Well, my time here in New York is coming to a rapid end - I'll be back home within two weeks, and finally get to play with my new Springfield TRP 1911 that is sitting at my dealer's right now. Hopefully I can also catch the "tail" end of the Brown spawning season and pull out some hogs!
I'm looking forward to killing the last few months before my ship date with camping trips, beer brewing, and other shenanigans.

New York
So it's weird to be home. (Home being not really home, just where I went to high school - Rich Whitepeopleville, NY, just outside the city.)
$10 for a pack of cigarettes? Really? Fuck you and your vice tax, NY.
On the other hand, I'm sitting here drinking a glass of the Cragganmore 12 year single malt, so I can't actually complain. Except for the fact that my January ship date to basic can't come soon enough.
On another happy note, I got free sushi and beer today and it was wonderful.
In terms of firearms, I really am missing my AR, my AUG and my AAC suppressor. Such things are illegal in this damned nanny state. I also finally bought a decent 1911 - a used Springfield TRP (Armory Kote, not stainless) through a guy on Sigforum. I won't get to play with it until I get back to CO, but the anticipation makes it even better. I also ordered a handmade holster and mag holder from Ryan Grizzle (rgrizzleleather.com - can't get this fucking link button to work). Review will follow when I get it in 6-8 weeks or so. You gotta be patient with made-to-order things... it pays off in the end.
Well it is apparently 0300 right now, which means I should have been asleep hours ago. Stay classy.
