VATA guys are good guys. I did of AAR of tactical pistol on here somewhere for those interested... I also attended their tactical carbine, but slacked off on the AAR (sorry!).

I'm going to try to make at least one of these...haven't decided on pistol or carbine (maybe both!).

Dammit just realized 3/27 is our wedding anniversary.

It took you an hour to realize that?

 

[SpeedRacer]

It took you an hour to realize that?

It took you 32 hours to point that out?

And yes it took an hour. I'll admit it. But, the best part of the story is that I *just* remembered our anniversary is actually on the 17th. So I win after all.
