I finally did it. That's right, 17 lbs of sweet liquid propane, all mine. Boredom has finally driven me to finishing a LP burner for my metalcasting furnace.......heh heh heh heh...........fire....fire. I'm about to go finish drilling the holes and try it out. I had built a charcoal furnace, but I had a little trouble with using it to melt bronze, partly 'cause I hadn't made a proper lid for it, and partly 'cause every time it got ready to melt, the charcoal ran out, and it cooled off when...
Here's one of my favorite parts of being a soldier. You're out somewhere....in a store, at the movie theater, visiting relatives, what have you, when someone finds out you're in the Army, and asks the Question. "So, like where were you in Iraq?" "I didn't go to Iraq." "Oh.......(three seconds of dead silence.....always three.) Afghanistan then?" "Nope" "You about to deploy?" "Nope. Everybody but me in my unit went, and I called in sick and or hid behind a dumpster while everyone else...

Woot, 14 days, 4.5 hours left in the Army. Outprocessed CIF (central issue facility) today. For all non-army folks who will undoubtedly be bored to tears by this, I turned in all the thousands of dollars of beat-up crap the Army entrusted to my care. In one go. This is not the norm. I rule. I showed up at 4 in the morning, and was the first one in line at the gate. Not the first to arrive by a long shot, but the silly bastards didn't want to stand in the rain with all their stuff for some ...

No, really. Has it been 68 days since I posted? Yeeesh. 16 days and a wakeup and I'm free, FREE, FREEEE!!!!!!!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! In the meantime, I'm hoping tomorrow we'll have a run day for P.T. Yeah. right. Got orders and clearing papers today, and cleared almost everything on post in about two hours. Tonight and tomorrow, Medal of Honor, and cleaning TA-50 (army issue gear) for turn-in. It's amazing how much killing virtual Nazis will help you deal with that. Patton got ...

Apart from my wife for the first time in a couple of years. She had to go to Arkansas because her grandfather was dying. (passed this morning 4 a.m.ish.) Just me, the computer, and three evil cats. Lonely, bored, don't like it much. Oh well, there's always another 40 rounds of KoL........ Joy, I miss you. nbs
My response to "Guns are for Destroying Things". . Link By banning guns, you fail to reduce violence. Violence is ingrained in man. All you achieve instead, is to reduce the technology base of law abiders one step below criminals. Forget the semantics about guns in particular. We're really arguing over whether it is right to be able to own a weapon, any weapon, something which is intended to harm another being. Anything. Anything, can be used as a weapon. Making some weapons more di...
Bad George Lucas. Bad BAD NAUGHTY Lucas. Don't waste your time or your money on this movie. Just got back from Episode III, and while it didn't suck as much as a ball of rancid chicken fat (or as we like to call it, Episode II,) it damned sure tried hard. Darth Lucas's latest creation is so terrible in fact, that it made me wish I was the droid leader, General Grievous, just so I could give it four thumbs down. There were rare moments when I could laugh as hard as I did during Day...

Day 93. 1. Spent the day doing dark deeds, in a dark place, under a dark mood........muhahahahahaha!!!!! 2. A man blinded me with science, but I dodged like poetry in motion. 3. Went swimming, I will do an Ironman! (and then I'm gonna play the ozzie song ALL. THE. TIME.) who rules, baby? 4. Sat around singing the spongemonkey moon song. (If you haven't yet, check it out here......... Link very very funny.......in fact check out they're whole site, pretty good stuff.) Link Hmmm...
