This NFOA thing is just what I needed to keep my mind occupied while I (hopefully) recuperate from my wrist surgery. Being off work was very nice for the first couple of weeks. Since then, it is a struggle to find something to do (something I can do) to pass the time. I have lots of projects I'd like to work on, but I find I either simply can't do it, or the pain is more than I want to bear.
I haven't found too many "gun nuts"on the site that simply have a macho "I-can-kill-you-if-I-want-t0" attitude. Actually, I've only come across one person who seems a bit too angry for someone who carries a gun. I won't mention any names, especially since it is only my impression taken from what I read of his comments. Maybe the guy just likes to talk tough because he thinks he'll make more friends that way on a "macho" site like NFOA. (I know there are women members too. Don't get your panties in a bind!)
I took the dogs out to Branched Oak today for a swim. Unfortunately, there were some other people there who had a couple of dogs running loose, too. That isn't necessarily bad, but I felt guilty bringing mine down to the base of the damn when I saw them quickly put their dogs on a rope to keep them away from us. So, I didn't stay too long. I figured they came there for the same reason I did, and they were there first, so I shouldn't make them feel pressured to keep their dogs tethered. (I'm not even sure if that is required or not, but obviously they only did it to avoid any unpleasant conflicts between their dogs and mine.)
The dogs had fun for a little while, but I didn't get much excercise. I had planned to walk along the beach and the damn for a while. I guess I'll end up walking them around the neighborhood again tonight (not nearly as pleasant as walking the beach).
It seems I have a few people who have come to check out my blog since I started commenting on the Chief's corner and NFOA. I feel obligated now to post a little more often, even though I don't know if they'll ever be back. I did come across an interesting blog similar to mine (in content if not frequency of posting) by checking out the profiles of some of the other NFOA members.

I see a theme, I'd just like to point out that there is a difference between damn and dam damn it. No worries though, I knew what you meant. :)
Nice catch, Phillyun! I try hard to not let those kinds of things slip through on my blog, or comments to others' blogs and forums. Stuff happens, right? I could blame it on my wrist surgery and my fingers not working all that well yet, but I've already admitted that it was my left wrist, and the "m" and "n" keys are both right-hand keys. Maybe I just left out a word. I meant to say, "walk along the beach and the damn lake shore," but I guess those two are pretty much the same thing. What can I say? I blew it.
