He's flying back and forth across the room, so after trying to catch him, he starts seeing the moths (we had very high humidity last night, so it always stirs up the moths and we'll have hundreds in the room).

Then, he starts flying across the room and snatching the moths off the ceiling. At that point, we stopped trying to catch him and let him feast on the smorgasboard of moths all to himself.

After a while, when he was getting full we assume, he started walking around on the ground. We tossed a towel on top of him, and were able to take him outside safely. I set him down right next to a giant bug on the ground, he looked at it and walked away. Pretty sure he was totally full of moths lol

I failed astronomy 1000 in college the first time. I got an A the second time. I was average at astronomy.

The day staff usually opens the front door and turns off all of the building lights in the morning. The moths see the daylight and fly outside, so there are usually at least 20-30 birds at the front door flying around catching breakfast. Some of them even know our building well enough that they'll fly in, eat a bunch of moths and fly out again. This one just got trapped or something, then it got dark and he couldn't find his way out.

Yea, they've been available for about a week now. I'm going to swing by my LGS tomorrow before my MRI (if I wake up early enough that is) to look for a few things and if they don't have them, then I'll be placing an order with midway and grab a few extra pmags. I want 4 more M2's, and then I'll need to start collecting the M3s lol

eta: BCM has 30rd M2 Pmags in stock as well.

Psh, I REALLY want some PMag 40s! No one has them in stock because everyone in CO bought them up! [LOL]

Though, I don't blame them. If I could have, I would have reserved as many pmags as possible and shipped them up there too. But now that its after July 1st, I don't feel so bad buying some pmags for myself.

i got a couple of 40s, i still need to get to the range to test one of them.

Awesome! They look kinda cool, almost like AK mags because they are so long. Not that I think AKs look cool at all, but on an AR, it does.

Just throwing this out there:

Graham Crackers might possibly be the best snack food out there.
Is it a cracker? Yes.
Is it a cookie? Yes!

Smear a little peanut butter on it and its a delicious snack!

Dip it in some milk, even better snack and since its sweet, also sort of qualifies as a dessert!

I think my favorite part about having a kid will be teaching them the love of graham crackers.

And if they don't like them then: [Slap]

Like them now?! [LOL]

Well.... Not sure how the heck this just happened, but the outer glass pane on my sliding glass door just shattered. Nobody was near it, I was in the other room and I just heard a "pop" and then the crinkling from the shattered glass. Nobody was around, there aren't any houses built around us yet and I have several hundred yards of visibility in all directions. No dead birds laying on the ground, nothing unusual but a broken window. [bs]

What the heck... Aint nobody got money for that! [Mad]

Sure. I'll sell you these rare high capacity zombie-slaughtering magazines for $200 each. That ought to cover the cost of a new sliding glass door, right?

FML.

Haha, oooh, and for post-panic prices, thats a GREAT deal!

Sorry to hear that HB. Really odd that it happened for no reason, wonder if there was a fast temp change or something like that.
07-09-2013, 20:49
HoneyBadger

Like I said... No discernible or obvious reasons for it...

Well, I guess I might not be making the jump into reloading as soon as I thought. :(
07-09-2013, 20:50
BuffCyclist

That really sucks. If you're in a new development, any chance a home warrantee or the sliding glass door is still under warranty?
07-09-2013, 21:02
HoneyBadger

They are coming to check it out tomorrow, but they could just as easily say that it's not a warranty issue because glass doesn't just break on it's own.
07-09-2013, 21:04

Well, no whoring for me tonight. I have to get up Über early tomorrow morning for work. :(

True, but sadly, that is also the reason it IS a warranty issue: glass doesn't break on its own. Good luck! Hope they cover it for you!

Do a visual on the rest of your windows. If one broke do to heat stress or mfg defect, there may be visible signs with the rest of them.

Already checked. We had some really strong winds a few weeks ago (gusting 60+mph) and I bet a small stone hit the window then.

CHOCOLATE MILK is one of the 3 major food groups. Want to kick it up a notch, run glass under water, just enough to leave a light film on the inside. Place in freezer, chill 20-30 min. Remove, add milk and chocolate syrup, icy cold goodness.

NM has made you soft, amigo.

Going to guess they are all double pane, correct. Look in between the panes checking for any "dust" from the high winds. It is possible the integrity of the glass has been compromised. After the tornado not 1 window on the house was broken [ no roof or electric meter] BUT a visual insp. showed lots of fine dirt was now inbetween the " thermal panes" ins co paid to replace as integrity of the seals had been destroyed.

Well when I drink milk, I typically put it in the freezer for at least 15min first. I LOVE ice cold milk. Frozen milk is better [LOL]

And no it hasn't, its just made me less creative. Besides, I like sticking to the basics of graham crackers and milk, can ya blame me?!

Although, I am definitely going to try that chocolate milk and graham crackers when i get home in the morning. I'll let you know how it turns out. I used to drink chocolate milk all the time, it was my post cycling recovery drink. Add to that a half a pbj sandwich and that's all the recovery nutrition your body needs!

Thanks Jim. I'll check that tomorrow when it's light outside.
