TGO David

I've been slacking pretty hard on my gun shop visits for the past months. Mostly due to my insane work schedule, but partially due to knowing better than to go places that would take my money in exchange for new toys that go boom. I'm still exercising discipline in the latter, but I had a need for some pepper spray for an upcoming business trip to the land of Fruits and Nuts... so I took a trip toward Christiana today. If you haven't seen the renovations going on at The Outpost, you're in for a treat. An expanded showroom is almost done and the place was literally packed with gear. Almost so much that you couldn't walk in places; but you won't hear me complaining about that and I suspect you won't hear anyone else complaining either. I'm really impressed with how the place is shaping up! Chris and Butch both said they hope to have the new expansion complete in October, and I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. Now... I just need to convince my wife that I need that Nighthawk T3 in the display case.

DO WANT!!!

Guys like you keep guys like you in business, Medic.

Negative. I spoke with Chris Costa at length about this but I never could find a facility (or just land, for that matter) where we could have room to stretch our legs and run as many shooters side-by-side as they prefer to have on the line at once.

Such a brilliant post full of common sense. Nicely done.

If I change yours to "St. Anger" would you be upset?

lol... I don't mind doing it for folks provided I have the time and provided they don't just do it over and over and over.

I'm extremely grateful to have a steady job with a good group of people I really enjoy working with, especially with so many folks looking for work. It's just harder getting adjusted to the number of hours we put in than I thought it was going to be. I couldn't really tell you where the last eight months have gone; they're just gone. It kind of sucks not being able to say where summer went.

Fixed.

Bill Burke's 4-Wheeling America - off road 4x4 driver training. Reportedly THE guy to take instruction from.

lol... I don't understand people's fascination with Farmville. We fired a guy from work not too long ago because that's all he did on the clock.

Joe, your story is pretty much why I've spent less time on TGO lately. Right now I'm still trying to figure out how to balance the demands my job is putting on me (which includes more hours than ever), spending time with my family and spending time doing leisurely things just for my own enjoyment. Thankfully I am often able to combine family and leisure time, but when push comes to shove I always try to err on spending time with them rather than doing whatever satisfies my own selfish amusement. Unfortunately surfing TGO for pleasure often falls into the latter category. I'm still quite busy behind the scenes here making adjustments to the server, performing maintenance, etc. Just not as busy posting as I would like to be. I had thought this would change a little during those times I'm sitting in a hotel room, but I'm usually too tired to keep my eyes open for very long. My work travel will slow down a lot after the first week of September, but then some travel with my family picks right up.

Ya'lls administrator sounds like a complete douche. Let's overthrow him.

That's an even worse schedule than mine. That said, my schedule doesn't slow down until November. It's kind of crazy.

Time for bed... I can't wait to see where this thread goes for the next few hours. Consider this time a reprieve from any violent outbursts punctuated with me throwing things.

It's the Christian thing to do.

Hey, you know... I'm starting to see why you got fired. It had zero to do with your bumper sticker or your gun collection. Lots to do with your people skills.

Tactical Metatarsals... duh.

It's a colloquial term. Honestly, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt despite all of the throwing and revenging you're doing.

You need to let this just be water under the bridge and move on. Trying to get revenge by having the other guy fired, in addition to throwing crap around at work, really does paint you as having some anger issues. Do the Christian thing and just kick the Domino's flour off your shoes and go be happy somewhere else. Someone smarter than me at the time once observed that the best revenge in life is being successful and happy. Do these things and you win.

FWIW... Work issued me, several colleagues and our boss iPhone 4's back a few weeks ago when they first came out. While I absolutely love the iPhone for its web browser, Cisco VPN support, millions of apps and excellent email reader, I have two major bitches about it. One of which can sort of be remedied by jail breaking it, and one of which cannot: 1. There is no way to customize your email alert tones w/o jail breaking the phone. I've tried the Pushmail and Mailtones apps but neither of them work very well. I need this functionality when I am on call for work because I do not want the phone keeping me awake all night with mail alerts unless the mail is from a certain address belonging to our on-call system. 2. The AT&T network b-l-o-w-s. It's tons better than it was back in the day, but it still drops calls at random -- even when the phone is just sitting there in the center console of my truck and I'm connected by Bluetooth. Clearly not an issue of me handling the antenna bits incorrectly. Clearly just a fact of the matter that the AT&T network still sucks bilge water. I am on the cusp of asking for a Blackberry again and just letting them issue this iPhone to someone else. At least with the BB I had a decent network (Sprint) backing it up and could customize my mail alerts. If I do get another BB for work, I'll pick up a Droid-X for personal use on my Verizon plan.

I'd order it with the plain jane plastic Glock sights and replace them with some of the Warren Tactical two-dot night sights. http://www.skdtac.com/Warren_Tactical_Sight_Tritium_2_Dot_Set_p/wrt.202.htm

I'd love to do this. I'm a tentative maybe, but October already has me out of town half the month.

GLAD to hear it ran well for you. This is the sort of range report I'm used to hearing from Glock owners.

I'll gladly take getting older to the alternative any day. I think maybe this weekend I will make time to go out and punch some holes in paper. Haven't done that in... months.
