- Naah, but at this rate I'll likely blow my hand off. I recovered the
- bullet from my workbench this morning - it had turned over and driven
- a #8 finish nail quite a bit deeper into the bench. The bullet was
- pretty mangled.
-
- I fired the rifle this afternoon at the range, and all functioned
- properly (including the ammo loaded yesterday). I was mildly
- surprised that my left over karma from this year didn't have me killed.
-
- Peeve: I've been on vacation for a couple of weeks now, and I'm still
- handling technical requests in email.
-
- Peeve': That I do this to myself. I rationalize that no one else
- could answer the questions, and that customers aren't patient enough
- to wait a couple of weeks; I feel bad anyway.
-
- Peeve'additional: people that write "no one" as "noone". I wish there
- was a way to reach out through the net to strangle them.
