I switched up the razor and blade to add a little zesty changeup. The blade was a little harsh and for some reason my brain thought it would be brilliant to ride the bar. While not the worst idea ever, it would've been a better idea to ride the cap with all the aggressiveness. Oh well. I'm almost BBS and I smell phenomenal.
New Deftones album! I'm a few days late getting to it, but I enjoyed it during my shave and on the way to work. The song above is a banger in my books.
I keep going back and forth on picking up a polymer pistol frame to start a build with. A few years ago I helped out a guy that built guns around the corner from my station and my apartment, so I'm super familiar with building things. The hardest part is gonna be actually buying it because of the wait, but even that part is easy because I don't have another other parts to start installing. I hope you're all well. Thanks for reading, Cadre.
Are you planning on doing a 80% frame? I did a 1911 pistol a while back and it turned out nice.
I was thinking about it, but I don't have space to finish it at my apartment and I don't want to do it at work because reasons. I have a paperweight in the shape of an AR 80% lower receiver that I'll get to eventually. A good 1911 80% is somewhere on the horizon too.

Sweet! Do we have a firearms section (I hadn’t looked)?
I think there is one Tim.
I was thinking about that the other day. If there is, it's in the depths. We might have to resurrect that thread.
Well now I am all for that. This super model has a few talents...armourer would be one of them. If its polymer I would go Glock frame because you can customize it 50 ways from Sunday...only 33 parts max Hermano...you can get that done in an afternoon with minimal (if any) part fitting....but what cal? 1911 are always classic...
Oh and you smell awesome!

I’ll look around.
I've been eyeing a Ghost Grey Precision compact frame. It takes Glock gen 3 parts, but the customization is what draws me to it. I can get a stock G19 gen 5 for just over $500. I'd spend more on the customization, but it'd also be exactly what I want from top to bottom.Well now I am all for that. This super model has a few talents...armourer would be one of them.

I couldn't find anything in Other Interests. Might've missed it, though. If it doesn't exist, I think it'll be cool to ask the bosses nicely if we can talk about firearms around here as long as we keep it civil.
It's been a while since I've been to the range too. Well over a year. But there's a range being built within walking distance from my apartment.Building your own gun sounds like a lot of fun! Reminds me I still haven’t gotten out to the range with my HK yet.
I don’t think I’ve seen a thread pop up on the subject before but arms do get brought up here n there in random posts.

We recently lost our range. My dad had 125 acres and has recently sold all but 12 acres. I told him I need a berm at the back of the new property line, so we’ll see what happens.
Not every gun is perfect for you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Give me a shovel and the beer I asked you to hold for me a few weeks ago, and I'll get it taken care of!

I opted to sleep in a few extra minutes so that's shave was a little more rushed than the past few. I remembered to ride the cap and it was so much more comfortable and enjoyable. Right Handed Giant is chugging right along, and the mark I made is well above where the soap is now.
The past few days have been exhausting so they're all merging into one big blur. I worked 10 hours of OT yesterday, which wasn't the worst thing ever, but it was exhausting not really having any down time to rest my eyes. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow and Sunday, it's been a long week. I hope you're all well. Thanks for reading, Cadre.

The "Friday" comments had me cracking up.
As for the OT, I would guess that many of us have had our share of stupidly long days. At least you get a break right now to recover. Rest up, ducky one.
