My great-grandfather was a clown in the circus. Please don't associate his type with dummy, liberal Douche Bags.

Really looking forward to Walking Dead: LA.    I'm a big fan of cataclysms and Los Angeles.  It's my favorite city to be cinematically destroyed.

We have a supermajority in both houses of congress in TN to go along with the governor's mansion.  We passed far more restorative measures re Article 1 Section 26 when we had a Democrat for governor and a basic 50/50 split for the legislature .  The more one sided it gets, the less we get done in Tennessee. NRA loves Lamar Alexander, the only Republican Senator to vote against the permit carrier to be allowed to keep their lawfully owned firearm in a Federal Park. We shgould not back parties, bur rather principals, and individauls.

If you had a real Conservative Leadership group it would be one thing, but Haslam has shown that he is willing to put an iron foot down on "expanding gun rights", which in truth should be termed "restoring gun rights". Till the current Leadership group which holds monetary sway on the big PACs changes, the little people will do what the Big Man says. Always remember politicians care more about getting re-elected than any other single thing.

  She can find work elsewhere.  These are people's kids that she is playing Cesar with.  There is no margin for error there.

My friend, teacher and mentor Colonel Dwight Mclemore ordered a new knife from me about a month ago. He sent me a very detailed drawing of what he wanted for his long hunter kit that he is putting together. According to him, this represents closely what would have been a normal blade style at that time. Very plain, blacksmith made, no guard, heavy duty kitchen knife. I have to say after seeing it in steel it screams all utility no frills. This one is special, as it was forged qnd finished by my dad, at 61 yrs old. This is the first knife made for a customer entirely by him, he usually just watches and advises. Now on to the good stuff. Its made from 1/4" thick 5160. The back of the blade was hammer textured and everything was left forge finished at the Colonels request. 10" blade, 5 1/4" handle. Handle is oak, fitted with brass pins and epoxy, and artificially aged. By far the coolest design picture I've ever seen. Hand drawn by Dwight. The hands that make the knife. Thats 60 years of experience, hard work, scars and calluses. These hands taught me everything I know. For those of you who know me, you can kinda compare the size. For size reference I am 6'1" and 250 lbs so it is a good sized knife.

Had a couple of great days fishing the beach this week down in Seagrove Beach. Caught this redfish that was just in the slot within 20 minutes of my line hitting the water. It's rare that you get to share such a treat with family and friends, but the meal that this fish provided was a true blessing - blackened redfish over smoked Gouda cheese grits.

He shot Pete. They were talking about the "porch dick" going limp on The Talking Dead. A reference to Pete sitting on the porch a few episodes back.

Nice spot. My daughter loves fishing when we go to Florida. Here are a few she caught a few years ago. [URL=http://s196.photobucket.com/user/kahrman/media/Fish2-1.jpg.html][/URL]

And, really.... Daryl and Aaron getting out of the car that was totally surrounded by zeds and making it to safety without a single bite or scratch? I know Morgan came to the rescue, but he could only handle Aaron's side and Daryl had to fight his way out by himself.    I'm calling BS on that one.  :rofl:

  Fort Campbell's rules seem to be modeled after how I dress when I ride every time I get on my bike, except they seem to have left out gloves. Wouldn't blow my mind a bit.   Again, everyone seems OK with these laws that don't affect them. So why then do we not support "common sense" gun laws that are aimed at those who "can't take of themselves"? It's exactly the same thing. We either need laws that treat us like children that can't make our own decisions or we don't. I choose don't.

That's some good stuff! We took my kids fishing at the beach for the first time a few years ago. My little one caught this redfish on that tiny little rod with 4lb line, a hook, and a bobber. It weighed nearly as much as him. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to keep it, but the kids had a blast. We're planning to go to St. George in the fall. If you happen to know, what are the fishing regs there and are there any good spots?

WHOA!!! Best episode of the season. Best of the last several seasons for me. Lots of things to comment on, but in a nutshell...Glenn's condition?, more walkers in the compound?, Nicholas needs to go, priest needs to go, and of course... Morgan is British!!! LOL Best line on TTD tonight. Later guys.

My family was visiting Pigeon Forge last weekend. On our way home we stopped at a Cracker Barrel before hitting the interstate. We had an older gentlemen that waited on us that obviously didn't have much experience with serving. He was very polite and after our order he said let this old Marine get this order in. By the time our breakfast was done he had been probably the most polite and courteous waiter I have ever had. A friend from home was in the restaurant and we picked up his bill. Anyway for our waiter we had left a tip that was almost the total of the bill. While we where checking out he ran out to make sure we meant to leave that much. Wanted to know if he was supposed to split with the other waiter which we told him no. That the tip was for the great service for the meal and to our country, he almost was in tears and said thanks that he was working there because both of his boys where overseas and his daughter in law was in Korea. He has his grandchildren for eleven months til they get home , and needed every penny he could make for the kids. Just thought that was worth sharing about the kind of people this country never hears about.

We are just close enough the Nashville that some of the liberal crap bleeds over.

By far the best episode in a long time. I don't mind that no one big died, I think they did a very good job with the episode. 

Guess I'll have to take your word for it.

The Gurkhas are some tough dudes. Lot's of incredible stories about them from the WWII era particularly. Among other things living in the high altitude and training vigorously there gives them what seems like super human strength and endurance. There was a ruckus awhile back where some WWII veterans where being denied some benefits in the UK, I hope they got it squared away for those guys. Plenty of dead nazis on their credentials.

Thanks for the ideas, sounds like plenty to do. BBQ is definite and the wife decided she wants to see the grand ole oppry. Id like to meet up with some members but unfortunatly cant make any in cement plans ( havent been able to do that since getting married) :surrender:

That's why you don't pick up brass during the match

Hook up a couple of trailers and drive to the front gate. After all ... despite being several years into it; gas is in infinite supply to run cars and trucks and what not ... ... ...

I don't know if you're into Civil War history, but you could go see the Sam Davis home.  It's in Smyrna.  He was a Confederate courier who was captured and hanged for a spy.  IIRC the house has a sizable outdoor area where you could let the dogs work off some energy.

    Me either...but, then again.....Glenn is Korean ninja.  

What's up with the scene where Sasha snuggles with the walkers in the grave? That was a little creepy I thought.

  This is SO true. We had all these rights until post civil war, so in reality we are restoring rights, not expanding gun rights-which is an oxymoron because rights are rights, if you expand them, you didn't have the rights in the first place.

Fwiw, shot some on steel yesterday and it don't shoot straight. ;)

New show this summer. "Fear the Walking Dead" set in LA during the outbreak. Might be interesting. JTM Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This season redeemed the show for me. Last few were a touch boring.

That's not at all unusual. All barrels have tight spots. Tight at the muzzle is good! You don't need to lube your barrel at all. Only grease it for storage. Other than that, your patch lube is all you need. Just out of interest, what's the gun?

Love beach fishing. Digging sand fleas was always my daughter's favorite. 

I have mowed the lawn 3 times so far this year. Haven't spilled a drop. I love these cans. Filling the mower from the 1-gallon can is bliss compared to those stupid communist cans.

This priest gets on my nerves

I'm gonna be pissed if the priest doesn't get eaten.   - OS

Drink.

Denzel Washington Book of Eli? No....wait.... Ray Park, Darth Maul? No, that's not it... It's Morgan!!!!!

  The Tennessee "Katrina Law" is found in:   TCA 58-2-107.  Emergency management powers of the governor   One line was added to very end:   (m) "During any state of emergency, major disaster or natural disaster, the state, a political subdivision or a public official shall not prohibit nor impose additional restrictions on the lawful possession, transfer, sale, transport, carrying, storage, display or use of firearms and ammunition or firearm and ammunition components."   and another modifed to:   (e)(8) [The Governor may ...] "Suspend or limit the sale, dispensing, or transportation of alcoholic beverages, explosives, or combustibles, which terms shall not be construed to include firearms, ammunition, or firearm or ammunition components"   Note however that in confrontation with a LEO, at least in the short run mace, tasers, batons and guns beat paper every time.   - OS

That was a great gesture for sure and you can bet he appreciated it............................ :usa: :usa: :usa:

Friend has one. It shoots great! For the size of the gun, the recoil is almost nothing!

Wonderful story. And an even better act on your part.

We had 7 adults and 9 kids down there. That redfish fed everyone. We made fish tacos with the pompano. We didn't want a single bite of the meat to go to waste, so we all ate until we were stuffed. We got to have some good conversations with a bunch of the kids, too - several of whom don't really come from sporting families. We got to talk about what it means to consume meat, and why some of us think it's important to participate in the food chain - how getting literal blood on our hands makes us more fully appreciate the proverbial blood each of us omnivores has on our hands. My oldest daughter and I have had this conversation before, and she really got it this time. It's neat because when we shared the meal that the redfish provided with our family and friends she really understood the almost sacred act that those meals represent to so many of us.

Was coming home from an 8 hour road trip, come across a check point right near the house and when I finally got up to the row of deputies, I wound up with a young deputy and he waved me through, I asked what the checkpoint was about and he (hesitantly) said a seatbelt check.    He was irritated that they were doing this from what I could sense and see in his eyes. Rightfully so, it was ugly situation in this great country.   Ive got a some pretty patriotic LEO's in my community and I've wondered how many of them are members here.

I thought it was a fine haircut for a seven year old boy.   WTF?   

Also, never leave home without your pistol. :)

It starts at the beginning. Don't give him the bird. I know this isn't what you are looking for, but I really try not to flip people off.

Proper thing to do? Probably not flip off someone over something so trivial.

Two other possibilities. The first is a variant on Leroy's post:   One part Murphy's Oil Soap One part hydrogen peroxide One part 90% isopropyl rubbing alcohol   The other is one part Ballistol to 10 parts water.   With either, mix well before use.  Swab the barrel generously with the mix, run a dry patch, then lube as you would normally.

Ruger could sell more new AK-47's than Mini 14's and Mini 30's combined.
