    Well, you kinda do have a day job.

    I never leave work. I've booked around 700 "billable" hours since the beginning of the year. Insane. 50-60-70 hour weeks. Buried in project work.

    Too bad that doesn't all go into my pocket.

    Yet here I sit, wasting time on you ho's.

    Cabelas has CCI Blazer 9mm right now for $0.21/rd shipped (free shipping over $99) but my tax rate is probably lower. Decent enough price all things considered. Can you still buy online and ship to CA? haha

    The 700 doesn't include other stuff I do.

    About 900 hours total last I looked 16 weeks in.

    Even the 900 is off. I spend a lot of time researching and reading tech stuff that doesn't get booked.

    I also track, but don't get "Utilization" credit for my travel time. That really sucks.

    I can still buy ammo online (for now, anyway), but the local Wally World has just about everything I would need. They always have tons of .223 and 9mm on the shelves. .223 is priced at about $.40/rd (I wouldn't buy it at this price unless the sky was falling), while the 9mm is about $.24/rd for good brass cased stuff. Not too bad.

    Ouch. Don't forget to enjoy life! I have 50 days of leave that I'm slowly working through. Yesterday we went to the beach, the day before that was wine tasting in the Edna valley. I'm not working again until next Tuesday.

    And I'll be taking about 2 weeks off in June because my folks are coming out here. We'll be going to Disney Land for 4 days while they're here and we're not holding back - Mrs. HB and I haven't had a vacation since our honeymoon 6 years ago. HB Jr is already so excited to go meet Mickey Mouse
