That's pretty innocuous stuff there Chris. Their stated intent is to attract more women to hunting, and if it works, so much the better.

Wilson has been a pretty strong advocate for 2A, so if it gives her a Win and wind in her sails it's a good, no?

[MadPick]

I'm with you on "fuckstain," Chris, but I do think that Jim has a valid point.

[TechnoWeenie]

Lets just say...if the roles were reversed the headlines would have been way different, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton would be running their mouths and there'd be riots.

I thought it was odd race of the child wasn't mentioned when the story came out.

Not that it matters to me ....but it sure does to the MSM and Democrats when its reversed.

No mention of Hate Crime.

The Hypocracy is sickening.

Oh he threw a white kid off, what, 3 stories? Ain't got time for that fake news.

It's a lot worse than that.

He told police that he went to the mall that day to kill someone. And that he intentionally picked up the kid and threw him over the guardrail.

The news media is calling it an incident, or an accident.

It's fucking attempted murder. And the guy already admitted to it. Yet, the media still spends it like it was just some accidental thing.

No, only in bed or concert!! stick with da damn orange! pretty soon your gonna want the damn unicorn which is just an just a plain fat rino.

Ok, buckle in, this is going to be a long(ish) ride:

On the FOURTH of this month I sent payment for some fireplace mantle parts I needed milled and pre-finished. Sent the check by phone the way you young folks with your new-fangled "more efficient" ways are wont to do.

Hell yes it was efficient; they had the funds out of my account before I checked my next email... No "thank you"... and no confirmation we got it. I looked at my balance to see if payment went through.

At the time I ordered I asked the nice lady how long it would take to produce. "6 to ten days."

So in the meantime I did the sanding and the priming that needed done and then commenced to sitting on my hands to wait for the balance of the parts... Waited a full ten office/week days, I did. And close to the end of business on the 10th day I sent a email note to the nice lady:

"I know it's late in the day and you may not have the opportunity to check today to see about my part, but would you kindly do so, puh-leez, come Monday next?... I never got a confirmation or an invoice/order number from you, so I trust you will be able to look it up referencing my name. The check cleared on the 4th. Thank you, g'bye"

Monday, bright, I got a email response from the factory lady and a duplicate response from the nice saleslady: "It's ready! Will be here settin' by the door for ye so's you don't have to wait!"

So I picked it up. Came home and once the weather cleared (today) I dragged my table-y saw outside and commenced to cutting up my parts in preparation for installation AND to get me a small sample for the paint store guys to match so I could make other parts the same color as the new pre-finished ones...

Went to the Sherwin Williams store over to Bothell. It's the store that boasts of being the paint store of PROFESSIONALS... and they'z always buggin' me to come in so they can take care of my needs. So I goes ther.

Guv the guy my sample for him to match and asked him to make me an aerosol can of spray type painty-paint. He said, "sorry, old timer, we don't do that".

I said: "Hunh... the good ole Parker Paints that used to sit in this very building and served just fine until you guys bought them out, THEY used to make aerosol cans for a guy."

"Ok, then, make it brush on paint and may as well make it water based since I'm going to be disappointed anyway. Do you sell pints?"

"Nope, just quarts, for near $30 dawlirs" (I'm paraphrasing a bit)

"Ok. Guess I need a quart."

He levels a gaze at me and asks: "When do you want to pick it up?"

I explained that I was happy to wait for him to mix it and he says "Nope. It takes a DAY to mix a quart of painty-paint."

Now, I don't know if y'all have ever mixed paint. It's a laborious and time consuming process of extreme tolerances and precision. One has to wave the sample under the magical electric eye, wait about a whole ten seconds for the machine to spit out a formula and a base. Then you have to walk clear over to the shelf and pull down a whole quart of paint base, meticulously remove the lid, and add 3-to-5 DROPS of tint (of various and particular different hues) to the quart, re-seal the can and place it in a computerized machine, and shake it for 30 seconds to a minute.

But Sherwin Williams has distilled this process down to where this only takes a SINGLE DAY to achieve. Miracle of miracles. Buying a quart of paint has become a TWO day process.

So I come home and putter around the garage mumbling to myself how we are determined to import the "manana" philosophy of business el norte from our south and central American neighbors and how we're pretty far along on that process... when it occurs to me to see if in fact that's what the other guest workers over to the cabinet factory had done as well. So I dug out the paperwork from that transaction and scrutinize it a bit more closely only to find that my cabinet parts had languished in "Will Call" for four whole days!

Amazing. Yeah, I know... the content of this rant has nothing to do with guns (Pablo) other than to illustrate why I can't buy more of them due to the unnecessary suppression of my income due to the foot-dragging inefficiencies I have been encountering at the various houses of supply.

Rant over. I'm ready to be skewered by your critiques.

No critique from me. I can deal with that stuff when it's shit that doesn't matter . . . like if my Palmetto order takes a month to get here.

But when your livelihood is on the line and you need to deal with that shit, it AIN'T OK.

I wonder if the guy who helped you has been told by the manager NOT to mix paint, because maybe he sucks at it, even as easy as it is. Or maybe the manager is the kind of person who micro-manages everything, and has decided only one person can mix the paints.

Something of that nature.

Home Depot mixes while you wait still

[RocketScott]

Right there with you brother

I’m trying to get trusses made for my house. One truss company was so incompetent that I reached out to two others

Now I’m dealing with three groups of incompetent people

Enrique has been there at least 6 months. I would imagine that to be ample time to learn how to mix paint

The big reason for going to SW is their electronic do-hickey that allows them to match colors very well. Does HD have a similar gizmo?

[KeystoneCowboy]

All I got from your rant was your use of made up words. Still with the "hunh"?

[jukk0u]

People have been using that expression since you were shitting yellow, younker.

[RocketScott]

They do

Had them match my cabinets so I could paint some base trim. Lady at the counter guessed semi gloss and I thought semi flat, or whatever is bellow semi gloss. My guess was right but I bet hers would have been passable. Looks dead on for color and sheen to me now

Had it ready by the time I walked down to get a plumbing part and walk back

So, it's all my fault?

That does suck.

When I bought my gallon of Ben Moore exterior to match, it was $65. I let out a gut punch yelp. But it was done by the time I had all my other stuff. Ace in Duvall.

[3584ELK]

Incompetence...in Washington? The mere thought boggles the mind!

Lowes does a HORRIBLE job of paint matching, but it may be operator error at the location I visit.

Sherwin-Williams...interesting. When I had my house painted last fall, the kid used S-W paint. Wondering if he waited forever for matching and mixing.
