This is.
So I wandered off the reservation and got one of these.Wired this is.
iPhone 4s.
I attempted to let a friend know about the thing and she is a road warrior for a living. As I go to the bathroom, I get this missive.
Heh, I do love snarky stuff from my friends, it keeps me sharp!
So the first thing I try is to see if the Alpine unit in the daily beater that is equipped with an iPod interface will charge the thing. No joy.
Well OK but the Alpine at least recognizes it. Sorta.
I can understand the fanbois. This phone is a computer that oh by the way makes phone calls. I'm not drinking all of the Kool-Aid yet though!

Corn should be eaten first by tasty animals that will be converted into meat. Secondly by us as a side dish for the aforementioned meat. Corn in my cars, not so much. It has become a retched chemistry experiment over the years. Now this:
Fuel leak on the carburetor. Crap!
I look like a chemistry major already with these additives at the pump.
Now it looks like I need to add this too:
I know you can take steps to minimize this crap but I refuse to do so. Why? Because:
This is the way my Cousin and I built it! Oh, so long ago.
I hate to say it but it came from...ME!
Personal instruction today and I made the comment that I don't like Glocks while we are talking about grip on the Pistol. Student notes on the "I love me" slide I present at the first of the class that I am a Glock Armorer.
Me: "I don't have to like them to work on them".
Thanks, be here all week and try the fish!
So get to the place and examine this Revolver. The Colt Official Police was manufactured from 1927 to 1969 in .32-20, .41 Colt , .38 Special, and .22LR. It was offered in 2", 4", 5", and 6" barrel lengths. This specimen is nickel plated, but a blued version was also made. This one was made somewhere around 1939. Sigh... Another Historian letter. Click to well, you know on the pics.
This revolver showed holster wear as evidenced by the left grip and some weathering to the right hand side of the pistol that would be exposed to such. Other than that she locks up tight, little endshake. I could not get a feeler gauge larger than .0015 between the cylinder and the forcing cone! Barrel looks great, so does the crown of the barrel.
I'm glad she is here. Her older sister needs some company.
Police Positive in .32-20.
Maybe this will count to keep the tricked out name badge current!
Shoot her tomorrow and I will let you know how it goes. I will give her a bath too afterward.
There continues to be an urgency among people. Those that are not willing to wait for scheduled classes. I have several over the weekend. We shall see how it goes.
I have a line on a revolver for sale. I'm not telling y'all because if I do it will be gone before I get there tomorrow. So I gotta pack and need this:
And of course I have done my homework:
Wish me luck! I hope it is what they say it is and works!
I have never asked for anything here. I am making an exception for a friend of mine now. His name is Tyler and I really don't want to say that he works for me. Technically he does, but I prefer to say that we work together.
He is a Deacon in his church, teaches Sunday School, a devoted Husband, Father to two adopted Daughters, and a Grandfather to 1.5 Grand kids. His Family is tightly knit and his Brother and Father live within walking distance from his house.
Our professional relationship can simply be summed up in the fact that the man is extremely talented and works hard to make me look good. On a personal note there is this from my Blog.
He is riding a bicycle to the beach. From here to raise money for MS research. It is a haul. MS has touched his Family and he is committed to this. Not bad for a 50 year old. He continues to amaze me. His story about his motivation is here. Me, I'm using the Company matching program to double my donation.
If you can, anything you can give would be greatly appreciated. If you can't, I will send you a picture of Tyler as he is now riding a bike to work. Its not pretty =) !
Thanks!
So today I get a little yellow slip in my Mailbox at lunch. It tells me that since a signature is required for my three packages, they are waiting on me at the Post Office. I immediately go to the Post Office. If my packages actually were loaded on the truck, they would not be at the Post Office at this time, yet they were there.
There is no urgency here. I hear two people out of earshot talking about how politicians greed has brought the USPS to this point. HA! USPS will be insolvent in a couple of months due to pensions more than anything else.
Finally, a young woman reviews my slip of paper. Starts to look in the envelope sorter for my packages. I tell her they will not be there, they are heavy. She finds my packages in the bottom of a canvas roll around cart. She gamely attempts to pull one out of the cart and simply tells me: "We are supposed to be able to lift 70 pounds and I told them I am not doing that". That was the quote of the day right there.
I ask her if she can hold the door open for me as I retrieve the packages. She does so and I make three trips.
Inside the boxes we find this (click to enbiggen):
So lets recap. For a total of 47.10 bucks American, one box of 4000 rounds of 9mm jacketed bullets at 115 gr. weighs in at 65 Lbs, not counting the packaging. The 2000 rounds of 230 gr. .45ACP run the same. The 1000 rounds of .380 at 95 gr. weighs in at 13 pounds. Total for all three packages 143 pounds. Humped from here to here:
Heh. So how are the bullets?
They will work!
