|The Inside-out cup

DSCN0745This cup represent of one hour of my life, the time it took me to turn this standard foam cup into an achievement and one check off the bucket list. I turned this cup inside out, even the rim, which is the hardest part, without putting any kind of hole or crack in it. When I was all done, I put it to the ultimate test, I filled it with fruit punch and not a drip was to be found. That was the most satisfying cup of fruit punch!

|Refurbished .22 Rifle

DSCN0737 Here is a picture of my Dad’s old .22 rifle he had since he was in high school (he’s 58 now). I was sick of seeing it just sit in my closet. I wanted to see it fire, so I took it apart and sprayed it’s inners with some WD 40, then blew out all the residue with an air compressor. Then, I oiled up all of the moving parts inside, like the firing pin and ejector. I also took off the stock and fore-end, stripped them down, re-stained them, and put a few coats of Birchwood Casey gun stock finish. It shoots and looks better than ever. Now all I need to do is get a nice scope.

|Mud Champs

IMG_20130721_154714Here’s a picture of me and my friends after we dominated a mud race on Sunday. I’m the one second from the left, I came in second. Noah, the one second from the right, came in first. The two others came in like fourth or sixth. It was extremely fun and brutal at the same time, there were about 40 people in the race and the girls got a three step head-start. We ran after mud trucks raced through so there were a bunch of holes and divots under the mud we couldn’t see. I didn’t come to the mud pit to race, but after I saw the little kids run it changed my mind. Good thing I ran because I ended up winning twelve bucks for finishing second. If you ever have the chance to run in a mud race I would highly recommend racing (and bringing some spare clothes).

|Close your eyes

The other day someone said to me “close your eyes”. So I got thinking you don’t actually close your eyes, your eyelids just move over your eyeball, otherwise would you close your eyeball? Your eyeball doesn’t stop looking your eyelids just cover your eyeballs. So, it really should be cover your eyes, or close your eyelids.

|Why Hamburger?

Originally, the term hamburger derives from Germany’s second largest city, Hamburg, from which many people immigrated to the United States. Burg means fortified settlement or refuge in High German. In German, Hamburger can be a descriptive noun referring to someone from Hamburg (i.e. London → Londoner) or an adjective describing something from Hamburg. Similarly, names like frankfurter and wiener, other meat-based foods, are used also in Germany and Austria as descriptive nouns for people and as adjectives for things from the cities of Frankfurt and Wien, a province of Vienna, respectively.

|Ironman 3 -Review

Iron-Man-3-Officila-Movie-TrailerThis is the first movie of the Ironman franchise I have seen at the theater, worth the money. It has a fairly good a fairly good, engaging storyline. The computer graphics are mind-blowing (in the credits there are like, 150+people who do the CG alone). Good movie overall, definitely worth the time and money. I’m no real critic, but if I had to rate it I would put it at 3 out of 4 stars. Also, hang around until the first AND second wave of credits are through, there’s a short video following, typical of a Marvel film.

|Sniper Rifle, or Sniper’s Rifle?

This is a picture of a Sniper’s Rifle.

Is there even such a thing as a sniper rifle? Or is it a sniper’s rifle? Whenever you see the title of a rifle it never says: “Remington T96 Bolt Action Sniper Rifle”. So, there is really no such thing as a sniper rifle. A sniper is the person who shoots the rifle. So that would make it the sniper’s rifle, meaning: a rifle belonging to a sniper.  Please Comment.
