I'm still alive


April, May, June, and now July have came and gone with no posts. What the heck? Well my bro moved in with me making my life more interesting. Also changed shifts at work making my life strange again. Went to Vegas the first week of June which was neat but a lot of it was lost on me due to that I don't gamble much (lost $1) and there is almost any kind of sinful act is available. Although they did have a cool car show while I was there and the car driving down the strip was very cool even though it was very hot out.


Now I sit waiting for my shift to start so I though why not do some blogging. I'll be floating down Jacks fork next week and will try and write about it. See you then.

Shake, Rattle, and Roll at 4 A.M

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* "What is that?" I thought as i turned my head in bed. "Oh the bookshelf is moving.....THE BOOKSHELF IS MOVING!" I jump out of bed and rush to the door frame standing in place. After a few moments the ground settled down. I waited a few moments and went back to bed. When I got up I wondered if I dreamed the whole thing until I got to work. Everybody was talking about it and to add to the creepiness it happened again at work. I guess I need to be more alert for the time being.

And now from the Book of John (Moses Browning)



I found this on a forum and got a laugh so take a look.




The Holy Gospel According to John (Moses Browning)




Chapter 1 ver 1-13



1. In the beginning was the 1911, and the 1911 was the pistol, and it was good. And behold the Lord said, thou shalt not muck with my disciple John's design for it is good and it worketh. For John made the 1911, and lo all of his weapons, from the designs which I, the Lord, gave him upon the mountain.


2. And shouldst thou muck with it and hang all manner of foul implements upon it, and profane its internal parts, thou shalt surely have malfunctions, and in the midst of battle thou shalt surely come to harm.


3. And as the ages passed men in their ignorance and arrogance didst forget the word of the Lord and began to profane the 1911. The tribe of the gamesman did place recoil spring guides and extended slide releases upon the 1911 and their metal smiths didst tighten the tolerances and alter parts to their liking, their clearness of mind being clouded by lust.


4. Their artisans did hang all manner of foul implements upon the 1911 and did so alter it that it became impractical to purchase. For lo, the artisans didst charge a great tax upon the purchasers of the 1911 so that the lowly field worker could not afford one. And the profaning of the internal parts didst render it unworkable when the dust of the land fell upon it.


5. And lo, they didst install adjustable sights, which are an abomination unto the Lord. For they doth break and loose their zero when thou dost need true aim. And those who have done so will be slain in great numbers by their enemies in the great battle.


6. And it came to pass that the Lord didst see the abomination wrought by man and didst cause, as he had warned, fearful malfunction to come upon the abominations and upon the artisans who thought they could do no wrong.


7. Seeing the malfunctions and the confusion of men the lord of the underworld did see an opportunity to further ensnare man and didst bring forth pistols made of plastic, whose form was such that they looked and felt like a brick, yet the eyes of man being clouded, they were consumed by the plastic pistol and did buy vast quantities of them.


8. And being a deceitful spirit the lord of the underworld did make these plastic pistols unamenable to the artisans of earth and they were unable to muck much with the design, and lo these pistols did function.


9. And the evil one also brought forth pistols in which the trigger didst both cock and fire them and which require a "dingus" to make them appear safe.


10. But man being stupid did not understand these new pistols and did proceed to shoot themselves with the plastic pistol, and with the trigger cocking pistols for lo their manual of arms required great intelligence which man had long since forsaken. Yet man continues to gloat over these new pistols blaming evil forces for the negligent discharges which they themselves had committed.


11. And when man had been totally ensnared with plastic pistol, the lord of the underworld didst cause a plague of the terrible Ka-BOOM to descend upon man and the plastic pistols delivered their retribution upon men. And there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth in the land. 12. Then seeing that the eyes of man were slowly being opened and that man was truly sorrowful for his sinful misdeeds, the Lord did send his messengers in the form of artisans who did hear and obey the teachings of the prophet and who didst restore the profaned 1911s to their proper configuration, and lo, to the amazement of men they didst begin to work as the prophet had intended.


13. And the men of the land didst drive out the charlatans and profaners from the land, and there was joy and peace in the land, except for the evil sprits which tried occasionally to prey on the men and women of the land and who were sent to the place of eternal damnation by the followers of John.

The 1911 as it should be.

Another Lazy/Busy Sunday at work

My this has been long

My March is nearly over and I haven't blogged in a while. Finally got my SKS, pictures to come tonight if I have time, and it took me over an hour to clean out the mess of grease that covered the rifle. Also haven't had time to try it yet but pictures to follow.
The snow season has finally ended now the rain and flooding. According to the weather man the next 3 days are calling for more rain. The Mississippi river is already high and their calling for more rain, great! Well I can't fault the weather man, they just predict the weather not make it, or do they?
What else? Oh yes SASS is starting, to bad I don't have Saturdays off but working on that. I'm starting to get excited, I haven't been CAS for over a year and need to get back into it. Man, I itching just to get back into the outfit and strap on my Rugers, grab my Winchester 97, and have a romping good time! YE HAW!

So now it is setup to meet him on Friday and the weather man is calling for more snow! NO! I will be overjoyed when this done.

Gun Pic #1

I was going to start with a gun known and is an icon for westerns but ran out of time and I had to settle with something close but not quite it. Also, I don't have enough guns to make this a weekly thing but I will post at least once a month a firearm until I run out. This is the only true Colt that own.

According to the store I purchased this from is a pre-war Colt official Police in 38 Special. I'm more of a S&W kind of person but for the price that this gun was going for I just had to get it. This has around 85-90% of its bluing left, the timing is like a swiss clock, and the lockup is just like Colt is known for. I don't regret purchasing this firearm.

Sunday Humor

This comes from a Catholic elementary school. Kids were asked questions about the Old and New Testaments. They have not been retouched or corrected (i.e., incorrect spelling has been left in.)... Enjoy!

* The Jews were a proud people and throughout history they had trouble withthe unsympathetic Genitals.
* Samson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a Jezebel like Delilah.
* Moses led the hebrews to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened breadwhich is bread without any ingredients.
* The Egyptians were all drowned in the dessert. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten ammendments.

Sunday Humor

If I can remember and if I have the time I will start posting jokes on Sundays.

A elderly couple are taking a drive enjoying the nice day, however the husband gets a lead foot and soon notices flashing lights in his mirror. Looking down at the speedometer he sees that he is doing 80 M.P.H. He quickly pulls off the road. The officer walks up to the window and asks, "License and and insurance. Sir, do you know how fast you were going?" After handing his license and insurance the husband said, "Why yes I do officer I set my cruse control to 55 M.P.H." "Cruse control?" the wife stated, "this car doesn't have cruse control." The husband turned to her and gave her a stern look and turned back to the officer with a smile.
The officer then said,"I see that you are not wearing you seat belt." "I removed my belt to allow me to gain access to my wallet," the husband stated. "You never wear you seat belt," the wife stated. Again the husband head snapped to her giving her a stern look and a ssh and turned back to the officer with a smile.
The officer then asked the wife, "Miss, is your husband always like this to you?" "No officer," the wife said, "he is only like this when he has been drinking."

What I'm reading


Sorry about the looong time between post. Job's been taking all my time up but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Work's time is changing and I will have more time to blogg. Anyway here is what I'm reading at this time.
A friend of mine got me started on these books by Laurell K Hamilton. The main characters is Anita Blake a Animator, a person that can call forth zombies, who also is a vampire hunter. Her attitude is like the Marvel's "Blade" but not half vamp. The books are filled with colorful characters from vampires to wereleopards. The major plus that I find from these books is that it takes place in St. Louis, MO which I am familiar with.
With "Burnt Offerings" Anita finds herself in a war between the St. Louis Vampires and the Council of Vampires around the world and to make matters worse there is an arsonist targeting vampire owned businesses. If you like vampires, werewolves, and magic then you will kike Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake books.

1911 the Gun that Changed the World of Handguns


It is quite true. The 1911 that John Moses Browning created is what all all modern autos are made from. From Glocks to the Beretta 92 F, all have some part of Browning gun. This gun was made due to failure of the 38 Long Colt in the Spanish American War. Somebody had the bright idea that the more rounds you can quickly pump into a person the quicker they will die. Although the idea is true the 38 Long Colt is a poor choice due to the round is far too weak. All it did was tick off the person and who still had enough left in him to kill his attacker. It was so bad that our military when back to the 45 Colt near the end of the war. In steps John Moses Browning with his 1911 to fill in the gap where the 38 Long Colt failed. The gun was originally meant to be a calvary gun but this soon became redundant. The gun shoots a 45 cal with a Full Metal Jacket 230 grain bullet that Browning made himself. The US military welcomed this gun before WWI has stayed in our military even though the M-9 has taken over as the primary sidearm. Can you say history repeating its self with the M-9? It is with this gun's primary round is where I get some of my names. If you wish to learn more check out some of my posts. Oh and yes that 1911-A1 is mine.

The only surving crew member is ...


Nero. Well not really. As some of you may know that I am taking things from the BBC show "Red Dwarf"and using it for titles. If you don't know the show about Dave Lister the only human alive on a ship call Red Dwarf, hence the name. The show starts out by introducing the crew members and their roles to what goes on in the show.
What has happened. During a radiation leak the entire crew was wiped out except for Dave Lister, a bum the lowest ranking man or being on the ship and had no goal in life until joining up. ArnoldJ. Rimmer, A hologram of a second tech with high hopes of becoming an officer but has failed 11 times running due to being mad with power and being a complete and total Smeg Head. Cat, thats right a cat but this cat doesn't just slink along his wardrobe would make your mother think she is conservative. Holly, the ship's computer with an I.Q. of 6000 which is the same I.Q. of 6000 P.E. teacher. Later the crew picks up Kryten, a series 3000 mechanode programed to clean but has been able to break his programing with help from Lister and is able to become more human. Kristine Kochanski, Navigation officer who Lister is in love with but can never seem to get his true feeling out for her.
If you ever get the chance and you like British comedies grab these!

This is an SOS from the mining ship...

Hello and welcome to "Gunmen of the Apocalypse." I usually go by the name Nero but am also known in other websites and forums as Nero45 (the 45 will be self explanatory later) and knightrider4545.
Now some may ask: "Why Gunmen of the Apocalypse?" Good question. This title fill all the things that I love. God, guns, westerns, suspense, computers, and last but not least Red Dwarf. The only things that it doesn't fill is humor unless you count some of the funner westerns.
So welcome again and enjoy your stay Pilgrim.
