- The pickets for the long fence are up. All that’s left now is to build and hang the gate, and then I’m off to build the short fence.
- We’ll stain the fence this fall.
- I guess summer is here. I have mosquito and chigger bites.
- Girlie Bear and I discussed appropriate behavior with the opposite sex while at JROTC camp yesterday.
- I explained that she was to always be with her battle buddy, and never to be alone with a boy.
- She thinks I’m overreacting, since they’re going to be supervised and they’re cadets, not normal boys.
- I remarked that I remember what it was like to be a teenage soldier and repeated that she is to never be alone with a boy at JROTC camp.
- Knob Creek is adding onto their main building.
- For those who’ve been there, the addition pretty much extends the building out to the big pole barn.
- You know, there is a stereotype about the people who go to shooting ranges, but today I’m pretty sure that stereotype was blown.
- There were white men of all ages and backgrounds and women present. I heard a lot of Kentucky twangs, but also New Jersey/New York, Minnesota, and I think Virginia accents, as well as Spanish, Japanese, and Arabic. There were experienced shooters and beginners. There were young ladies there shooting for the first time and retired grandpas just spending an afternoon shooting the breeze and the targets.
- Yeah, we’re a monolithic white male redneck block of consumers.
- Note to self – Buy Boresnake for the AR.
- Just when I was finishing up at the range, enjoying the last afternoon of a glorious week of vacation from work, the window in the driver’s side door of the truck fell off the track and into the bottom of the door, right there in the range parking lot.
- Of course there were big dark clouds overhead. Why do you ask?
- Of course I didn’t have the necessary type of screwdriver in the truck so that I could fix it right then and there. Why do you ask?
- Thankfully, it didn’t rain on the way home or during the hour it took for me to ‘fix’ it in our driveway.
- It actually was pretty easy to fix, or at least fix so that it doesn’t rain in my truck. I’ll have to look at how much some replacement parts cost and plan accordingly.

/ June 3, 2013No need to fear for Girlie Bear. The first thing the boys will be taught is that they are all rapists; they’ll probably avoid the girls out of fear of false accusations. The RadFems have your back, even in the military.

/ June 4, 2013Not going to say you’re wrong, but my worry was more of the “two kids away from mom and dad, hormones running high, and things that shouldn’t happen happening” sort of thing.
