On the divergence of differing differences...

One day, a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber said, "I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week." The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a "Thank You" card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.Later, a cop came in for a haircut, and, when he reached for his wallet to pay his bill, the barber said, '"'I...

Valour-IT Days

If you’ve come here more than once, you know that we here at the Castle (with the exception of one incorrigible but delightful Sailor Doxie) are solidly Team Army.*hastily shoving DocLady Sly back behind the drapes and pushing Dusty back into the U-Toob vid*Which, considering the hits we took for the Team during our respective times, is only fitting.But this small blurb isn’t about those of us who took hits for the Team. It’s about those who took hits for *all* of us. Not just Team...

Castle ***

Bill is off being a hero. I'm playing with my toys. Hmmm. There's something vaguely disturbing about that, but I think I won't dwell on it. Gun Platform, Phase II, complete.

TINS! Sing A Song Of Singers

Now, as the grognards will attest (in case you still haven’t figured out how to tell just when I am and when I’m *not* pulling your leg), the Singer Sewing Machine Company *did*, in fact, produce a bunch of M1911A1 pistols for the Army in 1940. What the grognards sometimes overlook is that the Singer Sewing Machine Company manufactured more Singer Sewing Machine Company-manufactured Singer Sewing Machines than Singer Sewing Machine Company-manufactured M1911A1s.I will attempt to rectify...

Yesterday, the ammo. Today, the rifle.

And, I'm still phoning it in as a mirror for Strategy Page... Finally Fixing The M4 Carbine by James DunniganOctober 4, 2010The U.S. Army has begun delivering upgrade kits for its M4 carbines. The kits replace the barrel, receiver and auto-loading system with one that is easier to keep clean. There is also a heavier barrel and the ability to fire full automatic. There are also stronger rails on top of the barrel, for mounting scopes and such. The army is distributing at least 10,000 of these...

Life goes on.

I have removed the stitch. This incident is now closed . For my next trick: A gun platform is being built. This so that the Mountain Howitzer of Argghhh! won't list quite so drunkenly, nor be in ground contact. This involves the tractor, the Ranger, shovels, cement blocks, saws, drills, ratchets... and splintery wood beams and planks permeated by poisons. Not to mention schlepping the gun around. Yes, the Emergency Room has been put on notice, and extra suture kits laid out. Your concern is touching...

Dog Day Afternoon

Best buds. Molly provides a warm little pocket of happiness for Suellen. And the excessive cuteness of it all melts an Armorer's heart. Damncat sez, "Attention whorez."

If you're going to go...

...and it can't be in bed after a long, full life, surrounded by friends and family, then to go down fighting, screaming defiance at your foe, that is the way to go - as the Man in the Arena:It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again...

"Incoming! Incoming! Incoming!"

The klaxon and the announcement came from the speakers about 300 meters away, and when we heard the booms from the rockets a few seconds later, we started to uncrouch.Which is exactly the time the *second* “Incoming! Incoming! Incoming!” sounded. This time, from the speakers directly *overhead*.I thought, “Another one?” and a split second later, I got my answer.WHITEFLASH-BIGBANG!I felt a whack, then dust and smoke and cordite stink swirled thick around me and…Remember...

It's all about your attitude.

Attitude matters. This is one example.There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, rouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig. "Well, whatcha gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears. "Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can`t stand to see a man crying.""This is the worst day of my life," I say. "I'm a complete failure. I was late to...
