    @Botch the GBSD should be awarded around September- ready to come back to work yet? 

    Got some calls today to discuss phenolic ablatives for the program.  Nothing like a 50 year annuity...
    It's been a month.  I've been sleeping in an hour, have a leisurely breakfast, read the paper, and then start working a home project.
    Then, I look up at the clock, and it's past suppertime!   :o
     
    I'm keeping completely busy, but two things have happened that I wasn't expecting.
    One, I'm feeling SOOO much better, physically.  Every morning I get up, I just feel better, almost like I"m 15 years younger.  I wasn't expecting that; maybe there was more stress there than I realized.  Point for staying retired.  
    Two, Loneliness; I wasn't expecting this one either.  I know that I'm an extreme introvert; the interaction with my coworkers thru the week was about all I could stand, I really valued my nights, and weekend alone.  But, now that it's ALL by myself, that's not quite the right balance, either.  Point for getting another job, at least part-time.  
     
    Springtime is when the job fairs around here usually ramp up.  I may be visiting, if just for a part-time job; but not sure yet.  
     
    @Wolfpack, I'm curious as to what you've worked on before; PM me if you want.   :)

    4 new tires to be installed Friday. One of my tires was literally screwed and passed the pain on to my wallet.

    Picked this one up today. Stupid Illinois 72 hour wait. Let's make you wait 3 days to pick up a gun you buy so you don't go commit a crime of passion, because I obviously can't use the one I am carrying at the time or the others at the house........

    Used to be 7 days in Guilford County North Carolina regardless of a CC permit. You had to go the sheriffs department and file paperwork to buy a handgun. You’d have to go back up there to pick up a copy of the paperwork and then go to the dealer. $5 fee.

    Thinking the vortex venom, gets good reviews. Not sure yet though. Still thinking what mods I want to make to this gun

    Great gun. Much easier to break down compared to the earlier models.

    I bought upgrade items there for both my 22/45 (also a Mark IV) and 10/22 takedown. The trigger upgrade they offer turns the trigger into something extremely sweet. 

    For optic, also check out Holosun.

    I switched over to the finger groove grips on mine. I found it to be a better fit and feel

    I want the hive grips from TK for sure. Should have it in my hands Monday afternoon.

    Building target stands right now, need to get some chains and S hooks. I'm using sawhorse brackets and 2x4 for my plate rack. Some pvc for some cardboard stands

    Just got it assembled, and will try out this weekend on both vehicles.  The garage floor has a lot of street salt on it, so it will get a good power washing too.

    Getting 4 tires installed now. On the way over a passing car kicked a rock into my windshield. So I will leave the tire store and go to the glass shop. Hopefully they can drill and glue it.

    Apparently it is a counter-drone system. 
    I am thinking it’ll do a job on squirrels too. 



    Other girls may try to take me away 
    But you know, it's by your side I will stay

    Love the dramatic music as they track a drone but when the thing fires it's just a "pfft".

    They should add a big sound system to play a "proper" firing sound - the A10's GAU-8 "brrrrrrrrrrt" would be a good choice. :)

    We have a gun calibration facility in the Air Logistics Complex, dug into the side of a hill (underneath the golf course!).  I'm told, when they fire the GAU-8, its all robotized, the hoomans actually have to leave the facility when it's fired, the shock waves are so great.
