I logged back into AR15.com. It's been a long long time. In 2012-13 I was regularly using the site, but I got too lost in the game. Far too involved with every aspect of prepping, planning, buying. Not even buying guns, I ran myself just about broke. Nothing to do during long slow nights on an ambulance and I would just spend all my time here.
It's a great site, but I realized I had this pseudo dangerous addiction and wasn't balancing everything out correctly.
SO I walked away.
A couple of years ago I tried to log in, see if I could. I got in, update my information, and that was that. Amazing what changes in five years. A lot of ugly personal stuff and work changes.
Fast forward to 2019. Great job. I'm in my own home again, wonderful lady and her children by my side. In December, I realized I didn't have a generator ahead of a pending wind storm in NY. I remember this site and the past. Then I got on Cabelas and found a smoking deal on a 3750w guy with free shipping. So there was that too.
Preparedness, safety. It's never out of my mind. It's what I do for a living. I took this site to the extremes once, however, I'm back and it's good to be here.
So yeah, Today I logged into AR15.com.
