I think I'm going to change up the layout of my safe.

I think I'm going to get rid of that wooden shelf I made a while back and get some rifle rods for the long guns. I'll put those closer to the right side in a couple of rows. I might move the short shotty to that side as well, then I'll put the pegboard back on the left side to use along with the rear pegboard to store some of the stuff on the top shelf mainly the magazines to make them more easily accessible. I'll probably get some bins for some of the other stuff up there, and add some lighting.

My main goal is to clean up that top shelf. Shit gets messy up there which makes it hard to find and/or access things. Switching to rifle rods should allow me to store more long guns in there over the long haul.

Current setup:

I finally got the items I ordered for doing this.

I bought some string lights, a motion sensor, and a power adapter off of Amazon for better lighting in there. I also picked up what is suppose to be an desk mounted outlet, drilled a 2" hole through the side of the cabinet and installed the outlet to power the lights.

I glued some velcro to the bottom of the shelf, took out that wooden rack I made a while back, and switched to rifle rods.

I also ordered some magazine racks that I mounted to the peg board. I still have a couple more to put up, but I ran out of screws.

And I grabbed some plywood I had and made a shelf to make the top shelf of the cabinet more eye level, and it gives me a place to store some ammo boxes.

I ordered that scope mount that Papi Chingon @Papi Chingon suggested a while back. Once it is delivered, I'll mount that scope to the .308.

Looks really good. Much cleaner from the previous setup and the lights are a nice addition.

From the comment section:
including the dollar costs to yourself (impound, lost wages, bail etc.) would be helpful to know.

Response:
Chain of command put me on emergency leave, so technically I got paid for the week long jail stay. Cash bond got returned after the fact, so 20k minus $8.00 a day for the 7 day jail stay. Attorney's fees were the only real kick in the pants, and I was never told what that amount was.

Yeah, my CCW got suspended immediately, and was reinstated once it was all cleared up.

Thanks. Turn 40 next week. 6 months ago I threatened myself with posting a shirtless photo on Facebook on my birthday, and it was up to me to be in shape or not, so I've been hitting it hard.

Plus a larger than normal dose of TRT, just for sake of transparency.

Man. My girls great aunt just dropped some of the wildest family lore I have heard in a long time.

When she gets back home to NY or Mexico or where ever the fuck she is currently living I'm gunna get my chick to FaceTime her so the story gets recorded correctly and doesn't get lost in time. And so I can transcribe this shit into a cohesive story in English lol

Pre cartel crime families in Mexico. If you don't know. Mexican crime families mostly started post WW2. The US was running out of Morphine during the height of the European campaign. So the US state department went down and taught Mexican farmers to cultivate poppies/opium for the US war effort.

They would continue to do so after the war, and obviously were also growing ganja in some places. This would be the start of Mexican drug trafficking organizations, that later would consolidate and form the loose alliances that would become the cartels we think about today.

I mean that is mostly still how they operate. There isn't really one big faction, even among say the Sinaloa cartel. It's multiple groups of families and Orgs under one banner. And if you aren't current on that stuff, there is some wild ass shit going on right now.

So anywaaaaay. The story involves one of her great aunts being a kidnapped child bride by a Mexican crime family and the whole story is something right out of a fucking movie.

Daring rescues and escapes and disguises, political corruption, multiple murders including the fucking priest that performed the ceremony not knowing the girl had been kidnapped. Rapes, beatings. Lots of gunplay. Lots of deception.

Witch craft/brujeria. A seven year old girl orchestrating a midnight escape from a killer on horseback in the pitch black night in the middle of no where.

Fucking story just got crazier and crazier as it went on. But had a happy ending( well maybe not for the priest and people that got murdered lol) and she and her family would end up being free and living their lives.

If you guys are interested. I will try and work up a rough draft of the story arc this week.

Like we are literally already calling out chapter names lolol. "Act 2, Chapter 1" Uncle Santana and the cheese man's rescue"

Venting....Unbelievable few days. My daughter started getting sick on Fri. The prior week she went to urgent care for right side lymph node in her neck. She had some tonsil on that side, etc, but was mostly fine. Rapid strep test was negative, but they gave her 10 days amox script.

this past friday she starts a fever, and saturday she starts getting a rash my eldest calls and tells me....I go pick her up sunday morning to take her to urgent care and 1st think I say when I see her is "thats fucking allergic reaction to the Amox. Urgent care conclude maybe it is reaction, but fever is oddball, so maybe 2 things...reaction and a infection. So throat culture and 2 antihistamines. Strep should have responded to 9 of days worth of Amox, so scarlet fever is a very iffy consideration

Return moday, a little tightness in chest so I'm concerned. Can't get bloodwork cause labs are closed for ho;liday so just gotta deal with fever management...occasional spikes are worrisome105-106. So we do showers and ibuprofin which she responds to.

Tuesday morning, bloodwork and followup after results....a couple signs she isfighting an infection. But urgent care doc doesn't like mix of symptoms and refers us to ER at womens and childrens med center.....wants experts to consider mix of symptoms for scarlet fever, measles or kawasaki disease. ER doc order up a bunch of bloodwork and blood cultures to test for bacterial infections. But he looks her over and asks a buch of questions...he is confident it's some kind of virus that just needs to run it's course and she is responsive and other than fever and splotchy/red looking she seems pretty good. So its wed and just waiting to see if cultures pop for anything and managing occasional fever spike.

She hanging with me at apt and wants me to feed her steak and corn on cob....I take that as a good sign
