Automan21k's blog

Auto is posting another blog? I guess that means he bought another gun....

Yes, yes, I have......several actually, none special enough to warrant mentioning, but that is not why I am posting this. 

Oh, then he must have made progress on his books....

Yes, lots of progress, but that's not the reason either.

oh....then, why is Auto posting a blog?  Because he is annoyed....(and apparently because he likes to blog about hinmself in the thrid person because that's what happens when writers start to rely too much on editors)

Again sorry for not keeping up with this, I have been on the insane side of busy lately.

First in the past few months I finished the R770 project, the hunting rifle from my previous blog.

Then I picked up on three more projects....

Honestly I'm still a bit butt hurt over failing to land that farm deal, But the world must go on.

Just as a quick update about me, I've finished building/modding a new hunting rifle and have it landing shots at .5 MOA at 600 yards (for those firearm illiterate in the group, it is really really really accurate.) The wife has me playing Minecraft almost nonstop in our off hours, and yet I have found time for yet ANOTHER hobby....turns out I have the knack for writing childrens books, with my sick sense of humor and severly disturbed mind, who could have guessed!

I know I haven't posted in so long but I had alot going on.  For the past four months the wife and I were in negotiations to buy a farm....yes you read that right, an honest to god, organic, hippy, home grown, have a stand at the local farmer's market kind of farm, I was ready to quit my job and become a farmer, ..after much negotiations a meer week from settlement the entire deal fell through, it hasn't really been easy since the failure was completly my fault, and everyone involved was given extensive information on how and why I failed....not my best day.

I love old westerns, the grimy period clothes, the shoot first and ask questions never sort of wild west justice.  I've always fancied myself a Steve McQueesn wanna-be, and as such, when I watch something like this.....

As I posted in a blog way back in V2, 6 months ago I shot a deer with my .357 revolver. I fierd 3 times, with the only shot that appeared to connect was the last, which dropped the deer almost in its tracks, and I only found one bullet hole while cleaning the deer. Well, Friday I got a call that the hide was finished and ready for pick up. So, off I went.  I paid the guy $65 (after we were done comparing our side arms) and he dug through a pile of hides until he came across mine.  I was very proud of it.

I was off sick for a week, so I came in to worktoday expecting to be behind in the gossip, maybe a little behind in my work, but the one thing I didn't expect to see was walking into the men's room and having to walk around 2 men in their underwear giving themselves sponge baths in the sinks....soap and shampoo all over the place....   I think the worst part of it was that it rreally didn't surprise me.....yeah it disgusted me, but  the fact that it wasn't something I considdered outside of the norm makes it even worse.     I am seriously debating requesting a transfer to another building.

As many of you know, I am an achievement whore.  I’ve been closing in on the 120k mark on my gamer score (just 95pts away at this point).   The game that I chose to put me over the 120k line is Saints Row the Third.   My wife and I have really been enjoying it, so we decided to order the first 2 games in the series since we never played them.  As I looked over the achievements for the first 2 I noticed a trend, the achievements were heavily focused on online play.   Now as many of you also know, I’m not a fan of most multiplayer.  I do enjoy the Call of Duty and Halo, multiplayer until I ge

I have been taking stupid videos and pictures of our cats for years, But today I finally took the plunge and submitted one to IcanhazCheezburger.

another thing I'm trying is the ad enable feature, I never turned this on before because my most popular video is an interview that I just wouldn't feel right trying to profit from. But my cats....yes I will exploit them for potential profit....if it actually earns more that $.05, I'll let you know.
