TGO David

Well played.

Best post in this thread yet.

You'll shoot your ass off with tha... oh, wait... nevermind. Nice holster. I'm curious as to why you feel it's better than the Raven Concealment Systems holster, unless it's just the MOLLE-ability of it.

Dude, I had an In and Out burger my first day here and that was one time too many. These people need a Five Guys Burgers And Fries. They have no clue what good fast burgers are.

I've had a few emails, PMs and IMs from folks who knew I was traveling this week, warning me that the mice have been playing. I'm inclined to laugh, but at the same time I'm afraid to look. At any rate, yours truly is typing this presently from the amazing Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA. Home of Fruits and Nuts, but also home this week of VMworld 2010. Today's the last day and I'm soon on my return flights back home. I promise everyone I'll dig into all of the various goings on that I've missed on TGO for the past week as soon as I get my feet back on the ground and have caught up with my family. Apologies if things got out of control in my absence. The mods do a great job but sometimes even they get overrun. I'll try to restore balance to the Force soon. In the meantime, feel free to use this thread for a repository (or is it suppository) of San Francisco jokes. Oh, coincidentally enough while I was riding the BART (Bay Area Rapit Transit) last night at about 11:30pm local-time, I ran into an older gentleman proudly wearing an NRA hat and carrying a Taser International duffel with an Ann Coulter book peeking out from the side pocket. I was sure to compliment him on his choice of accouterments and struck up a brief conversation with him. I think we both exited the bus happy to have found someone else with conservative leanings in such a liberal city. Just something to keep in mind, I suppose. Despite the freakishness of SanFran, there are some really good people out here. It's a shame most of them will perish when California finally slides off into the ocean.

I'm staying right off of the wharf.

OH MAN! TOO FUNNY! Haven't heard that one at ALLLL lately. The pepper spray is to make sure the other guy is the one experiencing a burning sensation.

100 meter long trestle would be a pretty good clip to run. Worst case scenario, he was right in the middle, 50yds from either end. And depending on how the "floor" of it was constructed, it may have been pretty open with lots of space between the ties. He should'a jumped.

Shouldn't have walked into the light.

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.
