Haven't quite decided if I'm going to take Monday off. Tuesday is the Fed. holiday. A project leader gave me an impossible deadline and then she proceeded to take a three week vacation... so it's not like she'll notice if I'm not there on Monday. heh.

I sent in my "taking off Monday" email today. Since I got no complaints I'm assuming they don't care.

Of course if they did tell me to come in I would just call in sick Monday. Visits from my sweetheart don't come very often and four day visits! Almost never.

I picked up some 5.7x28 ammo for my PS90! It's on the far right, next to (from left to right) 7.62mm, 5.56mm, .45ACP, 9mm,.22 Hornet, .22 LR (the rare FMJ round used in suppressed military weapons to comply with The Hague Convention), and the FN 5.7x28. Cute little bugger, ain't it?

I believe the energy is slight more than the 45 Auto, and it also works in the FN FiveseveN handgun.

This is how it looks in the weird P90 magazine. Each round is turned 90 degrees in two steps to get it pointing down the bore for loading.

I'm hoping to fire of 50 (one mag's worth, $22) this weekend.

Good evening, folkses. Been a bit of a crazy day and tomorrow will be crazier. We're moving about thirty computers to a different building, plus servers 'n that. Fun. Especially since not all printers, for example, will be in the same proximity to the same 'puters as they were before, so we have all that to set up, plus the inevitable ports that won't work and things that get lost and...all that.

But I'm rather looking forward to it. Sick.

$22.00 for one mag full? (hmmm) I presume it's reloadable? (hmmm) however life's too short to shoot cheap ammo.
(did I really say that? )- as I scrape the verdigris off .22LR shells I got a good deal on them.

Kudos, we hope for a range report in the not too distant future.

we heard about the 'hot wire' testing. :-)

If you start getting too many squirrels, you can hang it across the clearing and use the .17 HMR.
