So, I have (to test): 1 factory mag 1 pro-mag replacement mag 1 factory mag, modified by me, with a replacement spring (for a Para P14, suggested here). I’ve also lowered the front of the mag by cutting off some of the metal and then sanding it smooth. We’ll see if any of those work. [...]

This morning, we had about 3 inches, everything was cancelled, it was snowing faster than the plows can plow, and we were (are) supposed to get a total of about a foot, with more to the southeast (guess which way work is….).

So, some months ago, I bought a Taurus PT145 at a gun show: I’ve been pretty silent on it, because I was trying to work the kinks out of it, and didn’t want to go saying stuff about a company until it was all said and done. It now is. As mentioned before, it doesn’t [...]

Been busy, but still here. I’ve updated the blog to WP 3.8. I also had a bit of an overloaded meltdown a couple of weeks ago. Basically, the working theory was that we weren’t going to work on the house or do anything until after the potatoes went in (which happens about the second week [...]

You know that burger king mascot dude? Who, like, shows up at the end of peoples’ beds all Donnie Darko creepy in the commercials? I want to see someone do a bedstand draw and mozambique the dude. That’ll teach him to sneak up in the middle of the night. In other news, I ordered some [...]

So, a friend of mine gave a financial planner/insurance benefits guy our info, which is fine. We met with him, not interested, upstanding guy, no issues. The flip side to this is that (for some reason), my mind went to dark places. * What if he was casing the house? * What if he was [...]
