Musings

  • Girlie Bear is reading The Gunny’s new book, and I told her she could loan it to her friends if she wanted.  She said she was going to recommend it to her friends who are planning on joining the Marines, but wasn’t going to loan our copy to them.
    • She appears to be more afraid that they will attempt to eat it than that they will lose it.
    • Quote of the Day – “How long has this book been out?  You’ve been saying stuff like this to me since I was born!”
  • Went into the hippie-dippie health food store to get Boo’s vitamins today.  They have bulk stuff like quinoa and black beans.
    • I may have to practice the black art of capitalism with them on occasion.
  • It’s officially winter.  I got the urge to bake this afternoon, and ended up making batches of pumpkin bread and cranberry nut bread.  I would be making cookies and banana bread as well, but Irish Woman needs the oven to prepare toast for tomorrow’s dressing.
  • It’s quite liberating when someone almost tearfully informs you of the latest ‘drama’ in their lives, and you just shake your head and say “That’s too bad.” without making their issue your issue.
  • Tonight, I tried to explain to Irish Woman why ammunition became scarce and went through the roof, and why .22 is still pretty thin on the ground.  I don’t think I fully explained it to her, and I may have confused myself.
  • If the weather holds, I will be going to the woods this weekend with a chain saw.  That’s almost as good as going to the woods with a gun.
  • Phase two of Operation “Why Is My M-1 Giving Me Light Strikes Every So Often” commences as soon as the new spring set arrives.
  • When asked what I want for Christmas, I said “ammunition” and listed out several calibers.
    • Heck, I offered to print up and laminate a list of which calibers and manufacturers I use so that Irish Woman can reference it whenever the mood strikes.
  • This will be the first time in a long time that our Thanksgiving turkey will not have onion breast implants.  She will have to get by on her natural assets and talents.

    I can’t vouch for the vendor, but I’ve seen this linked on more than one gun blog that seem competent and trustworthy. If Irish Woman wants to stay up late and get all your Christmas shopping knocked out in the wee hours on black Friday, it might not be a bad place to point her.

    If you’re going to make up a laminated cheat sheet (I’ll be making one for myself here shortly – thanks for the idea!) consider adding a column with a max price and /or a decent price. As someone who leaves the majority of the ammo purchases to the husband, I don’t even know what constitutes a ‘good’ price anymore. Just a thought – YMMV

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    That ammoman ammo-by-the-pound sale sold out within a minute, I am told.
    I wouldn’t know exactly, but I got home from work about 10 minutes after it started…
