I'm not sure that pink is your color. I say give a summery light blue a try.

I discovered last weekend that dudes got shafted in our clothes-comfort coefficient value:


The girls were having a clothes exchange, I thought it would be funny....I swear!

Today: Gotta drive up to Cleveland to play a gig with this country band. (Old country, I should mention. Chick singer. Fun times.)

I'll be glad when school starts. Maybe it will curtail the shenanigans that have been going on since June.

Scheduled a new car test drive for tomorrow: Fiesta ST and Focus ST.  Leaning towards the Fiesta for commuting fuel economy and small car tomfoolery, but the Focus because, just maybe, I will need the extra interior room.

My most difficult decision is $1200 Kawasaki or try to find a Sportster for a decent price.

We already started back last week. Not students, but faculty and staff. Students start next Tuesday officially and this Thursday as far as orientations go.

A fact I am not really looking forward to here. My nice, cushy two and a half months is about to be suddenly and painfully disrupted almost overnight.
I think some of our guys are already counting down the days until the first break.

(well, yesterday). 

Pistol Pete did some 3d printing for me on my TCR, so I'm trying to find a shroud I like for it... 
pic of it with the Stryker MP2 Elite shroud on it for giggles.

I sold a ZoomCam system to another paintballer looking for more views on youtube. 

My biggest video is now over 1,500,000 views. and My channels are closing in on 4 million views with 28,000 subs. (I'm an official "youtuber" now. checks and all). 

Put in 3 rows of tile in my new master bath closet area. Knee was hurting so bad I had to quit for the day to ice it... Getting old sucks. 

Got in my new TV for the master bath, need to run wires for it today as well. Trying to decide if I want to run a HDMI to the bedroom so I can steal that signal from my satellite box and not pay for another box per month... I think I will...
They tremble at my name...

Well, in all fairness, you'd need the Packers to get shut-out as well for the WHOLE city to burn....

Pretty much, it's depressing. I still keep checking the job search engines, waiting for something better to come along. (Job market is pretty thin where I live)

I was going to buy a 18" barrel for my 870, then thought about buying a mag extension. But for a few hundred more I could buy an entire shotgun with all the crap I wanted on it (used). Then I started looking at semis. Been looking at the Mossberg 930, Beretta 1301 and Benelli M2/M4.

Just bought myself a Remington shell-latch staking tool. The 878 that I bought had NEVER been cleaned, which means the stakes deteriorated on the shell latches over the past 49 years or so. Need to re-stake them so I can put the fire-control group back in. Sucks as I was really hoping to get it to the range this weekend. I might be able to jimmy them back in without the tool for a one-time fix since they're held in place by the trigger group pin, but once I take it apart to clean it again, it'll come apart without being staked in.

Ah, so rather than take a serious look at how to broaden the customer base proactively, they've decided to go the tried and true route to failure which is "raise prices, badger our remaining old stock of customers, and grab every last penny on the way out the door."

If they had been smarter, they would have taken a look at reaching out to the younger professional segment with options that mimic "blue apron" and the like.

Since I started 14 months ago (I now have the most seniority in that depot, including my boss), we have gone through 9 drivers. They downsized the warehouse staff. Managed to make the 1 remaining warehouse guy who did his job very well (worked there for 5 years), quit.  The company itself is downsizing across the country. They are making hailmary passes in attempt to correct the course we're on. Such as raising the delivery fee nearly double, in attempts to make more people pre-order (cheaper if they pre-order). Which not surprisingly resulted in less buying customers. And the most important figure to take into consideration, our company lost 20% in revenue from the previous fiscal year.
