Brain Freeze

Girls appear to like their art classes, though Shelby got a little shy during her acting class (and I'll be needing to send an art smock of some kind next time as to prevent further ruining of good shirts). Met them and their mother at the arts center this morning to see them off to their first class.

Afterward my father and I headed to a local gun show. On the way, we stopped at an ATM where I experience severe brain freeze. Out of nowhere I seem to have forgotten the PIN for my ATM card (more on this in a moment). My dad spotted me some cash and we spent about an hour and a half browsing the weaponery at the show. It wasn't a real good one, compared to others we've been to, but there was some neat stuff I can't afford. I was particularly interested in the AK-47 styled semi-auto 20-gauge shotgun with all-black polymer stock and pistol grip as a home defense upgrade/successor to my current sawed-off, single-shot, breakaway 12-gauge shotgun (but don't be fooled you villans, if you break into my house, I'm more likely to grab my 9mm and lob 17 hollow-point rounds in your general direction).

Being in the outdoorsy mindset, after the gun show we went to the brand spanking new Oklahoma City Bass Pro Shops and Outdoor World. Hadn't been there since it opened in November. It's a pretty cool place. While I was initially unhappy with the deal they established with the city to build here, I see now the value it seems to be bringing to the area.

Back to my brain freeze for a moment... my theory on my "PIN-block" is that I have reached "PIN saturation". Between the PIN for my ATM card, my credit cards, my PKI badge at work, and my two SecurID authentication tokens for work, as well as many other PINS/passwords for various online shops, without any of it written down, I think my "PIN-buffer" is in dire need of defragging or a capacity upgrade. Hopefully something will jog my memory before I REALLY need some cash.




Oh yeah, this whole three days of rain thing? It can be done now, if one my readers happens to be the god of rain or something. This isn't Seattle after all.
