Not long ago I got a surprise check in the mail. Apparently, years ago, I was exposed to polluted drinking water while an active duty Marine at Camp LeJeune, NC The check was my part of a settlement for being exposed to this water. That was the first I had heard about this. OK, I can't do anything about that water so I might as well do something fun with some of this windfall. I purchased an expensive "man toy," online, a firearm that would normally be well out of my price range. I bought it online and had it sent to an FFL holder I had used before in a nearby town. A few days later I got a call from someone at the gun store. She said that they weren't currently receiving any guns for transfer so she had sent the gun back. I called the number I had for the store and found out that they have multiple locations and, of course, I didn't know which location I had called or which location the gun had actually came from. So, here I am. No gun and no money. Hopefully things will work out somehow but I don't know...

If you were there get your money. And don’t forget there was close to 8k for the 3m hearing protection class action.

The military didn't want me, so I'm good.

Chewing on lead solder is my own choice.

Granddad had a bottle of mercury, when I found it, I used to play with it on the workbench pounded with a hammer let it go in 1000 directions then I’d move all the little pebbles back together with my bare hands again.

Good times good times. And look at me I turned out well.
