Thoughts on the Day

  • You know, I was  glad to hear that we would be trying to cut down on the “I know you weren’t scheduled to work this weekend, but something’s come up.” style of project planning at work.
    • A lot of my co-workers, on the other hand, seem distressed that they’re going to be asked to actually, you know, plan their work and tell people about it ahead of time.
  • You know the water table is high when you don’t have to add water to the concrete you pour into a post hole  to get it to set.
  • Note to self – do not get concrete dust in your eyes.
  • I may have a changeling in the house.  Boo announced tonight that he does not like Irish Woman’s meatloaf.  No way he got that from me.
  • Looks like I’m going to miss Oddball’s blogshoot in June.  It’s the same weekend as the yearly Hoosier Roundup, and as much as I would love to go shooting for a weekend, family calls.
    • Unless, of course, I can get the Hoosiers to move the family reunion from southern Indiana to southern Kentucky.
    • Hmmmmm
  • I’m wavering between upgrading the AR-15 lower I have with a new stock and trigger so that it will fit better with the 20 inch heavy barrel upper I’m building, or just build a whole new lower  so that I have two rifles, a carbine and a longer-range rifle.
    • Decisions, decisions.

    Planning work? How novel – however if you do decide to you know do it official I can thoroughly recommend Project 2010 (don’t use earlier version) especially if you have SharePoint 2010 as well … Okay so I’ve got a Project 2010 exam on the 13th and my brain has no room for anything else ….

    Have more then one person that can shoot AR’s in your family or friends that you trust?

    I second Old NFO; I would go for the 2nd complete rifle instead.

    Could you send some of that water out my way? I’m not saying Texas is dry but we have one lake that is 19′ low!

    Another vote for a complete rifle. With the AR platform the lower, FCG, and stock are the cheap parts. Swapping uppers is fine, but you’ll get tired of it eventually.

    If you haven’t put one together yourself I’d be happy to talk you through it. I bet your eldest could do most of the work.

    Wait… You’re asking whether you should have one AR or two?

    Is that a question?

      I’m trying to be responsible. For once. But yeah, I’m thinking I need to build a new lower.
