Well, as much as I’d like to put it off, my 44th birthday is this weekend. (August 7th, actually.) Coincidentally, it is also the same weekend as the largest gun show in the state…which is, conveniently, just down the street. Most places here will give you a free drink on your birthday, I wonder if I can get vendors to cut me some slack if I show proof its my birthday?

The missus asked what I wanted for my birthday. After being told a threesome was not likely, my second choice is Amazon.com gift cards so I can whittle down my wish list of gear for the upcoming Recession/Depression/Revolution/Insurgency/Apocalypse.

If anyone is feeling generous or wants to wish me a happy birthday, the email is zero@commanderzero.com…or send a card to POB 1893 Missoula MT 59806.
