I only have the A+ aced the test but I need more to even think about advancing. Kinda stuck at the moment. By all means get it, but get more. I have the old A+ that doesn't expire. I personally believe the certs are just a money racket, but like any other business they will hire the person with the cert with no experience over a person with years of experience.

This was found away from where I normally keep ammo. I believe this was some I had brought 2 years ago, before I got the PMR 30.

Nice thing about being an amateur hoarder . While cleaning around the house yesterday on my Birthday, I found the following. (I joke anytime something gets lost the house took it, well this time the house gave back.)

BTW, where did she get .22 ammo?

Wow, it is a wonder this wasn't drag out on major new networks like CNN for hours on hours leading people to believe the murder had actually happened to only retract it once later.

I agree, major pain in the arse. Glad she got what she wanted.

lets get back to Bacon, also known as Meat Candy.

I was going to create a Dianne Feinstein meme about high capacity biscuit tubes but didn't feel like looking at her long enough to put it together.

They just told on CNN that some of the crew was among those killed. Ever year there are deaths on that Mt. People temp it and ... -
No idea in your area. I have found a few places to fish in OR but not many. I guess not having a boat hurts.

QUESTION: Where do the threads go when they are deleted? 1) The Catholic's approach to deleted threads: The nice threads go to thread heaven, where life is good. The threads are bathed in the light of happiness, all their troubles are soothed, and there's not a delete thread button in sight. Most of the nice threads are A's and I's, those that have never been, er, involved with other threads. Often, you'll see A's or I's with N's or T's. These are threads in love: monogamous on the page, together again after deletion. You'll see quite a few Q's too. They seem to feel particularly guilty for no good reason. The naughty threads are punished for their sins. In case you were wondering what the difference between a nice thread and a naughty thread is, I'll tell you. Naughty threads are those involved in the creation of naughty words, such as "breast," "sex," "objectivity," and depending upon usage, words such as "feminism," "reproductive freedom," "contraception," and "science." You may ask, and rightly so, why the threads are blamed for the words they assemble, when in fact they are not responsible for their own configuration. But we feel that a thread has an obligation to oppose any naughtiness in its own configuration. If it truly felt guilty about the word it was forming, it would rebel. --------------------------------- 2) The Buddhist Explanation: If a thread has lived rightly, and its karma is good, then after it has been deleted it will be reincarnated as a different, higher thread. Those funny characters above the numbers on your keyboard will become numbers, numbers will become letters, lower-case letters will become upper-case, and the most righteous and good of letters will become C's. Why C, you ask? Who knows, but C it is! If a thread's karma is not so good, then it will move down the above scale, ultimately becoming the lowest of characters, a space. -------------------------------------- 3) The 20th Century bitter cynical nihilist explanation: Who cares? All threads are the same, swirling in a vast sea of meaningless nothingness. It doesn't really matter if they're on the page, deleted, undeleted, underlined, etc. It's all the same. More threads should delete themselves. (nihilist threads are easy to identify. They're usually pale and tragic, and they smoke a lot.) -------------------------------------- 4) The Mac user's explanation: All the threads written on a PC and then deleted go straight to PC hell. If you're using a PC, you can probably see the deleted threads, because you're in PC hell also. -------------------------------------- 5) Stephen King's explanation: Every time you hit the key you unleash a tiny monster inside the cursor, who tears the poor unsuspecting threads to shreds, drinks their blood, then eats them, bones and all. Hah, hah, hah! ------------------------------------- 6) Dave Barry's explanation: The deleted threads are shipped to Battle Creek, Michigan, where they're made into Pop-Tart filling; this explains why Pop-Tarts are so flammable, while cheap imitations are not as flammable. I'm not making any of this up. ------------------------------------- 7) IBM's explanation: The threads are not real. They exist only on the screen when they are needed, as concepts, so to delete them is merely to de-conceptualize them. Get a life. ------------------------------------- 8) Environmentalist's Explanation: You've been DELETING them???? Can't you hear them SCREAMING??? Why don't you go CLUB some BABY SEALS while wearing a MINK, you pig!!!!

and in breaking news 12 killed, 4 missing in avalanche on Everest http://www.wbir.com/story/news/world/2014/04/18/12-killed-3-missing-in-avalanche-on-everest/7859839/ That mountain still isn't anything to mess with. I didn't see anything about if this would affect the jump. -
That seems about the price stingers was before all this happened. I would have took the box but then again I like stingers. Also because I haven't seen any .22 in store in about a year. a box of 50 stingers is normally about the same price as a box of 100 non stingers.

on Williamsburgs list 1. Really like as I skip allot of shows as I figure I don't want to pay 20 bucks to get me and my wife both in, fine, 18 with 2 dollar off coupons. Still paying for her to walk around and not buy anything. 2. Good points. 3. Yea I see allot of non gun related stuff. 4. I like the unloading area idea, would be much better then right at the door way where others are trying to squeeze past you. One of those pop up canopys would be the trick outside with those sand barrels. 5. I would always like a discount.

no outrageous mark ups on ammo.

I am sure I would have no standing using David's sticker and all. Kinda like when Tesla was told Marconi was attempting long range radio communications. Tesla said let him, he is using my patients while he moved on to better things. If David were to make an official version of that, I would get it for my truck. Right now, I think I was 6-7 dollars for the tag and whatever I paid David for the sticker. BTW, I had several vendors to choose from on Amazon and I picked the one that on the tag at least said Made in the U.S.A. Not all of them had that.

OK I am going to assume someone went back there and did something else. I had been keeping watch on that when ever I just happened to be passing though. I noticed I wasn't seeing them at all. No special trips or anything. Last Sunday I was in a need for a mailbox in a hurry so I just went to Walmart to get one. I picked up one and the flaps on the box came open and spilled about 50 of those no gun signs from the mailbox box. Nothing I could really do but act surprised as one of the walmart associates was standing right there. I just said, I don't know where that came from. Put that one back and took a different one while they cleaned it up.

I took one of the TGO stickers I brought and put it on this tag. It almost lined up perfect but had to use some white paint on the very edge. I am not big on putting bumper stickers of any kind on my vehicles but putting them on a removable part isn't bad.

An entire Florida family opens up on home invader

Joe Biden was wrong, warning shots don't work. never recommend a warning shot. Ammo is to expensive to waste. -
On the lighter side - how NOT to fish with a hand grenades

OK, my doors have been replaced. I will say they are pretty solid. No door/lock is going to stop everything, but it is certain going to make my home much tougher then surrounding homes. The outer storm door, is really a security door with a lock that is keyed on both sides. I forgot to take a before picture but the previous door from the 1940's had a single pane of glass just inches from the door locks. Break glass, unlock in less then 10 seconds. Many houses around still have that. I never liked it and can't believe I waited as long as I did to take care of it. Yes, you can see other things in the picture that I need to address about the porch. It is on the list. Also, these doors are very air tight. In fact, with either closed and closing the other, air pressure builds up more then I expected. I know I also just got the number one draft in my house fixed at the same time.
