New Accessories for a New Toy!

Testing...one...two...testing. Is this thing on? Hellooooo!

Oh, hi.

A couple of nifty little parts that I have placed on my recently purchased Marlin 336CS in 30/30 Winchester.

A variation on the scout rifle concept. It's caliber seems to me to be the main detractor from acceptance in overall status as a scout. 30/30 is only effective out to a maximum range of 200 yards (and that's pushing it!). Still, within its limitations and for my usage as a hunting rifle in wooded Northern Arkansas and as a Home Defense Rifle (HDR), I believe it will be a dandy little tool. Now to just find an opportunity to get it zeroed.

WARNING: If you don't care for guns, ignore my posts!

Carry on.

What’s that in your pocket?

Now this is a nifty little invention that I am going to file under intersting. As stated on their website, "The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, then easily transfer the notes to your PDA, spreadsheet, or planner. "

The best laid plans

My company is switching to another telco and changing to a new phone system. A plan was laid down to insure that little to no problems would be encountered when we do the switch. Well as luck would have it last week the main switch for our long distance provider went out and did come back up for 6 hours. Now the voicemail system for the current system went down and we are having to get a replacement just 5 days before the new system is to be installed. What luck.
