Shoplifter

I work retail security. I busted a shoplifter and among other things they were trying to "boost" was a shirt like this one. I did have a PD car come and intercept the shoplifter in the parking lot. Irony at it's best.

St Pattys day in review

Since I couldn't wait to celebrate my Irish heritage, I decided to have a few on Thurs and a few more on Fri. ( the church claiming Mon as the official day). To answer my bro's question of what was I drinking , I post this picture . green beer is for wussies .

Guess what it is (shouldn't be that hard)

This face looking image was pointed out to me this morning . Perhaps the next big step after finding the face on the surface of Mars? No it didn't come with the teeth and eyes colored, I did that.................or did I?

Paid programming

I guess I never realized how much infomercials are on late night/early morning. Seems most of the channels are filled with worthless product ads. I don't remember so many ads and programmed commercials being on like this in the past.

400 miles today

Had quarterly training with the district for work. Unfortunately form me , I live the farthest away and most others live close. So I get to drive the distance . Not that I mind driving, but the truck developed this nasty habit of something breaking every time I go somewhere . This time it decided the cruise control should malfunction.
I am really thinking hard about a new ride since it seems to be one problem after another. I love my '96 GMC with 200,000 + miles on it, but its starting to go body wise and mechanically.

Reloading ammunition

One of my hobbies is reloading ammunition to offset the cost of shooting. I have loaded for .40 S&W for a few years. I picked up some .45 ACP dies and conversion for my Dillon Precision press. I finally got around to reloading , specifically making test loads to verify proper cycling and operation of the .45 ACP ammo thru my pistol.
Once the load was researched , I slowly adjusted the dies so all the proper specs were met. Re sizing, Powder charge and bullet depth. I carefully loaded 5 rounds of .45 ACP, only ruining one spent brass in the process.
finally having produced a test batch , I took them out and tested the new load. No problems and I shot some other ammo I brought as well. Having established a working load, I now can reload in bulk to get some cheap practice ammo.

Petoskey's minilight house

I happened to be in Petoskey today and saw the break wall with small light house on it. I looked interesting so I stopped to snap some pics. Lots of people were out ice fishing and apparently sledding on the frozen lake today.
The pictures probably would have looked better w/ o people in the shot, but they weren't co- operating. My guess is we finally got some slightly warmer weather and people decided to get out and enjoy while the sun actually was visible.
