She’s a fast learner!

So I got a really good laugh tonight.  I got a text message on my phone from my sister that just says, “My daughter just said, ‘dag gone commies’.”
Now, this is particularly hilarious to me because I’m the one who taught her that like a week or two ago.  Tonight, though, she said it unprompted.  [...]

Almost done

Well, won’t be long now.  I signed my V.A. Disability Rating papers today.  I’m not happy about the percentage I got, but there is always the chance for increase later on down the road.  Now I just sit back and wait for my orders to be cut and my clearing papers issued.  I’m only a [...]

Two damn votes! (a.k.a. I hate Democrats)

Well, the concealed-carry amendment I blogged about yesterday was defeated today in the Senate by TWO VOTES!  I am extremely displeased.
Here’s a link to a Washington Post article on the matter…
…and here’s one for Fox News.
Obviously, and this isn’t just my personal bias coming through, the WP article is waaaaay slanted towards the Democrat side [...]

Gun owners, keep your fingers crossed!

This could be a really big deal for us pro-Second Amendment people.  After all, anything that has the Democrats “scrambling” has got to be good!

Upcoming Military Robot Could Feed on Dead Bodies
And people have the gall to claim I’m nuts for warning of a robot apocalypse!  This is downright wrong!  Oh, I’m sure it’ll have some sort of “safety protocol” that won’t let it knaw on my femur after one of its buddies has shot me in the face, [...]

Good for you!

It’s nice to see someone in this military standing up for what they believe!

MHI Patch Contest

Well folks, Larry has done it now!  This is your chance to become a part of the Monster Hunter International universe.  I thought momentarily about being selfish and not blogging about this since my group of friends and I are going to participate in the contest, but pushing Larry’s book so it does well and [...]

Medical Board results are in…

That was fast, too.  My narrative summary (NARSUM) was just turned in at the beginning of last week (I think).  The board found me “unfit”, which was expected.  Now we’re just waiting on my disability rating and percentage from the V.A.  That should only take a week or so.  Maybe sooner.  After that, I get [...]

Best 4th of July ever!

Well… except maybe for the first 4th of July.
So the family picnic was scheduled for the afternoon of the 4th.  We were going to have bratwurst and hotdogs and beans and coleslaw and deviled eggs and… well… a ton of picnic-type foods.  You get the point.  So about 6am that morning my sisser comes up [...]
