This weekend was rather relaxing.  On Saturday I went out for lunch with Mario and it’s always nice to see that guy.  He’s doing well and has a lady friend back in Indonesia’s he’s been talking to so other than some light ribbing, fingers crossed!  It snowed a lot the last few days so both Saturday and Sunday we cleared the driveways, it’s not so bad when I have Brandon helping but obviously I’m doing all the heavy lifting lol.

Brandon is going to a Scout camp and the long range forecast looks like it’s going to be cold, in the range of -20C so I took out my US Army Modular Sleep System and buttoned everything together.

I’ve used the sleeping bag in the past when I played airsoft in the winter in -30C weather so it should keep him warm when he goes to bed at night.  Slinky approves and has been napping on it all afternoon & evening, pretty damn cute.  Unfortunately it’s heavy but it’s not like he has to trek very far carrying it so he’ll be fine.

Other then that I took apart my AN/PVS-14s today the one I got from Mario for some reason didn’t have a focus ring collar so I disassembled that unit to install it and cleaned it out as well.  They’re rather simple devices so I opened up my old one to clean out too.  I don’t have a way to purge the air so before I put on the ocular lens, I went to my garage where it’s cold to seal up the unit.  Figure there’s much less humidity in the air in my cold garage vs my warmer basement.

Weekends always go too fast and back to the grind tomorrow…
