All quiet on the Zero front. Interestingly, I think I'm running a bit light on 9mm ammo these days. After that class I need to replace about 1,500 rounds. The Remington yellowbox of 250 seems like the best deal in name-brand, reloadable, factory ammo these days. Its what I shot at the class and it seemed to work just fine.

By the by, what does the Zero carry in his everyday Glock mags? 115 FMJ actually. Mostly because I have so much of it. The nightstand gun is loaded with old style Black Talons.

Had some pleasant experience 'pouch cooking' a few weeks ago. The principle is simple: put food ingredients in a pouch of aluminum foil and put pouch on/in heat source (fire, barbecue, oven, etc). The sealed pouch keeps in steam and moisture, food cooks, you then eat from the pouch and when done simply discard the ball of foil. No cookware or servingware to have to deal with. Certain foods lend themselves to this method more than others…some peppers, onions, garlic, stock, couscous, spices, and thinly sliced pork came out quite nicely. I'll have pics up in a few days.Works great tossing 'em on the ol' Volcano stove.

I need to get a Lone Wolf Distributing catalog. I want to change out the sights on my Glock to something a little less 'coarse' and a bit more precise. Also, I'd like to get a sight adjustment tool as well as a few other goodies. (Like more colored basepads.)

In other news, and this is somewhat interesting, a visitor to the website actually used the 'Donation' button and gave the Zero a few bucks for his 'Im gonna make it through this apocalypse' fund. Darn nice of them. Almost pays for a months bandwidth.

I was supposed to go on the July 4 field exercise with the LMI but its not looking like thats going to happen. My civillian life has taken way too much time off recently and I need to stick around to try and make money. Maybe later in the year I'll be able to run off for a three day weekend or something, but not now. Too bad, Id get to try my new Eureka combat tent.

One of the LMI stopped by this afternoon. We got to talking and I mentioned that I stillhad about half a case of Kerlix bandages and asked if he wanted some since I had more than enough and was distributing them amongst the LMI. Needless to say, he replied with an enthusiastic affirmative and I gave him a bag of 20 bandage rolls. Still leaves me with plenty of extras.
