Ugly Gun Sunday

Reminds me of some of the paint jobs I see on those little Japanese cars with add-on spoilers and altered exhaust systems that sound like an amplified weed whacker. Good luck selling that for a decent amount some day.

Food Cruise

The Wife and I have decided that to make better use of our motorcycles, we'll start looking for small, independent bar and grill/cafe places to eat. Number one, where we live is really, really flat. Which means there's not much of a reason for roads to twist and turn. So, once we're out of town, everything is pretty much straight, with the occasional stop sign. Riding for the joy of scenery is pretty much a no-go. Secondly, riding to the same three food franchises gets boring fast. So, we will now seek out heart disease in new and exciting places.

Tonight, that was Tank's Bar and Grill. A small hole-in-the-wall bar on a dying main street. But it was full, as the local farming population was coming in for beer and ribs. And the ribs are worth it; a foot-long rack of falling off the bone, smothered in BBQ sauce, delicious pig. Not usually liking ribs (too many fat-filled, leathery meat experiences), I'd ordered the grilled sixteen inch taco. Which was fine, in a "meh" sort of way. Basically, the Old Milwaukee beer I chose for the hell of it (memories of high school keggers past) was entirely appropriate for the taco. Not that great, but better than nothing. The ribs though; I'm going to steal The Wife's leftovers and figure out what beer goes with them. It's going to take a lot of ribs, I'm thinking.

Chutzpah

Definition: (Yiddish) unbelievable gall; insolence; audacity. From
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn.

Example: Showing up at the hospital way after your parent's pacemaker procedure is over, having the floor nurse interrupt the doctor in the middle of someone else's pacemaker procedure, and wanting to know.....

NOT how your parent did during the procedure;

NOT what to expect for a recovery period;

NOT how it will affect him for the rest of his life;

but would the doctor come up to the floor to write a note to the airline so you could get a medical discount on your ticket.

If Looks Could Kill

Gotta wonder what's behind a look like that. Let's see......narcissistic husband, fawning media and admirers, past history of marital "coldness", former model/french chick paying rapt attention to husband. Yeah, I think there's some serious hate and anger going on.

Class act.

New Tools

Going out to the garage to assemble something with a little more horsepower than me and an axe. Chopping wood is great exercise, until a rotator cuff goes or there's a trip to the ER to get the axe taken out of your foot. I'm modernizing before either happens.

Ugly Gun Sunday

This is a bit of a change from the usual subjects; the only thing this shoots is nerf darts. But, between work and school, I'm short on time and stored images.

While not particularly graceful or ergonomic, it is an interesting looking piece. More on this gun from the source site, Gizmodo. It's in French, but that's what internet translators are for.

Unwanted Guests

Apparently I'm the only one in my house that isn't afraid of flying fanged mice. Although I respect the little bastard, as he spent significant effort doing his best to naw through my glove. After scaring my kid by shoving the rodent at the camera, he was released to hopefully knock down the local mosquito population.
