151 is, no kidding, dangerous alcohol. People don't believe the warning when they say it will burn with an invisible flame..that's why there is a flame catcher on the top.

Actually I went outside for a walk and it was cold, windy, and wet. But I will still take it over Maryland weather.

Hoping to hit up the strip tomorrow night to get my steps in, dinner, and maybe a few drinks.

Yeah it's nasty stuff. Horrible shot to give after a night of drinking for a 2nd 21st birthday.

I'll usually get too full from beer and that's usually the point where I'll start drinking water to avoid hangovers

Nice sounds like a solid evening. Yeah MD weather isn't great this time of year

I gotta do a trigger kit for my Glock, and speaking of guns I got this in the mail:



the silver barrel that is. 9mm threaded conversion barrel. Just gotta get me some G17 magazines and I'm set. One more because its cool lol



Also ordered PAC 1218 valve springs, and I'll be ordering the valve spring tool and an air line to run off of an air compressor to keep the valves up either tonight or tomorrow.

I like the look of the silver barrel.

I should be getting my sights Wednesday. Don't know when I'll be getting the other stuff. I'll be doing everything myself. Already had the gun apart to the point I'll have it for install of the apex parts. I love the "installation recommended by a competent gunsmith".


Sounds like that will be a lot of work. My headers took 10 hours! I thought they would be 4 tops. Valves don't sound like they'd be fun at all

I'd love to get a set of those for my ruger sr40c. Yeah my header install ended up being a 6 hour job, but they had to pretty much do a custom set up for it.

Yeah I think it'll take a few hours to do but I'm getting a connection line to screw into the spark plug hole to pressurize one cylinder at a time to hold the valves up. Also getting one of those valve spring tools that compress both springs at once so hopefully it's not too bad. Oh maybe I'll do the fuel rail flip too since I'll have most of that crap off anyway. Wooooo car modding!

Yeah the silver barrel looks pretty badass but it really makes me want to get a suppressor lol
