  1. That GT Air is a great helmet especially if you got a deal on it. congrats
  2. looks like the link to your pic is broken Pic working now, must've been a glitch on my end
  3. That was a pretty smart table design. I appreciate your ingenuity.
  4. Praise the Lord my God, Jesus Christ
  5. You can't argue with science.
  6. It's way cheaper to just send mine off to be milled. One of the options is a set back cut that deletes the rear sight and pushes the RDS to the rear of the slide. I'm not sure I'd like that, but if anyone has a convincing argument for it, I'd sincerely appreciate hearing it. Would you consider the set back cut or stick with the standard cut? However, I like being able to pocket carry my P365 in certain circumstances. Once I put an RDS on my milled slide, I won't be taking it off just because I wanna stuff it in a pocket holster. If I buy a pre-cut slide, I could quickly/easily swap slides. I'm not sure that convenience is worth the price. What would you do? I like to know who I'm working with when possible, so I strongly prefer to drop it off at a shop to have the work done and then pick it back up. Anyone have any advice on face-to-face vs mailing off a slide?
  7. Same here. The tongue weight limit of my Jeep is 350# though, so I try not to go too heavy, especially on the end.
  8. WOW! I've never seen the whole headstamp blow off cleanly like that from inside the rim. Quite impressive. I'm glad your gun wasn't damaged.
  9. I wear glasses, so I find a drop-down sun screen is a minimal requirement for helmets for me. When you go shopping, try on a Scorpion, if you can find one. It's the comfiest moderately priced brand I've tried. HJC makes good helmets in that price range too but my noggin isn't round, so they don't fit. Have you tried one of these clip on visors? They can sometimes be just the little extra height you need to send the wind over your head and is quite a bit cheaper than a tall screen.
  10. That is one gorgeous looking bike!!!! I love that color.
  11. Do you see a ridge around the base of the brass? This could indicated the ammo was fired one or more times out of handgun with an unsupported chamber (most famously in gen 3 or earlier Glocks). The brass is reshaped (stretched) in stage 1 or the reloading process, which makes this area weak. If that brass was reloaded and fired out of the same gun with an unsupported chamber you increase the chance of a blowout. This might also be noticeable by a case that is slightly longer than the others. When I bring home range brass, my first step is to toss out the ones with that Glock bulge just in case. I'd bet even a small company wouldn't take time to do that. I do use a fast powder (Bullseye mostly). So, I would also quit reloading if I couldn't control the powder charge any better than a 4.5 - 5.2 gr range. That's a 15% range of inconsistency, which is a lot IMHO.

    Campers

    @pop pop I couldn't agree with you more, sir. That's how it is with camping. I'm too old for hammock camping or pitching a tent, but pulling a teardrop or travel trailer is perfect for me. I have a cousin who sold her house in FL and sunk all their savings into a Class A with all the bells and whistles and although that's too much for me, she's happy.

    Campers

    My wife was enthusiastic about camping with me and our grandson. We did one night in a local state park and a week at Fall Creek Falls. She hasn't gone since. This made me grateful that I settled for a small squaredrop camper instead of something bigger, because now it's just me and my grandson and we have plenty of room (queen bed).
  14. Welcome to TN and to the forum. Glad to have ya.
  15. If I'd had a cell phone when I was growing up I would have missed out on valuable label information like: almost every shampoo contains something called sodium lauryl sulfate, but my HS Chemistry teacher didn't even know what it was you shouldn't swallow toothpaste...and I've been tempted a few times benzalkonium chloride is the active ingredient in Lysol spray, but I still can't pronounce the first word
