Winchester Model 94

Today I have decided to talk about the Winchester model 94.  It is a gun that has a huge history that was recently discontinued by Winchester because they were not making enough money and were forced to sell their company to Browning.  The model 94 came out in the November of 1894 and was continuing to be made until 2006 when the Winchester plant ceased to create guns.  It was sad to see this one go.  Please look at these links for more information.  If you would like me too I can tell you more all you need to do is post a question.  http://www.nrapublications.org/TAR/Winchester94.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_Model_1894  http://www.winchestercollector.org/guns/1894.shtml  http://www.gunblast.com/Winchester-Legacy94.htm

Monday

Today is Monday the first day of finals week.  I got up this morning and rode down to OSU with my dad.  When I got here I studied and then went to my first final.  It was for chemistry 122, I really hate that class, but for some reason I think that I did well on the test.  After taking the test I got some lunch, talked to Amanda for a while and then went to work.  I can’t wait until Wednesday when all of my finals are over with and I get to go home for spring break. 

This weekend

I went home from school this weekend.  It snowed like crazy here in Ohio I think that we got something like 20 inches.  The roads were terrible.  In fact on Saturday we were on a level 3 snow emergency and it was illegal to be out on the road.  On Friday and Sunday though I went up to see Amanda.  It was really nice.  She gave me Easter gift, which was a lot of fun.  I really liked it.  On Sunday we went to Meijers, Mc Donalds, and my grandparents.  I had a lot of fun.  On Saturday I stayed at home with my parents of course and I studied for finals, lifted and played cards.  Over all this weekend was a lot of fun. 

Hi

I would like to take this time to ask you what guns my readers would like to learn about.  I enjoy typing telling about guns randomly but it would help if you guys could tell me what guns you would like to hear about so that I could tell you about them.  Also tell me if you would like me to change my format for my gun discussions from the one I used for the Barrett 50 caliber.  

Today

This morning I had no desire to wake up so I finally got up at 11:08 for an 11:30 class that is a ten minute walk away.  Class was really boring.  I hate my chemistry 122, it is really sucks.  After class it was snowing like crazy, we have gotten two inches in 90 minutes and it is still coming down like crazy.  I went to Burritos Noches for lunch and the homosexual was working there.  He always pisses me off because he normally winks at me and says dumb comments about everything that I get on my burrito.  After eating I called Amanda to wake her up but she was still tired so I told her that I would call her back at 2:00 to wake her up.  Now I am going to either do webwork or play video games.

Last Night

Last night was quite interesting, I hung out in the room and talked to my girlfriend on-line until 2:20 in the morning and then I hung out with some of my friends after they got back from a night of partying.  Amanda changed the layout of her bedroom and I can’t wait to see it tonight.  From seeing it on the web cam it seems pretty cool.  So after I stopped talking to Amanda I talked to Gilburt and Jake.  Jake got his arm spray painted black at a party at the Theta Tau House.  Apparently they thought that he was spray painting their house so they threatened to beat him up and some kid spray painted his arm.  Around 3:30 am I went to bed.

3/6/08

Today I ate lunch with one of my good friends that I don’t get to see that often.  It was a lot of fun we hung out and talked for quite a while.  As usual my girlfriend was the topic of most of my conversation, but he told me about how him and one of my other good friends might start dating again.  They dated during high school but they broke up for a while when my friend Jeff went away to college and the girl Caitlin had to focus on her cross country running during college.  Hopefully that will work out for them this time.  After lunch today I went and lifted with Rob and Jake my two roommates.  That was a lot of fun, normally I go alone so that was a nice new change.  Later on I went to my calculus class and then ate dinner at the commons with my roommates.  Now I am just chilling back at my dorm waiting to talk to my girlfriend on line and debating on weather to do homework or not.  I have had a cold for the past couple of days, but it appears to be getting better.  I will post more later…

Gun Post

I think that I am going to type some random facts about guns every once in a while.  Today I am going to talk about the Barrett 50 caliber.  The military calls it the M107.  It is an amazing rifle that was first developed by Ronnie Barrett in his garage.  This rifle is used by our military sniper primarly for targets between 1 and 2 miles away.  At these ranges the bullett can put a hole in a vehicle’s engine block.  It is quite an amazing rifle.  Here are some links to more facts about the rifle, they taught me most of what I know so I figured they would teach you pretty well too.  http://www.barrettrifles.com/rifle_95.aspx, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M82_Barrett_rifle, http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/future-weapons/weapons/zone1/barrett-m107-rifle.html, http://www.inetres.com/gp/military/infantry/rifle/M107.html, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9lMViBr6d8, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWJp14tkBlU&feature=related  As always if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

My roomies

Alright so I live in a dorm at Ohio State.  It is quite crowded because their are four of us in 2 tiny rooms.  My roomates are Rob, Jake, and Esteban.  Rob and Jake are some pretty cool cats, they grew up together and are quite nice guys.  Both of them are really smart too.  Jake lived in Germany for a year durring high school and now he can drink like crazy.  It is rediculous how much he can drink actually.  Jake also likes to run and lift weights.  Rob used to drink quite a bit but now he dosen’t.  Rob has this girlfriend ( I guess that is what you would call her)  and she makes him really happy so he dosen’t have near the desire to drink.  Rob got an X-BOX 360 yesterday and played it all night.  Esteban is pretty cool too, he was born in Chile and has been moving all over the world getting his education ever since.  Some of the things that he says and does are a little different, but that is because he isn’t from here.  He is a really good guy.

Good Morning

Good morning everyone, this morning I got up at 7:30 and headed to work as usual.  Not much is going on here.  Oh yeah I should tell you I work at a place where people can call in and we tell them how to fix their computers.  Hopefully work will be boring as usual.  I don’t like it when we are swamped with calls.  After work I have a chemistry lab, but it is only a check out so it shouldn’t take very long.  So I didn’t tell you about something that happened to me yesterday.  Durring my sociology class yesterday JBRobinsons Jewlers called me to tell me that my ring resizing was going to be four days late.  I was furious, I had already waited 11 days on that ring resizing and now it was going to be 15 until I got it.  The only good news is that after a lot of calling and mean talking I am going to get my ring only one day later than expected.   I doubt that I will buy anything at JBR ever again though.
