Spiff, thanks for the reminder, I hate doin taxes. Gotta get em done.
Got mine done :thumbsup: got the refund back :woohoo: spent it, broke again :cry:
 
Yeah, I probably also need to do my state taxes tonight. Or continue to procrastinate, and do them Saturday night while I wait for 'Eureka Seven' to come on. :dunno: Federal got done in January, since I could e-file for free. Turbotax had me getting back $11 from NC, but wanted to charge $27 to file; the place I tried that the state recommended that both Canti and I qualified for free state filing had me owing $20. So paper forms it is. I just got around to printing them off yesterday (had to search around for a printer that would print the small print legibly, and would print the grey circles and lines where info actually goes), and was too tired to whip out the W-2's, pull up the federal forms, and grab a calculator. I really hope they abolish the state income tax, and it'd be really nice if it went into effect retroactively this year. Federal's enough of a PITA, state really sucks.

Next year check out Taxslayer.com
I've used them for years. My son turned me on to them. They will do active duty military for free.
That's one reason I use them.
 
Re: Piss Ants

Not sure, but I think it refers to a faint smell they emit when annoyed big time or crushed between fingers. Could also be that they aggravate the piss out of you when they get into your food that's left out, along with the counter tops. They will go unbelievable distances overnight to get at a few drops of water left in a drinking glass in arid country.
We have a couple of sticks of chalk from China which we use to draw a barrier around where they're coming in. It contains some kind of poison, and really works great, even with the large brown sugar ants.
 
Tax Slayer wanted to charge me for state, but Canti would've been free. They might change the rules next year, so I'll keep an eye on them.

OK, so, I took the AK out with the Aimpoint Pro.

I had Frog LUbed the AK up early and it shot like a smooth piece of heaven.
I have more ARs than AKs but never underestimate an AK. Especially out to 300 yards.

I was super surprised at the little groups I was getting. The Aimpoint PRO is phenomenol. Not a magnified sight but where ever that little dot is, man it works.

My shots were very low.
I dialed the sight in and took a break to take pics for my NCGO family.

Then I continued,
After all my shots were in the black (1"center), I pulled the Aimpoint off and dialed in the irons a bit.
It was more like I was having fun blasting away like a yahoo wacky Iraqi or something, just having fun.
I was determined to not bring any ammo back to the homefront.

Not a single malfunction :thumbsup:
Like I said, don't underestimate a good AK. It is great fun to shoot.
It will put hole between your nipples also so stay away from evil people.
They are simple to operate so if you ever get a chance, shoot one.
Never know when you'll need to pick one up, in a pinch. Hopefully Never.
We as law abiding citizens and legal responsible gun owners know though, never say never.
After all that excitement, I need a nap!
Stay safe my friends :) Peace be with you.

Enjoying my first cup of coffee in three days. I'm finally feeling a little normal after dealing with what seemed like the worst cold I have ever had. Well, I think it was a cold. I know a few times there I was dealing with a slight fever.

I'm showered, shaved and dressed. Shades are open and sunlight is coming into the house. My daughter has a half-day of school today, so when she gets home this afternoon I might show her how to reload some .45ACP.

Glad you are feeling better :)
 
Work for me today.

Taking a vacation day tomorrow, since we used to get it off but they stopped that this year.

Bowling league tonight though, last night of it after 30 weeks.
 
Gunny - on a couple of my bicycling forums, we have a "Whatcha Doing" thread....pages & pages.
984 pages at one place (I'm optimized for more posts/page too, 39352 posts as of this morning)
158 pages at another, but it's Edition 5, meaning something went wonky and the thread became corrupted and new one started...

You started a good one. :)

I had to pay for state but was still cheaper than paying someone to do it.

Well before she left the wife was going to leave me a honey do list, but to borrow from another thread (you know your getting old) she forgot what she was going to put on the list.
I'm free......till she gets back :popcorn:

I wish people wouldn't stare so.
I'll be glad when I finally get my CHP.

And a funny from this morning...the smell of FrogLube wafted over the cube walls...
Or so I thought...the trainee working with us hurt his hamstring yesterday and had applied Bengay..:).
 
Well I went to town this morning to get some bar soap to make more laundry soap was going by the Hospital and I see JB working on the chopper pad so I stop and shoot the shit till his boss walks up so I split don't want to get him into trouble.
I go by Gallery of Guns to see if anything coming in, a few pistols but that's about it I did get some 12 ga shells 6 and 7 1/2 shot now its home and I may reload more 9mm and 45s the winds still bad here so I will wait to shoot a few more days.
