Lying in bed hoping for my hip will stop hurting long enough that I can get to sleep. I stood up from a lawn chair in the backyard and it felt like I was hit in the hip with an electric shock. That was a week ago Wednesday.

Original Halloween

Oh I know it was against the rules for him to bet on baseball and so did he. What gripes me is there are plenty of guys in the HoF who used steroids, or beat their wife, or any number of things that were also against the rules of baseball and polite society, but there they are.

I shot Highpower for many years, first with an M1A in Service Rifle class, then with an AR in Match Rifle class. Both with irons, although a lot more sophisticated irons were on the Match Rifle. The full National Match course is 200-600 yards, standing, sitting, and prone, but there were...

Come on, quit firctheing with her.

Ohhhhhhhh! I thought it was some trick new accessory swaged onto the plate. Hey, if you can cerakote that in FDE, I bet you can sell a crap-ton of them. Needs a nifty name. How about TactiCable? Call it an eye poker. Poly Optical Kable, Extended Reach (POKER)? There’s money here...

Yep, the “Vindicator”. Good movie, btw.

What is the cable curb feeler thing?
