You know how to get us out of this mess? Stop giving money to people who don’t need it.

If you give a tax break to millionaires and billionaires they put that money in the bank. You give tax break to the middle class and we go out and buy a new oven, a new motorcycle, or a new car.  That spurs the economy. People spend money.

Stop giving more and more money to people who won’t help drive the economy forward.

We just took our new Remington 597 Heavy Barrel with the scope option to the range for the first time.

First impressions were very positive.

The weapon feels solid and we fired roughly 300 rounds without any major issues. I have some cheap federal .22 ammo so I’m not really surprised that it fails to cycle every once in a while.

I started by sighting the weapon in, which went very well. Even just standing and firing on a blank section of plywood you can see how well it grouped and how dialing it in brought it right to where I wanted it. I’m standing and shooting here, so forgive the fact that its not perfect. It was our first day out with the rifle and my son just wanted to hit some targets.

The only negative I found was that when I did the post buy tear down and cleaning I realized that it is a bit of a pain to get the two bolt guide rails and springs back in place. You have to kind of work the spring on and then slide the bolt forward. It sounds easy, but it hurt my fingers. The good news is that you only have to do that full tear down after every time you go shooting. Most of what I’ve read says every two or three thousand rounds.  Having said that, the type of ammo and how clean it is, as well as the environment your shooting in can change that drastically.  Always make sure your weapon is in good working order before you shoot.

Cockneys Vs. Zombies (5 Out of 5 Graves & A Six Pack)

I mentioned Cockneys Vs. Zombies to my brother and he kind of made a disinterested noise. That got me interested. We usually have pretty opposite likes, so if he didn’t like it, I as pretty sure I would.

I wasn’t wrong.

I ended up in the hospital for a kidney stone and after being heavily sedated all day for pain, I was up all night. The perfect time to watch Cockneys Vs. Zombies.

It was funny, it had awesome gore, and actually had some really decent action scenes. If you like zombie movies, I’d drink a few beers and sit down to enjoy Cockneys Vs. Zombies.

Impeach Boehner. Recall Boehner.

He makes me ashamed of Ohio.

This is what is wrong with the country. The big corporations want more and more money but don’t want to raise wages or provide insurance.

Its not just a sin, it should be a crime.  Call your representatives. Raise taxes on the ultra wealthy, stop giving subsidies to companies making billions. Raise worker wages.

Call your senators and house members. Tell them you want them to pass the CR and stop being obstructionists.

This is not helping us.
