Happy Birthday to me...
Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2013 8:57 pmI sit at a computer all day, working for a high tech outfit doing their best to make sure everyone can get to all their pics and videos from the Cloud. As a result I get exposed to some pretty neat stuff. And work with some pretty interesting concepts. Like numbering systems besides regular old decimal. So with my birthday coming I translated my age to hexadecimal. I'll be 40* on Thursday...
But I digress. I've been working on a little something for myself for this momentous occasion. A new 22 pistol. Paclite barrel, Volquartsen frame, trued and headspaced stainless bolt. Worst thing was trying to find a couple of magazines. Jeez... I'll probably ultimately put some sort of red dot on it, but my budget is blown for now. I have a set of simulated ivory grips, too, with red Ruger emblems that I may try, but that might be a bit much. I can't get out with it until Wednesday, but I'll let you know how it shoots.
*I figured it out in binary numbers too, but it was 1000000. I'm old but not that damn old..
