quick pics of ye olde emergency kit

It still needs a stove, a small pry-bar and more batteries. The blue bottle contains water purification supplies and basic toiletries.

I wish my brain would have been pulsed.

I finished reading "Cell" by Stephen King. I'm not a die-hard King fan but I do like a few of his short stories. I was willing to look past my opinions on his work and take a chance with "Cell".

It started off strong and I was hooked. Cool concept, no messing around, the story gets right down to brass tacks. Then the characters started to really annoy me. It seems like he has a small selection of character types and they get recycled in each story. If you've read/seen "The Mist" and read "The Cell", you'll see what I mean.

Add to the annoyance, the obvious fact that Stephen King knows nothing about firearms. I have a hard time reading stories when people can't get the facts straight. I don't mean just about firearms. If I'm reading a story and the author is talking about cars but he keeps writing about VWs coming from the factory with a big block V8 and 4x4 Geo Metros, it's gonna get on your nerves. I can look past the obvious anti-gun messages, that's fine but at least know what you are talking about.


The story is a cool idea, too bad someone else didn't write it.

Ouch...sorry for the pun, I couldn't resist.

Coolest garage sale ever!

So the Mrs and I went to quite a few garage/yard sales today. But at my friend's neighbors house, I was digging through a box of misc Army medals and junk. My eyes caught something square and metal. Holy crap, two AR mags! I found two 20 round Colt AR mags. Nothing rare, right, but not something you find at a garage sale. So, for $15 I bought an angle grinder, circular saw and two 20 round mags. Pretty good deal!

Guess I need to buy another lower and finally have an AR. Which works well since I've been cashing in my Ibonds each month. I figure the govt takes enough of my money, no need for them to get more.
