Got a few shots, some meds and prescriptions made to pick up later this morning when they open up at 0800. I have surgery on the 16th in Phoenix to remove that jacket fragment. Saintmark, another arfcomer but rarely posts had something serious to him too. He was headstrong just like me and his wife read him the riot act as well after he came back from shooting and said he had problems trying to focus on the sights of the pistol he was shooting and was blacking out too while standing up. He ended up needing heart surgery. Point? Listen to your wives and don't be so damn headstrong. Prayers out, take care of yourself man. +1 |

Today was almost my birthday, so many things came in at once. I got to do my thing and install some parts, so close to finishing the 9mm AR, cannot wait to get it finally done and start with the next lower, going to be a beater build complete with s spray paint camo job. My first spray paint anything, too. FDE does an excellent job concealing somewhat a rifle when viewed upon with night vision and does double duty to keep the gun cool while in the car all day baking in the AZ sun. Tomorrow me and Rich_V will be going to our favorite LGS and while he's shopping for reloading supplies, I'll be picking up a new pistol. Probably buy some supplies myself while there and maybe a few boxes of my carry ammo to help break this one in 
Tonight was funny. The wife asked what I wanted for supper. I said soup or a salad but not both. She did it the arfcom way; both

I've kinda got the hankering to build a 9mm AR, but I'm not much on 9mm. Which one did you go with? The Colt type or the PSA Glock type. I'd like to do one in .40 or 10mm. Seen the Odin works uppers for either. Of course I'd SBR it before 41F goes into effect. |

I'd rather do a 10mm too, but feeding it is rather expensive even for reloading in the numbers needed  which sucks, because 10mm is all sorts of awesome
I decided on 9x19 because it's my SHTF pistol ammo and I have thousands of it loaded, reloads, and factory cases of it. Easier to process the brass and uses less powder so if times were at a pinch, I can take a pound of something and get 1,600 rounds made and have a lot to go shooting with. |

Colt pattern. I actually wanted a Glock pattern, but New Frontier was OOS everywhere and so too was Lone Wolf for their lowers. PSA had no offerings yet and Stag and RRA lowers even in Colt patterns were impossible to find stripped. But CMMG MK9 lowers was prevalent so I went with that. Plus further researching I found out that with a CMMG enhanced bolt I could use any AR15 TCG in it with no worries of the hammers getting damaged and still be able to not lose big money with a deadlined SSA or something similar.

Night life, hit Pete's Dueling Piano bar and and call the night good, very relaxing place and fun atmosphere. If outdoors is your thing, Valley of Fire on the other side of the 215 and see some really cool petroglyphs. Calico Basin is another cool place. |

There is a lot of stuff to do here. Glacier walks, volcano tours, horseback riding, hiking, biking, ect. You just have to get a guide for the most part. There are a lot of American tourists here everytime we come here. Just walk down the street, and listen. You can tell. Most everyone speaks English as a second language, but you can tell the American accents.
The place where Regan told Gorby to shove it is right down the road. Most of yall wont remember that, it was 1986, and not very publicized. But it eventually let to the Berlin wall coming down.
I was TDY at Checkpoint Charlie about six months before Regan's speech in Berlin asking Gorby to "Tear down this Wall." I remember all of that. I've got a hat with WWRD (What would Reagan do?) embroidered on the front. I'm afraid to wear it.
Well...it's a small and has been used (and looks it), or I would gladly send it to you.

Got a few shots, some meds and prescriptions made to pick up later this morning when they open up at 0800. I have surgery on the 16th in Phoenix to remove that jacket fragment. Saintmark, another arfcomer but rarely posts had something serious to him too. He was headstrong just like me and his wife read him the riot act as well after he came back from shooting and said he had problems trying to focus on the sights of the pistol he was shooting and was blacking out too while standing up. He ended up needing heart surgery. Point? Listen to your wives and don't be so damn headstrong. Really glad you found out what it was. I'm playing catch up so hope you're still okay and this is going to be simple. Old soldiers still think they're bulletproof.

Much better now, taking the edge off the pain really well. Was finally able to get back to work too. I missed being busy. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GSL:

There is a lot of stuff to do here. Glacier walks, volcano tours, horseback riding, hiking, biking, ect. You just have to get a guide for the most part. There are a lot of American tourists here everytime we come here. Just walk down the street, and listen. You can tell. Most everyone speaks English as a second language, but you can tell the American accents.
The place where Regan told Gorby to shove it is right down the road. Most of yall wont remember that, it was 1986, and not very publicized. But it eventually let to the Berlin wall coming down.
I was TDY at Checkpoint Charlie about six months before Regan's speech in Berlin asking Gorby to "Tear down this Wall." I remember all of that. I've got a hat with WWRD (What would Reagan do?) embroidered on the front. I'm afraid to wear it.

I'm doing much better, the pleurisy is almost gone, but they are worried about an infection so I got more meds for that today during my semiannual check up. Lab results were way better than the last two times. Life changes with my diet and more physical therapy so I can actually go out and do things has helped a lot and has given me new founded motivation for life...and the fact that this "old" soldier needs all the help he can get to keep up with his eight years apart younger wife

I'm having trouble getting my old soldier in the gym. Having trouble getting myself there too. Best laid plans of mice and men always seem to fail when life interferes.

In my life, a Navy pilot was the guy that got you into the harbor. The guy that flew the planes was an aviator. Indeed. As an interesting aside, I was under the impression that one would "pilot" a submarine. But I was editing a book where this came up in part of the dialogue between characters, so I went looking just to be sure. Found out from some submariners that you don't pilot a sub, apparently. You drive it. Which I think is weird. |

I guessed he meant aviator due to the aerospace background. |

I wish. That'd be so much better. Sadly, there's not a store near us. |

So hey...I will ask here in Sa/oU...
How does one utilize Blockbuster's on-demand movie service thingy? Kitties is not techy. 
ETA: The deal is we have some leftover blockbuster gift cards. They may be worthless...or they may be of value to someone who could use this on-demand movie thingy. I have no clue. The only on-demand thing I'm experienced with is what drink you want me to make.
