I got 2 New Lock's Today....

Postby JB0311NY » 28 Dec 2007 11:24

Yea, I got two new lock's... A nice shiny master padlock, and a Kwickset DeadBolt (SC) ... Well I picked them both on my first try with my 14.95 cheap-o picks. Okay. This was much more fun before I saw Lock Newbie's pick's on Theamazingking.com they look so (excuse my gayness) sweet with the nice gel-gripp looking handle's....
I still have the Cheapo picks. I am buying some new one's today. Besides futhering my education in this next year's first quarter I am learning Arabic Through a Rosetta Stone program I DL, Shukran. I am being promoted on the first and looking forward to the new challenge's. (Yawn. nothing is fun after combat. Nothing seem's to stress me, well except my girl.) ANd I am looking forward to stepping up my challenge in the next lock's I purchase.
I do have a Medeco M3 but after JK wished me "good luck" on it, I hav'nt even put my tool's into it once. I havn't gone into detail researching it.
I did see how he did it, and from that I made a tool to bypass the slider. I have not understood the true purpose of the sidebar. I could probaly just google it and then pick it with my toes while shoping on the internet and playng COD4 on xbox360 ( JB0311NY ) ...... I also don't have a key to it, so I was asking the guy I got it from how do I know it even works? Right? LOL... Don't look a gift horse right? So it is locked and for now that doesn't keep me up at night. :shock:
Well any input from you guy's is much wanted, and If you know a Lock that I'l have fun with, or just a tip for a NOOB... Send it. Over.

now i've read and re-read your entire post and I cannot find anywhere a reference to homosexuality, or were you meaning gay in the traditional sense?

If I was Immature it would be this part "sweet with the nice gel-gripp looking handle's".

But since I am Mature, in all respect, there was no "gayness".....IMO[/quote]

I would suggest you begin opening up now with someone you trust. The initial feeling of boredom with life in general will lead to alcoholism, risky behavior, insomnia and feeling like you are naked if you aren't carrying a gun. I went through this and was finally arrested when an off-duty cop noticed my Star 30M in my waistband. Luckily, that led to treatment and now I am able to sleep again with only needing some OTC sleeping pills and a couple of beers at night.

Good luck on your Medeco!!!

Sorry to hear about your problem's bud. I stay away from the brain pill's and drug's personally, but I can dig a couple beer's. The way I deal is being open and not being afraid to open up to a friend, I am open to everyone I meet and I try to either enlighten them, or tick them off.
I have been in the positive latley, I am getting promoted tomorrow, and I oddly was treated to breakfast by a beautiful young woman today.
I belive it is when you hold deep your demon's then they fester out. Slowly, and painfully. My fiancee is 3000 mile's away tonight, and I miss my two doberman pinscer's, but I will get on by living positive and by positivley influencing the people, and area around me.

If only I could pick lock's while typing... sigh..

Good to hear. I kept it all in and it ate my insides out. As long as you have loved ones to turn to and are able to fully express yourself then you should do fine.

I was just worried about a fellow vet that said "everything seems boring after combat" (or words to that effect). I remember my experience and it took a long time before my boredom turned to anxiety and paranoia. I just wanted to help.

Thanks for the concern brother! Times were really bad for me this time last year, but thats cause I was getting f'ed up and feeling sorry for myself. This year I am doing more things to feel my time. An hour plus in the Gym, Trying to pick a couple lock's for fun, Airsoft on Sunday's (It is ver theraputic to shoot someone even if it is with plastic 6mm bb's.....) I am also working more hour's and doing online college classes during that time. I DL rosetts stone Arabic 1&2 and I got a new CPU this week so I can use all my stuff better. LP101 Never was sos brite and shiny. Then XBOX 360 batt's clean up and pretty much makes sure I don't spend to much time pondering things I can't fix.
Seeing my point? I became a changed man after I lesten to an Audio book called "The Rogue Warrior's Stategy for succees" It made me get back to my root's of Organization, and acheinving victory through violoence of action. Make's Private Security seem easy, and I got promoted because I started Learning about Lock's. I got a 25% raise and an office to sit in because I jumped the chain of command, stepped on toe's that wouldn't move, and I Kept my solutuion's simple-stupid.

I hope that everyone out there see's how great we have it here in the western world. I feel happy when I talk to the regular people, and I see them chasing their dream's. I get angry when I see the state of the world and Mankind's refusing to do anything but make it worse.
