It was interesting to taste the difference in different versions. I would never buy a bottle of bourbon. I prefer beer.

499 is pretty much the lowest you see them with any consistency. So, not a screaming deal, but definitely a very good price.

That was their regular price but I don't know enough about the AR platform to know a good deal from an OK to a bad deal. I also don't know how accurate or precise they are. Don't need one at the moment anyway, but it would be a good coyote spoon.

Dude helping us was part time help and was pushing us to an AR in .22 long rifle instead of the 10/22. I know the M&P 15/22 is a pretty hot little spoon at the moment but a lot more $$ up front.

Finally getting to find some spoon food. .22 match for $0.06 per round in a box of 350. Grabbed some but they may go to my brother in law since he can only get 1 box per day per customer in either 100 or 50 round boxes. 20 round boxes in long spoon food. Yes, that is 1 box of anything per day.

Em did like the new style way to grip the forestock on them in the AR platform. Doesn't work on her 30-30.

I have been officially schooled on basic accounting. Think they makin everyone take this course to explain how the company can not show a profit for the month, not lay anyone off or cut production and still be makin monies.

I wish I was shot-timer enough to blow off training. I don't see any value at this point in my career.

Not fond of the factory 22 'AR's.....they're plastic and flimsy. A 10/22 is a far better choice.
The 22 conversions aren't as flimsy, but they can be a pain to get cycling.

Evening all.

We got back from the bourbon tour and got off that bus and walked to the bus to go to dinner. The rally awards were given out. One trip to Germany and one trip to just the Nurburgring and lots of other prizes were won by other people. Nothing for us.

Aggggghhhh.

My cell phone did not charge at all last night. This morning it was at 18% and I managed to get it to 75% before we left. It was at 1% when we got back to our room and now the cable is stubbornly not wanting to work. I tried a different cable and it is even worse. I will try my second backup cable and try to get some juice in the battery.

Note to self: order some good quality cables ASAP.

LOL, my sons iPhone charging jack was full of fuzz from his pockets. I did not think there is so much room in the charging jack!
Also had to clean the speaker and mic holes.

Times like this it really makes you wonder about those "drop it on" charging pads.

Morning all.

Today we do a scenic byway tour. Back to driving not riding. Part of the group yesterday opened one ore more bottles of bourbon. At the Jim Beam tour we could keep the little glasses they gave us for the samples. I gave mine to one of the bourbon lovers since I have no use for it. That part of the bus got loud and rowdy.

Woohoo, finally got everything migrated to 365. Now let's see what happens when I decommission the old Exchange server.
