A lousy week made worse by my long-suffering Galaxy4 deciding to go tango uniform on me. The annoying part, other than the expense, is that I lost a bunch of archived text messages I was saving for sentimental reasons. And some really good porn. And here’s something that really annoyed me – the new phone is X dollars. But they add it to your phone bill over 24 months. I asked how much if I just wanna pay for the stupid thing right now? Then its 1.25X. In other words, if you wanna pay cash right there and buy the phone it is more expensive that letting them break it up over 24 months. Seriously? So I let them do it over 24 months but after six months of payments I can pay the stupid thing off in total at the lower price. Im just lucky they didn’t send the phone cops.

I ordered this up from an outfit called 0241Tactical. I’d been wanting a smock/anorak type of pullover in ATC-FG for a while and a review said that it seemed like a good piece of kit. Ordered it up on the 22nd of last month and am still patiently waiting.
Also ordered up a pair of simple, plainjane A2 AR stocks for a DMR project gun I’ve been tinkering with. Stag, whom I normally enjoy doing business with, has taken bloody near three weeks just to ship the damn things. Annoying.
All in all, a grumpy week.
On the other hand, our reporter-beating Republican candidate got elected, the weather is freaking gorgeous, and I started a new job this week. So..there’s that.
Still, I’m not ready to turn in my Cranky Old Man membership card just yet.
Did not know negative interest rates had hit the consumer market
Try the smocks by Arktis. I just picked one up recently, took a bit over a week to arrive but them I’m overseas so the short delay is reasonable.
Fantastic design and quality, should easily last 15-20 years. Not cheap, but it falls into the category of things to buy once, cry once.
New job? No suspense or anything loll.
Many thanks for the shout out Brother! As for the Pullover, just bear with Sean. He went from making 2-3 of those a month to well over 50 orders just from the review I did. He contracted a local sewing shop to get a jump on them, and put everything else aside just to get the orders pushed through.
I definitely get the frustration. Stuff piles up and tends to snowball. I normally go shoot stuff when that happens 🙂
What camo pattern did you go with? For North Idaho I was thinking 1 in ATACS-AU and 1 in ATACS_FG. And maybe 1 in Ranger Green.

Missed that, didn’t I?
