Fur storage
Today I went to look at the AC at a fur storage place we've worked at a few times. They called yesterday and the guy didn't say anything about an emergency, so Mom told them we could come today if that's soon enough. Today they call back and say that the AC in the fur storage place has been out a week. Really? You're just going to wait a week ( Read more... ) -
Clean clean clean Loud loud loud
The first time with our AR15 was a disappointment. The manual recommends cleaning it before you shoot it and after every round for the first 25 rounds. That's a lot of cleaning. After 2 1/2 or 3 hours, we wound up firing only 10 rounds. Dad's going to be taking it out to zero the scope and whatnot, but I won't get to join him cuz I'm hanging ( Read more... ) -
It's a Christmas Miracle!
We have a stove again! And a table that seats more than one person! Now I can buy hamburger meat without cooking it at someone else's house. In other news, parents still refuse to get along; water still wet. -
Yay!
Somebody sent me a Christmas card! It put a smile on my face. Thanks, cabbagemedley! Sadly, I'm lousy at doing things like sending packages on time. >.>
Looks like it's going to be another Garrett family Christmas full of arguments, a house full of junk, and no tree. -
Bah
No target practice today. Mom spent fucking four hours fondling every single item at a yard sale and then she and Dad had to go pick up some furniture Mom bought back during the summer that we [b]still[/b] don't have room for. And my head hurts and I still have a cold. -
(Untitled)
Dad took delivery of the AR-15 today. Initially, they brought out the wrong gun and he nearly had a heart attack. I believe that it's this one, but it has a vented foregrip instead of solid. It'll be awhile before we can use it in a 100 yard shooting competition because we'll have to special-order metal front sights ( Read more... ) -
Swag!
I was thinking of getting a cover-all last time we were at Walmart for times when I have to go up under houses, but that particular store doesn't carry them. So today on their return trip to the gun show, Mom got me an Army surplus jumpsuit/coverall thing! It's pretty awesome. It has tons of pockets and nifty velcro bits so you can get to your ( Read more... ) -
The Gun Show!
We had a few hours to kill today, so we stopped by the gun show. The only thing we really need is some sights for Dad's new AR-15. More specifically, that's all we can afford. It doesn't come with any because it's match grade, so you probably want to mount a scope on it, which is ultimately what Dad plans to do, but for some reason he was dead- ( Read more... ) -
Strange things seen in public
One time some months ago, me and mom stopped to eat at Hardee's (we eat there a lot because mom is picky). Anyway, a family is there having a birthday party for one of their children and they were serving the birthday cake. Overhearing their conversation started to put emphasis on 'the': the youngest child complained that the cake is starting to ( Read more... )
