Yup. I work in hell, so that I can be comfortable at home.


When I was a kid, my mom would try to save money by turning down the thermostat.
My dad would come home, and turn the thermostat back up.
Said he suffered at work (he didn't use "nice" words like that) so that he could be comfortable at home.

Now I work where your choices seem to be "burning in hell hot", or "arctic tundra cold", and I understand where my dad was coming from.

Have a great day all.
As for the work, I work in a control room, with tons of monitors and CPUs, so it has to stay cold. Usually I like not wearing a sweatshirt all day. Working there is the best option as I get left alone a lot more.

Anyone going to the gun show this weekend?

Nope. I'm no longer welcome there as a vendor, so I will not participate as a shopper either.

Back in July when I was set up there, it was extremely hot in the building because they do not have A/C. My 86-year-old mom who was helping me, got very sick and dehydrated on Saturday. On Sunday, she was still pretty woozy and I did not want to leave her at home all day because she has had some bad falls. I went on Sunday morning and let Danny, the promoter/manager or whatever, know that I had to break down my booth and go home because my 86-year-old mom was ill from the heat on Saturday. He yelled that I would never be able to come back if I did not stay for the contracted time, and I may or may not have used some profanity in my response that basically said it was fine by me because my mom's health was more important than his ******* show.

Seems like a suitable response. Was the CP show even worth your time?

The managers here have officially run out of **** to make people do. They're painting the dark grey sheet metal siding on one of our shanties with bright blue paint. It's gonna look worse after they're done.

It was, because in the 3-4 times I was set up I sold about 6-7 guns and a lot of holsters and other excess accessories I had lying around. Booth rent was $45 each weekend. I only broke even on the guns, but I needed the money. It stopped being as productive by the July show because I only had three guns left, and they were all 'plain janes'. I had sold all of the unique/desirable ones already.

Got my red dot dialed in on my Mark IV. Man that was fun! My buddy's 10 year old learned and wouldn't shoot anything else. I think I know what he's getting for Christmas.

Got to shoot my Garand. It's a real shooter! Range steel at 100 yards shooting faster than I've shot Garands in the past. Super happy!

Buddy shot his new lower number 1903...it is a shooter and did not grenade.
