I can't run in this...

With snow the last several days and me being off work for a week, I haven't been able to go to the gym to exercise.  I wanted to jog today but with more snow when I woke up, I decided to just walk my normal 5KM jogging route.  With fresh snow on the route, it took me longer than usual but I needed the exercise.  I did not find it too cold so it was a good opportunity to get some fresh air and clear my head.

After coming back from my walk, I decided to clear the snow from the sidewalk and driveway.  I prefer to do it several times rather than wait until it stops snowing because it tends to become heavy.  Anyway, more exercise for me.  It still was not cold but I managed to get some ice built up on the wires of my ear buds.  I will probably go back out again in the evening or whenever it stops snowing to clear it all up again.  With an old fashioned snow shovel rather than a snow blower (which is sitting in the garage) because that is just how I roll.

2013 Airsoft Wish List

As the new year looms, I can't help but think of some of the essential things I want to get or replace for airsoft.  I cannot say how much I will be gaming in 2013, but nonetheless, there are just some things that I would need when its time for me to hit the field.

Was Missing But Now Found

This pistol went missing sometime last year and it wasn't until a few weeks ago that it was found again.  I had lent it to a friend and he had returned it back sometime after.  When I was not home to receive it. he handed it to my brother who then just placed it on a table and not tell me about it.  As time went on, it was all but forgotten when other items were placed right over it.  But, eventually, it finally resurfaced when the table was cleaned out.

In case you are wondering, this pistol is a Tokyo Marui based Sig Sauer P226.  It was converted to full metal using the Prime Navy Special Warfare kit.  The difference between the stock 226 and the NSW version is the lack of rails underneath the frame of the NSW one.  It also has an anchor engraved on the left side of the slide and a unique NSW serial number on the right side of the frame.

It has a good weight and felt very comfortable to shoot in my hands.  Definitely my workhorse in the handgun department for years and I will continue to use this for many years to come.

The Beast

At least, I hope my new toy is a beast.  And the fact that this toy is not really new.  I bought it from Colin, and I think he bought it from someone else.  In any case, this is a first for my collection.  I have never owned a squad automatic weapon before.  The main reason being that spraying large amounts of BB is not my play style at all.  As a matter of fact, my gun rarely ever go fully automatic and yet, here I am with a  gun that is only full auto.  And also heavy too, at 13lbs.  Please do not mind the fake ACOG mounted on it, as I felt it needed something there.  I am not too big on optics as well.  I am looking forward to gaming gun, but I am not looing forward to actually feeding it.  Oh well.

New Acquisition

After a long absence, I am finally back with a new update.  This time, it is with the USMC BDU set.  It is a desert MARPAT FROG set.  The acronym stands for Fire Resistant Organizational Gear.  This is one of the dangers of browsing eBay at night when you can't sleep and have nothing in particular to buy.  Everything leads back to looking pretty for airsoft.
