I wonder if I should feel guilty. See, yesterday after work, Larry and I went to Blood Bath & Beyond. I was looking for a .308 Saiga and he wanted to check out the Saiga 12s. Well, while we were looking at the 12s, there were no .308s by the way, he kept hemming and hawing about it. I had no idea he was thinking about buying one then and there. I just kept giving him the old, “I’m just saying...” shrug when he’d look at me for advice. I never told him he should or shouldn't buy it. I did point out the same thing the sales dude said to me, “You sure are going to kick yourself when these are $900.00... or unavailable, next month.” By the way, they were still $749.00 and $799.00 depending on the sight rail. Just like when I bought mine. Finally he decided he would gopher it and went back out to the van for his money. While he was away, I picked it up and realized just how bad the trigger on my gun is. I'm not too happy about it but what are you going to do? I suppose I could take it to a gunsmith and see if he can do anything with it... but I won't. But I digress. So when he’d filled out the paperwork and was approved by the BATFE for the purchase, we looked around for other things he might need. I found an Uplula magazine loader, greatest tool ever, and handed it to him. He had read about, and was wondering if I knew anything about them. “Greatest. Tool. Ever.” I told him. Hell, I would have bought it for him if he’d hesitated. It is that good. We looked at magazines and stocks and fore ends and stuff and things and stuff until he finally said he was ready to go. He paid and I offered to drive the thing home for him since he was... well, I don't want to say why just in case someone might be reading this. Yeah, I know no one reads this, but still. I'll risk my ass with frivolous statements, but not someone else’s. At least not intentionally. Anyhoo, we decide to go to Taco Casa for dinner. I try to control my eating but wind up having too much food nonetheless. I'm weak. Well, I've got to go to a meeting about the renovation of the meeting rooms. I'll probably be back after while to chat some more later. We’ll see. Yeah, I've got nothing more to add. Talk to y'all Monday.
