They also moved the time frame for C&C to be earlier now which means you will never make it out for it
Still shows AM rain . If it's not raining, I'll come...simple as that.

If that's true, you're right .

Got a great deal on a .22 today. Spent $400 on a Smith & Weston M&P that came with 2 magazines, 300 rounds, upgraded pistol grip, butt stock, and iron sights, a month of free range time, and a gun bag with magazine and ammo pouches on the outside.

Jason I am on the ncdot website looking at the future projects and they are going to add some 'HOT' lanes on 77 which will be to your benefit once it's completed in 2017.

Hopefully it doesn't mean you will have to pay for those lanes.

Alright, so I'm still in for the meet guys, haven't seen everyone in awhile, we need to catch up.


In other news, so I was going to pick up the kids from school the other day and before turning in traffic was coming from the opposite side so I waited for them to pass.


So this fucken kid sees me waiting and decided to spit some shit out his car window and almost hits my car with that shit. I could've went after his ass because he was stuck behind cars at a stop sign. He fakes turning left and turned the other way. I wanted to drag him out his car and choke him out but I was too close to the school.


Anyways, end of rant. Carry on hehe.

So I did a lot of reading about the road projects that are happening in our area early this morning.


The 485 widening will only be getting ONE extra lane. There will be a 'full depth shoulder' which sounds like it's wide enough to be a lane. Once the project is complete and there ever comes a time where I'm sitting in traffic due to some bullshit, I will be utilizing this said 'full depth shoulder' as a lane. I think they're wasting money and pavement by making it a shoulder.

That project and the 85 section near concord mills will be completed at the end of this year. And apparently some of the sections are really close to opening.

Bryan check dicks sporting good on Friday and gander mountain on wedsday or Thursday they usually stock them in but won't have any bulk packs just the 100rd sleeve and can only buy 3 of those. I would sell u some but it took me almost a good 6 month to get what I got. Have over like 2k+ I need to get back into ammo stocking I'm getting low on 5.56 and 9mm and just picked up that ruger 1911 so need to get more 45. Gun will make u poor fast. Just warning you.

It is a good looking car. However if they don't put exhaust tips on it I hate the rear end. There are also many other awesome cars in that price range and the thing just doesn't wow. They need the twin turbo V6 in it for sure.

Not sure what Acura was thinking there. It's not a freak'n Prius, so set the TLX up with some sexy exhaust tips and diffuser on the rear bumper.

From looking at the traffic flow yesterday and today in charlotte, me thinks there have been lanes opened on 85 near concord mills. It has been green both days.

Eff 85, especially near Concord Mills. It would be great if more lanes were opened.

I really really feel like lanes have been opened because the ncdot website said some will open late February and judging from how close it looked last time I went to Durham. And now there has been no traffic for 2 days in a row.

(this is a dream come true 13 years in the making)


Maybe I should go to the lego store tonight just to see if it's true.

Well, so much for going to C&C on Saturday...the carpet installer's coming . However, after two months, I'll be glad to get my room back to normal. After Monday or Tuesday, 98% of the repairs will be complete .
