The 'Nuge is coming to KFYI

Mike Broomhead (KFYI 4-7pm) will turn over the microphone host Ted Nugent from 5-6pm tonight. You can listen here or get the video here.

Should be an entertaining hour.

KFYI typically makes the show archives available on line.  I'll post the link when it's up here.

Easy hint to sales droids...

If you promise a quick stop "just to measure" (after you've already seen other vendor's site measurements) and schedule it for 6pm (around these parts we call it "dinner time"), and then stay until "prime time", don't be surprised when you get a cold response from the person that will eventually write the check.

Think about this for a second... It's her project but I'm the one that gonna write the check. If I introduce myself as "starving" you damn well better hightail it and don't be offended by the slammed door on your way out. You should have GTFO at least 30 mins ago.

But we are a team and she drives a hard bargain. Let me school you in on the obvious. She's already over budget (waaaay over budget) and you're standing between me and dinner. I can work the budget issue, but there is no negotiating with dinner time. That's a bad place to be. '

You should have recognized this when you walked in the door. Yea... you overstayed your welcome. A lot.

If it were my deal, My answer would be:
Alpha
Mike
Foxtrot

You caused an awful lot of marital discord tonight. This is not a good business plan.

Hope you're happy.

Miata Bleg...

Has anyone replaced the top on a Miata? I'm about to embark on the process and consumed all the info.net I can find on how to do it. The new top is on site and before starting to remove the old top, I've been walking through the process. First thing I noticed is that the cables are broken.

Does anyone know if these are available locally in the Phoenix area? All the internet sources seem to be on the east coast and UPS shipping the top from NC took a full 7 calendar days. I really want to get this project going and I don't want to spend stupid amounts on fast shipping.

I really rather drive somewhere close and pick them up.

Wish I were there...

The SandCastleSon's Bday was last month.  Today Grandpa is giving him his present: his first actual flight lesson.  He's flown with me his entire life but I'm not a CFI.  Today he received his own logbook and will log his first hour with an actual instructor.  I wish I were there to see it.

Stay tuned for pictures.

Update: [from the comments]  The SandCastle Son has his impressions posted up at his blog here.

One down, two to go...

Sweet!

Nevada will soon recognize AZ CCW permits!

The SandCastle Queen and I obtained our CCW permits not only to carry concealed in our own state, but for the additional states allowed by reciprocity.  Unfortunately most of our adjacent states (CA, NV, NM) did not recognize the AZ permit.  But two of the three recognized the Utah permit.  However both dropped reciprocity almost simultaneously with the SCQueen and I receiving our permits.  Drat.

But it looks like Nevada is back!, at least starting the bottom half of the year.  Woot!  I presume cooler heads prevailed.

(NM, you're next and CA, one way or another, your days of denying the inherent human right of self defense by the best means available are numbered as well!)

Talk Radio Gunnie Style

Checking NBC1260 (KBSZ)'s website, I see not only does David Codrea have an hour each weekday morning, they also carry Tom Gresham's GunTalk in real time Sundays 11-2PM and replays again at 6-9PM.

The schedule also shows gun talk at 6-7AM week days.  The picture included shows Tom Gresham so presumably they rerun the Sunday show an hour at a time.  But I'll never know because I'm not generally conscious at that hour.

The 1260AM transmitter is in Apache Junction (35miles east of Phoenix.  The daytime coverage map shows at least "fringe" daytime coverage over the greater phoenix area and surrounding communities.   They also simulcast on 96.1 FM, suggesting a cleaner signal for those closer in.

Thank you NBC1260 for bringing Gun Talk and the War On Guns to the airwaves!

WOG comes to Phoenix!

Now that is cool.  David Codrea is bringing War on Guns to the Phoenix airwaves.

Scottsdale-based radio station KBSZ 1260’s new program, “The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance,” debuts on June 13 in the 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. time slot to provide a much-needed voice to counter and refute those who demand citizen disarmament, and to argue instead for freedom.

More here.  I'll be tuning in!  If I read it right, it's also simulcast on 96.1 FM.
