Positive Word Time Accompanied by Pellet Rifles

I like positive word play. People showering each other with witty, kind sayings. Like 'Have Fun', 'Go Gettim', 'Super'.

Encouragement is going down the hole. People are way too negative and pessimistic. I enjoy a person with a positive mental outlook. A go getter mentality. A rock'em, sock'em attitude. We are surrounded by people who are 'closet-happy' and 'blatant-downers'. Always looking at the negative side of things.

On that note I'm sure that by varying ammunition and number of pumps, all of life's problems could be solved with a pump-action air rifle.

1. Stray Animals - .177 Hollow-Point Pellets and about 20-25 pumps
2. Speeders down your street - Standard Steel Ball BB's and about 10-15 pumps @ about 20 or 30 feet.
3. Children - Standard Steel Ball BB's and about 2-5 pumps
4. Aluminum Cans - Shooters Choice on ammo and pumps. **hint** you are going to need less pumps the closer you are to your target.
5. Neighbor Animals - Depending on the size and animal. i.e. Big Dog/Mean Dog: .177 darts can be fun with about 20 pumps. They also come in a variety of colors.

If you are going to go all out and spend a good bit on a rifle, usually they only need one pump for about 1,000 feet per second on a .177 pellet. Also if you are going to invest in a scope, make sure you zero it before using. Nothing is worse that drawing a bead on your target and missing because your scope wasn't properly zeroed.

If you are going to snipe a neighbor, under the cover of darkness or gillie suit, don't aim for the face, eyes, neck, or groin. If you really hate the person then disregard the last 26 words.

Don't drink and shoot. Buzzed shooting is drunk shooting....

Good Day Blogerica...or Amerilog...

It's a fine day to be alive. A fine, fine day. I think I'm going to head out of work early today and hit the gym. I've been going to the gym with fantastic regularity and have put on about 4 pounds of muscle in about 3 weeks. So...yeah getting bulky.

My Mandy is enjoying it as am I enjoying, her enjoying it. Words. Words are fun.

I'm at a loss at the moment. I'm trying to make sense of working again. Working a 7:30-4:30. I'm now a drilling reservist in my beloved yet beleaguered Corps. It's a strange time we live in. With the BIG war still going on. I mean, it's going on only so far as we are still sending people over to it. It's not still "Raging", or "raging" in the sense of the Battle of Iwo Jima or Fallujah '04. Raging in more of an occupying force sort of way.
It's funny to hear junior troops talking about 'getting in on the action'. It's funny because the majority of the battles are against getting blown up. You can't really respond to getting blown up with automatic weapon fire. No amount of 'Talking Guns' is going to save you from a car door slicing you in half. So, the rage is mental. The rage is boredom. The rage is feeling like you've missed the party, the keg is spitting foam, and it's nothing but tipsy fat girls hanging out. Seriously I know. I've talked to the guys just getting back. Unfortunately I didn't get to Iraq. I was way too busy evacuating American Citizens from Beirut Lebanon. Sorry for missing the party.

But it's a funny place being surrounded by Marines, who've never gone anywhere. To hear them talk about a 'warrior-mindset' is hilarious. "Keep your mind sharpened like a well maintained razor-blade..." "The scalpel that is your mind should never dull..." Blah. Blah. Blah.

Have fun.

Alcohol Update

I'm now an official North Carolina Beer Delegate.
http://www.united-nations-of-beer.com/north-carolina-beer-guide.html

Another Update. Welcome.

Harp Lager.

I purchased a sixer the other day and really enjoyed it. It is brewed in Ireland and the first bottle rolled out of the Great Northern Brewery in Dunalk, Ireland in June 1960.

Harp Lager is distributed by the good folks at Guinness, all over the world.

Harp's refreshing taste earned it six gold medals in the famous annual Monde Selection beer tasting competition, making it Northern Ireland's favorite lager. Harp was created by Dr. Herman Muender in 1960 to bring integrity back to the Irish lager industry.

This is a full bodied beer with rich flavors and a slightly bitter aftertaste. A pleasing drink.

That's about all I'm going to throw down about Harp.


Happy Drinking,

Alcohol Update

I'm starting the Alcohol Update. Welcome.

First order of business is Mississippi Mud, a delicious black and tan beverage from the Matt Brewery in Utica New York.

Here's the commercial description:

"Dating back to 18th century England, the custom of blending pale and dark beers has kept the "Black & Tan" a favorite of experienced beer drinkers for centuries. Our famous recipe combines a robust English Porter with a fine Continental Pilsner, preserving the character of each, while creating the classic taste of the legendary "Black & Tan." In true American style, we bring you the best of both beers as they meet in Mississippi Mud."

It's sold in a great moonshine looking jug with a screw-off top and a vintage looking label.

First visual impression when pouring it is, "This looks just like it should, really dark with a fantastic creamy head."

First tasting impression is, "Rich, Robust, Full, and surprisingly creamy with an uncharacteristically un-bitter aftertaste."

It is a pleasing brew that can be indulged in plentifully with little or no stereotypical repercussions. I drank a quart jug in one sitting and was barely, but coherently buzzed. By one sitting I mean over the course of about 2 hours. So My recommendation is that you all sample this delicious dark brew...

For those of you who may desire more information about this fantastic beverage I encourage you to follow this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_Tan

I'm BACK...And better than ever...

So I'm here, finally with internet access that can support my blog and so I'm blessing you with this offering.

I'm doing my drill time at fantastical Camp Lejeune, NC and thus explaining why I have a good internet connection.

Nothing much is happening in my life right now...still waiting to complete my drills, make some cash and move down to Charlotte. Finish school. Make some cheddar and go back to school.

More to come...yet again...
