Speaking of Revolvers

June 4th, 2011 | 2 Comments | Posted in Pass the ammo, ramblings

Do want!

Not for defense or anything, just because it is so unusual looking

Course, if I can’t find one, I could always go with the next generation version – the Rino

In all honesty though, I like the Mateba Autorevolver better just based on aesthetics.

If it happens, I guess I won’t have to go to work.

That would be nice.

Happy New Year

December 31st, 2010 | 1 Comment | Posted in ramblings

Yes, I am participating in the traditional New Years post and wishing all two of my readers a very happy and blessed New Year.

The wife and I will be taking it easy this year in our new home, something about being pregnant and tired I guess.  Anyway, we will be watching movies and enjoying the antics of our new boy cats as well and the companionship of our older girl cats.

Tomorrow it is over to the parents to enjoy some Posole and if you have never had it, I suggest you try it some time.  It’s not a heavy dish, but if you make it the way my dad does it will carry a lot of heat as well as flavor, though you may have to put out the fire in your mouth to get to the flavor part.  Thankfully my mom make a batch for normal humans who don’t have tongues made of asbestos so I usually mix the two so I can hit the right level for me.

Anyway, Happy New Year and may 2011 treat us all much better than 2010 did!

The Difference

March 23rd, 2010 | 1 Comment | Posted in ramblings, The wife and I

Took the wife to lunch at Subway over near the docks.  As we are sitting in our car, parked – engine off – the driver of a taxi parked right next to us opens his door and slammed it into our car with enough force to rock us to the side.  I get out and thankfully, because it’s a Saturn I think, there is no damage to the door panel and this guy is backing away from me pretty quick.

I blow it off and climb back in (The wife was on the phone so I was waiting for her) and I watch the taxi guy walk away.  As he is moving I see something fall out of his pocket and recognize that it is money.  So, I get out walk over and pick it up.  It’s twenty bucks.   The guy still hasn’t noticed he lost it and I could just walk away $20 richer and he would never know.  He did slam the hell out of my car after all.

I hollered at him and when he turned around handed him the money he dropped.

That’s the difference between us and them.  We do what we do because it really is the right thing.  They do what they do to grab whatever they can while claiming it’s for the ‘greater good’.
