Do I look like a bimbo to you?
I hate stores that have chromosomal issues. Just because I don’t have dangly bits, doesn’t mean there isn’t green paper in my wallet.
I have a 1911 and after next Saturday, my paperwork will be in for my CCW permit.
So I’ve been thinking about adding a 9mm to the collection. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE my 1911. But, I also love wearing retro style t-shirts and the .45 will stick out like a sore thumb. Not to mention the cost per box of .45 ammo.
Since we were up camping in Prescott this weekend, we thought we’d stop by J&G Gun Sales. Not to necessarily buy a gun, but Haltse was after some .45 magazines and a .22 conversion kit for the .45. I happened to notice one of these. Actually they had some from the 39, 59 and 69 model lines.
Of course I hadn’t seen one of them before so I want to see how it fits. (I have a hard time finding guns that fit comfortably in my hand.) So I wait. And wait. And wait. I’m told that someone will be with me in a moment. And I wait some more. As people leave, so do the sales people.
Once everyone has been helped, I’m still waiting. A guy comes in from outside and is helped immediately.
Finely a large bald guy comes over and asks if I need assistance. He’s obviously annoyed to begin with. I explain that I already have a large carry gun and I’m looking for a smaller 9mm without a composite body. I state that I notice that they have several different model numbers on the same basic build and if he can tell me the difference between them, if one is better than the other.
The answer was less than heartening. Grip changes, sites. “That’s all that’s different?” I ask. I know a tiny bit about how S&W changes their models. The last 2 numbers would change from small things like sights and finishes. The first two usually signify a major change.
I ask to see the 6904(blued finish) they had with the ambi-dexterous safety. This is on the middle shelf and on the end. He goes for one of the 6906’s(stainless finish) they had. I keep saying no, on the middle shelf. He finally grabs the right one. Oh, I thought you were looking at one of the silver ones.
Silver ones.
SILVER ONES!!??!?!
Do I look like a run of the mill female to you? Seriously?
This isn’t the first time it’s happened either. Every time I’ve either been at their shop, or gone to their booth at the gun show, it’s the same thing. Penis’ first. Boobs second. If I stand behind Hal and he gets their attention first, then there are no issues, but Spaghetti Monster help me if I’m up there by myself.
To bad more than half my guns came from them. my makarov(my first hand gun), my sks and my mosin m91 are all from JG. Haltse didn’t buy his .22 conversion because of it and we probably won’t be stopping in their store or at their gun show stand again.

I was wondering why the world was a little less funny this morning.
I don’t believe in an afterlife, but the idea of him giggling his ass off at the world going to shit makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Can I finally lose some weight?
Let’s be frank for a moment. I’m fat.
Sitting on my ass for 3 months recovering from a motorcycle accident, drinking starbucks every morning and eating fast food because I couldn’t stand up long enough to cook (lame excuse) did not helped my waistline.
I’m finally doing it properly. I start my weight-loss plan at Core next Friday. Their system uses a dietitian along with finding your base metabolism level and a personal trainer.
To make things more fun, when you start the program, you roll a dice and after 90 days, however many ‘fat-pounds’ you have lost, they multiply it against your dice roll and cut you a check. 
Goody me. I rolled a 6 so I’m shooting for 50lbs. That would pay for a wii, right?
Zenni Optical - Finally decent affordable glasses.
There is only one thing I hate worse than being bilked $200 for good glasses. And that’s losing said glasses.
That’s where Zenni Optical comes in. I was turned onto this place by a co-worker, and placed an order for these in silver. I went with the memory titanium because, well, Dobie’s first response when grabbing my glasses is to pull them horizontally. They are nicely flexable and should handle his abuse.
With shipping, they came to just over $25. I know this is no excuse for not keeping better track of my specs. But at least it’s not a massive chunk out of my wallet.
Oh and they do prescription goggles as well. I’ll be picking up a set for use on my bike and the range.

Rather than bothering with calling Helio again, I called the AT&T porting department. Wonderful, wonderful person answered that offered to call Helio for me. Five minutes later she’s back and informs me that helio gave them the release code over the phone, and viola!
Now I have to call LetsTalk and get them to ship it.
