Gun Range has ammo vending machine installed, some people cry about it

There isn’t anything in the world you can do, that isn’t going to upset someone else. Some people just need all the attention, don’t they?

A gun range in Pennsylvania, Beaver Valley Rifle & Pistol Club, recently had a vending machine installed that houses all sorts of ammunition calibers that can be used at the range. It's a service to the members, since non-jacketed ammunition is what the range likes it's members to use. Even though it's installed inside of a gun range that requires access with an electronic key, people are still complaining about it.

This is what happens to your brain when you stop eating sugar

I have a huge sweet tooth. I always have. My friend and fellow graduate student Andrew is equally afflicted, and living in Hershey, Penn., “Chocolate Capital of the World,” doesn’t help either of us.

But Andrew is braver than I am. Last year, he gave up sweets for Lent. I can’t say that I’m following in his footsteps this year, but if you are abstaining from sweets for Lent this year, here’s what you can expect over the next 40 days. 

Sugar: natural reward, unnatural fix

In neuroscience, food is something we call a “natural reward.” In order for us to survive as a species, things like eating, having sex and nurturing others must be pleasurable to the brain so that these behaviors are reinforced and repeated.

I went cold turkey once with my sugar intake and lost about 30 lbs in 2 months. It's ridiculous and sugar free cookies suck. I've found that drinking soda with real cane sugar instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup are a little better for you if you have to have them.

I think I'll pass

Smells like a trap to me... Ain't shit for me and my Smoking Hot Little Barefoot Gardening Squaw to talk about cept' what's for supper... The rest is all gravy baby, like it should be.

From the weekend

We relaxed a bit this weekend after two weeks of the industry sucking the soul and life force out of us. We managed to throw together a crawfish boil, complete with home brew craft beers, deer sausage, corn, potats, family members and plenty of friends. It was a well needed break. We have a very thick and large tribe that gathers from time to time to break bread with one another and keep our bonds tight.

I managed to get a little gaming in with the kids too. This is one of the usual Battlefield 4 ass whippings that I like to hand out from time to time. Hey don't judge, it keeps my hand and eye coordination in tune. If you want some too, I'm on Xbox 360.

Also got to do a little bit of gun work and assembly on my latest project, the 7.62X39 build. I've built one before, cept' this one I get to keep for myself... All I need is my 15" Keymod Rail to show up and we are in business. Also picked up a 3-9x40 Vortex Crossfire II with hold over reticle to go on top. 

This will primarily be used as a deer and hog rifle for 2015. Trying something new besides the guaranteed bolt gun 30.06 venison harvester. You got your MOA Game tight or what? I've already got an app that calculates the reticle settings depending on the round I intend to shoot. That would be set for a Hornady 7.62x39 123 gr SST® Steel Case. 300 Yard settings, 100 yard zero. It doesn't get much easier than that does it?

16" Hbar, Stage 2 trigger, OD Magpul CTR, OD Magpul K2 grip, Yankee Hill micro block, 5/8-24 A2 Hider. Nothing fancy and pretty with all kinds of faux finish artistic paint for showing off. I'm actually going to use this one. She's no safe queen, I promise. It's a tool. Tools get used.




Have a great week you guys and gals. Don't let the green grass fool you, don't let it change your mind.

Shocker, I know, Ronda Rousey with yet another Armbar...

This one was different... I don't think I've ever seen one with that type of rotation out of socket from that position. OUCH!! 

Every UFC fighter with fights coming up replayed that clip about 100 times in order to learn that sporadic technique.
