I picked up a couple of of Hi-Standard pistols. One is a Supermatic Space Gun and forget the other model. Also picked up a Winchester Model 12. Really need to do some research on all 3, the price seemed right so I don't think I did too bad.

I just bought an immediate post-war Hi-Standard Dura-Matic M100. Got it for just under $200 because the grips are chipped and someone took a wire brush to it at some point, so the finish is fonked, but it's going to be a range plinker and squirrel killer, so I don't care about looks. Otherwise it's fine with a great bore and excellent overall mechanical function. Repro grips are coming in next week thanks to eBay. Always wanted one ever since the original Medal of Honor games back in the late 1990s.

Didn't die, but I sure as hell wanted to with that stone. Once the initial pain is passed (once it drops into your bladder) it's pretty easy going unless it's a spiky son of a beotch and then it'll just rip its way down your urethra. Luckily, mine was calcium-based which meant it dissolved.

That's **edited** mate. Chin up and carry on. Btw is the level of interviewing you had to go through standard where you are? That sounded really intense and unnecessary. |

You okay? Did you die? |

Didn't get the job, still stuck at my depressing job of helping people with their healthcare.
Grandpa ended up in the ICU.
Went to the cardiologist, he said my palpitations are from stress and anxiety. So gym membership here I come. But I am going to my buddies property this weekend to shoot guns and ride my atv. So I've got that going for me, which is nice. |

I've gained like 30 lbs since I've been in Colorado. I blame the cold.
On the plus side, 3 sets of 5 squats at 285# feels pretty cake. I need to do a PR test again, but I'm training on my own, so that's kinda sketchy. I miss powerlifting, but I'm getting some of my old strength back, and that's nice. |

As for the other issues . . . you need to catch a break whale. Wow! (Even if the break is just a step back and away for a day or two to focus on anything unstressful.)

Caught an upper respiratory infection from hell last weekend. Viral, but not the flu. Takes a week or more to get over the worst of it. Suuuuuuucks.
Other than that, we've been enjoying all four seasons in a week here lately. Snow, rain, mud, sunshine and warm temps, freezing rain, more mud, etc. etc. I've got another pheasant hunt lined up for Friday up in PA with a buddy of mine. Looking to take the Savage made A-5 out to draw blood for the first time. Other than that, we're pretty much just staying busy keeping the home fires burning and trying to keep the little man out of trouble. |

I did my taxes myself this year due to the easier tax code. (I used Credit Karma's new free online service). And I had 3 w-2 and 4 1099's... And it handled them like a champ. Ended up paying a lot less due to the small business tax credit which totally saved me! Finally credit for busting my butt for years on end running all these small businesses.
My Dad wants to retire so I told my sister who works for him to take over, and she said she would only do it if I came on board too... So I added another job to my list of jobs. VP of the company, but it is pretty fun. We teach requisite organization which is a common sense, scientific management style for large companies. We also do SST testing (stratified systems theory) for high level job placement testing to determine if people actually have the mental aptitude to do the work involved in the role. My dad is the leading guy in the field since his friend who founded the principles passed away. I can't let my Dad's work disappear, so we are going to grow the business as it will really help solve a lot of business problems once companies start to utilize the system as it focuses on the work involved in each role and determines the needed mental abilities to do those roles, then we can help them get the right people in the right roles, which eliminates so much drama and underlying issues when dialed in properly. So those keeping track. I sell printing, and sold my shares in my ex families company back to my ex father in law. I sell for a branding company stuff like shirts/pens/cups, ect. I have a hand bindery business which is good to help keep me and my kids busy. I have a video production company making videos and editing and delivering DVD's of events. I do wedding photography and videography. My youtube channels, twitter, instagram, and I run a few facebook groups. I do photography and write for paintball media magazine and was featured on the cover last month as one of the top paintball photographers. Lol. And now my dad's company VP. I still need to finish my house, but working 80-100 hours a week for the past 20 weeks has been crazy... I got another BMW, and it was a lemon. 335I M edition, with a hard top convertible. I've literally spent $2,500 in repairs and then the head gasket went so that will be another $800. And it only has 54,000 miles on it... Then my other BMW soft top fuel pump quit. So I called a tow truck and they rolled that one onto the ramp and the guy slipped and HIT my 335 with the door of my 325. $3,000 worth of damage... It is in the shop now. Ugh. I need another Acura. Way less drama and issues. My daughter is still driving my old MDX with 250,000 miles, and my youngest daughter has my TSX which has 309,000 now, both run great. Crazy to hear how you guys are moving all over the place! I'm still in the same town since 1994. Lol.

I lost faith in humanity a while ago
So far passed the personality test, aptitude test, online interview (you audio/video record your answers to the dozen or so questions, which they view later). Today was a nearly 3 hour long scenario interview, in which you have 30 minutes to learn how to be an adjuster for a fictitious company. Then go through dealing with customers and interviewing them, dealing with repair shops and negotiating their price etc, and well as using a map and planning out which sites to visit first, how much time you'll have etc. Got a call a few hours after that, and said they want me to come in for a traditional face2face interview on Thursday. And from what I've read this pretty much means the cat is in the bag. Pending a hair follicle drug test and background check. |

A noble vocation! If you still jave any trust or faith in humanity then id chip away at that before you start. Im in motor injury fraud and lets say I've developed a habit of eyeballing EVERYONE with a proposition or just sonething to tell me. |
