Really no worries with ammo, I have a few thousand rounds of 9mm
stashed here and there. Anyway, I may decide not to shoot this one at
all at least for awhile as I may sell it or gift it somewhere down the
road....on my house hunting trip over the last few days. The four I actually looked at all had what appeared to be either many minor to medium sized problems and two had major problems. One of those two looked nice and was in a great secluded location but had foundation problems and the floors were uneven and cracked, the other also had foundation problems and it felt as if you were in a funhouse at the amusement park (or maybe just drunk and dizzy) once you walked in the door - it's floors were that slanted. There were two excellent houses on my list but both of those were already under contract before I got to TN; they were each on the market about a week. Nice houses are selling fast, very fast. Oh well, the realtor promised me she will be looking at house for me and call me if any other really nice ones come up for sale.
I am happy about that because the cost of another few days trip is prohibitive. I am guessing I spent $650 to $750 on a six day trip and I spent two nights of those days at my son's house.
...that's house hunting not turkey or pig hunting. Or should say, I am going hunting. Not going to say exactly where I'll be but I have seen some nice houses advertised, some with acreage up to 20 acres or so for well under 200K. Seen some others around $140 with very little land but nice enough to consider buying and then going out to buy 20 to 50 acres of land nearby.
I'd rather pay off a mortgage than pay rent. I most certainly am not looking forward to another rent increase in August when my lease is up. I also am not looking forward to remaining in my current apartment complex as it not all that great and I think will soon get worse. Yes, they are doing renovations to some extent but they are being done haphazard at best and too little too late to suit me. Even if the landlords renovated everything here and made it look nice, it would only be for the sort term because many of the tenants here, not all mind you but many, are absolute slobs and have no respect for their neighbors or for the property.
Time will tell if I buy a house or not but I had best be fast before Biden devalues the U.S. $ by printing more and more of them and causing massive inflation. Prices going up more and more and more due to anticipated inflation, as they already have been over the past few months already, and the belief this place is headed further downhill has me sick & tired of paying rent to live in what fast is heading toward becoming a slum. No matter how much they fix it, I think the tenants will turn it into one. I'd prefer to be the lord & master of my own house and land than pay rent to a slumlord. I can only hope at least some of the houses I am targeting have cable TV and high speed Internet available. Please wish me luck on they hunt.
Apparently he's another piece of shit killer of black people called to justice and from what I have seen there is ZERO stink being made about it by BLM. I guess that is because, in my opinion (and in the opinions of many others I believe), most members of BLM are racists pure and simple and only call for action when the person doing the killing is other than black (or maybe they would also do it when a black police officer kills a black person but that is questionable).
You really have to wonder though about why anyone in a group like BLM is not out marching calling for this guys execution when he reportedly did this:
"The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Sir
suffered a ruptured stomach, bruised kidneys and a torn adrenal gland. " More here at the source. How hard must he have hit him to have done that! I am sure this excellent example, of fatherhood of
what is wrong in the black community, will not be punished nearly enough for
his offense since he pled guilty and because BLM is not out protesting, marching, blocking traffic and or rioting to try to sway the court to assure he is punished appropriately not only for taking a black life but for destroying the future of a black child by ending his life, at such a tender age, by way of brute force.
About the only thing I will give him is that at least he has seemingly accepted responsibility even if only due to what I suspect was a plea deal.
...but me thinks most would find it rather unpleasant. Meet The Penetrator:
...and they did it resoundingly when RINO Romney took to the stage there recently:
Hopefully they will get this bum out of politics as they seemingly got him away from the podium! Can you imagine the sheer gall he had to ask the crowd if they were embarrassed! Of what I wonder. I suppose my answer to myself would be that they might have been embarrassed of ever voting for him in the first place and thus are also embarrassed that he is their man in government. The man is, I think, pure RINO much akin to the late John McCain.
By the way, I checked what to call them before calling the Utahns see: https://www.ksl.com/article/24207511/is-it-utahn-or-utahan. I chose to go with what they call themselves in their state - not what the federal government wants to call them. After all, it is their state.
...pieces of shit, in my opinion, to have left a fellow officer, alive or dead, inside with the assailant for as long as it's been (this reportedly commenced at 0944 and it's now 2220 hours - many hours after this started). They should be ashamed of themselves and if the officer who is trapped inside lives - I hope that officer never let's them live it down. See: https://www.foxnews.com/us/north-carolina-deputies-shot-watauga-county-standoff
That is all I will say and no one nor any excuse from the police will change my mind.
My son bought a house, I guess it was last month, maybe the month before. He was in his yard I guess today and came across this little guy; in his text to me he said he almost stepped on it:
Did any politician in the Demoncrat party, or any leftist politician or bureaucrat of another party (like a RINO), or any big mouthed activist movie star or sports figure, or any prominent member of BLM ever once mention the fact that the WHITE police officer - who shot the piece of shit black female who was about to stab the other BLACK female - saved a BLACK person's life because of that shooting! Racism is alive and well in America and it is practiced by black folks as much or more than by white folks each and every day. If the cop was a racist and the shooting was racially motivated - why did the officer save the one BLACK female's life and not just wait for the other black female to stab her first and then shoot the black stabber! The only thing race had to do with this is what the MSM (Mud Slinging Media) and leftist politicians and activists - race baiters all as I see them - brought to the reporting of it.
Did any of them also confront the black community over the amount of black on black killings that go on each day in places like Chicago, without said community doing almost anything to actually put a stop to them let alone their failure to be as vociferously against those killings as they are riotously against the handful (in comparison) by police officers!
If they have, I have not heard it or read it. Yes, racism is alive and well in the USA but it works both way and guys like LeBron James seem as racist to me as Joe Biden (who somehow now, after years of evident racist statements and acts, is playing a saint in the cause to end racism).
...well, probably not all because I am sure some other ultra-liberal twit will come out of the woodwork tomorrow to tell me buying ammo is racist (remember that's my idea, not yours, for a YouTube video).
Before watching the below video, you have got realize that you must be prepared to see what I consider either to be one of the biggest leftist liberal idiots of all time or someone who is very good at hiding the fact she is being sarcastic and satirical. So, mind you, don't start watching as you are eating or drinking unless you want whatever it is in your mouth to wind up all over your computer or keyboard.
I can only hope it is sarcasm and satire but with the amount of morons falling out of the cracks today, I have to wonder.
All the best,
...but don't think I am being overly generous - he has to pay for half of it and also has to let me use some space in it. Anyway, it is still putting a nice hole in my pocket.
At 545 pounds, it is heavy. More specs here:
I'd much rather have ordered an AMSEC safe, they are much better safes, but they are cost prohibitive right now at about 2.5 to 3 times the price for one of a similar size.
Now, I also am going to have to get something for my daughter to even things up between them. That hole in my pocket is going to get bigger.
...and a sense of sadness weighs heavily on my psyche. I could never have told you the name of the man who played that little hairy dude, Cousin Itt, in the original Addams' Family series but can say with absolute certainty he sure made me laugh. Today, the news of the passing of Cousin Itt (Felix Silla) brought a heaviness to my heart but also brought sweet memories to mind of one of the best TV shows, if not the very best TV show, of my youth and he was one of the oddest of delightful oddities in that television family. More about him here: https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/the-addams-family-actor-felix-silla-dead-84
Rest In Peace Cousin!

The progressive, liberal, leftist Democrats are at it once again. They are about to introduce legislation to add 4 seats to the Supreme Court in an attempt to pack the court with liberal judges. See: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-expanding-supreme-court-forthcoming-legislation.
While it may be legal, this is an outrage that goes far beyond anything they have attempted since FDR was in the White House. If they succeed you can kiss your Constitutionally protected rights goodbye for a long long time. My guess is that once they have whittled down our rights and liberties with a packed Supreme Court, a revolution in the form of a civil war will not be far behind and hundreds of thousands if not millions of Americans will perish because of this legislation if it passes into law. Leave it to the left to always play dirty and to try to stack the deck in their favor without regard for the true welfare of the American citizen.
Of course, one can hope that just as back in FDR's day, many of those in the Democrat party will vote against it. Even the ultra-liberal Ruth Bader Ginsberg was against packing the Supreme Court; so, there is hope other Democrats will be of like mind now and thus tragedy will be avoided.
All the best,
...to the dreaded outdoor range at Smith Park in AR. It was nice if only because no one else was there shooting and thus was not dreadful as when the local arsehats with absolutely no range etiquette or clue about range safety show up. Of course, it was also nice because I was shooting. I shot up a couple hundred rounds of 32 Auto in an Ortgies pistol and a Zastava Model 70, shot hundreds of rounds of 9mm through my Glock 19 Gen5 and simply had a blast. It was a well needed break from the drudgery of life under the Biden administration.
Cannot wait until I get my next chance to visit there and shoot up a bunch more of my ammo reserves. Need to be ready for the upcoming zombie apocalypse 😱😨!
Enough said.
All the best,
Passage into law of H.R. 1207 would have draconian effects on purchases of ammunition, such as: "To require face-to-face purchases of ammunition, to require licensing of ammunition dealers, and to require reporting regarding bulk purchases of ammunition.".
If this law passes, I imagine I could find myself (and more than a few of you) in line to buy ammo in a place south of the border, some place like Pedro's Pawn & Gun in Nuevo Laredo.
I did mention recently that you need to buy ammo now (or reloading supplies): https://ballseyesboomers.blogspot.com/2021/03/buy-ammo-or-be-that-guy.html
...much deeper than the roots of any evergreen tree now or in the past. See: https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-school-postpones-vote-on-changing-mascot-to-evergreens-over-concerns-of-ties-to-lynching
It is truly unbelievable that a so called educator would make such a preposterous claim that an evergreen tree as a school mascot might be racist due to the possibility it may invoke images of lynchings. I guess no botanist is she nor has she ever slung a rope over a branch to lift a heavy object - because if she had done so (that is any legitimate lifting job using a rope over a tree limb for leverage not a lynching mind you) then she'd know an evergreen would be a poor choice of trees for the task at hand due to all the other branches getting in the way and all the sap that would wind up on the rope and her hands. That is not to say an evergreen was never used in a lynching even though unlikely but it is to say - what next - tear down all houses with studs made of pine!
It has gotten to the point where anyone can accuse anything as being racist and they suddenly are given credence by leftist morons and the press makes it a national news story. If I was religious I'd be praying for God's help right around now - help to purge the idiocy from the face of the earth. As it is, I am asking, in fact begging, for intervention by nature, The Fates, The Force, the gods, God Almighty or whatever or whomever can help - we need all the help we can get.
I j;ust took a look at my pending comments. I had a few from some user called Movierulz4 which was a bit annoying but not terribly so. Then there were the comments left by some shithead with the user name gunzone. That fucker left the same comment 30 or more different posts. What kind of satisfaction does a piece of shit like that get by trying to be a pain in the arse 30 plus times? I merely checked the "All" box, then hit the icon to delete them all in one fell swoop. Fuck em.
All the best,
