The much-vaunted novel that I've often talked about is entering a critical stage; I've got nineteen chapters knocked out - ten to fifteen pages per - although the plotline just vectored off ninety degrees so I'm dealing with that.
At the same time I just picked up a contract that will involve 12-hour days out to the end of August, 10-hour days from then till the end of November. Something's got to give. A good friend in the writing business told me that the Era of Blogging is over, that we are now in the Era of Twitter. That may be, and so I invite you to join me on my Twitterfeed: @sean_linnane
In the meantime here are some nice photos & accompanying thoughts to occupy your time - S.L.
Some Recent Acquisitions:
My part of the Great American Gun Grab of 2013.
Ruger Mini-14 and Para GI LTC
I went with the Mini-14 over an AR because of cost, and at the end of the day you get the same thing; a very business-like 5.56mm carbine that doesn't have the sinister vibe of the Little Black Devil Rifle.
My latest 1911 is the Para GI LTC, a compact version of the Para GI Expert. It came with two 8-round magazines so now I'm up to toting sixteen rounds of .45 ACP versus the twelve I used to carry for the Colt compact model. My buddy Doubletapper says he always carries two 32-round magazines for his Glock 17. I told him if I need more than sixteen rounds, I'm in the wrong movie. Doubletapper said his motto is: "It's better to run out of Tangos than to run out of ammo."
When I thought that over, it became obvious I need to beef up my concealed carry system.
Ruger 10/22, sniperized with 25 round magazine. All it takes is a coke bottle, some rubber as a bushing and a hoseclamp = Silent Death.

The Jungle Room:
That ... THING ... in the middle of the photo is Yogi, my pet Wookie. Over to the right is Puppy Dog, border collie with human-like emotions. Tiny the Jack Russell Terrorist is burrowed deep down beneath the poncho liner.
This is where I do my contemplative thinking, and where a great deal of STORMBRINGER is written, surrounded by the souvenirs of a lifetime in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. This is where I am completing the aforementioned novel; there are nineteen chapters already written - I just need to tweak it a bit.
The purpose of the Warrior Gym is to transform our bodies into Living Weapons Systems:
Always keep your training areas neat & clean; this is the most important room in your house, and this is a sign of professionalism.

Sean, when I told this one ol' boy about hi-cap mags he asked "uh, you plan on missin' a lot?"
ReplyDeleteLike Doubletapper says, "Better to run out of Tangos than to run out of bullets."
Deletesaid the man, with a shooting hobby to channel anger, is that true?
ReplyDeleteIt ain't about anger. If anything it's about freedom. Don't have any anger issues. Got a LOT of freedom issues!!!
DeleteI like Doubletapper's motto.
ReplyDeleteGreat pad. Looks like the optimal man cave. Nice Mini-14 too. Went with same. Both for the cost reason and the reliability reason. Got the regular ranch rifle then added a black synthetic Hogue stock. And then a barrel strut just for show - although I think it does help with the longer ranges.
ReplyDeleteGreat dogs. The work out gear could use a tune up, though. ;)
/let us all know the date of the book-party BBQ
I nervously look at guns .. if holding a gun, I was also nervous and would shoot anything that I should not shoot
ReplyDeleteThank you, your article is very good
