New Gun Laws

New gun laws are on the way.

Makes me want to move to Vegas, taking my guns and tax dollars with me.

Family was already contemplating such, the last holdout, my mother, will probably not take too much to convince.

In other news:

Cracked the plastic receiver for my SU-16CA. Need to mail it back to Kel-Tec for repair.

Downhill

I'm 25 now.

I'm old.

It's all downhill from here.


Actually, probably more like "uphill, in the snow, both ways."

I doubt it's going to be any easier. But maybe it'll be more fun?



Actually, I doubt that too. Life is always more fun as a kid, everything being new and exciting.

But doesn't mean I can't give it a shot, to do what I can to make my life more meaningful.

In fact, I'm getting myself laser eye surgery, so I can see through what remains of my life with clear eyes after muddling through it for so long.


But first I need to make it through 3 weeks without contacts using a pair of eyeglasses 4-5 years out of prescription...

Working lots

Back from Taiwan. Managed to get a few games of Catan going towards the end.

I think it went over well.

Came home to find a stack of paperwork and miscellaneous things to be done.

Did some ghetto gunsmithing.

Almost 25. Got myself a watch for making it this far. Another Seiko.

Girlfriend had a figurine of my cat self printed in 3D. Also said she hid stuff in my room.
I'll run across it eventually, methinks.

Back to work now.

Taiwan is best with mosquito net

Back in the mother country. One of my cousins was thoughtful enough to prepare a pop up mosquito net tent for me.

It's brill. Ain't have a bite yet.

Been eatin' a lot. Spending time with my grand mother.

Went to see a big waterfall yesterday. Also had an air raid drill yesterday. That was interesting. No cars allowed on the streets. Basically, the city came to a stop for a half hour.

No argument with the GF this trip. Yet.

Got a bunch of stuff online for the PTR. Setting it up as a 16inch DMR. Still looking for a way to carry magazines for it. Looking for a bandoleer type system where it's easy to take off and go prone due to DMR type setup. Hard to access mags on a chest rig when prone.

Still need a scope and chest rigs for tw WASR and AR. Probably a Beez for the first and a 5.11 TacTec for the latter.

Still, gonna need ammo for the PTR or this is all going to be for naught.

Found a bit of ammo, but no 308.

Found me a brick of .22, finally, but it was $40. Crazy.

Not a whiff of .308 to be found though.

Outfitting new guns is hard. Want Tritium sights for WASR and bunch of stuff for PTR(as configured, kinda unusable). Not easy to find, or cheap to get a hold of. Need to make 10rd mags out of some 20rd rebuilds, as 10 rounders are hard to find for PTR, yet, 20rd rebuilds are plentiful and cheap.

I leave for Taiwan again this Thursday. Need to prepare Konni(D7000), as grandma wants photos.

Lots to do before I leave though, kinda annoying. Will be working late-ish tonight.
