Moon Walks

The Moon

I have been on a mission to improve my fitness. So far I have lost like 54 pounds and I have discovered several things.

The best exercise for me is simply walking.

The less I weigh the more comfortable my IWB holsters are.

The stronger my arms, the better my handgun shooting.

I like to walk at night and tonight was a VERY full moon. It's nice to walk and feel safe.

Lasers at night are AWESOME!

--Get fit people. The Zombies are coming!

Zombie Tuneage

When I saw this question over at Tam's (who saw it on RNS) and then Breda's I immediately knew my answer as well.

The idea is that you are to your last magazines and know that there is no escape.

What do you put on the iPod as you tear though the Zombie hoard? First with your last bullet then your matches set of Kukris.




--I love this meme.

Breda and the Bretta CX4 Storm .40

T-Bolt called my CX4 Storm With it's EOTech sight the "Belle of the Ball" of the Northcoast Blogshoot II, or was he talking about Breda? 

There was a 10 inch gong on the range and I loved to ring it with a 2 round per second pace.

Clay pigeons on the berm at 50 yards made for excellent targets. I brought 300 rounds of .40 and they were gone in no time on the first day. I had to make a Walmart run the next day and pick up another 100 rounds!

--Zombies beware! Just wait until it's suppressed!

9/11 Memorial

Others will be way better than me talking about 9/11. I just need to say that it changed my life in many ways. Priorities changed. Anger turned to action. The world changed with me.

I can't say the anger is gone yet. Why is my sky still empty, ten years later. Ten years after Pearl Harbor Japan had radioactive smoking holes. I still feel harsh. The world should be glad I am not driving this bus...

Shade and shooting

In Saturday we were sooo glad we had brought along our own shade and chairs.

It was like 96 degrees that day and we were baking as it was. Without all the shade flies it would have been misery.

Even my black rifles could not be left uncovered in the sun. They would get too hot to handle.

On Sunday we had a little rain.

--So add a shade fly to your range bag!

Careful where you park

That will buff out

At the Northcoast II Blogshoot we got to shoot up a car. A I have a ton of pics taken before and after.

My first shot was through the passenger window into the headrest at about 40 yards.

The most notable holes were not on this side of the car but the other side.

Lots of rounds went through both doors and out the other side. My .44mag was making BIG holes in and out.

Just remember folks. Cars are concealment not cover.

--And this was all with handguns...

Northcoast II is Over (way too fast)

I had a great weekend at the Northcoast II Blogshoot!

I want to once again thank our hosts for the mountain of work it took to stage the thing. I want to thank everyone that cooked all the excellent foods.

I also want to curse that traffic on the way home. My 5.5 hour drive was turned to a 10 hour drive by rain and twisted metal.

More later. Off to bed.

--Home safe and sound.

Gun Dreams

The shit had hit the fan long ago.

The fires seemed to still be burning. I knew if I took off the mask the air would kill me.

I had to get somewhere, I didn't know where, but I was going. I had my Saiga 12 configured as close to Abomination as possible. It had a 30 round drum, a 40mm grenade launcher and a tactical light.

If something moved I would have shot it.

Nothing moved.

I was walking thinking about how good it was to have the right boots and the right sling.

I found a roll of black duct tape on top on a blue mail box that had been torn open.

I smiled inside my mask. Thinking how no one could tell I was smiling.

There was a cemetery entrance there. I walked into the darkness of it. It was very familiar. The sound of the cinders under my boots was the only sound.

Behind me someone whispered, "You always knew..."

--Smiling. But she couldn't see...

Two Great Things That Go Great Together

So I am in the process of getting fit. It will make my shooting better. It will increase my odds at surviving The Killer Robot Uprising or Pending Zombie Apocalypse.  So far I am down about 50 pounds and feeling good. Another 50 pounds to go or so.

Anyway, portion control is the biggest part of my efforts. If my portions are smaller they will damn well be better be damn tasty!

I just had the best omelet ever!

The key was the Yancy's Fancy smoked horseradish & bacon infused cheese!
