For a couple years I've been wanting to meet Indiucky and see his shop. Well, after delaying far too long, I made it. I had the week off, and my brother took half the day off. So south we went for three hours, and boy, was it worth it. His shop is every bit as BBI has described it: a museum...
A friend of mine sent me this:
The Depressing Industrial City of Norilsk | Amusing Planet
I'm kind of blown away. There are a lot of incredible facts pertaining to this city. And none of them are good.
So, if you're from Norilsk, and you're reading this, thanks for the nickel.
About 1/2 mile from my house there is a curve on US 35 that has been the scene of more wrecks than I can count. Without exaggerating, I would have to say 30 in the last 3 years. It isn't difficult to navigate, there are more difficult curves nearby which do not see nearly the number of accidents...
So I've been pretty critical of Trump recently, and with good reason. But it was pointed out that I have given the impression that I don't like him. First of all, this isn't personal. Heck, I couldn't stand Obama's presidency, but I've never met the man. I can't say that we wouldn't be best...
So I was talking to some old high school friends the other day on Facebook, and the conversation was about how different things are since we graduated. This one girl who had been a close friend (never dated, though) joked about the crazy pajamas she used to wear when she was younger. I got a big...
For those of you who care, I just got back from a cruise. For those of you who do not care, I just got back from a cruise. And yes, it was amazing. It was hot, I have a tan, and I snorkeled with a squid, barracuda, and lots of beautiful fish. Also, I gained mucho pounds. Mahi Mahi or Veal Parm...
For those of you from ECI, you will recall Ludco Gunshop in Parker City (a scant 3 miles from my boyhood home). As most everyone knows, he made a straw sale and spent 38 months in club fed. Some time back he was released and started the shop back up, obviously without the FFL license and...
So what's in the classifieds that has your interest?
Brookville reservoir has a trail around it if you want a really long walk, or just take sections at a time.
I'm looking at you Indiucky.
So I came across a Youtube channel, and thought I would share. It's called capandball, and it's put on by a guy out of Hungary. (No, that is not an outrrrrageous French accent.) He covers historically accurate attire, reloading and maintenance procedures, and of...
Just when I thought I was starting to narrow down my next handgun purchase.
Q5 MATCH - Walther Arms
So now I'm considering abandoning my next practical purchase for a fun gun.
I just purchased my first suppressor from Beech Grove Firearms, and I have to say, it was a very positive experience.
To make this a long story, last fall I e-filed a Form 1, but it was kicked back months later because I had left the "NSL" off the serial number when I filed. It doesn't look...
The terrorists have won, we clearly have no sense anymore.
A 6 year old Indianapolis boy underwent surgery last night after being severely injured by a dog. The dog was surrendered to Animal Control, where he will undergo a 10 day quarantine and behavioral evaluation...
So tell me about your favorite scandi. We're talking about a 3-4" drop point full tang with either high carbon or a quality stainless steel. I've seen the ESEE RB3, which I really like based on what I've seen on their site. I also think some of the Helles are nice. I might pick one up next year...
BLUF: Nurpu is no longer in business, Log Home Center and Supply still is, Kevin is still the owner, they carry a variety of Gransfors Bruks and Wetterlings axes.
So I was looking for a local place to get my hands on a Gransfors Bruks and/or a Wetterlings. Stumbled across an old thread on here...
My my boss gave me a knife today for fixing the Pitman Arm on his truck the other day. I was on the clock, and didn't expect anything, really. Well, he appreciated it, and gave me a Griptilian. Boy I have a rough job. Sorry about the pic, the iPhone doesn't love me.
I'm looking for an Inforce APL. I really would like the black version, but I would settle for the fde for the right price. Optics Planet has them for $115, but if I can buy from an INGOer I would prefer to do that. Thanks!
My wife's cousin invited me to see Fantastic Four tonight. We always have a good time hanging out, so he and I and my BIL went to Muncie to watch it. I don't go to movies much, they're expensive and there are the security concerns. But once in a while I will go.
Overall, it was a great evening...
