Zenblaster's Rants of Silence
Rantings in the digital wind as your Grot Shop of the information age. "I didn't get where I am today without recognising a completely useless machine when I see one" - C.J.

Big errands day, starting off heading out to Sams Club. Loaded up on the list and also ran across a just released game called "Black". Debated XBox vs PS2 (thinking ahead to PS3), and decided to go with what we have (unfortunately) XBox. Have never really been happy with XBox purchase, basically regretting it from soon after it came out.

Headed over to North Charleston Colliseum and picked up tickets for the March 25 7pm Charleston Sand Sharks indoor football game. This should be interesting since Rob is so into football. On leaving, walked the "scenic walkway" connecting the Colliseum area with the Wendys, hotels, and other stuff on International Blvd. Always wondered about that, now I know.

Next drove over to Harbor Freight Tools store on Dorchester Road. Had heard about thestore just recently and have been through some of their catalogs previously. Took a look all around and especially looked over the Vertical Milling machines and Lathes. Didn't see too many accessories, so was a little disappointed.

I've been wanting to locate an indoor shooting range called Traders World for years, so continued up Dorchester Road to Cross County and found it. Went in the range and asked about hours, and the usual stuff. Various groups were in there training, so I'll have to run back and see how much I've forgotten. The term zenblaster is a play on the shooting nickname a bud gave me of Blaster Butler, so this brings back lots of memories of the time when I went to 7 matches a month around SC.

Walked next door and looked around the store. Lots of hardware and accessories... Upon leaving, I ran into a old shooting buddy Jody S. We chatted for a while and then headed out. I'll have to look up some of these folks and visit some of the matches still in existence.

Stopped by two Asian grocery stores on the way back and looked around a bit. Always good to know where to get what you need. Next headed back and soon picked up the kids from school. Spent some time working on some other items and planning some future sites to visit. We heard more about when we might visit TN and added that high on the list. So many places, so many things to do! It's great.
