12. Waiting for Cookies

I did some checking on the ballistics and my sight picture and I was aiming a little high. Subsonic .22LR rounds are supposed to be more accurate since there is no transonic deceleration shock wave to cause them to tumble, and the ammo I'm using is pretty good, but not the best; they're Remi...

Wow, three updates in thirty-six hours! I'm just rockin' this week! OK, I remembered: K's father was fired last week. Not "laid off" but fired. They got him and his roommate on the same day: him for horseplay (which is extremely vague, but he's been written up so many times he's got his...

The best kind, of course. Had K today as expected. I also had to go get her, which was expected as well. I love her, but Critter is not the most punctual person in the world. She was already twenty minutes late as it was, and if she'd had to bring K over it would…

Had the normal confusion at work about what time it was. I had people showing up an hour late for work wanting to know what to do. I told them to clock in. And invariably they all asked "will this count against me?" I told them yes, it would. For those that do not have an atte...

Dinner was good. I had Hamburger Helper, but I had to have the cheeseburger macaroni instead of the beef fried rice I was so eager to try. The fried rice one requires eggs, and I don't have any. Ooops. Saw the Discovery Channel special on the earthquake in Haiti, "Haiti's Earthquake: Why It ...

You're going to love this: I just found out that Mego put in for unemployment benefits. He got them on a provisional basis since he lied on the application. Of course we appealed the ruling, and he kept pushing the date for the hearing. So they finally have the hearing, and he loses. Dimwit. I&nb...

After carefully reading the hunting regulations for the great state of Georgia, I discovered that opossums are considered "small game" and not "vermin" so there is a hunting season for them which ends in eight days. Go figure. I guess I'll have to get the thing prett...

Yep, bought me a gun. It's a sweet little .22LR/.410 combo rifle with interchangeable barrels. I bought a box of subsonic .22 and a box of .410 at the same time. I have practiced changing the barrel, read the owner's manual, practiced de-cocking, engaged and disengaged the various safeties, and a...

I'm iced in at the house and it's snowing again. Work is not happy right now, but they will survive and get over themselves. I did make an effort, you know. I got up at 0600 when the alarm went off and walked down to the bottom of the driveway. The highway was fine, but the…

I've been cooped up here all day. It's different when it's by choice, but not being able to go anywhere if I wanted to drove me nuts. The bottom part of the driveway was cleared and salted, but I don't think we'd have had a problem tomorrow anyway. It's been very weird up here today, we...
