Thoughts on the Day

  • Started the day by baking 8 dozen snickerdoodles and a double batch of fudge brownies.  I’ve had worse mornings.
  • I’ve been itching all day to go back to Indiana and buy the used M1A I looked at yesterday.
    • But I’m in the middle of building a long range AR
    • But I own nothing else in .308, so I’d have to start stocking yet another caliber
    • But $900 is a lot of money, even if the gun retails new for $2000
    • But I haven’t even started Christmas shopping.
    • Being responsible sucks sometimes.
  • What do you give twin boys for their birthday?  If you’re Irish Woman, you give them a toy keyboard and a toy guitar.  Hopefully she doesn’t invite that family to Boo’s birthday party, because payback is an area-effect weapon.
  • Cost of a new remote for the DVD/Radio/TV/Whatever sound player – $40.  Cost of a new DVD player – $40.  Cost to rig the old one to work for a few months – $0.05.  Guess which one I went with.
    • Paper clips and duct tape for the win!
  • I wandered around BigBoxGrayMercantile for a couple of hours today while Girlie Bear was visiting her mother.  The electronics department had people in it but I didn’t see a lot of big screen TV’s moving.  The sporting goods area, however, was hopping.  As I was browsing their sale on muzzle-loader accessories, I saw three M&P-15’s head out the door.  I guess Smith and Wesson beats Samsung this holiday season.
  • Taking a look at our preparations, we need to add to our legumes, whole wheat flour, and corn meal.  We are good to go on just about everything else, and we’re not too shabby on the things we need to improve on.
    • That’s a pretty good feeling.
    • Christmastime is a great time to rotate a bunch of stuff due to baking and sales.
