What the hell. After my rant yesterday, I went ahead and registered for my first IDPA match at one of those five nearby ranges. If nothing else, it will let me know whether or not I want to actively pursue this avenue of entertainment/training, and, in the best case …
Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the widow of “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry, has died. She was 76. Roddenberry, an actress who appeared in numerous “Star Trek” TV shows and movies, died Thursday of leukemia at her home in Bel-Air, Calif., her representative
One of the byproducts of living within an hour’s distance of about five different ranges (sometimes I really like this state) is that I have a plethora of choices available to me when it comes to competitive shooting – IDPA, USPSA, steel challenges, three-gun matches, cowboy-action shooting…
I am not a home designer, but I do know this: putting the closet and bathroom of a master suite at opposite diametrically opposite corners of the master bedroom is just frakking stupid. Stop doing it already!…
If I had the coinage, one of these would so be mine.

Yet another email sent off to the civil servants of my state:
Sir or ma’am,
My name is [NAME], and I am proud to have my handgun carry permit in the state of Tennessee. However, it has come to my attention that a new Handgun Safety School Class Roster has
You know, it is asinine, ignorant, idiotic, and racist gos-se like this that really gets on my nerves sometimes. First, did the author give a crap about Mrs. Bush, or Mrs. Clinton, or Mrs. Bush (wait a second…), or any of the other First Ladies? Of course not. This kind …
In searching and searching for a complete AR-15 upper in this absurdly-high-demand market, I have been trying just about every source, supplier, manufacturer, and assembler I can lay my grubby hands on. One of the more recent shots in the dark has been a firm by the name of American …
It is that time of the year again, othergunnies are putting up their Christmas lists, and since I seem to be running a bit dry on material at the moment, I figure I may as well follow suit. Uninspired? Me? Never. Or something… 1. That Del-Ton can finish all …
I. There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total,
New toy. And considering that Better Half and I are considering building a new house now, and that this thing looks like an outstanding way to fiddle around with floorplans, I may not be heard from for a few days.…
Well, I went ahead and did it today – I got my happy ass in line for a Del-Ton Inc.16in. Mid-Length Custom Upper. Granted, Sarah quoted me a turnaround time of about four months, so I am going to keep working with some other, smaller shops I have …
Well, it would appear as though a visitor from Macedonia, Ohio (where the frak is that?) clocked in as my 50,000th visitor at about 1600 eastern time this afternoon (assuming I am reading my StatCounter page right, which is debatable). Congratulations to him/her/it, and I suppose me. Hey, every record …
You know, I am not really sure which is worse: Option 1: Sticking something in the handle of a gas pump to keep the system running while you go inside to grab a soda… and leaving it long enough that you end up with at least a gallon or two …
When a craftsman tells you to come back in three or four months to get a product from him, you know you are a leetle behind the demand curve… Bugger all.…
In yet another tragedy of mortality, the legendary Bettie Page died today. Though she has been out of the public eye for quite some time now (at her own request – “I don’t want to be photographed in my old age.”), Bettie will be forever remembered as one of …
So the “ammunition accountability” bills running loose throughout state legislatures across the union are complete and utter loads of gos-se, for some blazingly obvious, and interestingly non-obvious reasons. First, this entire concept is going to be amazingly expensive and time-consuming to implement. By and large, bullets and casings are not …
