More Krav Maga tonight. This time warmups were back and forth sprints, then about 160-180 total squats with sets of dive bomber pushups. Those things were murder, my quads were crying for mercy. Today was mostly low and leg work. Low defensive punches, low punch defense, shuffle front-leg straight kicks, elbow punches, and combinations of […]

I fired a Glock 23 last night and a HK USP .40 today. I really liked the feel of the Glock, the levers and whatnot were accessible and didn’t require a lot of force. Glocks are also relatively cheap, a used 22 or 23 could be had for $450 or so. Unfortunately the lack of […]

I’m in the market for a semi-automatic pistol. I went to the promising local gun range and fired a few boxes through a Beretta 92FS and a Sig Sauer 220 45 ACP. I’m looking for a .40 or .45, so that rules the 92FS out. However I’ll miss that 15 cartridge magazine on larger calibers. […]

Yay, I survived Krav Maga tonight. After my last class I was dreading this like a dental appointment, but made it through participating the whole hour. I almost have jump rope mastered. I had a partner that was my height and I learned how to better pace my effort. I got winded and dizzy several […]

So I went to the grocery store for the first time in a couple of months, there’s something new. Shopping cars with cupholders. WTF? Fatass americans can’t go shopping for more food to make them even fatter and plagued with disease without chugging on a Coke now?

I don’t get it. Why do people depend on a site like MySpace to send messages back and forth to friends? E-mail has been a solved problem since the 1960s. I haven’t figured out the advantage, other than concealing your true e-mail address. Anyone?

I popped out for a overnight trip to Virginia, back home again! The airline system was fraught with problems. The AUS->IAD was scheduled to leave at 3:30 PM, then 5:30, then 8:00, then 9:05, then 9:57. It kept getting pushed back because other planes were delayed due to the weather. I got to AUS around […]

Radio Shack is completely useless these days. That is all. Where’s a guy got to go to buy twenty five feet of RG-58A/U cable without driving to north Austin?

My symptoms finally cleared up, so I’m either rid of the parasites or they’ve gone dormant and are waiting to strike me down again when I’m least expecting it. I lost five pounds in three days and have kept it off, yay for the parasite weight loss plan. I bought a toolbox for my truck. […]

I’m all for making obscure jokes. This one just happens to be two years too late. Ok, that was /really/ obscure — only like five people got the funny (fortunately, the ones it was intended for), the rest were “uh, heh heh?” The Land Rover picture is a parody of the “No you can’t have […]
