Woldan

Using your logic I could also name it 18.5x72 Conan. The quality of Manurhin revolvers is crazy, I remember them at the international firearms fair last year. I hope you can restore its former glory! By the way, why are all four broken? Do all of them come from the same idiot owner?

I'm currently working on an extremely hot-rodded 12 gauge slug round, using a tougher brass case instead of weak plastic and shooting heavy slugs in the 500-700 grain range. I even had to design and build a special crimping die for it. Here it is on the left compared with a 168 grain 7.62x51 NATO ( A round which most sniper rifles and medium machine guns are chambered in) Hard work tough, the crimping die is so big I have to use a huge industrial vice because it doesn't fit in my reloading press. The overpowder wads are custom too, they have to be a tad bigger than the standard 12 gauges. I'm aiming for a safe load that pushes 700 grainers close to 500 meters a second and can still be shot from 12 gauge shotguns that have a 3'' chamber (if you survive the recoil, I recommend muzzle brakes). This is going to take a lot of experimenting with different powder types and charges. I still have to name it tough, what about ...hmmm.... the 18.5x72 mm hellbat? Or 18.5x72 mm Woldan el speciale?

Abortion.

No, I think what you're thinking of is that strange magic golems in the 4th level near Lums machine, they're only vulnerable to non-magical weapons. The demons I'm fighting have - I think - immunity to anything below +2, the problem is they also cast magical weapon resistances on them (on top of spell resistances) making them only killable once the protection spells are removed, which takes rather long while those bastards hack away on my party and kill summoned monsters almost instantly with death fog and death spell.

Hm, I doubt they're immune to Hive Mother's death spell that targets and destroys all summoned creatures. I'll give it a try though, thanks.

Did dumbbell triceps extensions, triceps overhead curls, flies and 5 sets of dumbbell bench presses, tried to do them with 90° angled arms just to see if it makes any difference if the weights are further away from the chest than usual ( with 60 degree hammer grip). I found out that it helps to target the upper chest, at the expense of the lower chest, its very hard to stabilize the weights that way, very demanding - great exercise for auxiliary muscles. And the only ''good'' thing (more or less) about winter is that sunny weather and hikes / climbing doesn't distract me from exercising like a maniac and setting new goals. Try to see the good in everything. Thats one reason why I stay the hell away from gyms.

BG2EE And its driving me mad. I'm currently at watchers keep, last level before reaching the imprisoned one, and the last battle against the demons makes me go insane. (Core rules) Too bad I cannot remember what tactics I used to defeat them when I played ToB a decade ago. The problem is that most of those enemies cast protection from magical weapons on them and before I can dispel that protection magic with my mage I'm so dead. Distracting them with summoned creatures is a no-go because the hive mother uses death spell on them and they seem to be immune to most spells. Lowering their resistance is a no go either because my group gets hacked to death before I can cast it on all the demons. Next time I'll try: time stop > dispel magic > lowering magical resistances and then cast another time stop to use 4x Abi-Dalzim's horrid wilting and see if it does any damage. Frustrating.

I have prettier ears.

More frozen fog, the landscape looked like it has been bombarded with sugar filled cluster bombs. Well, no complaints from me!

Baked trout fillets with mushed potatoes and HOT! peppers stuffed with cheese.

My trap caught three mice in my garage... I found them really cute....well...until I saw giant fat mite-bug-thingies crawl around their eyes, thats when I decided that it was a good time to have a proper panic attack and scream like a little girl. Now I put those little parasite bombs in a temporary quarantine box. Hehe, my farmer-neighbor is going to get a nice gift from me tonight. Never liked that bastard anyway.

Had some extremely vivid entertaining and apocalyptic nightmares again, incorporating places I have visited a decade ago with lots of hidden metaphors and split second decisions. Too bad dream recording technology is still work in progress.

Got my Magic The Gathering cards I ordered a while back and buffed my blue-black and mono-white decks with the new cards. Yes, I confess, I'm (still) a huge goddamn MTG nerd.

Political correctness.

The opposite of PROgress.

The Hobbit : Desolation of Smaug Minor spoiler ahead! Like so many others I liked it tons better than ''An Unexpected Journey'', the pacing was much better, the story didn't drag and there were less comical slapstick scenes which I really hate in all kinds of movies. The romance between Tauriel (shes really damn hot by the way) and the token-dwarf-#4 felt incredibly forced and cheesy though, it was painful painful to watch, it was like the love fantasy of a 9 year old. Another thing that kind of irked me was the Orks dieing like flies, yeah I get it, Elves are good fighters but..seriously? Turn the damn god-mode off. However, I still don't really care much about any of the characters. Well except Smaug, I absolutely love this arrogant, greedy pompous dragon and I was so happy that they didn't kill him off. His facial expressions, they way he moved and how he played with his prey, best movie dragon so far.

According to my scale I broke the 100kg weight mark today. Since I don't find any additional fat on me that must mean my new training schedule is finally paying off. Yay. And there is still tons of things that can be improved.

The exact number is: not enough. :> Aha, ok. But what is this stuff that seems to be oozing out of the rocks and forming small streams? I mean those NASA guys always say its probably water even though its not possible. Alien goo?

Ah, I'm like one of those cheap made-in-China multi tools, I can do a lot of things, but I'm not particularly good at anything. Thanks anyway.

Had some freezing fog today....

I might be an instinct-driven mammal but NO situation could be so exciting that I'd forget taking precautions that safe me from screwing up my life forever. Its just too important. If there is one thing thats more important than absolutely anything else at all the times no matter what its having full control over my life.

Oh man, I have zero respect for people who have unprotected sex and then get 'accidentally' pregnant. Its so goddamn easy to avoid yet it still happens, it simply boggles my mind. What I did today: went to the shooting range and had so much fun, shot like a laser, my reloads worked like a charm, the wonderful smell of burned powder in my nose. Since my reloads worked so well I can now begin manufacturing a couple of hundred rounds for each rifle which gives me something to do on the coming dreary boring winter days. Today has been a good day.
