Oh, and who else is going to the Indy 500 and getting rained on?

This guy. I'm in the paddock just past the finish line where our seats are few rows under cover from the drip line. So, 1st 20 laps we are in the sun, then shaded the rest.

Since I had to pack tonight for the annual range day down south:
K98
BCI AR 15
P-08 Luger
Nagant Revolver
Enfield Revolver
CZ 50
Glock 19
Walther PP my buddy picked up for me

Update: Got a new shooter joining us.

 

[actaeon277]

Oh yes, he is a hugger too

...

He hugged my dad.
I was waiting for a throat punch.

Well, AFTER sharpening my riding lawn mower blades, my dad and I noticed both blades had problems.
One blade had a chip missing.
Other blade was bent about half an inch or so.

Of course, I had sharpened the blades with my dremel before I noticed.
So, today I replaced both blades.
Took a while, dropped a washer for the mower deck.
Didn't want it to get sucked up into anything.

Finally cutting grass at the subdivision. Cut there earlier, so I know there'll be garbage, but I have a "grabber" for that, and a garbage bag.
Shouldn't be anything big.
Except the freakin CHAIN my mower hit. Threw it right out the chute.
Mower seems okay.

What you do with whips and chains in your yard is your business...and apparently your neighborhood's too.

Finally Friday and off to Chiraq for a early morning delivery and back to Indiana before the traffic makes it's way out of the city for the Hoilday.

 

[jedi]

already in chriaq.

It was probably Jedi's chain, but I didn't know that Larry was into that stuff too.

He hugged my dad.

Oh, that is where Larry gets his strange proclivities


You north of 30 boys are very cosmopolitan

Well, it wasn't in the Christmas display, so...

 

[melensdad]

I know I'm just a dumb south of 30 hillbilly but I've long said that internet appliances like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung (and others) 'Smart' TV sets, NEST's entire product line, etc. etc. etc. will end up causing far more trouble for people than they are worth.

Interesting article for everyone who lives south of the Thug barrier line

Those of you who live in the dirty north part of the county can't read it anyway, the article wasn't spray painted on a wall

Amazon ALEXA problem far worse than thought... LINK => https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018...private-conversations-without-your-permission

jedi did not read the entire article but you do realize that if you want an r2d2 type helper that said device/robot needs to know you PERSONALLY

if they made the alexa devices look, talk, and move around like r2d2, i would be much more willing to let the whole constantly spying on me and selling my data thing slide

 

[jedi]

one day but we are still years from it.
by the time it does happen they will become self aware and then we are in big trouble

 

[2A_Tom]

They are already self aware.

My phone typed this itself.

I65 holiday traffic is surprisingly light...and that's fine with me.

16.5 hours at the casion and walked out $262 and some change richer. Not through any type of gambling, but I work there on occasion. It's the only way you're guaranteed to leave with more than you went with.

You spelled it wrong.
