Most right handed people will pull down and left when they shoot handguns because they misplace their grip and put too much finger on the trigger, pulling too hard. Best to dodge to your left if your opponent is shooting at you right handed.
I will bear that in mind.
 
Being doing some boxing over the past week, trying some new combos and techniques.

The wood is green polar finished with dark brown leather dye and tung oil.

The leather is 7oz veg tanned, with a coat of dark walnut tinted Danish Oil, washed with acetone, and finished with 2 coats of black leather cream. A coat of mink oil to finish the inside.

The rivets are made from bronze alloy brazing rod and forge-blacked washers:

Messing with Spam Calls
Just got a call about Medicare... very likely a scam
Prerecorded message asks me a yes or no question
Me: (什么) Shénme
Response: Great, would you like to speak to a representative
Me: (什么) Shénme
Response: Great I will transfer you to a representative
Representative: Hello, my name is XXXX, how are you today
Me: (你会说普通话吗?) Nǐ huì shuō pǔtōnghuà ma?
Representative: What are you saying?
Me: (你会说普通话吗?) Nǐ huì shuō pǔtōnghuà ma?
Representative: I don't understand
Me: (我不会说英语) Wǒ bù huì shuō yīngyǔ.....(你说什么) Nǐ shuō shénme
They hung up......

Shénme = What
Nǐ huì shuō pǔtōnghuà ma? = Do you speak Mandarin
Wǒ bù huì shuō yīngyǔ = I don't speak English
Nǐ shuō shénme = What did you say

"This number is ex directory, how did you obtain it? Stay on the line, this is a security breach and I may have to inform my superiors"

"You're looking for who?... So are we. When did you last see them? Are they still alive? Is this something sort of ransom demand?"

No nearly as much fun since so many of the callers are robots anymore...
 
I actually made more money this week than I would have if I was on benefits. Sadly, I spent it on books and art materials, which I justify as 'research' and 'plowing the money back into the business'
