Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes and Big Pharma Rant

By Vince at July 1, 2015 | 2:09 pm | 0 Comment

My daughter is a Type 1 juvenile diabetic. Diagnosed at age 7, she is now 24. That diabetes is “inherited” has been disproved years ago. It is not hereditary. Neither my wife, nor myself, have a family history of diabetes. At present no one knows why people get diabetes. You can have a propensity for […]

Some thoughts…in general…

By Vince at June 27, 2015 | 10:11 am | 0 Comment

Personally, I don’t believe a person should define themselves by their sexuality. You are who you are. Be who you are, but you really don’t need to push it on me or anyone else. There is no “straight”, “gay” or “trans”. There is only YOU. Those who know me, understand that I could care less […]

Musings after time away

By Vince at December 5, 2014 | 11:59 am | 0 Comment

First, my apologies for my time away to those who follow me here. Frankly, I was moving about more than anticipated, rent raised beyond what we were comfortable paying, moving to a new rental place…about 1500 sq. ft. smaller than the old place, so much smaller that we actually had to get rid of […]

Steel Targets

For quite a few years now I’ve wanted to get some steel targets. Then I found an ad on of all places, FaceBook. This is a company out of California called AR500-Targets.com. They carry a large variety of steel targets and accessories. In this case it was a special FB only sale and a code/link […]

I became part of a pass around of an Omnivore Blade-Works tomahawk on a forum I’ve been a part of since inception (Usualsuspect.net). Two packages of hawks went out in June of 2011 and I after a true odyssey the hawk finally made it to me in May of 2013! I am the eleventh person […]

Grand Master Richard Crabbe DeBordes

By Vince at May 12, 2012 | 2:49 pm | 0 Comment

I just had the pleasure (and pain) of spending some time training with Pendekar Richard Crabbe DeBodes and was very impressed with his Harimau. It was quite different from the previous styles of Silat that I’ve been exposed to and personally trained. For some background, Pencak Silat is basically an all encompassing name for the […]

Proper Handgun Grip

By Vince at April 26, 2012 | 3:42 pm | 1 Comments

Actually holding onto a handgun seems to be a severe issue for many beginners. Even many who have been shooting for years can have issues with it. In this video, I help out a young lady with her grip. The pistol is a Glock 23 initially. I later changed out to a full size […]

Check your ammo…and your gun!!

The other day on the range, I was one of the range masters that day. One of the shooters calls me over. His brand new AR-15 rifle is jammed. This happens from time to time on a brand new firearm, especially during the break in period. So I went over and looked at it. […]

Reading

Does what you read at an early age influence you? I will say right here and now that I have NOT done any in depth study on how the psyche is developed in children and young adults. Or, dare I say it, in adults? Aren’t we still growing as we get older? Still learning? I […]

Emerson Knives Grand Opening

By Vince at March 5, 2012 | 10:57 am | 0 Comment

I’ve known Ernest Emerson and his family for a long time now, for well over 10 years, although lately due to finances and distance we haven’t been able to get together. I also know that Ernest Emerson makes a superlative knife. Ernest has prided himself for years that his knives are made right here in […]
