KiKi wears masking tape

KiKi suffers another day of humiliation. But it helps pass these winter days. However winter seems to have passed us by for now. We are enjoying unseasonable warm sunny weather for the month of February. Jude rolls in a bit of cat weed. Yesterday we went to the desert and enjoyed a day of shooting and MRI's. Good times!

A taste of things to come

I've got my "Russell Gun" (read Mosin-Nagant) taken apart as I am anticipating the arrival of my new stock.  The bolt has been shipped to the old man for customization (bent-bolt procedure) and the barrel will be taken to the local gunsmith to be shortened (docked 6-7") and re-crowned.  I should receive the new stock soon and I'll proceed to post updates and video tutorials on how to pillar bed the new stock and float the barrel for increased accuracy.  The final step will be mounting a scope and taking it to the range.  Here are pictures of the break down:

Fun w/ Pics

Uh Oh Folks!  I just downloaded a free 30 day trial of Lightroom 3 yesterday!  I'm completely addicted! They have got me!  Here are a couple of my before and afters (just messing around), but I can really see the potential.  Yes folks I can see that this could get very dangerous and stupid.  I can picture myself thinking I am very clever and creative.  I can see myself becoming a huge embarrassment!  It is pretty fun though.

Poor Andy Warhol, with no Photoshop to play with!

Not necessarily better, but definitely different.

Hey everyone, new BIPARTISAN efforts are being made to strip away our freedoms, right now in the form of SOPA (HR 3261) and PIPA (S968).  Please visit Electronic Frontiers Foundation, and read about these, or do your own research, but PLEASE by all means, contact your Congressmen, Senators and Reps and tell them NO WAY!!!!!  Already pressure from us little people have gotten 6 GOP Senators and 1 Dem. senator to back away from their support of PIPA, lets continue to give them hell!  President Obama has said he would not support them in their current forms, but don't believe a word he says, as just a few days ago he passed the indefinite detention legislation tat he publicly vowed to veto.  This is a big one, guys, please please please call and email your elected officials!!!!  Thanks, Tara  I have posed more on my facebook wall about this, and those devils involved...visit OpenCongress.org to see who is in support of this and who is not...trust me, you will be surprised...

In light of recent posts, this just seems relevant...

Chad's Mosin

We have the fever. We cannot resist the Nagant. Today, Woodrow and Chad went out shooting and had, well, a blast. Check it out!
