    Havent been to the range in I dont know how long, and when I do go because of "other things" I dont get a chance to shoot that much...

    Been working a bit too much, but at least I can tell him where to get off...(yes its that kind of a boss/employee/friends relationship

    Wish PieceofPaper would get rid of that horrible, pain in the butt, movie clip as his signature...

    Would be nice if ppl would stop quoting in the threads..Cripes those things get half a page long and if you dont know what the heck you are doing you end up putting your comment in the quote...Its hard enough to tell where one stops and the other starts, why do it???????

    Enough for now..

    I cant stand looking at the flippin temp everytime I read a thread so mine goes...I know how hot it is here, I dont need to read the damn thing..[xx(]

    A new boss with no rules, guidance, input or history asks why you did what you did six months ago and acts like you poured gas on a nursing home fire.

    Blister packs. I hate those too. You know, the impossible-to-open plastic packaging that electronics come in. Those also make me feel stabby, except I usually end up stabbing myself trying to get the package open with a machete.

    I will spare the details, Yesterday we installed some forged bronze interior hand rails and grab rails in a highend home. All normal, thats what we do.

    The home is not 3700 square feet but 37,000 square feet.
    ok- Large home, I can deal with that, not my money. The kicker is, it's a Family of-










    4.

    I hate that all the free open lands where I was able to shoot to my hearts content have all been closed thanks to development and the "Save the Everglades" crowd. All that is left are $15/hr indoor ranges, which of course don't allow steel core military surplus ammo, thereby making you pay top dollar for commercial loads.

    Another thing that irks me is having to go 5mph max. in all those darn Manatee Zones in the Intercoastal. I've heard manatees taste like veal. Guess I'll find out if one gets in my way. (Joking)

    I love cats, but my neighbor's cat, whom I've strongly advised to get fixed, just gave birth to 7 kittens. They're using my front yard as a litter box and driving my Yorkie nuts. They sure are cute, though.

    Oh, least I forget, what's up the prices on Lugers? Its getting to the point that your last name has to be Gates in order to afford a decent one. Don't even get me started on military 1911s.

    Hey BR, you asked for rants, rants is what you get.

    ....Top this..I bailed a kid out of three different jails in 6 days. If he didn't have a job, he could rot till his court dates. It's all traffic related. I feel like an enabling fool.

    ...OK, he's no kid. He's 25 and been tossed out of the USAF. Yea, I'm a real proud dad today.

    ....On a lighter note.....When did "actually" become part of almost every sentence? It's constantly interjected in places where it carries no weight at all. Listen to any radio jock or on-the-spot reporter, and it pops up constantly. Actually, it drives me nuts.

    I hate slow drivers in the left lane who insist on going the same speed as the right lane.
    I hate cell phone users in traffic who become oblivious to the traffic around them.

    The students drove me crazy today, they were being lazy and I just don't have patience for that. So starting tomorrow at 0545 I will begin down sizing this current class. They aren't going to enjoy it very much. Life is so much easier on everyone when the students don't try and irritate the instructors.

    I also hate the preposition "at" when used at the end of a sentance. Such as "Where you at?"

    I also have no idea when the last time I went shooting was.

    I hate it when I don't two putt.

    I'm still wondering why I'm not doing much of anything this weekend when I have 4 1/2 days off. Maybe I'll do some shooting.

    BR, not exactly a rant. Well, maybe a little one. I got into the habit of using the "reply with quote" thingie back when Shadow83 was posting here. He had a habit of after you reply to his post, he would edit his post, and make it look like your reply was mindless rambling. I hate it when somebody changes their post after I have replied to it.

    I hate it when you get a really good buy on a really nice Milsurp rifle- and now find that two boxes of ammo will equal the purchase price of the rifle! Milsurp ammo is drying up faster than beer at an Airborne reunion. ARRRRGGGHHHH ! (Thanx- I feel much better now!)

    Ya know those electric scooters at Wal-Mart? All you see on them are people who should be walking some of their lard off! They should either restrict the use of those scooters to people with bona fide disabilities or be truthful and put "Wide Load" signs on them.[;)]

    I just finished 2 days enslaved to WinXP that wouldn't work right. Microsoft wouldn't let me look for upgrades due to error code 0x8003191 which wsn'e explained anywhere on the MS website. My daughter dropped in (blonde) and suggested I take down my Zone Alarm firewall. Instant success. So we went out to lunch. My favorite curvy waitress was showing off a monster diamond with channel mounts too so another lost ogle. It must have been the last downloaded ZA secutity suite upgrade.

    Then my backp harddrive software wouldn't load due to "a too active version of microsoft .NET runtime". No help online so I finally decided to delete my Microsoft Net Frammaker 2.0 so I could install again from Microsoft. When I went to remove the program I was given a choice to repair or remove. Tried repair. And now my harddrive software loads quick as anything.

    Such a waste of 2 days

    Old people who drive drunk on the wrong side of the road in the middle of a January blizzard with their cruise control set and then plow into you right in front of your house while you're slowing down to turn into your driveway, totally demolishing your car that you just put about $1200 worth of repairs into to make it driveable again, and then having to settle for $1900 from the insurance company and a truck that get's half the gas mileage that the car got before the old person ran into it.

    Dumbazzes who write a paragraph-long sentence.

    Parents who bring their children to restaurants and movie theaters, places where people pay decent money to enjoy a nice quiet evening without kids, and then don't keep them under control. They just let them run amok, oblivious to the fact that they might be annoying the other patrons, or occasionaly gazing at them, smiling, like they are just little gods on earth, and we should all feel blessed because they have allowed us the special treat of basking in their child's wonderfulness.
    And I'm a kid-person....but, geeze Clueless Joe, gimme a break.....

    Spent 5 hours at the local ER yesterday. My youngest fell off his bike, and fractured his elbow. Arrived around 1 PM, where he was triaged and sent to a treatment room. Didn't even see another medical person until 3. Had to locate cold-packs myself, and administer. Finally around 5, we were sent to x-ray. An hour later, someone actually read the x-ray, and confirmed the fracture. Advised that we follow up with an orthopedist next week.
    He!!, I could have just saved 5 hours by avoiding the ER, waited til next week when his elbow swells to the size of a grapefruit, then take him to the orthopedist......
    5 hours, a 10 y/o kid is just hanging out with a fractured elbow,... How do these people sleep at night?
