How are ya'll getting along?

Well, the kids are squirrely whenever there is down time, much like me. Just kidding. I am actually getting worn out, but my family has the idea that we'll take a day of rest tomorrow, like we did on Wednesday. Sunday is a hugely busy day, we are going to the dreaded Washington, DC area. Eeek! If I get to see some museums and things, I'll be happy.

DC is pretty cool. I was a volunteer lobbyist for a number of years and tried to hit some of the art museums and monuments while I was there. Some awesome restaurants there. This one Indian restaurant.. Oh my. Their food was soooo gooood!

Great place to visit short term, but I could never live there, or anywhere on the east coast.

I hate big, crowded cities. Much like NYC, I am going just for the experience of going and the possibility of a great museum. I am a country mouse! My brother's house is nice and secluded back in the woods. I half expect a sasquatch to wander by when I'm drinking my coffee in the morning by the window in the kitchen.

I'd like to see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I don't like big cities. I do like museums.

How are you and big brother getting along?

Just fine, my brother is fantastic. He talks nonstop, makes me laugh.

I think we're going to find the Korean War Memorial, our dad was in the Army and spent some time in a foxhole one winter.

I should have brought sturdier shoes.....

That should be emotional, tough men in those days. Those boys need to know their granddad was a hero.

Good for ya'll to take them. They and you will always remember this trip.

I'm proud of you.

Meh, I fought the crowds.

Me, +2 mosin Nagats and some new equipment + ammo..

did not save a whole bunch ( the mosins where $90 each and came with bayonet, sling, 2 sets of pouches and oiling can... all for $90 each gun.)

Also got some bells and whisles... lets see if I can get pics up later.

but now I can officaly say, christmas shoping is over... I spent $700, All on gun relaited stuff.

Personaly I think the one day mad dash to get it over with is best.... otherswise I will forget untill christmas morning.

90% of success in life is just showing up.

My original aim was to make friends. I'm happy with my new friends.
It is, afterall, challenging with any long distance relationship.

I was going to but I do not have a ton of money, and pretty much all I NEED right now is a car stereo, and did not see any tantalizing deals on those. I could USE an Xbox (fortunately my brother shares for now) but those never really go on sale so no reason to jump for Black Friday (I could have gotten a few crappy games for free is all).

I WAS however looking forward to snagging a sweet looking $35 chair on Walmart as I constantly fight over the one comfy chair in the office with my parents. It said it went on sale (online) on Friday... so I checked at midnight, not up yet, well maybe they just late... checked periodically and never yet available to purchase... until all the sudden when I checked at 12:40 they were sold out! I was bummed .

James, you did hear about the million plus people that got their XBOXs banned right?

Make sure if you get a used one that it connects to LIVE first. Either that or know how to by pass the lifetime ban. (not sure if there is a 'fix' out there yet)
