Strange posting ahead warning

Picking up an extra shift – that isn’t bad until you realize they are 12 hour shifts – truncated weekend – then that turns into a long week. Got some stuff sitting in drafts but won’t have a lot of time for any reviews per say. Will just have to see what I can get done today . . .

And how was YOUR Turkey Day?? -Ours was pretty good . . .

Over Night Turkey . . .

Broccoli Cheesy Rice . . .

Bacon / Cornbread Dressing Casserole . . .

I want to get the recipe stuff posted for you folks but that isn’t going to happen this week – but what the Hell – there are 364 days to go till Thanksgiving . . .

And since I don’t have enough stuff piled up – the only way I can tell what will and won’t work on a modified sine wave inverter . . .

Some stuff will work – and some stuff won’t – pure sine wave inverter and a few more solar panels and some more batteries are also going to land in the to do pile shortly – it will be interesting to see the differences in the inverters and the differences between sealed lead acid vs lithium – snooping around trying to find a deal on a 12 volt compressor fridge as well . . .

Life ain’t bad – but this day to day shit will wear you out – just saying . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Now I’ve got to start wrapping . . .

One box from Cutlery Corner which I forgot to take a teaser pic of . . .

And one from Smoky Mountain via FedEx . . .

Plumb full of “stuff” . . .

And one more from Smoky Mountain coming – then I have to get busy wrapping – only have about 40 little finicky packages to wrap . . .

Don’t forget – only 364 days to Thanksgiving!!

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Friday Music / Whiplash Edition

Got about 20 different songs that have been playing in the background all week – the truly bad part? Most of them have been playing at the same time . . .

All I can say is hang on for the ride . . .

The real bitch about songs playing in the background in your head? It’s when the videos that are stuck in there with some of the songs won’t stop pestering you . . .

See what I mean??

Here we go – hang on . . .

And a little bonus for YOU!

John – no judgement here – but how did you know what your buddy Jim Bass sings in the shower??

The turkey day food induced coma is about to win . . .

And from an incredible album . . .

What becomes difficult is when a “cover” and the original release start plying at the same time . . .

If you can listen to these next two and NOT “see” the videos with them – then you need to go see your doctor and get your meds adjusted – just saying . . .

In all honesty there are many more rolling around in my head but I’ll stop here here for YOUR sake – something about collective sanity or something . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

But I ain’t never seen no elephant fly . . .

On top of all the normal hoopla of day to day bullshit – I scour the web trying to find “stuff” for you folks to ponder upon – then try to put a snarky comment or two to go with with it – and shazzam – click on the publish button and away we go . . .

However – sometimes I run across things that pretty much defy comment . . .

I admit that I am at a loss on this one . . .

Anything I could say would pale next to the firearm – especially if it was in bright light . . .

That Ugly “P” Word. Again.

In many of my firearm posts I stress Practice – Practice – Practice – Hence the reference to “That Ugly “P” Word” . . .

I want you folks to watch this video and pay particular attention starting at about the 1:18 mark – the officer has shot his pistol dry – slide is locked back – and he is attempting to strip the empty magazine out of his pistol – you have to press the magazine release to release the magazine – which he fails to do . . .

One More Time – PRACTICE!

You can do it simply enough – First NO AMMO IN THE ROOM! – empty pistol with the slide locked back – empty magazine in the pistol – pistol held in shooting grip – now release the magazine – you may have to alter your shooting grip to engage the magazine release – you may have to strip the magazine out with your other hand if it does not drop free – put the empty magazine back in the pistol – re-establish your shooting grip and do it again – 25 reps a day for month or so should for most folks establish that set of actions as a reflexive movement – after that 5 to 10 times every couple of weeks should be often enough ( for most of you ) to keep the magazine release “memory” fresh in your list of reflexive movements – and I don’t know about YOU – but I can hear a training officer or two ( or more ) hollering at his or her computer screen while watching this . . .

How many times did Jerry Miculek practice reloading to achieve 12 shots in 2.99 seconds? – 5,000? – 10,000? I don’t have a clue ( chances are neither does Jerry – LOL ) – but the motions involved became a reflex action for him – he didn’t think about doing it – he simply did it . . .

PRACTICE – PRACTICE – PRACTICE

Let me step off my soap box now . . .

HMS Royal Oak – A Documentary Well Worth Your Time . . .

Very well done – From the site :

On the night of Friday 13th October 1939 German U Boat Commander Gunther Prien penetrated the British Navy’s main anchorage at Scapa Flow and sank HMS Royal Oak. 833 men lost their lives in one of the worst tragedies in British Naval history.
The wreck of HMS Royal Oak is a designated war grave and all diving is prohibited but a special permission was granted by the Ministry of Defence and the Royal Navy for the wreck to be filmed as a moving tribute to all those who lost their lives.
This video includes underwater images of the wreck which have never been seen before and there are interviews with survivors and Orcadian Sandy Robertson who was the first diver to go on the wreck the day after she sank . . .
