My friend, it ends up, wants to get his hair cut. Fair enough. I need mine cut. It's been... a while. It was too late today, being nearly 17:00 when I arrived in town. Still, he had a few other stops. And of course a meal. While he was looking at ammo and some other things, I spoke with a bowman at the sports store. They do have a compound bow that works for my needs, probably $600 out of the store with everything needed and some wants. That and a target is my next major purchase item. Though I have to admit, I am seriously thinking about true blackpowder firearms. Just from materials locally, and perhaps a lead reserve and bullet press, would allow a hunting and minor self defense firearm for as long as the weapons last.
A trim, it seems, is finally in the cards. I'll be getting a haircut similar to what I had last time, though making the potential hawk material a bit thinner. As well, I am not more than evening the length on top. I am going to look for materials by which to make a stacked mohawk. I won't be wearing it like that all the time. But I have to admit, a raised hawk would look just about right with a right kilt and kit, biker boots, and perhaps a pirate's shirt. Just... a thought. A little face camo and, well... Never mind. A niche burner thing, among other places. Not exactly what to wear to the doctors. :)
Yeah, I'm using my friend to help get me off my duff. Even then it took two days! Bleh. Oh, but he says the weather is supposed to get into the 60's early next week. No hints, shooting time he suggested. And I suggested that sounds about right. Not quite a date, not even a promise with a raincheck, merely the plans. He has a pistol or two he hasn't even shot, and I have some magazines to check out. I doubt if my rifle will be dry by then, but who knows. If I get up early enough -laughs go here- I'll get to it. Hmm... I might could do a bit tonight? Yeah, maybe. But... where to dry things? Gah! Always some detail. I could open some windows in the back "porch", and close the door so they don't (somehow) get meat squirrel fur all over them. Damned but they are curious little beastesses. I don't need a whole lot of light for this part. It's the detail work that I want to do in the sun. Though temp might be a problem. Then again, while outside is too cool, where... nah... with the windows open it would be too cool. Oh well. Perhaps tomorrow evening if I get back in time.
I told him to start calling at 11:00, then call until I am up and going. I'll try to hit it by midnight, if I can, and set the alarm for 8:00, if I do make it by midnight. After the haircut I am going to trim his computer a bit more, and teach him a bit more beyond that. He hasn't been tinkering with it much. His sister is showing him some things, but... He is struggling. I really need to spend some time with him, showing him just exactly what that little tool can mean for him. He is an information hoarder, and has many hobbies and interests. The computer simply offers a gateway to much, new and old. We'll see.
Ah, I did and didn't forget the card. When I go in tomorrow I will stop at JC Penney, and get a card from them. There is no Target in town. I swear, I have seen the Bullseye sign, but... nope. I meant to buy the card tonight, but then... forgot. I didn't have the birthday cards with, as those will need to be taken into the post office. The one with the card will be registered mail, so as to ensure it. So... Late, on the cards, but they will be sent, this time, finally. Ugh... Later, or maybe good night.
Oh, ammo! Found a source of 7.62x39 for 27 cents a round back in stock. Bought two cases. If this keeps up, I could be back to recreational shooting at the pistol club before long. :)

ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the way to go. Though it seems Zero is f'ing with it, in sanctions, including arms and ammo. Sounds like a scam, all the way around. If I had the money, I'd buy another couple of lots.
ReplyDeleteThen again, Putin has a brain and Zero is a putz. I shouldn't say that, putzes aren't all that bad. He'll just ship the stuff to one of the former blocs and have them send it over.
