[bit.ly]

Not to sound like a whiner but,
as some of you know I have been trying my best to make positive changes, drinking green smoothies, eating lots of veggies, trying to get some daily exercising in, learning about nutrition and real organic whole foods, ditching the "diet junk" etc... and have been having very limited if any results.

I would love to go to this reboot camp, but being a full time student with a part time job,,, etc... money is tight, plus saving up for my wedding May 2014.

I have been over weight since I was 10 years old.
I have been hospitalized 5 times in the last 3 years due to health problems that are exaggerated by my weight. I need to get this under control before it causes my early demise.

Anyway,
I would love to walk down the aisle a thinner healthier man.
I'm going to do this with or without the camp but this camp could help me learn a thing or two.

Thanks.

And here we go...

#10 - You can trade an old 44 for a new 32 or 22

#9 - You can keep one gun at home and have another for when you're on the road.

#8 - If you admire a friend's gun and tell him so, he will probably let you try it out a few times.

#7 - Your primary gun doesn't mind if you keep another gun for a backup.

#6 - Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.

#5 - A gun doesn't take up a lot of closet space.

#4 - Guns function normally every day of the month..

#3 - A gun doesn't ask, "Do these new grips make me look fat?"

#2 - A gun doesn't mind if you go to sleep after you use it.

And the Number One reason Why Some Men Prefer Guns over women.....


#1- You can buy a silencer for a gun.]]> Jose5 Every Day Carry by BobbyMikeSat, 02 Feb 2013 21:18:28 -0500 http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/read.php?96,466353,466353#msg-466353 http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/read.php?96,466353,466353#msg-466353Then I went to a gun warehouse just to look. I had wanted this particular model for some time. Well of course they had it on sale and it was going to end the next day. It is a Sig Sauer SP2022 .40 cal. It is an awesome gun with plenty of impact. It has a 3.9” barrel and is between a full size and a compact. Great size, feel and weight.
Needless to say, looks like I will have to start saving up again.









I also just ordered this very cool Blackhawk Serpa CQC paddle lock holster.

January 2012: my trusted Nokia N900 had to go for repair and Nokia Care said it would take a long time for the spare parts to arrive. So I bought the N9. The design was a real novelty and I still think it is one of the most beautiful phones out there.

March 2012: bought the Nokia 500 in order to see/experience the Symbian operating system for a last time. Call it technological nostalgia. Nokia said to support Symbian until 2016. The last firmware upgrades Belle FP1 (Carla) and FP2 (Donna) are being rolled out now.

June 2012: bought the Galaxy S3 - the Ferrrari of Android phones. This is my first Android phone and it was like a dream come true. Feature packed and fun to use. It felt like a different world compared to the Meego N9.

November 2012: I was curious to see what a mid-range Android phone would offer in comparison to the Galaxy S3: the new htc Desire X (at half of the price of the Galaxy S3 unlocked) seemed like a good choice. And after a week of owning it, I am very pleasantly surprised. At half the price of the Nokia N9 and the Galaxy S3, this is a great phone from htc. Sure it can not do everything the Galaxy S3 can, but at 50% of the cost, it is a real winner.

How many and what phones are in your rotation?]]> Reto Every Day Carry by BobbyMikeThu, 09 May 2013 00:01:27 -0400 http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/read.php?96,457618,457618#msg-457618 http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/read.php?96,457618,457618#msg-457618

So, I was surprised the other day to see local ebay sellers selling what looked like the same product for a measly $10 and I ordered one quick-smart. The design is super cool!

It comes as a flat card the same size as a credit card and 2mm thick:



You disengage the rotating safety stud, releasing the blade which swings up:



Then you wrap the sides around which clip together and lock the blade in the extended position:



And 'voila', one very sturdy, extremely sharp knife!



On closer inspection the ones available here seem to be a generic rip-off of the originals - this is a shame but a) they're all I can get here and b) it's actually quite well made, especially the blade. subjectsmiley01!]]> JY Every Day Carry by BobbyMikeSun, 04 Nov 2012 12:38:20 -0500 http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/read.php?96,453595,453595#msg-453595 http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/read.php?96,453595,453595#msg-453595While I'm not really a knife collector, I do occasionally purchase a knife here and there. This Gil Hibben custom original caught my eye and here it is!

It's the Dahl Sheepshorn Hunter. Entirely handmade by Gil, handle is sheepshorn. A friend of mine is friends with Gil and has seen his house and workshop in Kentucky. This did not influence my decision to purchase this knife other than I know Gil has a good reputation in the knife world and I really loved this design. It's absolutely beautiful in person!

From the description of the app:
Which cities you have covered now? London, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Louisville, Miami, New York, Newark-Jersey City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose and Seattle.

Why would Nokia invest so much money into an application like this one? I am quite sure that Nokia is preparing software to finally make a stand in the US market with the new Windows Phone 8 phones (Lumia 920, Lumia 800). So right now Nokia N9 (Meego, linux based OS) are the guinea pigs for this marvelous app.

To me the most amazing feature is that you can SEE your navigation route in the panorama view. Well, for Google Streetview users this is nothing new. Google maps allows you to see your blue route when in street view mode.

You can also prefetch the panaromas you are going to need beforehand so save data costs.

What is a new feature is that you see shop/business signs as an overlay in the panoramas, of course clickable to get more info.

I've been carrying it for a little over a month and so far I'm pretty thrilled with it.

I usually carry a 13" laptop. It's designed for a 14" so I can carry it in it's sleeve if I feel it needs additional protection. I got the cell phone holster, which is very secure and handy. Once I got all my individual pieces of gear situated in the individual pockets, it's become pretty intuitive when I reach for a specific piece of gear. It even has pockets for two full sized water bottles. It even has a concealed pocket that can accommodate a concealed carry weapon (too bad I live in the People's Republik of Kalifornia).

It´s a Gerber Gator II, US made, feels very solid and nicely made. Someone took care to build it right. I really like the shape and flow of the knife, and it is very ergonomic to handle. The opening and closing action is silky smooth. And, it´s hair flinging, shaving sharp. Came that way from the factory, and still is. The way knifes are supposed to be. I used to touch up the one I carried with a small ceramic stick, and it just needed a few swipes to put back the factory edge even after hard use.

The price was a proverbial bargain all things considered. I don´t remember the exact sum but in PMWF-terms it surely was in the price range most of us could afford.]]> PN Every Day Carry by BobbyMikeSat, 08 Sep 2012 07:03:22 -0400 http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/read.php?96,442252,442252#msg-442252 http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/read.php?96,442252,442252#msg-442252
