In my few months rotation in a Boston hospital there were a lot of Filipino nurses. Similar facial appearance and height.

My doctor, from about 2000 to 2012, was a Philapina lady. She was about 4’8″. When she came in the examining room and I was sitting down we were about face to face. When I stood to be respectful and shake her hand, the top of her head was about the level of my nipples and it made me feel like I was being disrespectful to her by not being face to face. It was a weird conundrum. I loved her little sing-song style of speaking. Made me think about doing sexy time with her.
I bought a giant pack of Bicycle playing cards that should arrive today. Going to segregate the face cards for one of them so I can play War with Possum while sneakily teaching her arithmetic.

I’m heading out to try to get some ammo and wash the car. Doing the range thing ALL weekend. Son turned 21 this week. I got him the Springfield Armory XD M 9mm compact Tactical pak. Pelican style case, 4 mags, two mag extensions, changeable grip swells, laser light combo, pistol holster and mag carrier.
Gonna put him through the paces with it and work on some two man fire and maneuver with the ARs.
Upped a couple of meds on MIL. She slept 12 hours, got herself up, and when the morning help (one of the ones she has unloaded much vitriol on) arrived, greeted her in a very nice manner.
IF she can stay this way, she can stay…or by staying this way, we won’t get turned down at memory care places.
I was watching the local news, some high school Karen took a picture of what her school looked like during class changes…..which looked like what normal schools look like during class changes, organized chaos with masks….and she has been complaining on social media and – the news – that noone is social distancing.
This is out in a nearby district since we are not totally insane on this side of the river. We opened our schools with online options, which this Karen should have taken advantage of. Idiot child.
I tried to speed up to see what idiot would have that on their car but I was unable to get side by side.
hah, I always do that too
then I remember that I have a sticker that says “I hope something good happens to you today” with a tie dye license plate rounder that says “What a long strange trip it’s been”

Back from the toy store. Picked up 100 rnds of 40 and 25 rnds of 9mm super deluxe +P defensive rnds. 180 grains of fuck you up in a small package. Mailed my completed application to the state along with the 75 dollar fee, now I’m at the mercy of the bureaucrats. Let’s see how long this will take. Minimum I suspect is 6 weeks but I’m prepared for double that realistically.
Hey T Roy, is your range like your range or public / private outdoor shooting area?
I went to the fancy gun range at lunch and launched 100 rounds getting ready for my CCW class on Sunday. Turns out I’m not very good at it, mostly low and left. Imma aim for the opposite shoulder and hope for the best.

anyone have any ideas on how to tell my tiny, tiny, tiny freshman son that perhaps football isn’t his cup of tea? He’s in the 7th percentile in height for his age…and doesn’t weigh much either. His coaches always say, “The kids got heart though”
aaaaaaaaaaaaand I’m on hold with Kaiser with what is probably his 5th? broken bone from football
he needs to..golf
he will hear none of it. Football is his passion and he doesn’t care how many bones he breaks, thing is, it’s not like anything extreme is happening, the boy is just what’s that Italian word? Fragile?
He’s not fast…at all
We are definitely keeping wresting and gymnastics as an option.
Just trying to get through this season w/out him being in a wheelchair.
The baby before him and after him died…so I tell him, he’s actually strong
My brother had a tumor removed from his tibia, when he was 10. Spent a year in a cast. Metal plate in his leg. Broke 3 casts playing soccer, football, and basketball, in his cast. We moved to TX. He was short. Fragile. Wanted to play football. It was TX. My mom “Knew” that any Dr with the ability to read xrays, would’ve put the kibosh on his FB Dreams. School sent him to the “Football Dr”. He approved. My brother played FB for 2 years. Finally, had to choose between baseball and football. Seasons overlapped.
My brother nearly lost his leg as a 10 year old. Traumatized my mom. My brother, not so much. Wrestling would be a great option. Boxing, as well. The heart wants what the heart wants. (Punches myself in the face for that trite 💩)

My heart wanted to wrestle the girls on the soccer team, but that wasn’t in the cards.
Okay, maybe it wasn’t my heart, but there was an earnest desire.

Its my personal range. Not open to public. I can go out to about 120yrds and have enough space to setup barricades and vehicle ops.
Low left (if you are right hand dominant) is normally a grip or trigger control issue.
1. Don’t over grip with your trigger hand. You want your trigger finger independent from the rest. The three fingers on the grip are pulling back and up using about 80% of your grip strength. Your support hand can (generally speaking) grip as strong as you want.
2. Stay with your front sight all the way through your trigger press. Don’t look for your hits until after you’ve shot and re- aquired your front site. In your mind you should be ..front sight, front sight, press, frontsight, Bang, front sight, look at target.
3. Adjust the amount of finger on the trigger. Lots of folks use too much or too little
Stance, grip, trigger control, follow through. When you go to qual dont let any time factor stress you. Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast. Breathe and don’t worry about anyone else’s pace. There will be people rushing their shots, there is a inclination to keep the rhythm, you do you.
Holler if you have any questions I’ll do my best to get you a answer
What bone did he break? How about the previous ones?
I’ve had a few kids over the years who have broken many bones during sports. Most of them were minor ones that just needed a cast. After the ones that need surgery a lot of the kids self direct to other sports. I had a hockey playing girl who played on the boy’s team and she broke her wrist 4 or 5 times with the last one needing pins. She played on scholarship at UMO so she beat the odds. (Not to discount it but women’s college isn’t exactly busting at the seams with participants and she was smart in school as well as life to use that to her advantage for 4 free years of college).

My heart wanted to wrestle the girls on the soccer team, but that wasn’t in the cards.
In grad school I’d time my workouts in the school gym so that I’d finish a little after the girls’ soccer team came in to do their workout. Always gave a bit of extra motivation for my deadlifts.
My brother’s work study job, was locking and unlocking the gym. He would play basketball with the chick basketball team. Pick up games. He still holds baseball records at NMHU. Outfield incident in a hardball league in LV, led to him becoming a partner in a law firm. Two years after graduation.

Pups, I’m curious, what type of ccw class are you taking? NRA? USCCA? I have NRA LE creds & USCCA and I prefer the USCCA program as the organnization focuses on defensive shooting whereas NRA tries to cover all aspects of shooting. Also, have you looked into carry insurance?
Heading out to the farm now to feed the horses. Kids went camping. Why they would go camping on the busiest camping day of the year is beyond me…then again my idea of camping is packing a ruck and walking in the woods for awhile before setting up camp, not hanging outside a RV in a RV park.

Speaking of packing, the Project That Must Not Be Named is crated up for shipping. There’s still more to do before it actually goes out the door next week, but none of it is on me.
This class teaches you all the required information on the laws governing NC Use Of Deadly Force, concealed carry statute, where you can and cannot carry a handgun & other relevant issues. This class covers the fundamentals of gun operation, personal protection with the use of a handgun, gun safety, ammunition, and shooting techniques.
You will learn additional information about your 2nd Amendment rights and how to protect them. This class also provides a written exam and the shooting qualification exam given at our PRIVATE firing range for shooting distances 3 yards, 5 yards, & 7 yards. We also teach an added curriculum of what to do after a shooting.
All day from 9 to 6:30, $50. Class size looks to be 10-12 from posted pictures.
Still not 100% real. I’ve done a few dance-twirls through the empty room. There’s still some stuff to transfer. We went to see her new place, it’s nice.
I’m looking to buy a bolt action rifle to learn longer range accuracy.
I was thinking Remington 700. Not sure on the caliber. 308 would be nice or perhaps .223. I dunno.
Thoughts? And perhaps a 3×9 sight?
I also think I’m going to buy a red dot for my Kriss. The iron sights are really great but those dot things are unfuckable. And they come in GREEN now. Whoa. Mind blown.
Comment by TeeRoy Jenkins on September 4, 2020 8:57 pm
MJ, definetly put a dot optic on the Kriss. A simple 1x is perfect for 9 or 45. I run Romeo 5s on my AR pistols. I’m building a 18 inch bull barrel for longer distances. Regarding the 700 if im not mistaken it was the go to platform for a long time for .mil. i couldve sworn there was some controversy regarding a mechanical failure a few years back. I would check that before purchasing but as far as I know its still a good platform. Long Range precision is not within my skill sets yet. I can hit out to 600 pretty consistently but after that not so much. I like the 308 but I would also consider some of the “newer” calibers like 6.5 family etc.
Pups thats alot of info to be delivering in a short time. Illinois mandates a 16hr class and its challenging to get it all out there in that time frame. With that said, the price is right. I would imagine they offer a intermediate class that covers the subject matter more deeply. If you decide to go with USCCA let me know, I get a kickback for referrals.
That access road is supposed to be ripped out and graded in #twoweeks, so I better hurry. OTOH, I think that’s got as much chance of happening as St Jude’s wife does of engaging in some enthusiastic black-and-white thinking

Never mind. That access road is never getting graded.
MJ,
I had one of these in 300 WIN mag. The 300 wby mag hits a little harder and has a spec more range but eats barrels quicker. I zeroed it at 100 and shot a few at 300 and that was all I ever fired through it. It was very accurate, perhaps not 1000 yds accurate but I would not know. I was on a 1000 yd range and I wish I had tried a longer shot.

There were elk all over the place this morning. Bugling woke us up at about 0300. We were up ’til 0400 watching and listening to the ruckus.
They were standing on their hind legs and grabbing the limbs on the neighbors pear tree to shake fruit down. Bulls were sparring and antler clacking was everywhere. There was a really handsome 6×6 bull wandering around, bugling and looking for a fight.
It was wondrous…
MJ, it mostly depends on what you consider long range. Most quality hunting rifles can reach out to 1000 yards with the right caliber and scope. 308 has been doing the trick for years. 6.5 Creedmoor is the current popular long range round. You can still find it on the shelf just about everywhere, and it’s got good ballistics out to ~1200 yards. Further with careful loading. 223 is a little light for long range. Low ballistic coefficients lead to rapid deceleration of the bullet.
A 3-9×40 scope with good glass should be easily good out to 500-600 yards. Beyond that, you may want to consider more magnification, which usually means bigger glass (4.5-24×50 etc).
Rule of thumb I’ve read in a couple places is spend at least as much on the scope as you do the rifle. Preferably more. You can always move an awesome scope to an upgraded rifle.
I’ve long had plans to go out beyond 1000. I bought one of these in 338 Lapua and put a Nightforce scope on it, but feeding the thing is expensive and it’s difficult to find anywhere to really stretch it out without lots of land or connections.
Definitely Phuket-able

That was a good idea.
He expanded our presence in Afghanistan, which made it worse, while removing our influence in Iraq, which made things worse. Way to go, Barry.

JUST SPIT YOU TOOL.
I’ll go pound my thumbs with a hammer now.
Interesting hobby
It is a good thing you’re married and don’t have to do online dating.
Hobbies are commenting at the Hostages, pounding my thumbs with a hammer, and many other exciting past times. Won’t you join me for a great Friday night?
Spitting is to hawking a loogie as doodling in the margins is to painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel
Grocery store had Ezekiel bread tortillas. I’ll let y’all know how they are after they thaw.
I’m curious. I love their bread
They are, sadly, taco-sized rather than burrito.
Are they flax or?
Sprouted einkorn wheat, bunch of sprouted beans (soybeans included, unfortunately, but at least they are sprouted), spelt, millet, lentils.
I smelled the douchebaggery just reading those ingredients.
That sounds good. Too bad they’re small. We get the bread every now and then

Back from the toy store. Picked up 100 rnds of 40 and 25 rnds of 9mm super deluxe +P defensive rnds. 180 grains of fuck you up in a small package. Mailed my completed application to the state along with the 75 dollar fee, now I’m at the mercy of the bureaucrats. Let’s see how long this will take. Minimum I suspect is 6 weeks but I’m prepared for double that realistically.
I may be going deer hunting with my ex-FIL this season.
Not sure how weird that is, but I miss the guy and he’s aces at it.
It’s a little weird and unusual, see if there is a softer way to say “bros before hoes”.
Friends before dead ends
Camaraderie before sodomy
Pupster has all the good catch phrases. I’d totally buy a tshirt

Hey T Roy, is your range like your range or public / private outdoor shooting area?
I went to the fancy gun range at lunch and launched 100 rounds getting ready for my CCW class on Sunday. Turns out I’m not very good at it, mostly low and left. Imma aim for the opposite shoulder and hope for the best.
Plus she got a tattoo on her boob. Ew.

As long as he’s got a gun. I mean, if you must, at least leave the man armed as he’s supposed to be.
Hah, that’s right. What did the put in his hands instead?

Ok. I might just be at the hair salon
Been here for almost 4 hours. They start to color and once they’re into it, they realize I have a lot more hair than they realized.

Ex-FIL just left, we had a good chat and I gave him a tour of the land.
soooooo
anyone have any ideas on how to tell my tiny, tiny, tiny freshman son that perhaps football isn’t his cup of tea? He’s in the 7th percentile in height for his age…and doesn’t weigh much either. His coaches always say, “The kids got heart though”
aaaaaaaaaaaaand I’m on hold with Kaiser with what is probably his 5th? broken bone from football
he needs to..golf
he will hear none of it. Football is his passion and he doesn’t care how many bones he breaks, thing is, it’s not like anything extreme is happening, the boy is just what’s that Italian word? Fragile?
he’s going to have to come around to it on his own. Unless you can steer him towards something that piques his interest, and make it his idea.
Did I get pique right?
How’s his 100 yard dash? Unless he’s remarkably fast for a short guy, he’s got no bidness in football.
As a stubby fellow myself, I’d suggest wrestling or gymnastics. Maybe show him some BarStarz videos.
He’s not fast…at all
We are definitely keeping wresting and gymnastics as an option.
Just trying to get through this season w/out him being in a wheelchair.
The baby before him and after him died…so I tell him, he’s actually strong
My brother had a tumor removed from his tibia, when he was 10. Spent a year in a cast. Metal plate in his leg. Broke 3 casts playing soccer, football, and basketball, in his cast. We moved to TX. He was short. Fragile. Wanted to play football. It was TX. My mom “Knew” that any Dr with the ability to read xrays, would’ve put the kibosh on his FB Dreams. School sent him to the “Football Dr”. He approved. My brother played FB for 2 years. Finally, had to choose between baseball and football. Seasons overlapped.
My brother nearly lost his leg as a 10 year old. Traumatized my mom. My brother, not so much. Wrestling would be a great option. Boxing, as well. The heart wants what the heart wants. (Punches myself in the face for that trite 💩)
Competitive rochambeau.
Wrestling would be good.
Pulled a muscle in my lower back at the gym just now. I have to finish packing this weekend and decide what my plan is for next week. Either pack a u-haul, or throw everything into storage and drive back west to see family for a few weeks. The next few days are gonna suck…
My heart wanted to wrestle the girls on the soccer team, but that wasn’t in the cards.
Okay, maybe it wasn’t my heart, but there was an earnest desire.
Its my personal range. Not open to public. I can go out to about 120yrds and have enough space to setup barricades and vehicle ops.
Low left (if you are right hand dominant) is normally a grip or trigger control issue.
1. Don’t over grip with your trigger hand. You want your trigger finger independent from the rest. The three fingers on the grip are pulling back and up using about 80% of your grip strength. Your support hand can (generally speaking) grip as strong as you want.
2. Stay with your front sight all the way through your trigger press. Don’t look for your hits until after you’ve shot and re- aquired your front site. In your mind you should be ..front sight, front sight, press, frontsight, Bang, front sight, look at target.
3. Adjust the amount of finger on the trigger. Lots of folks use too much or too little
Stance, grip, trigger control, follow through. When you go to qual dont let any time factor stress you. Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast. Breathe and don’t worry about anyone else’s pace. There will be people rushing their shots, there is a inclination to keep the rhythm, you do you.
Holler if you have any questions I’ll do my best to get you a answer
What bone did he break? How about the previous ones?
I’ve had a few kids over the years who have broken many bones during sports. Most of them were minor ones that just needed a cast. After the ones that need surgery a lot of the kids self direct to other sports. I had a hockey playing girl who played on the boy’s team and she broke her wrist 4 or 5 times with the last one needing pins. She played on scholarship at UMO so she beat the odds. (Not to discount it but women’s college isn’t exactly busting at the seams with participants and she was smart in school as well as life to use that to her advantage for 4 free years of college).
My heart wanted to wrestle the girls on the soccer team, but that wasn’t in the cards.
In grad school I’d time my workouts in the school gym so that I’d finish a little after the girls’ soccer team came in to do their workout. Always gave a bit of extra motivation for my deadlifts.

CoAl, not volleyball?
*that’s the cue for Hotspur to let his know he was kicked out of Cub Scouts for eating a Brownie*
Volleyball girls are too tall.
My brother’s work study job, was locking and unlocking the gym. He would play basketball with the chick basketball team. Pick up games. He still holds baseball records at NMHU. Outfield incident in a hardball league in LV, led to him becoming a partner in a law firm. Two years after graduation.
CoAlex, have you considered getting a POD to do your packing? Can they do those for long haul moves?
PODs are expensive. A Uhaul between Columbus and Reston is about $300-$400, whereas the PODS are around $1000.
I can’t tell if that guy is a god-hating communist or the world’s worst apologist.
Libertarian.
He’s not doing any movement any favors.
Can we get him to become a vegan climate activist?
Pups, I’m curious, what type of ccw class are you taking? NRA? USCCA? I have NRA LE creds & USCCA and I prefer the USCCA program as the organnization focuses on defensive shooting whereas NRA tries to cover all aspects of shooting. Also, have you looked into carry insurance?
Heading out to the farm now to feed the horses. Kids went camping. Why they would go camping on the busiest camping day of the year is beyond me…then again my idea of camping is packing a ruck and walking in the woods for awhile before setting up camp, not hanging outside a RV in a RV park.
Speaking of packing, the Project That Must Not Be Named is crated up for shipping. There’s still more to do before it actually goes out the door next week, but none of it is on me.

That was great. Everyone loved that.
I’m not sure T Roy, here is the description:
NC Concealed Carry Handgun Class
NRA, NCDOJ, & USCCA Certified Experienced Female Instructor.
This class teaches you all the required information on the laws governing NC Use Of Deadly Force, concealed carry statute, where you can and cannot carry a handgun & other relevant issues. This class covers the fundamentals of gun operation, personal protection with the use of a handgun, gun safety, ammunition, and shooting techniques.
You will learn additional information about your 2nd Amendment rights and how to protect them. This class also provides a written exam and the shooting qualification exam given at our PRIVATE firing range for shooting distances 3 yards, 5 yards, & 7 yards. We also teach an added curriculum of what to do after a shooting.
All day from 9 to 6:30, $50. Class size looks to be 10-12 from posted pictures.
Obama weaponized the bureaucracy.
Great move. Not petty at all.
Still not 100% real. I’ve done a few dance-twirls through the empty room. There’s still some stuff to transfer. We went to see her new place, it’s nice.
Hey TeeRoy.
I’m looking to buy a bolt action rifle to learn longer range accuracy.
I was thinking Remington 700. Not sure on the caliber. 308 would be nice or perhaps .223. I dunno.
Thoughts? And perhaps a 3×9 sight?
I also think I’m going to buy a red dot for my Kriss. The iron sights are really great but those dot things are unfuckable. And they come in GREEN now. Whoa. Mind blown.
I’m super happy for you guys. Underpants all day!

To be honest, that’s something I don’t get particularly upset about. If you’re an American overseas supporting an enemy group, you’re fair game.
American citizens droned by Obama were NMSU student and his son. Grandpa. Aggies pffft
https://is.gd/1IMRXz
MJ, definetly put a dot optic on the Kriss. A simple 1x is perfect for 9 or 45. I run Romeo 5s on my AR pistols. I’m building a 18 inch bull barrel for longer distances. Regarding the 700 if im not mistaken it was the go to platform for a long time for .mil. i couldve sworn there was some controversy regarding a mechanical failure a few years back. I would check that before purchasing but as far as I know its still a good platform. Long Range precision is not within my skill sets yet. I can hit out to 600 pretty consistently but after that not so much. I like the 308 but I would also consider some of the “newer” calibers like 6.5 family etc.
Pups thats alot of info to be delivering in a short time. Illinois mandates a 16hr class and its challenging to get it all out there in that time frame. With that said, the price is right. I would imagine they offer a intermediate class that covers the subject matter more deeply. If you decide to go with USCCA let me know, I get a kickback for referrals.
That access road is supposed to be ripped out and graded in #twoweeks, so I better hurry. OTOH, I think that’s got as much chance of happening as St Jude’s wife does of engaging in some enthusiastic black-and-white thinking

Well, might not be out as far as you think. For my birthday she said she might…. Well shit, just had one of those…
Well next year on my birthday… Well shit, I’ll be out of the area doing Uncle Sam’s bidding.
Okay, but my birthday in about two years, and there is gonna be some black and white…. Shit, you said enthusiastic.
Never mind. That access road is never getting graded.
You have my deepest sympathies, Jude. It’s no consolation, but I’m sleeping alone tonight like usual.
I’ll let you know if they dig up the road, but I’m without hope in every sense, including that one.
Hope springs eternal.

MJ,
I had one of these in 300 WIN mag. The 300 wby mag hits a little harder and has a spec more range but eats barrels quicker. I zeroed it at 100 and shot a few at 300 and that was all I ever fired through it. It was very accurate, perhaps not 1000 yds accurate but I would not know. I was on a 1000 yd range and I wish I had tried a longer shot.

I expect butt prints over every part of your house by tomorrow morning
I saw Glory in the theater when it came out, long time ago. I was a young adult. It was a bummer, is what I took away.
my house is old, the butt prints were already here
There were elk all over the place this morning. Bugling woke us up at about 0300. We were up ’til 0400 watching and listening to the ruckus.
They were standing on their hind legs and grabbing the limbs on the neighbors pear tree to shake fruit down. Bulls were sparring and antler clacking was everywhere. There was a really handsome 6×6 bull wandering around, bugling and looking for a fight.
It was wondrous…
That does sound lovely Crispy…not the 3 o’clock in the morning part, but the rest

Competitive rochambeau killed me
MJ, it mostly depends on what you consider long range. Most quality hunting rifles can reach out to 1000 yards with the right caliber and scope. 308 has been doing the trick for years. 6.5 Creedmoor is the current popular long range round. You can still find it on the shelf just about everywhere, and it’s got good ballistics out to ~1200 yards. Further with careful loading. 223 is a little light for long range. Low ballistic coefficients lead to rapid deceleration of the bullet.
A 3-9×40 scope with good glass should be easily good out to 500-600 yards. Beyond that, you may want to consider more magnification, which usually means bigger glass (4.5-24×50 etc).
Rule of thumb I’ve read in a couple places is spend at least as much on the scope as you do the rifle. Preferably more. You can always move an awesome scope to an upgraded rifle.
I’ve long had plans to go out beyond 1000. I bought one of these in 338 Lapua and put a Nightforce scope on it, but feeding the thing is expensive and it’s difficult to find anywhere to really stretch it out without lots of land or connections.
