  • The high desert in Arizona and New Mexico, blanketed in snow, is simply beautiful. I wish I got to this part of the country more often.

    I grew up in that area, the high desert of AZ and CA. The SW USA high desert used to be great places to live before politics destroyed it.

    Even the political situation does little to diminish the majesty of the place. I think its the massive sense of scale that awes me so.
    It's odd that as I approach my 40th birthday I find myself becoming increasingly intolerant of the decrepitude of old people.

    She wasn't arguing, the dumb bluehair bitch was just yammering on about bullshit no one cares about.
    Wasting my life, you're damn right!

    If you get lucky, you may live long enough to be one of those yammering idiots you can't stand right now.

    Possibly. I find it more likely that decades of abuse and hard living will take its ultimate toll before my retirement. That's the plan anyway.
    Scored a pretty awesome deal on 55gr IMI 5.56 ammo. .24 a round with free shipping!! Bought the 1200 round case at $289 fro Midway.

    I use it almost exclusively, never had any problems at all with it. If I do y'all will be the first to know. But c'mon! Is that not a pretty good deal? That's almost pre Obama prices there!

    I love the old stuff I had; maybe 25 years old. Old brass is my bolt gun reloads now. The new stuff seems to have less zip. I thought a guy had a bad rifle at the range, no bang in two additional rifles including a bolt gun.

    I've fired about 3000 rounds of it in the last 6 months with no issue whatsoever. And I find it to be more accurate than many other bulk ammos. I've used it to win a few of @dsdmmat's matches.
    I think the handwriting to text feature of my phone would be a lot more useful if my handwriting weren't so shit.

    My handwriting looks like shit on anything electronic. Whenever I sign for something at the store, it always looks like I have cerebral palsy or something.

    The "S Pen" of the note does a pretty remarkable job of feeling like a regular pen on paper.
    Blew up my phone yesterday, somehow. Replaced it with a Note 8 this morning. Is very nice. The pen just may solve may fat finger woes.

    I actually switched to the iPhone X recently. I hated when Apple forced people to use the home button coming from the 6. I will say, the display is really nice on it, and I like it a lot better than the 6 regular I had before this. Got a nice leather case for it and treated it with leather salve / some leather oil to darken it up. Feels really nice now. Think I'll stick with leather from now on for my phones.

    My wife loves hers. Her main business communication tool. Billings, meeting notes, inventory orders, navigation. Way beyond my telecom skill set.

    Have a Note 8 myself, had a Note 2 and 4 before this, absolutely love it. I use the pen so much for notes, grocery lists, cutting/pasting/editing pics/memes, etc. The dual rear camera is nice if you know how to take good pics, the manual mode is great. I used mine to take those moon shots.
    Just had a situation where a less level headed person would be headed to jail. Or prison.

    You have to pick and choose your battles, and put things in perspective. Is it really worth the anger? Is this just a matter of pride when you can be the bigger man and walk away?

    If you're the one manipulating the situation to a certain outcome, even if you walk away, then YOU'RE the one in control of it.

    I did walk away. Three times. Three times this dumb meth bitch charged after me. 4th time would have been it. Fortunately for everyone she was sent home first.

    I'm quick to temper, but once I hit the level though. Takes a while to build, so I know what you mean as being hot and level headed at the same time.
    Oh just maybe I'll be able to get something productive done maybe sometime this decade.
    Gonna have a prime rib roast tonight!!! Hmm-mmmm! Mom's home cookin'! Roast, roast, roast, roast, roast, ROAST!
    Having finished all my Christmas shopping last week I bought myself an early present: A Nintendo Switch! Is very nice.

    I wonder if the Cabelas here has a Spyderco Sage 5 in stock. Maybe, but at a ridiculous price I'm sure.
    Pelosi is on TV. I went on a very loud, involuntary and vulgar tirade on her. Now everyone in the driver lounge is staring at me. Again.

    Yes, I have a habit of loudly cursing out democrats on TV. I can't help it. I'm not one to withhold my opinions.

    yeah i've gotten a few crass stares from family members for doing something similar. not usually about democrats just people in general.
    I have just announced to the dispatch office, loudly, my various opinions on the driving accumen of the locals in inclement conditions.

    I succeeded in producing a stunned, awkward, silence.
    I may have said some things the average cubical worker would proly not get away with.
    I have watched three cars hit the ditch or the barrier tonight. Roads are very bad here.

    Sorry pod. Snow is the reason I love the winter. Driving in it is a blast and nothing beats a pile of it to chill a few drinks.
    Podmonkey
    Podmonkey
    Um, no, I'M sorry, buisness comes before pleasure. Driving an 18 wheeler in the snow sucks. Winter can go ahead and fuck off now.
    Its a cold, cold night here but I'm all snugged with flannel PJs, fleece blankets and a diesel fired auxillary heater. Life is good.

    Yeah, the family dynamic has really changed since I got thus good paying job and moved away. My Mother does her best to humor me so I will want to come and visit now and again. I've straight up told her that while I do enjoy the occasional visit she and my brother are competing with range time back home. I can only do on or the other, rarely both.
    Good hearing from you. been shooting the hell out my Henry .22 what a great little gun (put the Skinner peepsights on it) now that ammo is plentiful and kinda cheap-ish, been buying a lot of it. Wife's on me for a xmas list, but other than socks, everything is gun related..you run into that ?

    I'm from an anti gun family, if I ask for gun stuff eyes either roll or glaze over. I just ask for clothing, my tastes in toys are too particular anyway.
