This morning, I got everything out to mount a scope to my AR-10. Leveled the rifle, positioned the mount, mocked the scope up in the mount, leveled the scope, etc. Then, I decided to do one last check before I put Loctite on the screws and tightened everything down. Well, it turns out the diopter adjustment is worthless beyond 6.5x magnification (scope goes to 14x). No matter what I tried, I could not get the sight picture to focus at any distance beyond 6.5x. I know it used to work fine because I tested it before I acquired it from the previous owner. I called Primary Arms and explained the issue (this scope just came back from having a chipped ocular lens repaired, so perhaps in the process of fixing one thing they messed up another), and they said they'll probably just have to give me a replacement scope.
So...
Good news: I'll get a brand new scope.
Bad news: I won't get to go shoot my rifle this weekend like I had planned.

Bad news: Tethering to my laptop is slower than fuck at 500K, used to be 65 MB+
Old plan cost more but had 3GB LTE data/mo. So now if I need download something quickly, I have to download it to my phone and transfer it to the laptop. Using a VPN will usually bypass those restrictions. I know with VZW and Sprint, you can bypass throttling by using a VPN.... for now... You can also edit your bearer settings, and adding ",dun" to your LTE APN and removing your LTE PAM or LTE MODEM settings. If you got another phone, and a samsung phone, shoot me a PM and I can walk you through it.

Good: The head guy called to say that the $50-55K pay would be $53K. Bad: The bean counter called, and said the highest they could go is $51K Good: Getting a $1000 moving bonus. Good: Uhaul will install trailer hitch for $321, and gave me a 20% discount on the trailer rental for $133. (Subaru hitch $660, other $550.) Almost a $600 bonus. Bad: Still OK. Bad: For you guys I will still be a constant thorn in your side from afar, and you can bet I will be back.

Depending on what's happening in WA at the end of my contract I might stop in ID, or another state. Either way I will still be a regular presence on waguns until I get banned.

Renters out, painters done
They did a borderline job. Need to come back. I'll need to put a full day of labor in. So no fun show for me.
