Even with a nap yesterday mid-day, then sleep several times last night, I not only didn't wake up at 8:00-9:00 as set, I was not able to climb out of bed until 16:00. I have no idea what that was about. And yes, I kept setting and resetting my alarms. I just could not wake up! Even opening the door so that the girls could try their hand at it at 11:00, nothing could wake me. I do feel better today. My internals don't feel like they are in a harsh fight recovery. Then again, I don't feel all that awake, even now. I'll just keep plugging away.
I will probably try to get into town later tonight. I need some things. I have been doing an excellent job of keeping on top of supplies. I think this is the first time in a very long time that I have actually run out of even milk, and that is all I am out of. Some soda on hand, for days I don't want to make coffee, but soda is no longer a vital product. What I used to go through in a week can last two months or more. Hmm, and I need more Splenda, if I am not out of it. Coffee, too, could be bought, if I still have almost a pound. I definitely have meat and vegetables though. And, actually, I could use powdered milk or the canned milk I have on hand if I really needed to stretch more.
I keep seeing stories about people getting in trouble for buying rpg (rocket propelled grenade) systems, and other such. I keep advising, don't go with that kind of a risk. Not while, for the moment, .50 caliber rifles are still legal. I believe you could probably still buy the specialized scopes for them, with ir and heat visuals. Those packages are out of my price range, but I bet they would be cheaper to buy (and easier to test and train with) than an rpg and it's various ammo, plus being legal. Plus, a missed .50 round is a lot less destructive than a missed rpg round, much lower unintended casualty rates. Do you really want your neighbors to hate you for killing some of their family, destroying their house or business or livestock? You aren't muslims, you know. Our God makes us responsible, their god or gods or whatever allows them to be totally irresponsible. You own any bullet or weapon you use or fire. Just... saying. Trust me, you don't want a dead kid on your conscience, even when you do everything as correctly as possible. Even if you are atheist.
At least I am clean today. And, if I end up going out tonight I will shower again. I have loved that about getting to swimming so far. I'm almost always clean, save over the weekend sometimes. But even then, that is, when I am on things, only a two day period. I need to get back in the game somehow.
Later.
Ok, maybe you're not joking. Sho...whereinnahell you find .50 cal guns in stock? Not to mention the rounds to feed them?
ReplyDeleteShoot, I can't even find .22 LR for my varmint rifle, and I was lucky to score a few boxes of 00 for my riot gun. I go through a fair amount of .22 LR on my farm and I can't be running out of this stuff, lest the Skunk Brigades and the Heavy Armored Raccoon Cavalry overrun my position...
I did a quick check and found a .500 at an auction sight. It looks like .gov is even buying those, perhaps forcing the prices low or high with manipulations as well. However, oversees? Which, from what I am hearing, is where folks are going for weapons, I am thinking it would be much easier, if not as safe, to buy there. Then again, imagine who you would be working with when buying an rpg... anywhere.
ReplyDeleteYou may be right, .gov might be buying and forcing sales with arm-bending. Not sure, at this point. I am thinking that hooking up at gun shows might be the only way. I have to wonder how many gun buyers, even there, are gov 'employees'. It's looking like a sting unofficial gun buyback, using the unspent stimulus money.
Could-a be. could-a be.
ReplyDeleteI know I'd have felt comfortable buying a .50 a few years ago. Today, I'd be plenty skittish.
I've never had that kind of money at one time, to buy a .50, with or without the scope I was discussing. Owning any gun, today, should make you a bit skiddish. They have most certainly suggested they will be coming for them, sooner or later. With demographics as they are, and no real political or social retort of any real strength, I'm not seeing anything that will stop it. It's a matter of time.
