Journal HokieSeas's Journal: Waiting for the plotter.... 4
So....I am still here. Just not alot to write about. I kind of figured after the 8th or 9th entry clogging up your screen of "I woke up, I went to work, I came home, I ate, I watched hockey" someone would of probably tracked me down and thrown a brick at me.
I would not have liked that.
So anyways, yeah, not much going on out here. Added two new toys to my stable and that is about it.
After a faithful service tenure of 7 years, my green beast, the 1992 Ford Explorer has been retired and replaced with a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder which I recieved last week. It was a bit of an adventure in getting it, since the initial one I "bought" was at another dealer, and was to be shipped down. Apparently, whoever my dealer talked to at that dealer, didn't tell their salesmen, and someone sold it before it could be transferred. Or something to that affect. Which then led to a day or two of my dealer going "well, we can get you this one" and I respond by going "does it have the color and options I told you I wanted" and them responding "no" followed by me going "then I don't want it". Seriously, this should not have been a difficult process. I walked into the dealer with a printout of what I wanted prebuilt from the Nissan website. Apparently Nissan did not make enough of that particular configuration in their current production period, but they finally found it, and now it's mine.
The second item is a 1943 M1903A3 rifle in 30.06 from the Civilian Marksmanship Program. This is a continuation of my interest in collecting operational rifles of the second world war, which I currently have the German Mauser k98, the American M1 Garand, and American M1 Carbine. Oh, if I only had the money to afford some full auto versions of the M1 Thompson or the BAR.
Well, sounds like the printer is done. Back to work for another 45 min or so.

What if it was a solid gold brick?

If it wouldn't kill me, turn me into a vegetable, cause me to lose my memory, lose any teeth, or any sort of permanent phyiscal or mental damage and/or disability, then yes, please throw your solid gold bricks at me.
From what ever approximate distance you can throw a solid gold brick + 2 feet.
