Work Tomorrow

I have to work tomorrow, which is something I have not done all week at least at a job where someone pays me. Being on call part time can be okay but it can suck too because sometimes I will have had other things planned when I get that last minute call-in. I can always say I am not available and I kind of hoped to be off tomorrow but truth be told I don't want to do that too many times . I can use the cash now anyway.

One excellent thing about working tomorrow, it means I get at least partial pay for the holiday this past Monday. I have to work both at least a partial week the week before the holiday and at least one day the week of the holiday to get any holiday pay. That pay is then based on how many days I worked the week before. I worked two days last week. So, instead of getting three days pay for what will have been the past two weeks (once tomorrow is over), I will get three days plus probably at least a half day's pay for the holiday. Not a bad deal and as I said I can use the money. It will help make up for the money I spent on the Marlin 1936 (and the ammo for it) that I bought a couple of weeks ago.

I Truly Have Been Honored and...

...have had a smile put on my face all by a few sentences someone wrote about a YouTube video I posted:

"Thank God i saw this, I have seen several reassembly videos and they don't convey the right way to do it. I finally got it together after struggling for a couple of days on and off. Great video and a genuine service for humanity. 10 stars."

 

That was a comment left relative to my video about reassembling a Ruger Mark II pistol. While I have gotten some other nice comments, for some reason this one really hit home. It put a smile on my face because it helped another firearms enthusiast accomplish a sometimes difficult task (I use my videos when I am disassembling or reassembling my Ruger Mark II) and because he or she was nice enough to honor me by letting me know I had helped in some small way. Yeah, I know, it's a long video but it sure seems to have helped some folks.

What Are The Chances UMich Won't Cave In...

...to the demands of Students4Justice, apparently made up of so called students of color that they be given “a permanent designated space on central campus for Black students and students of color to organize and do social justice work.” In other words, a white free zone. More here: http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/31322/.

Way to go Students4Justice, as I see it, you have stumbled upon an excellent way to foster racism while you destroy tolerance, diversity, inclusion, integration, equality and any respect of one group for another.

And to think, these are college students acting in this totally asinine manner - seems to me more like they belong in 5th grade than in college.

My guess, no matter how ludicrous is the plan, is that the chances are nil to maybe one in ten thousand at best that the school administration will nix their plan completely.

Monsters Among Us - Staking Out The Trail

Some apparent lunatic has been hammering nails into objects along trails in a park in NC. One runner/hiker has already been injured by stepping on one of them and another had a close call in which his shoe but not his foot was punctured (my prime person of interest to date). Police and a runners' group are attempting to uncover and clear the area of these potentially deadly stakes. More here:

If it was happening here close to home in NY, I think I would be staking out the area to help find the madman that has been leaving these booby traps for unsuspecting folks. Not so much for the meager $1,000 reward that has been offered for information about he case but to drive a proverbial stake through the heart of his (or her) madness to bring an end to it.

All the best,
