I can't stress the importance of situational awareness enough Quoted:
Quoted:
I feel a little nervous on my walk back after work  Not a bad area, mostly lit by street lights, but it made me tense. Like somebody was watching me  I don't listen to music on the walk for this reason. Just walk it fairly quickly. I have to go beneath an overpass thing though, and it's not very well lit. Which I pretty intensely dislike |

Which I pretty intensely dislike I had a Surefire 6XP PRO follow me home from the ammo store this weekend. I love it! It's not as awesome as the Surefire Fury my ex-GF stole, but the battery lasts longer so there's that. |

I'm looking around on google as far as the laws in AZ for having that shit. Sent a message to the Fox Labs people, too.

I work 1:30pm-10pm now, with a one mile walk to and from. I wouldn't say I'm paranoid, but I just generally am not so much a fan of walking late-ish at night by myself. |

As far as being outside in general, I vastly prefer night  Cooler and no day star making my eyeballs hurt and causing headaches

I've become a big fan of the Asp key defender for the ease of carry. It's also refillable and has a sturdy aluminum body that can be used as a cubatan. when I lost my surefire and couldn't afford a new one I got a streamlight protac 2l. It's a solid budget light. |

I thought it would be a great idea to go out and buy 1000 rounds of 9mm range ammo and a whole bunch of other goodies this weekend (like the above flashlight). Now I can't spend any more money on random stuff until the 15th. When I get the next check, it gets to fund a new paver driveway so I'll quit getting stuck in the yard every time it rains (it's currently raining, btw).

Maybe it is a little bit of sexism - I don't know. ~"Do you have any weapons?" "Yes sir." "Alright, be safe and have a good night." I think I have heard rumor of a certain length of blade being illegal here but never had cops ask what weapons I have so never has been a problem. *Not that I make a point of dealing with the fuzz*

Just remembering the Nights.

I highly recommend building it completely a couple of times before you break out the glue. And it's pretty important to have the rods sorted into the three sizes before you glue them. You can fix it if you don't, but it's difficult. Thanks for the unboxing pic. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I do have everything sorted by size and color, including the rods being in three separate groups. |

Good question...I see he's got a dillo he threw down the driveway, and/or sanded the edges of, but I don't see any spheres Yeah, that thing's been around the block a time or two. It seems that aluminum can openers, even 7075 T-6 aluminum can openers, have a finite lifespan.

Just FYI, the colors are in no particular order, as you can paint it anyway you like. That's why the directions are in black and white. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I'm staggering them by color, where applicable. For the record, it would be a little bit easier if they were colored in the pictures... Though I have no doubt you'd not like to take and post that many pictures again. Here's where I am now.

Alright! I think I've got it down now. (Still on the dry run)
It only took 1 swig of Jameson, 6 assorted beers, a beat-up old LaRue Lifer Dillo (not mine), 3 assorted handguns, an M44 Mosin, and about 3 hours. 
I wonder what I'll need to do it the second time around with the glue and epoxy??

Coming right along. I could do the instructions in color, but then I'd have to buy the bricks in the same color each time. It's a bit less expensive to buy the bricks we need in the cheapest color, and then you can paint it. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Not so much. The kit parts could be different from what's in the picture, it would just help allow a quicker understanding what you're looking at in all of the pictures if they were colored. (Black on black and black on dark gray is a bit hard to see in some shots.) |
