Rain

So, today while I was in a meeting, I was looking outside the window while it was raining and thought that this would be a perfect time to put up a tarp to catch rain water so that we would have something to drink.

I think I thought of this because I remembered a trip to alaska where we did this.

Odd

Well, it seems that it has been almost 1 year to the day that I have posted on this blog. I am probably the worst blogger in the world, other then the people that don't have blogs. But for them it is kinda hard to be the worst blogger if you don't blog.

April 1st

Well, today is April 1st. I have been on day shift for my 3rd week so far. Things are going better now that I am actually sleeping during the night. I seem to not be so lethargic during the day, and actually this weekend (Tuesday) I signed up for a class on basic backpacking through REI.

It is odd, I had always ment to take these free classes, but I always found some reason not to do it. But now that I am actually sleeping normal, I find that I can just get up and go.

Also, for some odd reason my laptop's graphic card decided to go to grey, probably because of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Looking into building a gaming computer, that is once I get a loaner chip from my work (an i5 chip).

well, maybe I will post on here more, maybe not.

Well I am still here

So not a lot going on, been kinda boring, just working and not doing much.

Good news is that I am working on getting more out of work, should be applying to a day job soon, hopefully will get it.

Also, if I don't another in my area has also applied to the same job, and if he gets it, i will work with the engineers to get his job.

I think I fell in love

So as you know or maybe you don't, probably don't since I haven't posted much lately.

I have been looking at the AR-15 (M-16 civilian model) for a while, been thinking of getting one, but I just found something knew.

FN Scar 17S

its a assualt style rifle made for the civilian, it shoots a .308 Win (similiar to the 7.62mm x 51 nato round), which from what I can tell is designed to go for about 150lb+ plus animals

Granted it is a assualt rifle, I like the look, don't really know if it would be a good hunting rifle, but I have been reading that the AR-15 has been used to hunt with, (recently manufactores have made some hunting variants), so with that in mind I look at this, like the design, and think it would be fun to own.

Downside, is from what I have found on the internet is that the rifle starts at $2600, so that is a nice chunk of change for a rifle, even one that looks like this.

but then again, this would be a decent rifle to hunt zombies with (I bet they is waiting for me to get ready before they show up, I wonder if I pospone my readyness if they will ever show up?)

Oh well...always nice to dream
