After a particularly bad day when I was late for a staff meeting I ended up screaming at the supply NCO over this. Felt bad about it later but he took the rifle and I didn't get an rear end chewing for skipping a meeting.

I built an M4gery like the ones we carried in Iraq because I had an AR because I decided to go in for the group buy with the engraved lowers the battalion did and figured that was worth doing with it.

It's nothing like the M4 I carried in Iraq, though, because I didn't carry an M4 in Iraq.

Dang. I was gonna say just buy an m4 blue gun, it can't be that much since it's just a chunk of plastic. Apparently they sell for upwards of $200 tho :stare:

My 10 year old Sony tv blew the projection lamp today. Went and got a 32" to replace the 37" Sony. Didn't realize how light tvs have gotten. My brother's 32" is heavier than the Sony, but this cheap tiny thing weighed less than 10 pounds in the box.

Going to fix the Sony because I love that tv. Lamps are $70~ and it's stupid easy to change. Just didn't want to wait until monday at the earliest before shows up in the mail.

Same. I drug a SAW around and it beat my back and legs to death.

Doesn't S&W still make good quality guns? I'm always tempted to drop money on one of theirs as opposed to paying the same for a bubba built gun.

I just left mine in the conex with the M2 for the MRAP because I was issued a sidearm. I didn't have to carry that thing around, so I didn't.

The armorer in my unit would do poo poo like that. He was assigned an A2 and was constantly trying to lighten. When an officer or senior nco would take leave, he'd check out and carry their pistol and leave the A2 in the former cell we called an arms room.

He was nice enough to clean the pistols before reissuing them back to whoever. No one gave a poo poo because he was also supply and no one wanted to be cut from his class 9 gift list.

My workplace finally got my desk/cubicle area set up. I had them set everything so that it would be a standing desk all the time. I really like standing desks. This is probably the lamest work related thing I've ever been excited about. Now I can actually settle in!

Enjoy the next few days laying on the floor. Easy on the intake, nothing is worse than taking a brutal taco-fuelled poo poo after your back goes out, especially when it's the lumbar range.

Knees up, feet flat, ice, naprosyn. Hope there's a show you've been putting off binging, because that's all you'll be doing for a day or three or seven.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

so i stopped by my moms house last night and her driveway is insanely steep

my rwd boat couldnt back out of it since it was freshly iced over. i started autin powersing it to turn it around, and dropped the back end off the end of the driveway into the woodsline, about 7" of frozen leaves and loose dirt

after 30 mins of digging out and trying rugs and cat litter under the back end i stood up to get back in the car and try again.

heard a pop and knew i'd be feeling that later

drove my moms car home and came back in the morning to have aaa winch me out. at the very least i had the front end pointed the right way so it was easy as hell

back is hurting now, but im going to bed after working all night and i know waking up is going to be a blast. at least i got to putz around in my moms new civic. i was pretty impressed tbh

They do, but there is absolutely zero reason to buy a new one. The world is swimming in used Model 10s (they've made about 6,000,000 so far) and it's easy to pick one up in good mechanical shape for sub $400.

Oh, I have a revolver already.

I was talking about the M&P15, which is why I mentioned Bubba Built guns. I've seen the M&P15 running from $550-700 for their bottom end example. I don't want all the extra bullshit attachments they charge extra for with higher end S&Ws.

I just figured, solid history, solid guns, surely their ar clone is just as solid and reliable. Better than buying a pawn shop example with a mix of branded parts.
