Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! Seems what's up with Ye Olde Eyeballs was a transient ischaemic attack (TIA), sometimes known as a mini-stroke...the blurred vison and all whatnot. I'm fine considering all the other shit I've weathered in Ye Short Time on Planet Mud. The issue was well on it's way to being resolved when the eye went from 'slightly bad' to 'cain't fookin see!' Pisses me off that being right-eyeball dominant and it's now well and truly fooked. So blurry that even it's 'out of range' to correct through my scopes and sights.  So, as it got better, -something- else happened. Got me a nice cataract forming.  Correctible, however a total piss-me-off.  Thankfully ALL dis shid is happening now  rather than post-Zombiepocalypse Aye?  Also woke up with a WHANGER of a headache/toofus ache as I'm out of the Good Meds.  My issue is tolerance and size.  Scripting me pain meds by the puny hoomon scale just don't work. 

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! OK... lots of great comments  about Shaniqua and her late great antics.  Fucking you guys are an absolutely a - brutal - bunch of fuckers... a tougher crowd than at the Apollo apparently.  So, been meaning to 'take up the mantel' a bit on my personal experiences in the tank world. Much to my horror back in the day, they took my MOS, 11H and declared it and the weapons system deader n' Kellsey's nuts.  11H as in Hotel, was the designation of a Heavy Anti-Armor Infantryman who's primary job was to run the TOW-2 weapons system.   Tube Launched Optically Tracked Wire Guided Missile system.  Now, of course   Uncle Sugar done fucked up by the numbers as it's been re-issued/rebuilt and re-evaluated.  The ITOW (Improved) TOW is back but they still kilt the MOS.  Which meant I got involuntarily reclassed to being an M1A1 (at the time the A1H (Heavy) was the star of the show in 1996.) crewmember.  We were the first Unit in the US ARmy (1

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! BIG WARNING:  EXCEPTIONALLY  GRAPHIC AND BLOODY PICS IN THIS HERE POAST, CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED OK< warning out of the way. No bitching allowed. Been 'down for the count' the past 3 days. I literally went to 4 different dentists to get this bad toofus pulled, and no one  was willing to do it, well... leastways for a reasonable fee .   The killer is I have "insurance" which I put in quotes as, since this fucking debacle started I found out that A) it only works in Florida  and that B) no one apparently takes it  and IF and that's a BIG IF, they're scheduled to the balls out stupid level timeframe that I just can't fucking wait for.  The one place  that was going to do it out of pocket want $2000  to do it!!!!  They included a 'bone graft' which I couldn't understand, nor get a straight answer on, so hard pass there. The last place I needs a medical release 'cos I naturally run 'hot' on my blood

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! Whoooole lotta 'badness' going on 'round teh intarhwhebz.  First was Glen Filthie having to put down his doggo Mort...pure suckage there...  Then it was news about Gerard van Der Leun getting hit with the "Big C" and being in hospice.  That's two strikes... So far.... This followed right after with Borepatch and his news about HIS doggo Wolfgang, and his possibly imminent Rainbow Bridge Moment.  That  one in particular totally sucks 'cos I know both Borepatch, The Queen of the World and said aforementioned Good Boi.  Wifey and I were lucky enough to get to bread bread at Casa Borepatch, and met El Perro Grande.  Wifey is crushed by the news...  He is, and will be always  a Good Boi.   Big ole loaf of a doogie.  One of those rare ones who don't know his age... a terminal 'puppy love attitude' and man, a fucking crying shame he's at the end of a good run. THEN  as if things didn't suck enough in the ble

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! Oxy is one hell  of a drug but has me wiped out.  The Doc hooked me up for the broken toofus, and that's getting taken care of tomorrow, now that I'm over the bug I had.  Swear to God it's a non-stop shytte show around here.  Hell, I ain't even seen Sapper as of late as they're shorthanded on his crew, so literally his overtime for the last time period was 80 straight hours, and then 38  OT hours... like a full month's pay in two weeks. Thank the Good Lord above for that, Wifey's working and my own paltry contributions, we, with the assist of a loan (at obscene interest rates) got the Central Air swapped out!!!! Yay! My Main Man JoeAC hooked a brother UP man! A brand new 10 year total-warrantied External Compressor and Inside Blower unit. Think it's actually called the air handler and heat pump, but WTF do I know?  I do know that it's a 3.5 ton unit. We had been running a very inefficient  2.5 ton that barely kept s

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! Not sure if I picked up the Flu from Spawn (he was down for a few days w/it) or if it's the broken toofus in mah haid that's laying me low.  Had to call in from Glorious People's Tractor Factory to day as I just -couldn't- do it.  Slept in til 10, feeling like shit, after barfing all day/night yesterday and off and on all night long.  Achy all over which tells me 'flu' more than anything else. Some sad news out there if'n you already didn't hear Gerard Van der Leun is on his last ride vis-a-vis Le Cancer.   Seems they (the croakers) found it late, and he's on a clock that's ticking into the 'red zone'.. looks like he's got a few weeks... that Fucking Sucks man. Been there, done that, and fortunately I survived. Gerard, however, from what we're being told isn't in such a position. In the inimitable words of the Great Philosophers of My Generation (Gen X), the Esteemed Beavis and Butthead: &quo

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! It's been making the rounds courtesy of David Codriea over at Ammoland dot com.   Press Covers for North Carolina Sheriff’s ‘Firing Squad’ ~ VIDEO Seems that about a month ago, the Sheriff's office in Cherokee County North Carolina got a call about a possible shooting and hostage situation.  What happened was caught on vidya... Vidya that the cops didn't know about at the time  and completely nuked their narrative.   After the initial shooting, the press release stated:  " Jason Harley Kloepfer, age 41, of 1790 Upper Bear Paw Road, Murphy, NC has been charged with Communicating Threats and Resist, Obstruct, and Delay,” the release continues. “The matter remains under investigation and more charges may follow.” The Sheriff's Department put this out on their Fecesbook page: Problem was it was a pile of fucking bullshit. The local Ministry of Propaganda and Lies followed the Regime Script that Mr. Kloepfer "confronted" the

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! So, being back in Tampa, I had to do some 'digging' for some pieces-parts and whatnot today, as Spawn came by.  We -were- supposed to go to the range, but things went a bit whonky.  I was at GunGirl's place, who most sadly, is folding up her tent in light of the ATF being the assholes that they are, and she's going to be closing her doors in the next few.  She had a bunch of gunsmithing tools and some fiddly-bits (of which I'm soooo fond of having on hand) that she gave me gratis.  There's also the rent issue, in that the current owner of the building she's in has doubled  the rent with no warning nor good reason, outside of Blackrock Profits. Yeah, them fuckers bought out a -bunch- of local business buildings, and then up'd da rent like a motherfucker. Now I have to find a new FFL in a few months dammit. Anywhooo So, in among the parts was a competition grade 17.5 pound Wolf Manufacturing Heavy mainspring for a 1911A1
