I'm all for the address AND humiliation. Act like a peice of :poop: get treated like a peice of :poop: I hold most animals I come into contact with in greater esteem than 99% of the humans on this planet. Animals aren't the virus that strangles the life out of this world. It's humans. If having your address posted and pride assaulted is a problem for anyone, there's a simple solution; don't abuse animals. Amazingly simple huh?

Feel free to add your own insight. This is not a debate but rather opinions that will not be changed but name calling and belittlement of others.    Unfortunately for members of the next generation, it appears they won’t be living in the same sort of America where I had the good fortune of growing up. Of course, there’s still time for a course correction, but it better happen quick. These three short sentences do a pretty darn good job of showing us where we’ve got it all wrong.   We are told not to judge all muslims by the actions of a "few terrorists" but we are encouraged or even belittled to judge all gun owners by the actions a few lunatics or felons that aren't even supposed to legally own a gun in the first place? Funny how that works.   We constantly hear about social security running out of money. How is it we never hear about welfare and food stamps running out of money? The first group worked for their money while the second...not so much. Think about it for a second and let that soak in.   Why are we cutting benefits to veterans and cutting back the size of our military to pre-WWII levels but are not stopping payments/benefits to illegal aliens or whatever we are supposed to call the now? Am I the only one missing something?   Anyway...have fun with this and feel free to add your own ideas without belittling your fellow TGO members.

12 - Kate Web act... Sounds to me like this is the creation of a mandatory DNA database...       On a lighter note: I'm pretty sure I used to be married to a class 1 carnivore. A chip would have been useful in narrowing down which bar she was drunk in when I had to go find her...

I resolve to get at least one knee replaced.

My daughter asked me yesterday if we could go shooting, this only took 21yrs to happen :).   Her only experience with a gun prior to today only involved a squirt/nerf/bb gun. :rolleyes:   So I pulled out 3 pistols, ammo and range bag and went out into the backyard, started off with a bodyguard 380, shot several mags with/out the laser, then broke out the 9mm's, first was a Beretta 92F, then a PX4 storm compact, shot a couple 100rds, her favorite was the 92F, as we were finishing I told her to sit still because I needed to go back to the house to get something, as I return she was puzzled by me holding a rifle and a mag, I was in hurry up training mode as it was getting dark, I told her to shoot 10rds one at a time (not in the video), then had her rotated the selector, the giggling made me remember my first time shooting FA.....best hour I've spent in a longtime...   https://youtu.be/ZWPSUnW9d2U  

crap.  I ate them tonight.

I resolve to ... eat nachos.  tomorrow.

HRH Daisy Mae Bluebelle Bonnet has landed in the fair woods of Jackson County. We got to meet up with R.M. and his family today to get her. I felt like a huge jerk taking a dog from the cutest little girl, but the dog was really cute too and I knew it was the right thing. Had she started to cry, they would've been stuck with her. LOL So here is HRH Daisy Mae Bluebelle Bonnet when we first got home. I opened the back of the truck to let her sniff a bit. [url=http://s166.photobucket.com/user/predsgirl33/media/Daisy/195_zpsaqzsuevx.jpg.html][/URL] She rode really well in the truck. She whimpered when we left RM and family and she bayed while I pumped gas down the road but once we got on 40 she was quiet as a church mouse and that's pretty awesome. So this next picture is HRH Daisy Mae Bluebelle Bonnet scoping out her goods from TSC. Knowing she wasn't an "indoors dog" I got her a cheap bed. If she pees on it or tears it up oh well. We also have her crate with pine shavings for her too. She got 2 rope bones, 3 pig ears, 2 L Shapes some part of a cow bones, a water bucket and food dish and a huge bottle of shampoo because, RM was very right. She's kinda stinky. [url=http://s166.photobucket.com/user/predsgirl33/media/Daisy/202_zpsgvkbe2pu.jpg.html][/URL] This is HRH Daisy Mae Bluebelle Bonnet eating. She got dry food and 2 fresh eggs from the coop. [url=http://s166.photobucket.com/user/predsgirl33/media/Daisy/205_zpsjo021l09.jpg.html][/URL] She cannot seem to keep her ears out of the food. We'll work on that and a few other things as we go along. The good news is, I have chosen a rescue to assist Monkey and I. As you all know we have a large pack at 7. I want to try to make it 8. But it might not work out. The rescue is going to let me use their discounted prices at the vet. Which is AWESOME. She has an appointment for Tuesday, she will get a full check up, all vaccines, heartworm and parasite tests, ears flushed and grooming if I can't get the stink out myself. My only concern at this point is that she has never had heartworm preventative. So I am a bit worried about that and if it will come back positive or not. No matter what, she will get ANYTHING and EVERYTHING she needs. Monkey and I are going to do introductions to the pack over the long weekend and hope that it can click. If not, we will just foster until a home becomes available. Some of you have reached out and offered financial assistance to me via PM. I want to thank you for that. If Monkey and I keep her, we will pay for everything ourselves. However, if we cannot keep her due to the pack, at that point I will announce the name of the rescue that is covering the costs and if you want you can then donate to the rescue. They are a 501c3 so it is a tax deductible item. I'll be sure to keep you updated on progress and what not. For now she's resting and quiet which is a good thing.

Be more faithful in my prayer life and spread the good news with compassion, conviction, grace and love

I hereby resolve to make no resolutions.

I got the 30 year warranty type when we had to re-roof my house after the 2011 hail storm.   ..........................Dah! wrong shingles!  :(

Spend more time blacksmithing. Drink more. Start distilling my own alcohol. Spend more time with my motorcycle club. Spend more time with my family. Work less. The work is the one that gets in the way of all the others. I worked an average of 84 hours a week this year. 7 12's gets really old. Sent from behind the anvil

She is still working on relaxing but she'll get there. She is an amazing girl. She just needs time, love and patience.

Things I'd like to do in 2016... Get my life back under control at work.  Delegate more, tolerate less, reduce stress. Drop 50lbs of fat by July. This starts with the point above. Re-invest more of myself into TGO. Start moving away from making money for other people, and toward making it for myself.

Sounds like fun to me. I use to bum weapons from Team 3. They offered up all I could ever want or use for our training purposes. Didn't even ask me to clean them when we brought them back. My buddy was a platoon leader. It was good have friends. :)

Some years ago i traded a nice Kimber Classic Custom in and got a Glock 21SF, some might think I was crazy for doing that, with that kimber I was more accurate with that and it's nice single action trigger pull, I was getting nice groups at 25 yards all in and around center. I would shoot a mag and about after mostly 6 rounds it would miss feed,(not chamber fully). I had a Mec-Gar mag, a Chip McCormic Shooting Star mag along with the two Kimber factory mags so quality mags were not the problem, it happened with all of them. Polished the feed ramp to a mirror, changed the 16lb. spring to 18lb., nothing I did fixed the miss feeds, shot probably over 1000 rounds through it also, AND I DON'T F-ING LIMP WRIST EITHER.  Well I got this ugly plastic Glock 21 with a plastic recoil spring rod with two plastic 13 round factory mags, trigger not nearly as nice as a single action trigger but you get used to it, big fat grip and groups at least in a kill zone. I don't name my guns but if I did I would call my G-21 BUBB for Big Ugly Black Brick. But, every time I have pulled the trigger for 2000++ rounds it went bang, even when a few hundred rounds already had been shot and it was dry and full of carbon from nasty/dirty old Winchester White Box ammo it kept going bang every trigger pull. Never, not once has it malfunctioned and i like that most of all.

How long until the recall?

To raise my skill level when it comes to pistol shooting.

I pay a shitload in taxes. I am good with my tax dollars going to this. Shame and humiliation are right in my wheelhouse. I feel no pity for anyone who would do enough to be convicted of animal abuse.

I wonder if any Somalians are ski instructors.

They'll be fine. They're a double minority living in Colorado. The liberals are probably spilling their white mocha gluten free half caff lattes trying to give them free stuff.

I resolve to live to see 2017 and fish more this year than I did the past year and make a trip to the range at least once each month and most important,  quit smoking and put that money into healthy stuff................. :ugh: 

I thought since we are showing off some big smallies I would add some a friend of mine catches on Dale Hollow using my Floating Flies we make in winter time. He uses 8 lb Braid with a 4 lb fluorocarbon 8 foot leader on FNF rods.

  My Grandparents are rolling over in their graves. And yes, sadly, as w/ the welfare forms published in Spanish, you will likely see it coming to this country soon, also. Sad but true. It's things like this that spawn revolutions (the failure of disparate groups to integrate into a cohesive singular 'society', not immigration in general).   - K

I really want to start commuting to work by bicycle. It's completely doable I just need to nut-up and do it. I need a few warm weather accessories but other than that it's not much. It's a bit far,10miles, but I can do that in 40-45mins. We'll see how it goes.

Agreed I've spent more time with my son, this is what countless hrs of call of duty gets yah..lol https://youtu.be/5VR-BvpQx78

  When I was working in Afghanistan, I got back into working out in a big way.  Time and facilities were there for me, so I took advantage of it.  I used this website to study a good bit and put together a workout plan.  Very easily laid out and the .gif's for examples on form are great. http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html

Regardless if it's Kalifornicate seizing guns or Tennessee seizing cash it just amazes me how the government gets more like the Gestapo every day and the public allows it to go on. It's the direction our country is heading and that can't be denied.

Ported guns don't ruin your night vision. That's been disproven multiple times.

Update:     FedEx just dropped the pistol back off at my office.  I shipped it to them with the pistol and magazines only.  They sent it back with a Glock tupperware box, complete with cleaning brush etc.. According to the invoice they replaced both magazines, the slide stop, the trigger bar, trigger housing and ejector.  I will report back once we can get it to the range.  

I don't do the IDPA shoots on Wednesday, we go to church, so I don't know what the different guys are running there.   And I'm not talking about the SR1911's. I think we can all agree that those are really good ones.   I have sold many SR9's and 45's to a lot of folks coming in looking for either Glocks or M&P's. Yes, price point helps. I had a guy in last week, wearing a Glock hat, shirt, and the "I'm ALL about Glock" attitude. He wanted a 43 BAD. I showed it to him, and he did all the inspection and said he'd take it. I said, "Before we do that, let me just show you one more thing." I handed him an LC9s. I explained it held one more round than the 43, and I wanted him to just try the trigger. He did the fondling, pulled the trigger, looked at me wide eyed, looked at the price tag, and said, "Uh... uh... I'll take that instead!"   There's nothing wrong with M&P's or Glocks or XD's OR Rugers. All are fine guns. I've never understood the outright hatred some folks exhibit for anything that isn't THEIR favorite brand. Some people are just "label ho's," as my wife says, lol, and they never look past the brand. Sometimes something outside of your favorite brand just might be a better fit for you; you just may never know it until someone takes the time to show you.   One of MY favorite 9's? Lol... my Canik TP9sa. Absolutely LOVE the way it fits ME.

Fix my teeth. Buy a new vehicle. Simple list but a spendy one. Better add one more.... Make more money.

Cause he couldn't figure out how to get a double stack into a Ruger MK series.

Thank you! Got you and ALL my TGO brothers and sisters in my daily prayers.

ORSA is super nice. I just wish it wasn't so far away.

  Man in the Wilderness was an excellent flick, too:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeJp7cvcpwg   - OS

The creators of this law would be our legislators. They won’t be held personally responsible. We have criminal databases now that are full of errors. They are protected from lawsuits unless there is criminal intent or gross negligence . And if a lawsuit is won; yes, the taxpayers pay the bill just like everything else. We live in the information age. So give us access the information. Innocent citizens have the right to access this information; criminals do not have a right to keep it private.

ORSA is great. If you want I would be glad to show you around.

Their business, their rules. Christians are mandatoried to work Sundays and no one bats an eye. Muslims don't get their extra 10 min breaks and everyone loses their minds.

There is supposed to be a new vaccine out soon that increases your chances of not getting it from 50% to 75%.

Looks like they extended to March ... https://nra2016.org/SignIn

I have one in my hand right now. Guys, it is truly an excellent offering. The trigger is similar (but better) to the new XD Mod 2. Definitely worthy of consideration.

What distance are you shooting it at? Where is it hitting? Have you had someone shoot it to verify groups? In my experience its usually not the sights but a shooters habit. Don't take that as insult because it may not at all be the case for your gun. I just like to remove all variable before adjusting.

Full disclosure: I'm a huge S&W fanboy. (Shocker!) I have most flavors of M&Ps and 2 Shields already. This porting and stuff isn't enough to make me buy another. As many have stated, the Shield is already a super soft shooting pistol. I took two first timers shooting last night. Both will be getting Shields soon. Recoil was a non-issue for either him or her. For folks who haven't already gotten a Shield this may pull a few more buyers off the fence. However, for folks who already have them I don't see that much of a difference to merit another purchase. It's like if the next major redesign of your favorite sports car was to add a spoiler and different wiper blades. Not enough to make it worth a switch. Ruger just released another striker gun. IMHO it's terrible looking and doesn't seem to offer anything new, but at least they did something altogether new and different. I'm wondering when Smith is going to do something substantially new, vs just offering an ugly carbon fiber frame or porting. :/ The world has enough plastic guns at this point, I'd love to see them do a fully modern steel frame gun of some sort again. I'd pay double plastic gun price for something really nice. Heck. Just re-release the 5906 with some minor refreshing and I'd be on board, lol!

 Elk are massive creatures, I have had a pack of cows be 10 or so feet from me when elk hunting.  Don't have any plans to make it a petting zoo! lol

Over on some other sites, glocks have been used by certain seal teams for years.  I believe this latest decision was more budgetary and good lobbying by glock.   I like both, prefer Sig, but Glock will do.    I have said it before, Sig is like taking the trophy date to the prom, but Glock is the ugly one.  No worry, both will put out when needed.
