    According to my low tech rain gauge we have gotten almost 7 inches of rain in the last 6 days.

    Also looks like some crop damage for some local farmers.

    to play fair broker, our sample size was three cans. It was enough to look elsewhere.

    Haven't seen that with my 762-SDN6.

    Not shooting competition, but I will have to monitor it. I probably care less for the 556-SD, it's a lower cost, less finished can than the others anyway.

    If I was shooting competitively, I would not use QD mounts anyway.

    Certain QD moutns do pretty well. ThunderBeast is one that I know does very well.

    I use thread-on cans and then use a birdcage as a thread protector. I have tested the POI repeatability when I take the can off and then put it back on. If a can is installed and then removed, it's important to know where that POI has shifted to. It's something that I just got into testing in teh last month. Believe it or not, my little Gemtech suppressor isn't that bad about POI shift. It gets a little taxing to take it on and off (because it's not a 'QD' per say), but other than that I don't mind. It's nice to know where the bullet is going to go.

    pretty dead in here....

    I had a very exciting afternoon... filled with calendars, telling a light-bird, "No I'm not gonna do it." and then (unrelated) my Soldier being the recipient of domestic violence. awesome.......

    Going to be filmed for training twice this week. Should finish up my 40 hour course and test tonight. Then I can actually leave my dang hotel room for a few nights instead of being couped up every evening. I guess I should get that over with right now, so I can relax/celebrate. Also, seeing if I can loose 5lbs while I'm hear. I was at a record low weight (over the last 5 years or so anyway) before I left.

    OH YEAH! So you know how we sold our apartment building on Friday? Well, we sold it as a package deal with 3 other buildings. Someone was shot and killed in the hallway of one of those 3 other buildings last night. Baby Daddy shot Boyfriend, allegedly. Welcome to the neighborhood, new owners.
