The post whore thread.

On a totally unrelated note, while sitting in the control room last night, I was minding my own business when my co-observer started screaming her head off in fear. I turn around and she's freaking out that there is a bird in the control room with us. He's flying back and forth across the room, so after trying to catch him, he starts seeing the moths (we had very high humidity last night, so it always stirs up the moths and we'll have hundreds in the room).

Then, he starts flying across the room and snatching the moths off the ceiling. At that point, we stopped trying to catch him and let him feast on the smorgasboard of moths all to himself.

After a while, when he was getting full we assume, he started walking around on the ground. We tossed a towel on top of him, and were able to take him outside safely. I set him down right next to a giant bug on the ground, he looked at it and walked away. Pretty sure he was totally full of moths lol

I failed astronomy 1000 in college the first time. I got an A the second time. I was average at astronomy.

Go bird GO!

Exactly! At first we were trying hard to get him out of the building, then when we saw he was taking care of our moth problem, we were all for him and started cheering when he caught a moth mid-air!


The day staff usually opens the front door and turns off all of the building lights in the morning. The moths see the daylight and fly outside, so there are usually at least 20-30 birds at the front door flying around catching breakfast. Some of them even know our building well enough that they'll fly in, eat a bunch of moths and fly out again. This one just got trapped or something, then it got dark and he couldn't find his way out.

thats what landlords are for..... HE put up the $$$.

Ah gotcha! Well all the better then!

just got a notice from Midway - 30 round pmags are available.

Yea, they've been available for about a week now. I'm going to swing by my LGS tomorrow before my MRI (if I wake up early enough that is) to look for a few things and if they don't have them, then I'll be placing an order with midway and grab a few extra pmags. I want 4 more M2's, and then I'll need to start collecting the M3s lol

eta: BCM has 30rd M2 Pmags in stock as well.

Psh, I REALLY want some PMag 40s! No one has them in stock because everyone in CO bought them up!

Though, I don't blame them. If I could have, I would have reserved as many pmags as possible and shipped them up there too. But now that its after July 1st, I don't feel so bad buying some pmags for myself.

i got a couple of 40s, i still need to get to the range to test one of them.

[BuffCyclist]

Awesome! They look kinda cool, almost like AK mags because they are so long. Not that I think AKs look cool at all, but on an AR, it does.
