Not only can you give the commies your credit card info, you can expect a knock on the door from the EIEIO.

Yes.

The company has to get in touch with UPS, and go through the song and dance. I’m guessing at least two weeks. At least.

If not, I’ll dispute the charge and go that way. But I doubt I’ll need to.

Actually, no, the things I said would happen will.

Tried my hand at sewing a rifle bag.
I’ve gained respect for
1. People who can work on sewing machines.
2. People who have skills to operate sewing machines.

I’ve also come to grips with the fact an 8 year old in Bangladesh is far better sewing than I am.


I’ll cut more pieces and let my kid have a go. That was the original plan, but it didn’t work out. So, I thought I’d try it on my own.

It ended about how I figured, lots of cussing and a failed attempt. I mean, it was my first attempt, but I knew how it would end.

Although I've watched videos in slow motion of how a sewing machine works, I still feel like it's part black magic. I can hand sew but damn does it take forever.

The wife’s sewing machine was having a problem a few years back, she ask me to fix it. I bravely opened it up. Once the cover was off my jaw dropped! The most complex mechanical thing I’ve ever seen. Who the hell can design one of those things! Put the cover back and told her maybe we should get her a new one.

So, our warehouse dude says my package has arrived. Guess they found my barrel somewhere.
Now, to see how **** up it is. I’m wagering I’ll find dinged up threads.

Barrel arrived with a slight ding on the muzzle threads. Slight as in the brake threaded on with no resistance.
Do I want to be that prick and make UPS eat it? Yes. Do I have the time or will to mess with it? No.
Maybe I’ll find a parked UPS truck and take a big poop in the back for revenge.
Of course, they also lost the gas tube, which wasn’t in the box today.

These scammers are relentless. I received an email in pdf form with a letter and picture of my house with my personal info inside the letter. It's a sextortion letter. They claimed to have put a bug in my phone that reversed my camera to watch and record me while giving myself a rub down (you know what I mean.) They then claimed that I was watching "disgusting porn" and threatened to send a split screen video of me (erm, with myself in hand) and the porn on the other screen and send it to all of my contacts if I don't pay them 2000 in bitcoin 🙄.
Of course it's bullshìt but I'd love to get my rosey palms on them for some recourse. They also tried to say I had a nice setup, as if they saw my room. Jokes on them because I do my deeds in the bathroom like any other respectable male with zero privacy 😄

Weirdly though, they did send a spam email to a forum member with my info.

I'm curious if they just forwarded the same email that I got to you or if it's something accusatory or what. Who knows. I'd love to know where the person resides that's responsible though.

The thing about PDF or any file extension, is I can send anyone any kind of file I want, and just change it to .pdf, .WTF, etc. I’ve still sent the nasty virus, just with a different file extension. Sure you’d have to change it back after you save it to make it give you the herps, but it’s possible.

I know some guys who used to send fire alarm panel programs through the company interwebs by changing the file extension from whatever it was to pdf. Then the recipient would change it back to beat the email police.

The thing is, now they can embed the "herpes" directly into the PDF, where you catch it just by opening the PDF, no changes required.

I've now fired off over more than 3000 ball bearings from my slingshot and got to the point of being able to hit small targets with ease at pretty long distances. I killed a Starling sitting on a tree limb about 25 yards away and then busted a squirrel in the side at somewhere between 35 and 40 yards that was cutting nuts while sitting on top of my fence. He did take 2 tries but I got him with a lightweight compressed clay ball. It knocked him off the fence then he took off running 😅. I think I might invest in a big floor magnet because I must have picked up 500 or more bearings from around my target the other day.

Honestly, I'm glad that I never bought the first slingshot that I looked at.that had a laser on it because there are just too many hold variables for them to be consistent. Maybe other people are able to make them work but I'm doing really really good with the technique that I use to aim.

I never thought I'd get into shooting a slingshot so much. It's almost therapeutic. I'll also have to post a picture of what those steel balls are doing to a 1/16" thick sheet of stainless that I use as a target gong.

I want to make a glock frame (functional) out of wood. Maybe ash or hickory and soak it in epoxy to harden it even more. Hmm.
I really don't want to Google it and be disappointed that somebody else in this overpopulated world already did so and will make me feel less extraordinary lol.
