It was nice meeting with everyone. I have a ton of stuff to go over and a boatload of pictures to rassle out of the camera.

It was wonderful reconnecting with my Indy blog friends, and meeting new ones.

A BIG thank you to Old NFO for his shindig. Sorry you left before I could say goodbye last night, and that we missed you on Sunday before we had to hit the road…(we went to Room 120 several times, but you weren’t there when we were).

In talking a with a bunch of the staff at the convention, it was clear that they were impressed by the crowd. The cops said that they were bored, as NOTHING happened…The folks serving drinks and food said that they weren’t used to people being polite and saying “Please” and “Thank You” and the people responsible for policing wayward trash hadn’t done much policing all weekend because “one of y’all will likely pick up stuff and put it in the can before we get to it”.

I was kinda proud of my tribe there….

More later, I gotta work…

SO Friday was the day I had planned to spend at the NRA show, and that is what we did.

Saturday was the famous “All you can eat and carry”… “get ’em while they last”… “One day only” shooters blowout class by Ambulance Driver hisself. I had my training refreshed, and learned a bit and was entertained. My thanks to Kelly Grayson and to TOTWTYTR for their class

Then,  lunch with friends and then a walk around Broadripple with Karl Ushanka and the lovely Mrs. Ushanka while I was accompanied by Midwest Chick.

Then Old NFO‘s blogmeet extraordinaire.Not sure what it cost him, but the beer and drinks flowed and the food was awesome.

If you weren’t there for all of these then you really really missed out.

I’ll try to do an AAR  for each later.

Outa time

I’ll be in Kelly Grayson’s class.

Then more NRA and then Old NFO’s big blowout.

Day one was a blast. Saw a bunch, met some people. Some I liked, some I didn’t.

Rode with Midwest Chick as she took some folks on a whirlwind tour of the lesser seen parts of greater downtown Indy….

Maybe more as I get a chance.

Am at the NRA shindig. Maybe more later.

Or something like that.

Barry isn’t kidding this time. 

He means it.

Seriously.

THis time he’s real.

Guaranteed.

For sure.

Seriously.

“I like vegetarians….Almost everything I eat is a vegetarian”.

Yep.

Does water ever run across it, or pond in a low spot when it rains heavily?

Is there ever a “seasonal stream” when the snow melts? When heavy fall rains happen?

Does a stream, creek, or other waterway ever overflow onto any portion of your land?

Does it ever rain on your land enough that the water runs off into a stream or creek or other body of water?

Then you don’t own your land.  Seriously

Well, you may hold title to it, but the EPA controls it, so they actually own it….If they have their way.

Call your senators.  Congressmen. Tell ’em to stop this.

And oil up your boomsticks.

Yer likely gonna need ’em.

As pointed out to me by Opie:

Georgia passes a true Common Sense concealed carry bill. 

Now if only the rest of the country’s state  lawmakers could wake up and smell the bullshit, we could all enjoy this sort of freedom.

But I hadn’t realized that they are so easily gotten to.

How to stop an MRAP. 

Normal truck brakes.

I actually stopped and looked at one the other day, just to check. The police were VERY happy to show it off.

Now you know. I would imagine anything comparable to a .308 or .30-30 would do. A 55 grain 5.56-45 might not, at least not in one shot. But a heavier bullet should.

Now you have a disabled and non-mobile Mrap.

How things progress from there is up to you.

All knowledge is useful at some point.

No, he ain’t in jail or anything.
