For those of you I somehow forgot to tell, I have joined the Texas Army National Guard. I thought I had told everyone, but I am continually finding people who don't know. I am sure even now someone will learn about it from this post. If this is the first you have heard about it, I am sorry about that. I thought for sure you knew.

Today, I am shipping out for 12 weeks of training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. While at training I won't be using my phone or internet and I will only be allowed to write and receive letters. If for some reason I do get my phone it will only be for a few minutes, so I won't bother checking my voice mail. The hardest part is going to be spending time away from my family, but missing my friends will be near the top of that list. My wife will be posting my address on facebook after she gets it, so if you would like to write me I would be happy to have the "company".

Until then I will miss you all.

I just purchased isadirtyoldman.com. Why? Because now I can do this

Spring is here and with that comes the responsibility to grow into my dream of becoming a dirty old man. This is the first step!

Here is a cool utility showing different ammuntions and there stopping power based on actual shootings. The data is based on a book that I haven't read yet that can be found at http://stoppingpower.net.

Lately the problem I have been having is finding the ammo I want. So let me know if you find Hydra Shock in 380 or 9mm +P+.

I wonder if it comes in camo.
