I bought this when I got home, had several upgrades done to it and today i got to pick it up a week early!! i the bike sounds unbelievable I absolutely love it

  Once again, not elegant.  Not as elegant as handloading and hunting them with a $500 handgun.  Much more 'sporting' our way.   Though I have knocked them out of the air with my hat and stomped them, when not properly armed.   Some of my son's in-laws in Ontario think that shooting bees is unbelievably redneck and typically American.  I agree and don't want to disappoint them.

Took a pontoon boat ride down the Colorado River in Glen Canyon near Page, Arizona in 2010. They told us the canyon walls were 1100 ft. high. This wasn't far from the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

Well I rode about 300 miles yesterday and all I can say is I absolutely love my Bike!!!

My son and daughter-in-law were living (and renting) in one of my rentals when they got married. They wanted a starter home and asked if I would sell them the rental. I agreed to sell it, and gave them a really good price, but still within the low end range of what houses are selling for in that neighborhood. I still had a hefty mortgage on it, so I had to be able to pay it off. My daughter-in-law had a savings account that her family had been setting aside for her to use for a house, and it had a considerable balance. So, their mortgage on the house is a few hundred bucks a month.   Our other son bought a house that was at the top end of his affordability level at the time, and had nothing to speak of  to put down on it. for a while they struggled to make payments each month. His perception is that I basically "gave" my other son a house. It has caused all kinds of turmoil and heartbreak within the family.   My recommendation is don't give the house to him. It will only make your daughters feel cheated.   Consider selling it and buying a cabin in the woods that you all can use as a getaway. Or sell it and split the cash among all the kids, or put into a trust to purchase a home for each of them. 

i use closed captions on just about everything I watch on TV.  It is really helpful.  You get way less of those "what did they say" moments.

I had to do chores at David's house for a weekend.

I believe he said something like "he's still alive and I'm gonna make sure he stays that way".

Dunno but I might have a  record!  Joined in 2007, benefactor ... and still haven't made "Member".  :dunno:

Stones River is probably the best sight in range in town because if the movable target frames and great shooting benches. 

I would sell the house and keep/invest the money for my own retirement.  If the kids are hard working, responsible and living on their own already, prepare for your future.  They can divide up their inheritance when your gone.  Then if down the road one of them does need some financial assistance(i know **** happens) you can provide as needed. :2cents:

The idea of oversizing is to make a seal. Without a near perfect seal, you get gas cutting. Gas cutting equals leading and pisspoor accuracy. Oversizing also prevents skidding. Basically, think of stripped threads. This is the major function of a gas check by the way. To give the rifling something tougher to bite into that won't skip over the rifling at higher pressures. Fit is king. Cast bullets will never work without proper fit.

You mean you actually put down your beers? I made that mistake one summer day while working in the yard with my dad. A bee landed in it while I wasn't watching, and when I took another drink I got stung on the tongue. Dad's fatherly advice was "Finish it before you put it down and that won't happen again."

Pretty sure the only way to go from TGO Newcomer to Member is to send $5 to each current benefactor via paypal.   It should only cost about $1,000 or so.         disregard that, my dumbass didn't see that you were already a benefactor.

Nice. Just finished off my Blantons the other night. Has anybody noticed how much Blanton is showing up in TV shows? I have seen it in several lately. That bottle is hard to miss.

See you there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Y'all are like a bunch of ladies at the beauty parlor talking about As the World Turns.  :lol:

willis68 if you ever get down towards Tullahoma or Lynchburg look me up. Ready to get out on mine too. picked me up a bobber myself this year. Your bike looks sweet!

  That last line gave me pause. If it is the twist, it could be why Sam doesn't really seem to be afraid of Carol after her little speech. He's used to a "bad momma" or it could just be he thinks she can help him more than anyone else.   Remember when Carol and Pookie stay in that women's center in Atlanta, I think if she told Daryl that he's beating his kid that Pookie would turn Pete into a squirrel.

My new favorite restaurant downtown is Pucketts

  You got to use baggies? He must have changed the policy since I earned mine.

low tech, I just spray them with carb cleaner dead as a door nail in seconds.

Yep and I think a certain villain will be showing up in that episode too.

You should join the group too!

Just added two new members to the family: Colt 6920 & Mossberg 930spx.

I have an old ss phantom.  I love it.  But if I was buying right now, I'd get a specwar.      Quiet Riot has the Specwar 762 for 679.99 and you get a free Warlock II.      SilencerShop has the Specwar for 720 and you get a Spectre II for 99.     Great deals in my opinion.  

  Nah. Just keep bumping up the powder until you smell bee hair, and then back off a little.

Can't have a thread in this subforum without some wiseguy telling us how he is more primitive... Rob should be along soon to show us how he kills carpenter bees by smacking them with a willow switch or some other method that I could only dream of being able to do.

Took this pic of my wife among a family of Giant Sequoias in Sequoia National Park two years ago.

My Ruger Old Army .45 loaded with 20 grains of 3FFF Black Powder and 30 grains of "grits" topped of with tissue and grease. Just like a shotgun!!! Happy Bee hunting..... Dave

My "primitive hunting" setup:

I'm not saying there aren't good firearms instructors out there...  and that getting firearms training isn't a good idea.   Only that the current system is corporate welfare for ranges and instructors, and does little or nothing to make TN safer.  I'm all for keeping the current system in place for those who want a permit to carry out of state.... but we should completely do away with the requirement to get a permit to carry if you can legal own the firearm.  

I hope Aiden dies during their trip.. Still watching... That guy is a grade A asshole. EDIT: SCORE!!!

Seriously? $7/50 9mm is that brass? That is $140/1000 It is costing me around $150 to reload 1000 9mm picking up my own brass. I think I am wasting my time now.

Exactly how many people fail the HCP class?  I'll give you a hint, way less than 1%.  So what does it mean when 99+% of the class passes, that nothing is being taught that matters.   The HCP class is nothing but corporate welfare for ranges and instructors.  We're surrounded by states that allow unlicensed open carry and none of those states seem to be having problems with it, what makes TN so special we need a license to openly carry a gun?    

My wife used to watch a show on Scifi channel I believe. People with "haunted homes" etc would call in these experts to find the spirits and would then remove an object from the premises that was causing all the spirits to hang around. I watched about 10 minutes of one show and that was enough for me.

I never drink more than a sixer and always keep the ashtray on the opposite side of the bench from my powder.

Very nice.  All these bike pics have me itching to get out riding.  Been out of the country for a bit and can't wait to get back Saturday and get mine cleaned up.  We did a TGO ride last year in Middle TN.  We will do another one ( I may go ahead and put out a feeler for dates).  If you ever want someone to ride with, let me know, it always nice to have someone to do a bit of running around with on the bikes.

Be careful on that thing!  Motorists around here tend to be dicks!

Just saw this

Probably another GAP just to piss people off.  

Bottom of page for registration has the following in reference to carrying;   During the 2015 NRA Annual Meeting & Exhibits, lawfully carried firearms will be permitted in the Music City Center with the proper license in accordance with Tennessee law. Bridgestone Arena prohibits the possession of firearms. When carrying your firearm, remember to follow all federal, state and local law

The rifle looks amazing. At first glance you could amost miss the faces and just see it was a grain pattern.

  I kicked that idea around a few years ago, started organizing it, then it went to crap when people started fighting over the barrel.  In my mind, if I was going to go through the hassle of ordering a TGO barrel, I was going to keep the TGO barrel since I founded the damn place.  Hell I was up for a case or two of the resulting Single Barrel all by myself.   :lol:   Maybe one of these days.
