Took this picture this morning as I was getting to work. Was on the phone with my wife letting her know I had got to work OK and said something about the pond being froze. She said get a picture. I only had minutes to get to my desk and clocked in, so I took 2 pictures barely paying attention and this is what came out. I believe I am going to have it framed. I couldn't have got a better picture had I tried.

Dave just sent me this Picture for approval, The serial number has been done #00 (TGO David's) is complete except for Final cleaning and packaging, I just gave my approval for the serial number Placement, They are going to be Cool!!!

Folks, here's my "primitive" hunting gear for my traditional hunts. The rifle is a .75 cal (12 ga) cut down Brown Bess Musket. It patterns number 5 shot in an awesome manner. I Squirrel and Rabbit hunt with it. I only Squirrel hunt in my Native kit. Plus I'm a Native Reenactor and I love it!!!! Dave

My guard, posted and on duty, he gets cold, ice hanging off of him and he stands his post every day. [URL=http://s896.photobucket.com/user/redintn/media/Mobile%20Uploads/0217151336_zpsa7f9dfcd.jpg.html][/URL]

For what it's worth, when I make code changes to the site, I test the ever loving shit out of them across platforms and devices. Windows with Firefox Windows with Chrome Windows with MSIE (bleh) Mac with Firefox Mac with Chrome Mac with Safari (bleh) iPhone Android Tablet   What I don't do is turn my monitors on their head.  That practice will most certainly not change.

Eating a donut without the glaze is like having sex without the orgasm.

Someone will probably trade for this stuff, except for the dog.....

My brass monkeys  are huddled in a corner, and one of them just pulled a knife on me.

Last year LWRC debuted their PDW at SHOT. I ordered one pretty quickly and have been waiting on them and the ATF. I wanted to do something cool with it since I had seen Modern Outfitters do some really cool stuff. The form 3 cleared today and they finished the coating process. Hope you like .....

Congrats on your success and recent acquisitions. I've worked on literally thousands of guns, and find that almost anything can be made to function reliably given enough effort and attention. Many times its just a proper cleaning and lube, sometimes different ammo or a repair. But I wouldn't classify a Sig 1911 or PK380 as problematic, those guns run all day long. Try your luck with a Jennings, Lorcin, Bryco, or some of the really old junk guns and see how well you can do. They are still doable but more of a challenge, especially after some idiot has been at them with a dremel or worse.

Ansel Adams would be proud!

Spoke with three different Sheriffs about this bill today, they say it is DOA as far as they are concerned.  These are three that have their heads on straight too, Sheriff's Association is out against it.  Main concern is Billy Bob would think he is off duty LE... That carries a lot of weight in LP.  Legislators might get caught drinking and driving with a gun in their car, they (legislators) will do as the Association wishes.

I'm gonna load the powder and primers tomarrow in some brass and do some test firing :ugh: . Mainly hoping for good functioning/cycling right now. I'll worry about accuracy later on. I think I'm gonna test them in my Ruger P94 since it's built like a tank. I'll load them lightly and at the minumum load as I can . Like I mentioned , I'm all new to this so I'm taking baby steps.

  More snow forecasted for tonight and tomorrow morning, then more on Friday.   Winter 2015 is starting to get fun!

So cold it turned your guards tallywhacker yeller.

I do believe these will be some of  the Sexiest little switch blades ever made, I am really looking forward to them!!! 

now I want to go check the mail

Just a reminder to the Genny users please make sure your connection to the main powerline id disconnected so the electricity can't back feed, as a former Line clearance tree trimmer, and the father of a Supervisor at Wolf Tree I thank you.  We had a lot of problem with this working an Ice Storm in Arkansas back in 2001 I had a couple of my guys put in the hospital due to a genny back feed. so lets keep the guys tring to get your power back on safe :2cents:  :)

Here ya go, 15 lb steel ball coverd in 1/2 inch rope. [URL=http://s896.photobucket.com/user/redintn/media/Monkey%20fist/monkeyfist3_zps220a6064.jpg.html][/URL]

  Ha! When I told my wife I wanted to try and make some paracord stuff, she said, "Oh, you mean macrame? I have a book on it around here somewhere."  I lost my interest.

Hopefully this bad weather has allowed every member of TGO to contact the appropriate representatives and organizations opposing this ban.  I have lost count of the emails sent and voicemails left.  I also have letters ready to be mailed tomorrow.     If you do not stand up and speak then you are part of the problem.  I can guarantee you the anti-gun folks are out in force and making sure their voices are heard.  With record sales of guns and ammunition over the last few years the pro-gun voice should be loud, strong and be roaring in our representatives ears.  If every gun owner will speak up that voice will be heard.  For those who are afraid to put your name in an email, to a phone call or in a letter, You have already lost.

I am constantly sending emails. As you stated, I hear many rant, rave and complain but have never contacted anyone or voiced their opinion. It's sad when a very small percentage of people can create this change. Time people get off their ass and take a stand. My wife just laughs when we both send emails. She says bring on the circling helicopters at least they will know how we feel.

My daughter has her own dog, my wife has her own, and I haven't really had my own "my dog" since I lost my pit bull Princess when I was a kid. She died from heartworms and it destroyed me! This little American Bulldog mix reminds me a lot of Princess minus the color scheme. I named him Roman and lemme tell ya, I LOVE him and he LOVES me! :) :) :) As you'll see, he loves to sleep right now at a tad over 5 weeks old. And he doesn't care if it's comfortable for me or not, I just have to deal with it LOL. Edit: The older he's gotten, I believe he's just a standard pit bull. Not really sure except for appearance on how to know for sure, but I am not going to get him tested, as it doesn't matter to me, I love him because he's my dog.

Anyone have any fun out there today? I had a blast doing donuts since my car only made a block out before I gave up. 50/50 distribution worked against me.

I have a feeling that the guy in the video had little or no prior experience with guns. He was trusting the guy filming or a third party and they were more interested in "punking" him so they could laugh at him than in making sure he had a safe, positive experience. I know people like that who will lie and tell someone that a heavy thumper shotgun, etc. doesn't kick just so they can laugh at the 'victim's' reaction. I personally don't find such asshattery funny in the least. To me, that seems like a good way to turn a person who was open to learning about guns into a person who has no interest in firearms. But maybe my funny bone is just not working right.

Read any Taurus reviews lately ? KY a great lubricant ..... :)

the bottom says will trade for tuck, Mercedes, corvette.    I met a guy at a gun range who offered to sell me his kel tec sub 2000 last year.  He said he would let it go for 3k.  this has to be the same dude.

  Here's one option.   Don't know how their cost compares.  It says you can buy spools at Home Depot, shows various colors, etc.   Link below is for the in store items.     http://www.homedepot.com/b/N-5yc1v/Ntk-Extended/Ntt-550%2Bparacord?NCNI-5&browsestoreoption=1

I shoveled ice off my driveway while the sun was out, but I didn't have fun.   Note to self: Never shovel ice off your driveway and then come in and sit for an hour.

I just braved a 400' stretch of steep driveway which is covered with solid ice, and finally made it to my mailbox after hours of slipping and falling. Only to find that my RUNT had not been delivered yet. WTF? ;-)

Should be some really good steel.

Wilson County just cancelled school for the rest of the week. I don't think I'll make it with all these kids.

Maybe I'm wrong on this, but I understood that it's a pretty common practice throughout Western Europe. I've heard a few rumors about agencies in this country looking at it as well. Right up there with Progressives little device that attaches to your car's computer and records Everything about your driving from the time you start the engine until you park.

I've tried larceny ... I thought it was pretty good. It was better after it was open for a week or two. A bit sweeter. But the best part was it came with a $10 mail in rebate for a 750 mL bottle (a little tag hanging from the bottle neck). I actually got the rebate in about a months turn around from sending it in.

working it :rock: 

Being an adult that doesn't like to pay 'stupid taxes' anymore, I stayed home today. They closed the office, so I had to work from home. They supposedly declared a state of emergency up here over a foot of snow. We have food (Bread and Milk Oh My!) and power.

Glad you had that heater GDG!

Words don't do it justice. I had a hard time not singing the Star-Spangled Banner in my living room.

Ya bunch of hippies :rofl: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macram%C3%A9 I did this stuff back in high school and the scouts.

Amazon shows 1000' rolls. I'm not qualified to say if it is real or not

Was out in this mess early this morning due to staying overnight with some guys from Room In The Inn last night.  At 0600 there was probably only a 1/2" or so of ice, but it was slick.  Luckily there weren't too many cars on the road, yet.  Looking forward to staying in the rest of the day.   Weather like this really means something when you're homeless. Usually when we have dinner with the guys, they're talkative.  Last night, there was nothing but concern about what the weather was going to do, and the fact that a lot of the normal places to shelter would be closed today.  Everyone was in bed early.   I find myself really thankful to be able to observe the weather through a window.  Not everyone is that fortunate.

I just spoke with the American Ballistics folks. They're phone is going straight to voice mail due to a heavy call volume. Left a message and they called me right back. They do still have both loaded and component M855. Tips are .12 each/K, loaded is $400/K. The guy on the phone was nice and feels as many of us do here regarding all this BS and about those who might be buying to resell and jack up. They are in GA so shipping is reasonable and though they have a ton of orders they are still getting stuff out pretty quick.

They had a good run in the late 80s/early 90s with cast members like Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, and Chris Farley. Other time spans have had a good one or two cast members plus a bunch of mediocre ones. Billy Crystal, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, etc.

I have a bunch on my youtube channel. Here's a couple.   http://youtu.be/S9bDiTyDVoY   http://youtu.be/Qi42zetxYg4   http://youtu.be/-8qVcTQJpbM

'Tennessee $300 bill' Keep it, love it, shoot the heck out of it, shoot it some more, love it a bit longer. EVERYONE needs at least one lever!
