Picture(s) A Day – 11 June 2010 – Machine Gun & Silencer at Infinite Arms

Work was not fun this week.  Yeah, yeah, I can already hear you saying that it wouldn’t be called work if it were fun, but it still wasn’t.  Putting in about 35 hours of overtime last month and another extra 8 hours last Saturday has gotten me rather farther along the path to burnout than [...]

Picture A Day – 8 September 2009

So, I’m starting to get myself prepared for possible nightmare scenarios which I hope never hope come to pass.  Hey, don’t laugh – an extended power outage is nothing to sneeze at and what if the water stops flowing?  Yeah, not fun. I ended up at Wal Mart yesterday and picked up some cup of [...]

You Learn Something New Every Day – Radioactive Lantern Mantles???

So I decided the other day to go ahead and get just a little prepared.  I went to Wal Mart to pick up a single burner propane stove and some storable food and figured while I was buying the stove, it might just be a halfway decent idea to get a single mantle propane lantern [...]
