So I just got off the phone with a student of mine shopping for a more concealable option than her Glock 26. I don't hear this often: "You are awesome!" I'll take it! Its not about the money its about giving people the freedom to take back what is theirs. They just need to see it.
So tomorrow out to the range to let the former (current) student test drive some stuff. It got me thinking.
I went shopping today. For a pistol. Colt's? Nowhere to be found except on the used counter.
I know Colt has released the .380 Mustang Pocketlite again. I wish they would do the same for the Mustang Plus II. I hear people today saying "Colt? Who's that?" I have to say I understand where they are coming from. Hell I have Firearms older than them (sigh). There is over a hundred years of small Colt's in the picture above and yet it matters for nothing in the mind of today's consumers.
Hey Colt! Wake up or you will become another side note. Sad really.
So working with some Molle gear and some Maxpedition Tacties today for a gift and it looked like this:
Oh, the lights? A case of 100W incandescent and a case of 60W. The powers that be are making these hard to get.
Anyway, while I'm doing this, my brain immedatly thought of this video:
Yep, my brain works in mysterious ways!
It appears I can no longer adjust my stereo to my preferences. Nope! You have to stick a microphone in your room in SIX places and let the receiver do its thing. Well I'll play.
The first thing I noticed was the old Boston Acoustics in the back of the room spoke up with authority. In fact too much so. I'm used to having the sound stage up front, not totally immersed it the sound!
Here is the BA hanging in the entry to the kitchen.
Here is the back of it from the kitchen.
Here is one of the front channel sub woofers and main speaker.
So after doing all of this I must say I cannot fault the computer. What used to take skill and knowledge was simply reduced to an algorithm. The thing will even show you it's work.
I totally agree with the curve 20Hz to 20KHz. for the rear channels. Left side is the open space in the kitchen, the right is jammed into a bookshelf in a corner. The thing boosted the bass on the left side and suppressed it on the right. It seems all the stuff I work on is trying to put me out of a job!
I can operate one of these:
The resulting leftovers look like this:
What made it even better were the spices my friend Brigid sent. Thanks!
So now to take a look at this. Been a long time since a gun post. Here is a SA 1911. It seems to have a failure to eject.
I honestly have a LOT to be thankful for. Thanks to everyone that called, texted, and emailed me today. It means much!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have for 2 decades or so been alone for this holiday. No matter. In fact I enjoy it. I started watching MST3K oh, back then during the Holiday. Here is one of my favorite shorts.
I will let the "extension of my manhood car" pass, LOL!
A Christmas gift in the works for Mr. Curmudgeon. More items on the way, but here is what we have for now. My goal is to have a SHTF one day "gotta go now bag".
More "stuff" is on the way. Many thanks to my friends in Texas that gave me the idea (AND video) for this.
So anyone else have ideas for a one day bug out bag?
.
Ok, this is flat out cool if it actually works. The new fire alarm at work? Yep there is an app for that!
It would beat running to an Annunciation panel to see whats happening!
