Thursday Local Time

•Spent 2 weeks driving around in pinner Israeli rental cars. Got back home, climbed inside Zoom, keyed him up, fired his accelerator, and thought, HOLY SHIT THIS TRUCK IS A BEAST. So I've renamed him The Beast. RIP little boy Zoom, you're all grown up now & Daddy is proud.

•Have a strong yen to buy an SKS. BIG 5 has Yugo models on sale for $399 this week. The Yugo models are supposed to be good, with machined/milled parts & a positive track record. Better even than some Chinese models. All I can think about is buying one, stripping it, sanding & re-oiling the wood furniture, cleaning & oiling the entire assembly, & carefully putting it back together again, with a sling attached. They are butt ugly little bastards, but they are work horses & tin can ammo is cheap. Poor man's AK-47. No need to worry about dents & scratches, the fuckers will last a hundred years if you keep them oiled. & the bayonets, I love those fucking things. When the ammo dries up after TSHTF you still have the folding bayonet to fight with. If I lived in Nevada I'd swap out the box mag for a drum mag & convert to full auto.

•Word is that the current administration is working behind the scenes to institute gun control.

•In Israel, rehydration salts afforded me almost instant relief from headache & muscle ache associated with dehydration.

•Some run-flat tires weigh more than regular tires. One set weighs more than 4 regular tires + a spare...

• time to catch some Zs
