Oh Teh Noes!

I’m somewhat better today; I don’t think I have the ManBearPig Flu.

But…

The Super WalMart nearest the Boathouse is completely sold out of Purell.

Paniczors!

This is a great deal.

Back from Destin.

A guy called me today with a question about a Glock pistol. A question which I couldn’t answer without Google (whether the 3rd gen mini-Glocks have a light rail; they don’t).

I had to have a moment of silence right there.

Vacation

In Destin. Getting tanned, rested and ready. Red Bull and BBQ pork skin levels at maximum.

The Boater Corollary

Filed under: — Forlorn Boater @ 8:17 pm

Hofstadter’s Law says:

It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take Hofstadter’s Law into account.

The Boater Corollary to Hofstadter’s Law:

You always need more ammo cans than you order, even when you take the Boater Corollary into account.

My UPS man HATES me.

Why are you using that crappy cameraphone?

This awful pic is the Bass Pro Shops ammo section from today. Res ipsa loquitur.

Gunz

Filed under: — Forlorn Boater @ 5:51 pm

You know, I started this whole blog thing off to talk about guns, and then I never do. Here goes, just a little: I bought a new gun this weekend. It’s a Sig P226, in caliber… .22 LR.

P226 .22 LR

P226 .22 LR

I couldn’t resist. I’ve sort-of wanted a Mosquito for a while, but that’s not really the full Sig experience, and this is the real deal; you can put a real centerfire 226 slide / barrel on top if’n you want to. I haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet, but I’m hoping to get to do that in a couple of weeks (after spring break / vacation).

(It also just SCREAMS “suppressor host.”)
