Good times with GIANT tools

Just got back from a trip to my Dad's place. We hit a Tool Town in Branson. Oh man the fun that was had in that place. Look what we found:

Need a friggin' monkey wrench? We have friggin' monkey wrenches!


Need ginormous screwdrivers? We have ginormous screwdrivers(and prybars)


Crescent wrench not big enough, try these!


I bought a Hachet/Hammer/Prybar thing for $4. :P

My new big boy toy :)

I have treated myself toy. M1A Socom 16. Firing a .308 cal round, the accuracy... simply amazing for such a short barrel. I was pounding anything I put my sights on at 75 yards. I am anxious to see what I can do at greater distances. The recoil is not sharp at all... The gas chamber is robust and takes care of that.

To put it simply... I have fallen in love with this rifle already.

The second rifle in the photo is my M91/30 Mosin Nagant (1939).

:) very :)

My Steam Powered Life

After approaching with caution a fews years ago... I have come to a conclusion about Steam, Valve's digital content delivery system.

Here are a few things to consider about Steam:

• No copy protection jokes, think back to StarForce and you'll understand the appeal
• No disc to worry about losing
• Reinstalling your games, minus savegames, after an OS reload... is cake(not a lie)
• Great discounts on popular games
• Large publishers as well as Indie games are available
• Free games at times!
• Games auto patch if you so desire
• Nicely laid out friend list that is accessible INGAME, and isn't annoying!
• Achievements to unlock, many fun to obtain(not with every game)
  

I am currently enjoying Assassin's Creed and Half Life 2: Episode 2(both Steam delivered) , and wishing that I would have gotten Call of Duty through Steam...

One negative is that you can't sell your used games anymore... however, with serials and registering methods being used now, it was becoming a fading option anyway.

Go get it and hit me up, as my SteamID is obvious....

Steam Powered

4:36am St. Louis - Earthquake

Kim and I were awakened this morning to the doors in our house rattling and the house shaking. Small but definately there. I haven't felt one that large. Spooky.

CNN LINK

People nearly 900 miles away felt a magnitude-5.2 earthquake that shook southern Illinois early Friday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

O,o

EDIT 10:16 AM - It just happened again
