Picture A Day – 5 February 2010

Yep, it’s raining again.  And not only in Vegas.  California’s getting soaked.  If I end up getting another 30 hours of overtime this upcoming week, I think I’m going to laugh my butt off thinking about the fun I can have with that kind of money   I’m thinking I might need a passport [...]

The Great Escape – Leaving AT&T for Verizon Wireless

This is the kind of story you don’t hear very often.  AT&T Wireless sent me a letter recently which told me that they really weren’t that happy having me as a customer after almost nine years.  Confused?  So was I at first.
What happened was that I was on one of their nationwide plans and more [...]

Arizona Road Trip In 2010?

Everyone knows I’m a pretty big fan of Hogjaw and their music.  What’s not to like?  Great guys and incredible music is a pretty good combination to my way of thinking   After listening to Two Guns on their myspace page and having heard about the place from Glenn and JB, I’ve got this [...]

New Report Coming Soon – Ballistic Resistance Testing of a Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse

About a year ago I purchased a wireless keyboard and mouse combo pack at Wal-Mart.  It’s been OK I guess – it’s done what I wanted it to.  Until lately that is.
Some of the keys on the keyboard have become a bit temperamental.  Of course, these wouldn’t be the keys I never use – those [...]

Las Vegas Weather – HUH???

I’ve always said (well at least since I had a clue about it) that Las Vegas is a land of extremes.  Extreme excess on the Strip, extreme displays of bad driving, and extreme weather.
Take the upcoming forecast:
Pay close attention to Friday and Saturday, particularly the high temperature.  Yep, it’s supposed to be about 14° cooler [...]

Next Addition To the Collection – Shotgun!

OK, so I’m now up to seven rifles and two handguns in my collection.  I’m still missing a couple of things.  I need a bayonet for my K31 rifle (the Swiss army rifle), a subcompact carry gun, and a shotgun to make things mostly rounded out.
It’s my firm belief that any weapon with a bayonet [...]

Possible Plans for Friday…

So just what the heck am I going to do tomorrow???  I mean, I live in Vegas for crying out loud
Work is a given.  I’ve gotta go to work to afford to live, right?  So what to do after work?  I know I have to go to the pet shop for food for [...]

Car Rental – Just For Fun?

I can’t remember just where my train of thought derailed tonight, but it wandered off the track and into the territory of renting a car just for the pure fun of having control of that machine for a while
Looking back, I think one of the very few things I miss from my time [...]

Restless in the Desert…

Today felt like summer for the first time and I can’t say I didn’t welcome it.  About 100 degrees, sunny, and humidity probably down in the lower double digits or high single digits.  Funny, I don’t think of that as hot anymore, just somewhat warm and nice.  How much more different from San Diego can [...]

Caribbean Cruise?

OK, maybe I won’t get an AR-15.
Cindy’s always wanted to go on a cruise and I’ve always wanted to see the Caribbean.
The total comes out to about $1,900 with airfare for the two of us round trip if I booked it today.  As you can see, these dates are in November of 2010.  I figure [...]
