BCM 14.5 lightweight upper and BCG
To justify getting an AR rifle, it needed to be legal to hunt with in Washington which requires at least a .240 caliber rifle. That led me right to the AR-10. Of course, as I researched and built that rifle I came to the conclusion that I really needed and AR-15 too. Honestly, who doesn’t.
I wanted something small and light which meant a 14.5″ barrel with a permanently mounted flash hider. Talking to the local dealer it became clear that was a hassle. Enter BCM.
At just the right time their lightweight 14.5 uppers became available and I bought it as fast as I could… They typically don’t last long. I also included the BCM BCG as it too is a quality piece of hardware.
I bought it on Saturday and it was in the mail on Monday and at the house on Friday.
The quality is amazing and the freebies, including the hat are great. Below are some pictures.

Royal Caribbean Rocks (sort of)
Took a five night Mediterranean cruise on the Adventure of the Seas and had a great time. I’d highly recommend it to anyone as long as you stay in the lines.
We had an issue with scheduling a private party. We had a receipt with confirmation number and they claimed no record of it and refused to help. After some heated words they finally got their act together and pulled the party off at the last minute. They were exceptionally and embarrassingly unprofessional. But other than that, oh, and the mysterious credit card charges you always get on cruises, it was a great time.
Here’s the ship (picture stolen and cropped from another site, as we seemed to have failed to get a picture of the whole ship…)

Bought an iPad last month…
…and its awesome. The perfect Internet Read Only device. It’s clear that we’ll be buying more of them and Apple owns the mobile future (iPhone 4 problems not withstanding.)
Don’t sweat the morons complaining about multithreading support or its closed nature. Simply encourage them to build their own mobile platform. Until then, Apple has an extremely compelling device.
