The stock market.

I usually like to write about things I know more about. But the stock market? I'm old enough to have kept an eye on it over the years, I've seen it go up and down. I watched it go up and up a few years ago until no one thought it could last, and guess what they were right and then it crashed down, and a lot of people were mad cuz they lost money. I think they were mad cuz some people who knew when to get out made a lot of money. The funny thing was it seems like a lot of them made money with out any actual product being produced. In fact this seemed about the time banks were willing to loan 125% of the worth of a house? Now the thing is bouncing up and down the way the back end of my car does on the ice, now if this analogy holds true then we better brace for impact, and if the whipping around is any indication its going to be a big one! Smoking Dan.

Obama media

Well it's been interesting watching Obama's media take out the republican candidates that they fear one by one. And now their down to the ones that they figure they can take out later or that won't be any different then Obama. There is Newt who cheated on his wife and got thrown out as speaker of the house and Mitt who's Obama lite. We should just vote the one they went after the hardest, to show them that we not buying their garbage! Smoking Dan.

Dead Marine

I read the story about the marine shot 22 times by the police. This has got to be the saddest thing I've ever read. Having said that I'm left with one thought, If your going to come at the police with gun prepare to die. It may not be right, it may not be fair, it just is! Rest in Peace. Smoking Dan.

Suppresors.

That's right I read an article about how the BATF is now interested in scouring pads because they could be used for packing materials for suppressors or silencers for guns. Oh my, whats next brass, copper, and aluminum screen, 1 liter soda bottles, PVC tubing and fittings, rubber washers and seals, freeze plugs and copper tubing, what about feather pillows a rubber bands, what about aluminum,steel and titanium materials, how about drills, end mills, lathes and milling machines, and less not forget about the hundreds of books and web sites. Maybe they ought to spend more time not supplying drug cartels with full auto assault weapons! You know the ones used to kill our boarder agents. Smoking Dan.

National Anthem

Why do we keep getting people to sing the national anthem who don't know the words? Maybe a music stand with a sheet of paper with the words on it problem solved! I mean really. Smoking Dan.

Thanks Giving.

What am I thankful for? Well, I'm thankful for being blessed for each day I wake up and each meal I eat, for my kids and grand kids, for my friends, for the greatest country in the world I live in and all the people who came before and left it to me, for my home and that it's paid for, for the men and woman in our military and the job they do and the sacrifice their families make, and I thank God the most for all these things. Smoking Dan.

Tofu

Tofu is NOT   turkey!!!! Smoking Dan.

Hi Point 9mm

Ok before you start I know Hi Points are barely a gun but they do work and they come with a life time warranty. And even with as funky as they are were else you going to buy a new 9mm for $100 that will hold a 3" group at 75'. Their kind of big and clunky, heavy and they slip around in your hand. But for a first hand gun or cheep protection they work. I've had one of the carbines that you could hit a bunny at 100 yards. Just can't beat it for $100. Smoking Dan.

SUB2000

Well I fired a few hundred rounds through a "Kel-Tec Sub2000" at some zombie splatter targets today, what a fun gun to shoot. At .40 cal and just 4.0lbs, 29.5" open, 16" folded, with a 16.1' barrel length. The one I got was sighted dead on and fired a 2" group at 75' out of the box. At 4.0lbs it does kick pretty good but that's ok. It uses a Glock magazine w/22 rounds, just a suggestion order the Glock speed loader or you may have a lot of trouble getting all 22 rounds loaded up. One short coming with the way it folds up your pretty much stuck with the stock sights, which if you like open sights work just fine. A couple of accessories that will help one the Glock slide on grip and the recoil tube cover. The soft case works well too, with it folded up at 16" looks like a small laptop in the case. For the price of a few boxes of .40sw you've got hours of shooting fun.

Funny stuff.

One of the funniest things I saw this weekend was the protesters winning about being pepper sprayed, what a bunch of wimps. In the old days they hit us with "CS gas",  water cannons and police dogs. These people should stay home and twit each other. Whats next bitching about stubbed toes and hang nails? If this is the best they've got to offer maybe we really don't have anything to worry about. What a bunch of wienie wimps! Smoking Dan.

Iran close to a nuke.

So Iran is close to a nuke. This can not be allowed to happen! This is a country run by a man who said he would be willing to lose 60% of his population on a first retaliatory attack. There is no doubt that the moment Iran has a working nuke they will use it on Israel, and who do you think will be their 2nd target. All they need to do is get a ship with in a few hundred miles of our shore, which they have already threatened to do. Fire it up far enough over our east or west coast blow it up and shut down pretty much everything electrical down or at least enough to cause us a great hardship. So it doesn't matter how bold the attack, it must take place! Iran must be stopped no matter the worlds opinion. This threat is just to big! So stop Iran and stop them now!!!!!!!! Smoking Dan.

To the parents.

This is to the parents of the students down on these occupy movement sites. Unless you want to expose your children to the dangers of this movement, which include rapes, drugs, molestations, violence, diseases , lice, fleas,criminal records and brain washing, none of which will ever help them get any kind of a job or become a well balanced person, your kids are being brought onto a cult. You need to cut off all support now, you need to get them out now! Or the future problems they have because of this will be on your head. That's right cuz your the grownup. Have you noticed how  the followers repeat everything the speakers say this is classic cult training and textbook brainwashing! Most of your kids are learning what to think, not how to think for them selves, is this what your paying for, sending them to college, really?  Or do You want your kids coming out of college with the skills to look forward at life and say I'll get up every mourning and go out and be the best at what I do, that I'll give 100% of what I've got to give and I'll look for ways to better myself, and if I hit a dead end then I'll find a different direction till I find a path of success! After all isn't this why you send your kids to college? Smoking Dan.

It worrys me.

Yes it worries me, if you read my blog of yesterday. I've seen this before back in the 60's and it led to a very bad time! I think this movement will pretty much go a way for the winter, this will not be because it's ended but instead gone under ground. The winter will give the leadership a chance to become more organized, more dangerous, putting their ducks in a row. The problem is most of us will go back to sleep. All the while the organizers will be planning their next attack starting next spring. A much more dangerous and deadly attack to last the summer. The last time it had police being murdered, Watts being burned down, students being shoot at Ohio state and the loss of many of that generation to drugs and violence. " If we don't learn from history we will repeat it! And parents this time it will be your children dieing. For those of us old enough to remember this was a very bad time in our country. one that took a very long time to heal. So for those of you old enough to remember grow up it wasn't a romantic time it was a dangerous time, and what if your kids are not as lucky as you were. Are you ready for that. Will you be ready to bring your kids home in a box, because you didn't make them understand? Smoking Dan.

I think this will explain what I've said before OWS Protester: In a Few Days You’re Going to See What a Molotov Cocktail Can Do to Macy’s | Conservative Byte  Professed Occupy Portland Members Arrested Carrying Bombs Intended for Police | Vision to America

Well suprise, suprise.

What is it about the occupier knot heads that after over a month of incoherent babbling and never getting a apply able thought out and managing to only create an area where rapes took place, several dead and murdered body's showed up, public sex, defecation, drug use, theft and other criminal activities, health conditions equal to a third world areas with rats, lice and flees, the open destruction of public and private property and violent confrontations with police and generally a public nascence. Surprise so many brains so little sense. And the only message they got out was "we are lewd crude and socially unacceptable, and the Hollywood stars that backed them are just as dumb"! Smoking Dan.

It's about time.

I was reading the news this mourning and it seems like the occupiers  are just bitching a way, or is it really the news reporters. Seems like they have had it pretty easy lately if they need some filler they just send some people down to the protest and get some quotes and instant filler and it really doesn't matter what they say, cuz they will print it no matter what it is. looks like they will have to go back to work? Smoking Dan.

VET'S

Who are we. We are the ancestor's, the pictures in the scrape books, the grand parents, the parents, the fathers, the mothers, the aunts and uncles and cousins, the brothers and sisters, the sons and daughters. All who gave some and some who gave all. We were the ones who fought against all who would try to take our freedom no mater who they were, no matter where they came from. We were the ones who gave our lives to our country for a time. WE ARE VET'S! Smoking Dan.

GSG-522

The GSG-522 is a really sweet little little German Sport Gun in .22 cal looks like a HK MP5 . In fact it looked so much like one they got sued and had to change a few things on the outside of it in order to keep selling it they have 2,10,15,22,and 110 rnd. mags for it. I'm using the 22 rnd. at this time, they load easy and feed really good. I've got about 2000 rnds. threw it so far and it works great, takes about 800 continuous rnds. threw  it before the first feed problems show up. At 75ft. at the local indoor range it holds about a 2in. shot group as fast as I can pull the trigger with open sights. This equals out to about 3hr.of fun for a $16.00 brick of 22 ammo. Smoking Dan.

MY FREINDS

I've had a bad roof for many years, over the last month my 2 best friends got to gather on 2 days and replaced a 1/4 of my roof. Work I am no longer able to do. One traveled in from 2 states a way, and the other from the northern part of my state twice, and it was 2 days of hard work. In a world where so many think they can only depend on them selves having good friends is a real blessing I pray that all should be blessed with such friends. Smoking Dan.

Some one should tell them.

I think everyone of these protesters that have taken time off work should be fired! The students should be given F's for their time missed from class! The business owners, laid off employees, property owners and cities should bring a class action suit against the organizer's and supporters for lost profits, lost work, property damage, and clean up. And the teachers that bring their class of under age children should be brought up on charges for child endangerment! And sued by the parents I see lots of work for attorneys, so come on guys and gals grab your briefcases and business cards and get going. Smoking Dan.

Looking at the news.

As I fired up the old computer I was looking for the news of the last nights activities and what did I find on my xfinity home page? NOTHING! What a surprise, that's right not a thing, so now I'm waiting for the mourning news to come on so more in a while.Well I watched the news ABC, NBC, CBS. Wow that last one says it all, see b.s. for a while I thought we all dodged a bullet, maybe the occupiers went home cuz there was nothing there, that's right nothing. But later I was listening to talk radio and they were all talking about it, could it be, its like ABC, NBC, CBS were trying to control the news, like maybe their trying to control us by the news they reported to us or didn't report to us. But this would put them on the side of the occupier's. Makes you wonder what else their telling us or not telling us. I guess they really do think we all are that stupid! Smoking Dan.

Told you so.

There have been people telling you that this has been the end goal of the occupier's all a long, but the news media has handled this as a joke, all a long. they have ignored the crime, the rapes, the drugs, the thieves, and all the other stuff that has been going on at these occupy rallies cuz you see they knew what the end game was all a long. This is also what Obama and the people that he has surrounded him self with have been hoping for, its what they have been waiting for since the 60's, cuz you see it didn't work back then.if this doesn't end soon the people are going to ask the government to do something to stop this and they will be more than happy to do something, the question is when their done doing something how many freedoms will we have lost? You see in the 60's the radicals didn't have the people at the top like they do now. We are definitely entering some interesting and dangerous times. Smoking Dan.

I,ve been waching.

Yes I've been watching the run up to next years election and as I've been watching , something dawned on me, its not the people we have elected. No its our fault. THAT'S RIGHT ITS OUR FAULT! You see we elected them, we sent them to our capitals, state and federal and when they got there they sucked up all the power and did what ever they wanted to and what did we do, well we waited around for a few years and elected some more lop headed sob's and they went to their offices and did the same thing. Seems like someone said some thing about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Well its time to do some thing different? Like maybe we should actually hold these people responsible for representing us we the people. Then I'm not sure it would make that much of a difference who we elected because if they didn't represent us they would know that they would be RECALLED. That's right if you don't do what the people that elected you to do, then we aren't going to wait for years to get rid of you, no as soon as we feel that your not doing your job "representing us" your FIRED. You see its not you that has the power its "WE THE PEOPLE"!  But until we the people are ready to hold these people accountable we are going to keep winding up with the same result. And that's why its our fault! Smoking Dan.

My hands.

Have you ever looked at your hands? I have. And having worked as a mechanic and a design draftsman so Ive done things with my hands that have been amazing . From putting them in places and putting on a fastener that no tool could ever do, and I've caught a bug and handled it with out any harm. I've brought pleasure to a woman and held a wound closed and sowed it up with just 2 hands, I've held my new born son in my hands and grabbed and picked up a 100 lb. bag of sand. Ive deflect a punch and broking a nose with my fist. I've shook a mans hand to seal a deal and caught a ball in mid air, I've waved goodbye to a friend and squeezed a trigger to take out an enemy. I've used them to climb a tree and to push a car. these are all things I've done with my hands and so many things more. Smoking Dan.
