SureFire Push Dagger
I like the looks and the idea.
I may have to snag one for the deployment. Would make for a good offhand backup for CCW I'd imagine as well.

Should Start a Petition...
To replace all the "World's Deadliest Ice Logger Swamp Fish Jousting" with classic ""Modern Marvels" and "Tales of the Gun."

Grumbles
Rather mediocre sleep last night, so the snooze button was thoroughly abused. Apparently one of the cats also retaliated against my rolling around and flinging them off the bed when they started to fight on top of my legs, so one of my Kiowa Warriors that was sitting on the table is MIA. Found the main rotor and sensor mast busted off and laying on the kitchen floor, but the rest of the tiny 1:285 helicopter is nowhere to be seen.
On top of that, I have to get rolling to get to drill in a few hours.
Is it ever going to be spring?

At least everybody stayed inside most of the night...
Got about 4 inches or so of snow, then it turned to rain around 1am. Nice, heavy, driving, pouring rain. Now the roads are effectively flooded since the storm drains are packed full of ice and snow, and it's hovering right around 32 degrees.
I'll be very glad to get home in about a half hour and just go to sleep until Skaldi stops throwing up all over the world.

Really MLB?
Astros remove Revolver from throwback jersey to make MLB happy.
Now they look stupid, and I hope any living player that wore those jerseys get nice and vocal about how disrespectful MLB's decision is.

Never Snowing Again
Since Manda's new skis weren't enough, there's now a brand new snowblower in the garage. Supposedly we're getting anywhere from 4 to 14 inches in the next couple days, but this should solidly assure the storm will dissipate just before hitting Central Wisconsin.
Skiing
All told, we probably only did a little over 10k of XC skiing over the weekend, but it was the first time we were able to get out this year. None of the snow has stuck around long enough to even think about grooming trails around here, so we had to go 4 hours north.
It was fun (especially with the stops at White Winter Winery and South Shore Brewery...) but I came back to an overnight shift and I'm dead tired. There's a good two hours before I can go to bed yet...

Skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
First XC ski trip of the season has finally happened (snow has not cooperated at home this year.) Nice overall, but the sun did peak out enough to warm the fresh stuff up enough to get tacky, and start freezing to my grippy middle section, so by the end of the trail I wasn't gliding anymore. Hopefully tomorrow it'll be a bit better, and different trails means hopefully different conditions.
We're going to head into the nearest town big enough to have a theater in an hour or so and catch "Act of Valor," which I'm pretty excited about.
No photos to show, I forgot the microSD to SD adapter card thingy, so no way to pull them off the up-armored camera.

Phew....
The apartment is cleared out, so that worry is off the shoulders.
To celebrate, we'll be heading up north to go skiing, since the snow refuses to stay here for more than 24 hours. May hop on and say some stuff or post some photos, but don't expect much until Monday.

So to Kill Zombies...
It has to be colored "radioactive green?"
I'll admit that I've enjoyed the whole zombie thing for a while, but it's getting a bit absurd and quite overdone.

Whiskey Followed by Beer
On Modern Marvels when I got up this morning. Sometimes I wish there was just a channel with nothing but that show...

Extended M&P Mag Release
"The Costa Catalyst" from 21st Century Gunfighter.
I really haven't had an issue with the stock one, but this could be a great upgrade for smaller hands.

Illumination Equipment?
What kind of lights do people out there like to use?
A while back I wrote up a piece about a training experience and how it led me to love having a white light on my gun. I always intended to follow up on that one with an article about gear, but I've only been able to use a few different lights and mount setups. I'd love to hear what some of your opinions are on different gear, and maybe see if we could round up some more examples of what's out there for a decent spread and compare some stuff.
Feel free to let us know what you like, dislike, and all that fun stuff down in the comments, and if you'd be willing to possibly loan some gear to the cause, shoot me an email and we'll see what we can get set up!

M26 Being Issued
2nd BCT 101st is the first to be issued the new shotgun system.
I think it's a great tool for any breaching team (and so did the design team, there's a pull-out breaching stand-off device on the muzzle.) I'd love to get some time with one of these.

Phew!
I was short on cash when I stopped at Starbucks, so I just used my debit card. I guess I'm safe.

Credit
Caleb has a good post about using other people's stuff. It's a good read (so go read it.)
I tend to think of my blog as being somewhat image driven (even if I've been slacking on that lately...) and I'm cool with others using my images. As long as you link back to the post that the image is from, go for it.
Oh, speaking of images, here's picture of Simon Cat. If only he'd stay that way...
