Ok decided to up the ante on my CQC ar-15... already have the red-dot installed (posting that image again for reference)... I decided im going to ad a flip-to-side 3x magnifier (got a monstrum brand as it was the only good quality magnifier in FDE I could find). I also have 45 degree FDE iron sights ill add as a backup.

I ordered the parts, ill share the final configuration when its done!

Ummm.. so they had this up at a gun-parts store. Not sure where to start...

I reconfigured my AR-15 for CQC (Close Quarters Combat). I stripped everything off it that adds any weight, including iron sights, and moved to a Sig Sauer MSR red dot reflex.

I cant express how excited i am to have my station back up and runni g again off my own custom software... seriously this is awesome! Been waiting 2 years to finish this project!

It is weird the things you miss when you are away from home for multiple years... friends aside its really nice to have my handy Fluke 289 DMM back in my hand.

There are no blue states, only blue cities. Something I heard that has a lot of truth to it. #UsPol

Bought more rings today (going to match them with my tie color). Here are all my rings in one place.

Wowowowow...... I just rebuilt a pen i built myself. Basically took a modern pen body, threw away its existing nib and ink feed and replaced it with an ink and nib feed that is 102 years old. Had to modify the size of the feed and use some teflon tape around it to get a good seal so the ink flowed right.... but my god of all my many amazing pens this now out performs them ALL! The nib is soft, has way more range than I thought, and the tip is fine enough for everyday writing too... best of all the modern body is so so sexy.

So I started wearing plain wedding band like rings. Partly because im in a relationship (not married) so it sends the signal to women I am taken... but more importantly as a style choice.

They are mostly cheap rings (Tungsten ~25$ up to cobalt and other mid grade metals at ~100$ to 300$). But I'm picking them out so they have some stripe of color like blue, red, purple, and green. Then matching whatever ring I wear that day to the color I'm wearing... this is probably the farthest I'll ever go for fashion.

My new pistol grips for my Baretta 92X just came in. Absolutely love them. Cant wait to put them on my gun.
