End of an era as Winchester rifle plant prepares to close

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

Winchester is closing their last US factory which manufactures the model 70′s and 94′s. Now that they’re starting to get it right…. I love my little 94 trapper and intend to add a .30-30 and/or .32 Special to the collection along with an 1886 in .45-70. I wonder if this will also be the end [...]

Judicial Lunacy

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Stick a finger in Wendy’s Chili as a scam and get 9/12 years in prison but if you are a teach who has homosexual sex with a student get a suspended sentence. I guess the several cases of women sleeping with male students who are serving prison sentences made the mistake of being hetrosexual.

Lugar prepares run for sixth term

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

I am very sad to see Lugar run for his sixth term unopposed, though there is still time for a conservative challenger I doubt it will happen. But for my money I don’t want a republican that I cannot tell from the democrat for if that is the case if I would happen to vote [...]

Speaking of stupid Felonies

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

Someone has shot a cat and a racoonwith a crossbow and its a potential felony in California. Now I truely dislike shooting cats. Racoons and possums are quite a different matter entirely especially here in the midwest where 1/2 a state over racoons means potential of rabis. And with racoons if you can’t run them [...]

Battered woman carrying firearm convicted

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

We’ll see if a battered woman carrying firearm because she was afraid her ex was going to kill her gets any cause celeb from the National Organization of Women. And I’m betting it doesn’t just like Bill Clinton’s abuse of women drew no comments from NOW because Bill was ‘one of their own’. California, where [...]

It’s For Your Own Good!

Sunday, January 15th, 2006

I am a coffee junkie, I’ll make a pot of coffee in the morning and nurse it unil its gone. Sometimes that takes a couple of hours or all day depending. If I’m out in the workshop instead of at my desk tend to recycle my cold half cups through the pot on the warmer [...]

UN Small Arms Conference 2006

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

If you weren’t afraid for your freedoms yet spend some time reading the UN Small Arms 2006 conference documents and you quickly will be. One of the more interesting documents is one submitted by our neighbor to the south: Illegal civilian possession of small arms usually starts with weapons that were brought and produced in [...]

The Best Little Help Desk in Punjab

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

It looks like there will be a User Friendly style of sitcom coming soon. To India. Naturally it won’t be as funny.

The New Antenna is Up!

Sunday, January 8th, 2006

It only took a week to get a day I could actually do it but the new television antenna is finally mounted on the rotor mast. The antenna is our Christmas present from my Father. And it is huge as the photo shows… Note that little bitty thing behind the big one? That’s the old [...]

Site Upgrade

Sunday, January 8th, 2006

The site has now been upgraded to WordPress 2.0. Sadly my favorite plugin doesn’t yet work with the 2.0 version. Fortunately the 1.5 themes work with 2.0 though I noticed a dozen or so other themes I want to checkout so maybe I’ll finally dump the Kubrick theme for something more interesting. Or maybe not…..
