Do the day!

Coffee is certainly up along with croissants, turkey breakfast sausage and fruit. A healthy breakfast because
A good Saturday starts with with good coffee.
Make it a good one in spite of what the rest of humankind is up to.

Up early for a Saturday even though wife was really quiet taking dogs for walks this morning.

Grabbed a taco from Mojo Tortilla Co. and headed to work to finish some end of month stuff.

Saw a squirrel chasing a jogger by the golf course. That guy was really confused!!!

Knock out this stuff and get home to do chores there.

Did not win the Mega Millions last night.

FB friends on the left are wigging out about the strikes in Iran. They had zero to say when tens of thousands of Iranians were slaughtered by their own government recently. Weird.

A travel agent colleague (not local) was at the airport with her group trying to get home a day early when the sirens went off. They were taken to a bomb shelter while they try to figure the rest out. Haven't heard from her in several hours.

Sorry they are in Tel Aviv. I think airspace is closed. Last I heard they were going to see if they could fly out of Jordan. The US urged them to get out on 2/27 and they were trying to come home.

Yeah. I could see airspace being closed.

Hope they can get to Jordan and get out of there.

Odd side note: one of my neighbors is moving to Jordan soon.

It's been a rough couple days for my fingers. 2 nights ago I cut my left pointer and middle finger while chopping bell peppers. Then last night I slammed my right thumb in my truck door. It was throbbing all night, so I drilled a hole in my thumbnail this morning. Need to kill some deer this evening, so hoping by then my fingers will be functional enough to gut some deer and I don't incur further injuries.

Sucked and mulched the leaves on my side yard so the drip line for my foundation can go in. Needed to be done anyway - leaves were piling up.

Still having Optimum issues - they've been out twice, today will be the third time. WiFi drops sporadically for no reason. When that happens, I need to unplug the modem and then plug it back in. This issue began a couple of months ago.

Have a work deadline, gave my basketball tickets away for the sip game. Not really a fun day ahead although tomorrow will be awesome. I get to see my kids and grandson.

I spent a year in Jordan in 2010. Talk about culture shock.

Maybe let someone else gut the deer.

Have you ever considered writing a book about your life? I would read it.

Fancy coffee morning

Breakfast tacos

Oldest one and grandson coming to the house for the weekend

I love the place. The king is all about tough law enforcement and it keeps everyone in line. I remember trying to pay for a coffee and date cookie with a credit card and the merchant explained that would cost about $4.50 US. Or with US currency, he would charge $1.50. I had been advised to bring dollars denominated in 5-10-20, so I did. And he got a .50 tip.

Dog walked, breakfast eaten. Work out done. Should probably do some yard work, maybe sharpen the mower blade.

Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?

It's the only thing that has worked so far. It just has been repetitive.

Prepped and primed some brass to load up.
I just got the annealer and excited to try it soon.
Hit the gym and getting stronger in there.
Rode up to Conifer. Super nice day today.

The King of Jordan was an extra in an episode of Star Trek

Was also an avid ham radio operator. A now deceased local local ham spent many years there working for a major oil operator always spoke highly of him and the queen. They hosted each other in their homes often. He had many interesting stories about jy1, the radio king.

Saw news where the Supreme Leader of Iran FAFO. Omg!

• Slept in today for the first time in a long time
• Had to replace my TV because of planned obsolescence
• I should get an honorary law degree when I'm finally done dealing with all in-laws' problems

Did you go DIY annealer or commercial? Looking at the AMP MK II myself. Just not sure I can justify it tbh.

I went with the Burstfire annealer and case prep center. It is the gas version. They do make an induction annealer like that AMP brand. I don't shoot enough to justify one of those.

Ah. Gotcha. Yeah something like that I am sure is tailor made for me as well but I like unnecessarily fancy tools and the AMP is exactly that. As you say though, don't shoot enough to justify. But maybe I'll shoot more if so? The age old internal debate of reloading…

Yeah I honestly probably don't even need to do annealing but it's one of those rabbit hole things I feel compelled to try. I got my first suppressor recently and it was time to get back into shooting and reloading.

Really, you really want to know how my Sat went?? Ohhh thank you!

1st cup of coffee was phenom, second cup tasted like warm cow piss squeezed through a dirty sock
Corn beef n hash is much better with a sunny side egg on top , rather than mixed in "migas style...lesson learned.

Yards got cut, trimmed, n shat on proper.. Watered in even better(er) Unable to watch the Ags baseball, and was only able to catch a bit of the Ags vs sips bouncy ball debacle.

Nowsa got time to finish the wife's curio she's been reminding me to refurbish sine last June...dangit

Baseball was run-ruled on Saturday.
