Random Ramblings

Have you ever had, you payed for a Cd, but never have gotten the CD?
I'm waiting for a CD from the begin of July.
I wonder ... I wonder.

Yep, I preorded 2 cds from PledgeMusic and never got them.  I at least got MP3 files of one of the albums (but I paid for the CD).

Hopefully it wasn't a David Benson CD

 No, I watched too many people complain over the years about not getting their stuff from David B. (or getting it several months later) that I have never ordered any cds directly from him (got any of my David Benson cds from a regular distro)

I ordered the 3rd Inglorious CD and the most recent Last In Line albums through the PledgeMusic campaigns and never got either cd.  Finally ordred the Last In Line cd from Amazon (so I paid twice for it) and just settled with the MP3 files for the Inglorious album.  Promised I would never back another campaign again after that.....but then I just did it again last month (but with Kickstarter).

What did you think of that Inglorious album? After the first two being so good the third one felt a little meh, not bad but the songs didn't grab me as much.

I hope they send the CD soon.

I agree for the most part.  I thought the best song on the album was the one they didn't even write.  A few other really cool tunes, but nearly half of it seemed a bit like filler.  Not horrible by any means, just not as good as the first two albums.

Have you contacted the place you ordered the album from.  I had an album that didn't show up for several weeks after it was supposed to have been sent, and the seller sent me another one.

I have ordered this Cd by the band.
At the end of July I've sent a message to ask about the CD.
But no answer.

Looks like school is back in session up here.

We've been back in for three weeks already!  The countdown has begun for our Labor Day three-day weekend.  Then, we will start dreaming of fall break.

My wife and I are just outside Roanoke, VA tonight.  You may remember that I came up to visit my aging aunt and uncle back in June.  Sadly, my aunt passed away Monday and we are here for the visitation tonight and funeral tomorrow.

Sorry to hear, praying for your family.

Hurricane season has returned. So far this one looks like it will head north once it makes landfall. Good for me, bad for them but I had my turn last year. We can't take another hit in this area. As a precaution I gassed up my cans and stocked up on water and supplies.

That's a bummer.  Can I ask, was she a follower of Christ?  Do you know how old she was? (I only ask because my wife's Grandmother is like 96 now).

My Aunt was definitely a follower of Christ.

She turned 79 back in July.  My Uncle is 84.

Busy weekend for me.
Levi and his parents stay for supper tonight.
Levi stays for one nigh with opa and oma.
Tomorrow we're making a walk by a castle.
Then we have BBQ.

Today I'm busy to make potatoe salad and cole salad.
Tomorrow the rest.

Chris sorry your aunt passed away.
Prayers for the family.

Sounds like a great weekend!

Ooooooh, I love some good bar-b-que, cole slaw, and potato salad.  Are you sure you haven't moved to the southern part of the USA?  With some souther sweet tea, you have a southern tradition right there!



On the way back from Virginia, we dashed into Pigeon Forge to eat at Big Daddy's Pizzeria.  They have some good pizza that just tastes different than what we have at home.

Then we went to the Beef Jerky store.  I bought some meat sticks that have things like elk, alligator, deer, kangaroo, etc. as part of the meat.  They are mostly pork, but the exotic blend sure gives them a unique taste.  I love the flavor, but the pictures of the animals that are blended in gross most people out.   That makes them fun to eat as well!

We also walked around Bass Pro Shop.  I wanted to look at a 38 Special (the pistol, not the band).  People keep telling me to get a .380, but they just don't seem to fit my hand.  A .38 feels good in my hand.  Yes, I know you don't get as many shots with a revolver as you do a semi-automatic.  But, with firearms, you have to first be comfortable with the weight and feel of the weapon.  If the gun is so small that my pinky goes under the grip, I just don't feel comfortable shooting that firearm.

You also don't have to worry about a revolver jamming.

As long as you keep your thumb and face out of the way.

Wow I didn't know 38 Special was hanging out at Bass Pro. Oh wait nevermind. Holdin' on loosely

Keep your weapon clean and buy good ammo and your semi-automatic won't jam either.  I have a Ruger .22, a Ruger 9mm, and a Hi-point 9mm.  If cleaned frequently, oiled semi-regularly, and keep good brands of ammo, they don't jam.  That's bad news for paper targets and perhaps those bad guys who buy guns off the radar so they can get into all sorts of evil deads.  Hopefully, I will carry mine for a lifetime without ever needing to do more than kill paper targets.

I think the Glock 9mm is the most comfortable pistol made and it's super easy to use. I'm with you about hoping paper targets are all I need to take out.
