to put in the bolt catch detent.  Builds character.
  • Irish Woman was less interested in the completed AR than Girlie Bear, but she’ll come around.
    • I’ve already prepped her that, while the rifle is now functional, it’s not complete, and another upper is in the works.
  • Tomorrow I get to take the new AR-15 out shooting, and Girlie Bear gets to take her new muzzleloader to the range for the first time.  This is going to be fun.

    Hmmm… I’ve always been under the impression that if you end a project without an extra screw or something, you’re doing it wrong.

    That might explain a few things…
