Jobs, Guns, and Plans

I notice that I failed to tell of my fine luck - I found employment with a national telecom company. This took about 10 days. There's something to be said about knowing people in the right places. Whew! That shortened the job search - there was prayer involved; the Savior answered my request for a quick and productive effort.

It's a great job and I have a terrific team and a wonderful boss. I have been truly blessed, both with a fine home, a wonderful wife, friendly pets, and a great career.

Brendon, following several exposures to my AR15, contracted an ailment known as Evil Black Rifle Disease. It's a disorder of the soul, in which you feel a giant hole gnawing its way into your heart until you buy an AR15, an AR-180B, an AK-47 or AK-74. Many of the afflicted also find relief in the purchase of an HK-91 or FAL, or one of the myriad "generic" or "store brands." Symptoms tend to reappear if the medication is ceased.

Brendon's relief came from Rock River Arms - a great manufacturer, but the very same shop (Mega) that made my Mega lower and upper are the folks that RRA contract from for the manufacture of their components. The fit between the upper and lower is so frippin' tight that you don't need an Accuracy Wedge to shim out the difference and prevent motion between the receiver halves.

I am trying to organize a BloggerShoot with FreedomSight and Publicola; we are going shooting this Saturday unless work intervenes, and I will begin my Padawan Learner's training on the finer points of the Black Rifle - stay tuned for the after-action report.
