So I'm helping this group get set up this morning, right?  When I'm done, I got to leave and see a lady talking to some of the folks outside the room.  When I hear them telling her that TOB B is a room at the front of the building, I step in… because it isn’t.  It is, in fact, one of the rooms I was just setting up for them.  I offer to take her to talk to an admin about her situation.  She says that someone else has her paperwork and we search him out.  When she has her printout in hand, I ask, “Are you sure it is today?”  She shows me the paper and says, “Yes, look.  ‘Wednesday March 20’!”  I try to not smile condescendingly when I say, “Um, today is February 20.”  Needles to say, she was quite embarrassed to be here a month early.  I showed her the room she will be in next month and she snuck out the door.  So that was how MY day started.  After that, I hopped on the shuttle with Larry and he drove me back to this side of the street.  We discussed guns, as we are wont to do, and he convinced me that I otter go ahead and get a Kushnapup kit for my Saiga 12.  “But mine’s already been converted,” I whined.  “So?” he countered.  “Put the Russian remote trigger back in when you install the kit.”  It was a stroke of genius!  We discussed the fact that it would also allow it to be “convertible” between a Bullpup and regular gun with just a few hours’ work.  I decided I would do it once I got paid again and could afford to buy a kit.  Then I made a potentially disastrous discovery.  The PayPal MasterCard I thought was maxed out still has a couple thousand dollars of credit available.  I went to the Kushnapup site and had another look at them.  I saw that they took PayPal so I tried to order a kit.  Yeah, the PayPal option appears to be a tease.  The “button” didn’t do anything and I don’t have the card on me.  So, I'm going to order at least one kit this evening when I get home.  “Hey Tim,” I hear someone saying.  “Why do you say ‘at least one’?”  Well, “in for a penny, in for a pound.”  If I'm going to burn up $275.00 in credit, why not gopher it and use up $550.00 to buy a kit for the 7.62x39 as well?  I could go into the bullshit argument that “it’ll save on shipping,” but I won't.  I will go ahead and say up front that I acknowledge that I am dumb for doing this.  You don’t need to remind me… but c’mon, a Kushnapup 12 gauge and 7.62x39 will be so friggin’ awesome!  I'll be the coolest kid on the block then, fo shizzle!
