I really don’t have anything to say today but I am so bored I feel the need to just type. I just placed a couple orders on line for parts Larry needs for his second Saiga 12 which he bought at the last gun show we both attended. Not the last gun show, that one I missed when my foot went all wonky. Not that it matters all that much, I just like being pedantic. Anyhoo, I ordered the parts so he can convert this one like we did with our others. That’s all I'm saying. While on the Mississippi Auto Arms site I noticed they had .308 caliber Saigas in stock again. I can't justify $499.00 plus FFL and shipping right now though. I really want one so I can use that furniture I bought a few months ago though. Feh, I know it is a dumb reason to want it, but there it is. Actually, since these are 16” barrel guns, I can convince myself to hold out a little longer. I really want a 23” barrel on my .308 Saiga. I don’t know, we’ll see. I otter go check with that little gun shop by the church and see of his importer has any .308 Saigas. No, I really shouldn’t do that because if he can get them I'd be tempted to gopher it. I really don’t need to spend that kind of money on something so frivolous. Hells bells, I really otter sell off some of the other frivolous guns in my collection. Seriously, how many 12 gauge shotguns do I need? Ok, so one of them was my grandfather’s so I can't sell it. Then there’s the Saiga. Well, that’s just too damned cool; I “can't” sell it. The Terminator is pretty damned cool too; I guess I “gotta” keep that one as well. Ok, so I guess I “need” all three 12 gauge shotguns after all. All right, what about…? Yeah… ok, I “need” all of them too. I'm not even going to kid myself with making lists. It is the same way with the cars at the shop. As soon as I start thinking about one of them, I can come up with a reason to keep it. Bah, feh, and psh. I think I'm going to go hang out with Larry in the shuttle until lunch… then I'm going to have lunch. I'll pro…ssibly be back later to continue this mindless rant. Don’t hold your breath though. Wait, if I do came back, you’ll see it already as more rant. Hmm. Go ahead and hold your breath then. See if I care. Ok, so I went to lunch with Larry just now. We went to Rosa’s where I had a taco salad. It was tasty. Yes, in fact that was the whole story. I sure hope you weren’t waiting for something interesting to happen. Actually, now that I think about it, I really couldn’t care less if you were waiting for something interesting to happen. So there. Ok, so now I'm killing the next thirty minutes before I head back down to the War Room for birthday cake. No, not my birthday, they throw a birthday shindig every month for the folks with birthdays in that month. Next month I'll be an honoree. Maybe. Actually I'm not sure if I will be on that list. Not that I care, I'll still go for cake. Well, unless it is a carrot cake. I hate carrot cake. Bleh. You know, that would be about right for them to have carrot cake on MY birthday month. Bastards! Ok, next week at this time I'll be in east Texas for that Sevens thing. I really need to do something with the trailer this weekend. I'd love to go ahead and re-deck it with “C” purlins but I don’t see that happening. No, I think we might just slap another layer of plywood on there and let that go for another year or two. Oh shit! I should probably look at getting the license plate renewed on it as well. Damn, I totally forgot about that. Hmm, I guess since I'm flush with cash at the moment I'll swing by the courthouse and do that today or tomorrow… or Monday, or Tuesday, or Wednesday. Sometime before next Thursday for sure. Hmm, come to think of it, The Seven's license might need to be re-upped soon. I probably otter look into that as well. Hmm, I've managed to kill fifteen minutes of the half hour before cake. I think I'm going to call it a rant and go play solitaire for the rest of the time. Have a day.
