All smiles

Much better today the back popped back in and the swellings gone down a bit did my stretches and can almost walk like a normal person woo hoo. One more tough week at work and I can almost see the light. Hopefully soon I can dust the kayak off put on some warm clothes and see whats biting. Wish me luck.

all smiles today

Pain in the.....

I'm in a miserable mood today for no good dam reason except pain. It all started on Friday when I hobbled my ass to work on a already swollen right ankle that's been killing me for a year with chronic tendinitis and then proceed to climb up and down a 6 foot ladder for 8 hours I know wa wah wah suck it up butter cup. However I'm used to that the real pain came when I switch to an 8 foot ladder to change a ballast on an old light and climbed down said ladder and step off as if I was on the six footer. For those that don't follow that makes me roughly two feet from the concrete floor which for some might be fine but for my hobbled ass was lets say ouch! I know laugh away but I'm sure if you have worked around ladders at all at the end of a day in a rush you have done this before. Of course first reaction is to look around and see if anyone noticed  my stupidity which no one did, then was to try and walk it off, knee twisted, ankle throbbing and back starting to immediately assume the s curve. Yeah FML. Thankfully it was time to go home and lick my wounds which I did with a Epsom salt bath and some Advil. Saturday started with cleaning out the rest of the junk from my mothers old house its amazing how much shit builds up in a little amount of time so it was more heavy lifting and limping around. By the time all was finish I rushed home showered and headed off to see Larry the Cable Guy in concert at the Myerhoff . We parked at my work and walked the half mile to a restaurant across the street ate over priced Mexican food and drank expensive beers laughed our asses off and then walked back which in a long winded version to this morning when I woke up and tried to get to the bath room. I don't know if it was the numbness or the pain that made it harder to move I feel like I been hit by a truck. Fuck this getting older shit I ain't even forty yet . I am starting to regret all the I ain't skeered moments in my life you know the one that end up with stitches or a cast or just sucking it up because going to the hospital might tip off the cops that it was you driving that car  motorcycle golf cart. The beer doesn't even knock the edge off anymore and I hate pain killer so I guess I better just get used to it. I am assuming that's why they say growing old ain't for sissies. See there I feel a little better already but lunch is over and I wont be getting off until 11 so I'm sure it wont last.

Not listening

As I said in an earlier post about legislators not listening apparently one of ours was playing chess instead. Senator Jamie Raskin Montgomery county way to go scumbag.

Football and Firearms

Skipped out of work for a bit and joined the party in Baltimore on Tuesday. Don't think I have ever seen that many people in 1 place in my life. Don't think I would have come if I wasn't already 5 blocks away, being I'm not much for crowds but it was most festive.

Unfortunately I had to miss a much more important rally in Annapolis for gun rights from what I heard about 3000 pro gun people showed up to testify and they ended up closing down the building for the first time in 11 years.

 

Wish I could have been there but I don't work 5 blocks from there.

I don't think it will do anygood though our liberal legislature don't listen to the people they just do what they want as our wonderful Governor jockeys himself for a presidential run in 2016 if you think Obama's bad let this squinty eyed bastard O'Malley get in the door .

 

alll yeahhhh!

Say what ya want but nfl football is one of my hang ups and the ravens won doing it the hard way . GO RAVENS  super bowl champs

One of my favorite blog reads

From the man who gave us chipmunk wars and a book club for men now chicken nipples never thought I would ever use that phrase on my blog check out the adaptive curmudgeon and laugh along.

Its been awhile, can I still play with guns

Its been awhile since I posted anything. I haven't been away just lurking around everyone blogs working and watching my favorite football team make it to the Superbowl. I know alot has been going on in the gun world and even if I had been hiding my trip to Bass Pro to pick up some 30-06 ammo would have tip me off something was up. Luckily they had two boxes of Remington 180 grains bullets left but I would have been out of luck if I needed 45 or 40 cal. or any other handgun load and you can forget about 5.56/223. Haven't felt like writing lately I have a lot on my mind just cant seem to put it into words and it seems every gun blogger and there mother has pretty much written whats been on my minds so my 2cents surely haven't been missed. But what I will write a little about is my favorite outdoor show being canceled it seems some bloody Brit company that runs the show thought they would keep it all family like and ban those evil black guns (story here) and  we would all show up and be happy for it. Like the story says I think there out of touch with American outdoors man a bit. So now the show is canceled and I will have to plan something else for Saturday maybe Ill go shooting or shop at Cabelas or something like that. Now don't get me wrong I have had lets say conversation with some uneducated outdoors man who swear I'm crazy cause you don't need no assault rifle to hunt wit. And when I try to explain that the second amendment isn't about hunting ( blank stares) there wasn't much more I could say. As far as people being out of touch with America I don't blame the Brits because an ocean lies between them and us yet they still want us unarmed kind of like married people want everyone else to marry ( cause if I miserable you should be to). However it amazes me how out of touch the people who live in the bubbles of the big city's I live around and all the knuckle heads in DC (dysfunctional city) are disconnected with what IMHO the rest of America is like. There are some who have actually listened to me rant and learned something my accountant at work now knows an AR15 is not an high power assault rifle but just a rifle and when I showed her pictures of a mini 14 ranch rifle and tactical one she was amazed how a law could possibly ban one of the exact same rifle because of the stock. Her words were "that doesn't make any sense". Yup that's what I been trying to tell ya. I offered for my wife and I to take them shooting she said if she can sway the hubby it would be on. I love it when I win one over and here I was all about ready to quit trying. I still don't understand how some gun owners I know are willing to give up  some of there rights and think they wont eventually come for there fudd gun they still drink the if it saves just one life kool aid or how can you possibly win against the gov even with an AR they got tanks.Well lets hope it never comes to that but why let someone take away your rights period if we stop them now will may never have to find out. Why why why do people actually think banning something makes it go away i.e. drugs, alcohol and prostitution we see how they all have been working out. Guns ain't going anywhere law or not period. Well thats my rant so until next time Go Ravens
