Here's a look inside Trigger Guard I created for TikTok. I'm just starting to learn that platform and it's like the wild west over there.

Sad news/Happy news
Last year we lost my buddy Zeus. He’d been unwell for a while, and he finally crossed that rainbow bridge. I really miss that crazy guy.
Now the happy part. Meet Ricky Ricardo! 14 weeks old and 100% energy. I’ve said goodbye to sleep, productivity, and sanity.

This popped up on FB this morning. This time last year I was deep in the second draft. I'm crushed under a project for work and haven't had time for a #FirearmsFriday post, so I thought I'd share how the sausage was made for those who missed it.

Amazing News!
I won the International Impact Book Award for writing and publishing 2025!
I entered the contest in May, and promptly forgot about it. Judging wasn't going to happen until the end of the year. Why obsess?
Looks like I get a glass of the good stuff tonight!

This #FirearmsFriday post has been a nightmare. You can read why here: chrisgrall.com/blog-1/f/the...
Anyway, everything's been fixed and I can now proudly present the FN FAL.

One does not "simply" change a thing. The change can result in the need to create foreshadowing and fix down steam effects

#WritingCommunity I should be prepping for Army/Navy right now, but this baseball card has been burning in my brain since last week. Now that I've put out the fire in my brain, I can put the fire in my chili.
Looks like I snuck in a #FirearmsFriday after all.

It is, but it's the price you pay. That's why I have this graphic sitting on my desktop. Because once the mistake is realized, the black cloud of obscenities issues forth. HA!

#WritingCommunity, I discovered AnyImage.io and used it to create this ad. No more stupid Amazon default ads for me!
There is a free membership - no analytics - but that's okay because all I want is to control how the ad looks. Use the FB parameters for BLSKY.

It's been pointed out on another site that this graphic has a minor paste error. I can't do anything about this one, but I've fixed the graphic on the website, ChrisGrall.com. All my info graphics are there if you want to look them up.

The first batch is complete. I'll cook up another meat batch and a vegetarian batch tomorrow. Those will stay in the pots for Saturday. Of course, I'll need to do a little quality control test tonight for dinner.

I like #TriggerGuard popping up during searches, but paying the per-click-cost to Amazon is killing me. Sure $70 in "sales" looks good, but I only get $15 of that. I'm pulling the plug on this experiment. So far, the best advertisement has been connecting with all of you.
