Tried Early Voting Yesterday...

...but when I saw the line meandering through the parking lot, of maybe 100 people, I turned around and left. Went again today, maybe 40 people on line. Will try again tomorrow later in the day, hoping to find less than 20 folks on the line and if so I may join in it.

All the best,

Texarkana Gun Show This Weekend - On The AR Side...

 ...of the twin cities. I am looking forward to it. Brendan will be visiting and we will have two tables at the show. We are trying to sell some personally owned guns by way of private sales and maybe sell a bit of ammo and other stuff too. Keeping my fingers crossed we do not catch the Rona V and that we sell lots of stuff (actually wish I had lots to sell but do have just barely enough, I am willing to part with, to get two tables).

The show is run by Kerry Murphy Promotions. Great folks and they hold nice shows.

All the best,

Did Not Sleep A Wink Last Night - Not Even One!

That's likely because my right hip was killing me so I took two Alleve which did nothing. Then I took a Tramadol. After waiting 20 minutes or thereabouts, I took another, that took off most of the edge. I went to bed but the thing is when I take Tramadol, I just lay there, quite comfortable and mellow when & if it completely kills all the pain (which it kind of, sort of, almost did last night) but I just cannot sleep. I've found that if I am exhausted and take one right before bed, I'll usually fall asleep and stay that way for maybe 4 hours or so until I have to haul mine arse out of bed to take a wee. Then when I go back to bed - no further sleep. 

Last night was one of the nights where I took it at more than a half hour before going to bed and it started to work while I was awake and for some damned reason unknown to me - I just laid in my bed unable to sleep because I took it like that. Why a pain killer would keep me awake is mind boggling. Then again, even more befuddling is the fact that the next day, I often feel as if I got a great night's sleep. 

For instance such was today. I have not taken a nap, not one wink, all day. That is odd because I got piss poor sleep for the two prior nights and then none at all last night and I felt fine all day today. Go figure but somehow it fools my body into thinking it was well rested.

All the best,
