I am on cloud nine because my Pittsburgh Penguins are 7-0 in the NHL playoffs so far this year. They are the first team to start the playoffs undefeated in seven games since the '94 Rangers. This so happens to be the team they are currently taking to school. The Pens didn't even have their best game tonight, and still managed to pull five goals out of their hats. The first game of this series was probably the most exciting game I've seen in sixteen years (since the '92 cup) and I am starting to think they can hoist Lord Stanley's prize this year. They look that good. They look so good, I'd almost rather they lose one just so they can see a little adversity. Then again, sweeping their way to the final wouldn't kill me.
This playoff season is the reason for the scarcity of blog posts lately. I don't have a ton of time in between moving, organizing, working, and taking care of the lawn. I'm getting closer to being organized, though, and I'll be glad when everything is put away 'in its home' as K would say.
My buddy Dave with FSPD came by tonight to see our new place, and I'm sure the neighbors are already thinking I'll be a problem neighbor. This side of town is so quiet, they don't usually see cop cars in the driveways of the neighbors.
I called in an order recently for my old friend Woody. I called it into the CMP, which is based in Anniston, AL.
They stockpile a lot of military weapons and ammunition that is no longer used by the armed forces. They have had or still have a ton of Garands, Carbines, practice Mossberg 22s, and several million rounds of Lake City (recently sold out) and Greek HXP 30-06 ammunition. They make it available to the civilian market in order to promote gun ownership, training, and safety, especially with the youth of America. Woody had some requests for some ammo from a few customers, and I told him I'd get some for him because they always seem to somehow screw up his orders. Anyway, for some reason, there has been a HUGE increase in both price and demand for ammunition of all kinds from all sources. Luckily, my call got us in before a planned price increase, and the CMP says they've seen an increase of ten-fold on ammunition orders in the last few months. When people freak out about fuel, the economy, and everything else, they also freak out and buy guns, gun parts, and ammunition by the arsenal. It's not a bad thing, except when it means price increases are inevitable. Woody will hold some HXP for me for a while, and I've got plenty, but you can never have too much ammo in my opinion. I'm getting some things organized for my first trip to the range with JD, and I'm getting anxious. Can't wait to blow some things up. CZ

Don't get too wrapped up in Sid the Kid madness just yet. The ol' Red Wings are swarming again.
I know, every time I talk about my Pens, I see the shadow of the mighty Red Wings in the background. I would love to see a final with our two teams battling it out in seven. -With the Pens coming out on top, of course.
Who the hell is kalar and why is he spamming my blog?
Because slushies aren't moving very fast at 7-11?
Craig makes me giggle!
Hey now boys...Let's also not count out the ol' boys from south of the mason dixon line...They may play on ice, but the team from Big D is pretty hot rt now too...They have only lost one in the playoffs...
Your D boys would be pasted by the Red Wings, Brownie. They'd look like GW on ice.
At least call them the GW women on ice, because we all know which gender had the better hoops squad this year (especially after listening to Brownie run down the biographies of each player on the starting five).
Does this mean Brownie is wearing his Stars jersey with the upside state of Texas on it?
Mock if you will beeyotches...but last i heard...since he still wasn't cleared to play in the NFL...PacMan Jones was going to strap on the skates...and instead of making it rain...he's going to make it snow...
