Must have been a busy Monday for everyone. Has been for me, and still got a bit of stuff to take care of this evening. Finally stopped for a very late lunch (even though it's dinner time) and will get back to things for a while.
The plastic sabot serves the same purpose as the copper jacket on a rifle projectile ( albeit the jacket also somewhat controls rate of expansion ).
Just curious if I'm missing something but the plastic sabot comes off the bullet within the first 20yds or so usually. It doesnt stay on the bullet until impact.

I seen something on this today. The guy you are speaking of choose to not use any of the federal/government funding(like the other guy) so he can raise as much money as he wants for his campaign. I still got to call Dish network and get HIS channel removed. Anybody that has Dish, its channel 73. Also I just like raising he!! with them.

Found a picture of my grandpa in his Marine uniform..and pictures of my parents when they dated in high school, including one of my mom in a skimpy yellow bikini. Funny to see your parents like that. I found a COLOR picture of my dad's '55 Chevy and old Harley...I had seen B&W versions but had no idea there was a color one out there its kinda cool. Pictures of old pets I had nearly forgotten about, nostalgic.
What was that song..I saw mama before she was mama?? Heard something like that a couple times on country radio. It's funny cause one of these days our kids(when and if we have them) will probably do the same with us.

Lisa if you want I can walk you through some of the stuff, safely, on your list. If your comfortable with that.
Tonight will be a good night. I will be at Gillette Stadium watching the NE Patriots play the Denver Broncos. One of my commercial customers has season tickets and I was offered the chance to go.
GO BRONCOS

Any of you who aren't familar with the story - he found out my house was for sale and iterrogated me about it so I fessed and told him my plans of moving to Iowa, hoping he would understand the particulars of my situation.
He is currently giving my resignation to the entire company at a meeting I am not even invited to.
Fun day. Don't even have a closing date on my house yet.
Girl, you got a he!! of a lot more patients than me! I would have already told him where he could stick his job!! As stated before..with a broke nose to boot, probably. I just dont take to kindly to crap like that. I understand where you are coming from with still having another house payment and all though. Maybe you could start a "Help Lisa with her mortgage fund", so you can tell him what you really think about him!
But actually, that chipotle..the manager asked me out on a date like a year ago. It was a bit creepy. He kept discounting my lunch when I went in there (burrito and soda for $2.50), and then finally one day when my girlfriend was in the bathroom he cornered me at the soda machine and asked me if I wanted to go see a movie.
Only Lisa could get a free lunch, didn't you know she is like Chuck Norris!

I sure would like to be able to see you tell him to take a flying ef at a rolling donut on a gravel road. I feel for ya kid. Did you not used to have a Supporter badge?

Damn Brent, I can't remember the last time I saw or used a frieze block. Why are they all vented, you going to heat and insulate it. It looks very nice in the pictures, but I can be a real critic up close as I'm sure you can be too. You see your sway braces? On the East coast these dummies that build houses here do not even know what they are.

I always thought the sabot sheeth came off once it exited the muzzle.
Yes I do have patience. A lot of it apparently. The abuse continued long into the day.
No funds. I'm not real good at accepting money. Kinda stubborn that way. I like the idea of getting the hell out of here though.

Indeed. It might happen sooner than later if he continues on the same track. I snapped back at him today as the questioning continued and ever since then he has been smiling and cracking jokes and acting rediculous like nothing ever happened.
Never had a supporter badge. You've asked me that before though. I promised everyone I'd get one after I sold my place.

Local code makes us use them no matter what. Heat and insulate eventually, and I was planning on drywalling the inside at some point. Those sway braces have since been removed and they now make us put in reverse 45 braces. All in the name of overkill up here, as they keep telling us we are long overdue for a nasty earthquake. I'm a hell of a critic too Mark, it's real hard for me to look at someones work and not pick it apart. Thanks for the compliments guys,

This may come up as a double post. The sabots do come off within the first 20yds or so. Just watch the ground when walking to check your target when shooting them. Like I said the "dont burn any bridges" doesnt always apply. When you do get the satisfaction of leaving be sure to give him an extra bit of an ear full from all of us here. Or better yet, put it on You Tube!
No..a friend of mine dropped in her business card a few weeks ago and won the company lunch thingy.
But actually, that chipotle..the manager asked me out on a date like a year ago. It was a bit creepy. He kept discounting my lunch when I went in there (burrito and soda for $2.50), and then finally one day when my girlfriend was in the bathroom he cornered me at the soda machine and asked me if I wanted to go see a movie.
We still see him there on occasion and he is creepy.
2.50 for lunch isnt bad, maybe you shoulda just told him you were busy that night he asked you?
On a serious note that is kinda creepy, Ive seen it done plenty of times working in resturants though. Ive never discounted food in order to talk to girls, ...I never needed to
Never had a supporter badge. You've asked me that before though. I promised everyone I'd get one after I sold my place.
Don't think I've ever asked before. I suppose I was so distracted by your mug shot that I just never noticed before. I would actually consider it rude to just flat out ask someone. I was thinking it expired or FTE messed up, not that you'd never had one.
