Well mark your calenders people, today will be a day  to live on in infamy, or infermary if I screw up ..........................I fired my first shot on American soil today, how wierd is that !.

 And how freaky is it that it happend on Halloween and the day before our 6th   yes that right SIXTH wedding anniversary. Tomorrow I guess ill be ordering a couple of magazines from Marlin for the rifle so it makes shooting at the target  that i've yet to buy easier.

Speaking of the rifle, if your reading this KO  THANKYOU !

Yes it's official........................ I now am the proud owner of a .22 rifle. a cleaning kit and a "brick" of  bullets  if in fact that is the right turm for them, let's face it I know nothing APART from make sure it's empty before cleaning it a fact alot of darwin award winners forget.

 And so the madness starts because now that I have one I need MORE lots more ;)

 Next step on that quest is to get my C&R license  which basically allows me to buy and have shipped to me OLD, usually anything pre 1945 ( I think ) firearms, why you wonder would I need said license .............. ? 

 Well I would like a Russian designed rifle the one used in the film "Enemy at the Gates" by Jude Law it's a Mosin-Nagant (Russian: Винтовка Мосина) which was the standard russian rifle of WW2 and was made all over the old soviet block, again your asking yourself why? to be honest I have no idea apart from teh fact I was told about it as beeing a good learner rifle for larger caliber than .22  cheap to buy ( a HUGE factor )  and ammunition is readily available.

 well thats enough about gun's

well another day another shift alone   makes you wonder how people can afford to take as many sick days as some seem to get

 Hopefully today my wife will bring home my new( to me ) rifle  its a .22 or 22 as they call them here  but whats in a name ............ now ill be even more American.

 Seening as its our anniversary soon  im apparently that sad that im getting merlins magic  for my gift :)

no idea what to get the wife yet though, thinking of getting a USB drive dodah nor sure ..........

oh well  till next time same bat time, same bat channel ...........

Well, today was the wifes works halloween party at work and she made off like a bandit :)  second in the costume contest  as Ghost Rider   and first in the carved pumpkin contest :)

 I basically slept all day  but still got another 5 dvd's backed up so eventually the originals will be in a box in teh basement and the back ups will be the ones that we watch. So far the collection is at about 1500 disc's which is not too shabby.

 well off to watch buffy season 7 then they can get all filed away in the case. and then get ready for another night shift at work, hopefully I wont be on my yodd tonight and ill have a cashier so I can get some of the store room sorted out a little.

 on teh bright side as the wife if not riding tomorrow ill have the car so ill have TUNES to listen too on the way there. :)

Well this is how I can stay in touch with all the great people ive met through the chat feature of  the hirst arts forum that I met via our shared interest in Hirst arts

 They have to be the best, most helpfull ( and in pab and phrancs case ) the most scarey people one could ever hope to meet. Always ready with advice a joke and a shoulder to lean on when you need one.

 I really can't say enough  about the chat crew  the really helped me way more than I ever desurved  THANKYOU

 well thats a start .........................
