Hangin Out

[Computalotapus]

Today the wife and I took a road trip down to southern MI. Stopped by dropped a project rifle off with Mike from Blown Deadline. Hangin out with Mike is always cool to see what projects he is working on. They have recovered from the fire pretty good and it looks like business is picking up for him. Hope to see his business grow and what all he can come up with artistically.



After leaving BDL we headed over to Novi to meet up with Joe from Dakota Tactical. If you don't know who he is look him up. He is a kick ass HK armor making some awesome roller locking systems. He brought out his wife and two kids. Also Pyzik, his wife and daughter joined us for lunch. Was good to finally meet him in person.



I encourage everyone on the forums that if you have a good social media relationship with industry people make an effort to put a face and handshake to the username. And what I mean by industry is not just limited to manufacturers or vendors, get out meet and greet the people you interact with on a daily basis via social media. Meeting Pyzik and his family was fun. Looking forward to organizing a MI shoot and getting Ben from AR15News to make the drive south with us.

Awesome that you guys could meet up like you did. It's always nice to put a face with a username. Sounds like you guys had a good time today!

Side Note: When two gingers meet up is it some sort of soul swap or what? How does that work?

[Pyzik]

It was fun to meet up! Nice to finally meet you two and Joe and his wife. Cool guy.

I look forward to whatever shoot we can come up with.

As for the souls.... Pretty sure my daughter will be a ginger so it was like 2.5.

Sounds like you all had a good time. I worked all day, but I did get to hangout with General Tso.

General Tso... now that is some Asian I speak.

[GOST]

He's like the brother I never had.

I don't think anyone is in my area. Which is good.

Hangin out with me requires a vest and a good lawyer...

[GOST]

Does a sweater vest count?

...does it stop bullets?

[GOST]

No but it makes a damn good shammy.

Seems to me there are quite a few of us in the PNW. Shouldn't be too tough to get something together, aside from reconciling everyones schedules.

Sounds like a good time indeed. Does that mean that Joe can give you a discount on some roller-lock goodness?

Mike's business looks like it's booming. If I didn't know any better, I would have never guessed he had a snafu with a fire.

Unfortunately, I don't have much to interact with. Only people in PA that I know of, are Geissele and IWI.

Haha he has quoted me civilian version of the UMP in 9mm at a very low low price. But that low price is still too rich for my blood
