First of all, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I'm getting that in now in case I forget later. Besides It IS the new year in some countries. It's 2 am where I was stationed in Germany.
I talked to my younger brother, and it sounds like his plans are to duck and cover when the bullets start flying. He heard them landing on his house last year. If anyone thinks bullets are harmless when the come back down, check this out. One day at work, he had a cardboard box full of rusty parts that were all wet. The box had a hole in the top like a bullet keyholed and went through it. When he figured it out he told someone that one of the trailers they store parts in has a bullet hole in the roof. Then the rain went into the box which also had a hole in it. He said it was probably someone shooting an AK-47 up in the air. Working his way down though the box he found the bullet, after it went through the roof of a trailer, the lid of the box, and 2 more layers of cardboard. He held the .30 caliber bullet up to a magnet and it stuck, so he turned to the person he told it was probably an AK-47 and said, see, I was right.
I'm just eating Doritos and queso for now, but have frozen enchiladas and stuff for when I finish this little snack. I have a full bottle of Cuervo gold and 2 bottles of margarita mix in the fridge, so I'm plan on drinking until I don't feel any pain from the dog bite or anything else. Somehow it turned into a "fiesta Mexicana" but not intentionally. I just saw stuff on sale yesterday and bought it, and already had a bottle of tequila. I may or may not get dressed for the snow that fell today, and take my can cannon outside at midnight. The Hard Charger side charging handle will make it a lot easier to manipulate the bolt while keeping a firm grip on the "cannon".

Happy New Years to everyone. I should have posted these two pics some time ago. I took it at the place where it happened.

Happy New Year. Lot's of amateur fireworks around but didn't experience any bullets... or haven't found as yet. Very dull here. Had dinner with the grandkids, came home about 9pm watched Ohio State get trounced by Miami and went to bed by 00:05.
BTB, even with the loss the OSU coach is the winningest in NCAA. I routed for Miami because that's where Kirby Smart went after he left UGA.
