Now I'm depressed! I haven't enquired about reviving the remains yet, but I hope it's not that much. The snow is due to a rather sharp cold snap we are having at the moment. I have to pour de-icing fluid over the blog to get it started in the morning. I don't have that problem though - I still have some whiskey left. ;) Tricia – 400 dollars? Now I’m depressed!

It cost me almost 400 dollars for them to "retrieve" all my photos (yes, yes I too have heard of backup but have never got around to it..) and other stuff. Now, I've had to reload Skype and all the other programs I use (it would have cost me another 100 dollars to get them to do that) and the whole thing's been a huge pain in the you know where. So, my sympathy GD, it just sucks, that's all. By the way, should there be "snow" falling all over your website screen? It's lovely, but I'm just wondering if that's a part of the big blowup, the residue? hope your Christmas was very Merry - did you finish the whiskey at all? :) The same thing happened to my computer (not a laptop though) a week back.

A few comments got trapped in spam and moderation. Sixty - You were rightly marked as spam. Thanks for sending me my passwords. I can get into quite a few sites now. Dorothy - Stop pimping your clients' websites. Nice design, by the way. ;) TT - It's true about the AK. I find it never jams even when covered in slurry. Thrifty - They are rather busy these days, aren't they? Nasty fuckers. Dorothy - I will just wheel out my laptop each Christmas. Who needs crackers? TT - Taking two genocide in a glass of water before bedtime is very good for a restful night. Or am I thinking of something else? Kirk M - Porn? How very dare you. I don't keep porn on my PC.

It's obviously causing your laptop(s) to shuffle it's priorities a bit. Suggest you offload that kind of stuff to a DVD or something so the thing doesn't spend all it's time looking at it and ignoring you. I think you might want to keep the porn off of there.

I have a few old M14's that have been glass bedded and the barrels free-floated. If not I'll get a Stoli Panda action for ya' with a Kreighof barrel in say.....Hmmmm....6.5/284 or one of those 6 mm bench rest wildcats? Of course it shall come with a McMillan prone stock and long distance Warner sights. Did you prefer a Jewel trigger or an Rock River trigger?
