[OREOSOME]

For my happy thing of the day, I've heard that school is being cancelled for tomorrow because of the expected snow. And I don't mind that at all. Oh, and I took part in my weekly dose of murderhoboing(read: Adventuring/D&D NOT MURDERING HOBOS) today.

[SealyStar]

This week the leetle keedz a grade below me have to take their ACTs and other tests. This means I get Tuesday off school entirely, and it's delayed two, three hours the next two days.

I plan on getting a lot of sleep in.

Eating homemade waffles.

He means in weight.

If I had that I could probably retire. Since instead I start my new route on Tuesday, nope :v

Have fun with a ton of copper. Outside it's material properties, it's not really all that valuable (and I think the Feds would complain about smelting/repurposing their money).

... it's about 3 USD/pound. Ton of copper'd be worth about 6k USD, which isn't exactly chump change. Not enough to retire, but you can live on that for a good several months without much trouble. You actually see folks stripping copper wire/piping from places to sell, heh.

If pennies were pure copper, they'd be worth more than their weight in pennies =p

... which they're not. Modern penny's mostly zinc. Older pennies, now, that are mostly copper...

my father does pipe work and refrigeration repairs so lots of copper scraps comes of our way. maybe 8 jobs and we got about a 180 bucks sitting in the garage.


Birthday has been fun, someone gifted me Strike Vector and watching myself fail completely at this game

For comparison, iron is $0.013 per pound.

Went to the gun range from some guys in the hall. Free, because ResLife gives us money for that kind of thing. For my first time shooting, I thought I did pretty good.

And wow, the difference between .22 and 9mm is huge. I sorta wish I had a chance to fire the .44, but time was up and I didn't want to drop a dollar a round out of pocket.

9mm is very weak compared to say a .44, that shit will knock on your hands.

This is why you always hear stories about people killing themselves trying to steal live wiring. Though I've heard a slightly less dark one from a friend in the construction business related to him from a customer about a pair of thieves who decided to steal some copper piping...which was still under pressure. They ended up flooding out a basement and didn't get away with anything.

Well, they would've if it wasn't for those meddlesome kids.

Oh yeah, I'm perfectly aware. Before firing the 9mm, literally the only firearms I had ever fired were the .22 revolver and a .22 semiauto earlier that night.

Shooting firearms is pretty neat and fun. Louder than I expected. I'm surprised that with my vision as it is, I can hit my target. Then again, more shots that hit were more instinct than eyes (in a way, I had to trust in myself that I would hit). Personally, I kinda like firing revolvers. They have a familiar feel to them.

Last time I went to a firing range, which was also my first time, was when my cousins came to visit a good year or two ago.

This. It seems like hitting the target is letting your body do the work, not aiming with your mind. I also have very poor vision (I'm nearsighted. As in, everything past 6 inches from my face is blurry and out of focus.) and I can accurately and consistently shoot target skeet as long as I don't really think about what I'm doing, and instead act on the instincts that present themselves.

[Sirus]

Had a good time firing a revolver at a range a few years back. Also got to shoot a semiautomatic, but the revolver was more fun.

Nearly got a chance to shoot a shotgun, but the relative who owned it didn't bring many shells and they were used up by the time it was my turn.

[Xantalos]

It's funny you all would mention that, because I had a dream last night in which I saw a trailer for Eversion 2. Quit agitating me when I'm in the Dreamlands, Xantalos. Just because your mind-blasting incomprehensibility is blunted by the divide between realms enough to not kill me instantly doesn't mean I want to look at your thoughts.

Oops, wrong target.
