I've spent 50+ years in 'big snow' country - we'll get thru this! :) The problem is the drivers, not the snow. . . . . well, there is a lack of adequate plows and salt trucks . . .

It's the high quality dope.

If anyone in Clarksville needs to be pulled out or needs groceries feel free to hit me up and Ill try to help out Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

They had weapons?  Of course they did.  They are in the military, and likely these were MPs, or whatever they call them in the Marines (a**holes?).  They're supposed to have guns.  So this is what I'm trying to understand:   1. Person on bike breaks law, ignores sign which tells them not to trespass on base. 2. Military police have guns. 3. Person is surprised to be fined and have their vehicle impounded for illegally trespassing onto a military installation. 4. Person is surprised that law enforcement have guns.   What makes people from California so ****ing stupid?  Is it genetic?  Brainwashing?  Lead in the water?

Some of you frequent fliers may like this one....   Being airborne approximately 30 minutes on an outbound evening Air Lingus flight from Dublin, the lead flight attendant made the following painful announcement in her lovely Irish Brogue...   "I'm so very sorry, but it appears there has been a mix-up...by our catering service. I don't know how this happened, but we have 103 passengers on board, and...unfortunately, we have received only 40 dinner meals. I truly apologize for this mistake and inconvenience..."   When all the muttering died down, she continued..."Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so that someone else can eat...will receive free, unlimited drinks for the duration of this 4 hour flight."   Her next announcement came about 2 hours later...   "If anyone would like to change their minds...we still have 40 dinners available."

Merica!!

I'd be okay if I never saw snow again unless I get on a plane to go to it.   I live in the south for lots of reasons.  Snow and ice is not one of them.

I am originally from Michigan and have lived in New England.  Anything less than 6 inches is just flurries. 

A microphone that's always on and connected to the network...if that's not a privacy invasion waiting to happen, I don't know what is.

I'm was getting things stirred up here this morning, and decided to take a look outside.  Peeked through the window and all I could see was white!  It's absoultly pouring the snow here!  I'm over it already, and cant wait until it's Spring so I can start working in my garden.

I prefer the Marlins. I have a couple of 1895's in 45-70. They are both great looking and shooting guns. My other 45-70 is a Ruger No. 1. That would be my second choice. [URL=http://s196.photobucket.com/user/kahrman/media/DSCF0042.jpg.html][/URL]

Coming down so hard I can't see my neighbors' houses. Love being retired: Food for five days, a freshly cracked bottle of Monkey Shoulder and plenty of Samurai DVDs. Don't intend to crack back door until Sunday!

I'd fight over $60.

My slammed rice burner goes fine in snow with proper tires. I prefer FWD in the snow over RWD. My Mustang is fun, but not prudent in adverse conditions. I tend to drive my wife's car in snow and ice. Replacing parts on my rat rod import would be impossible if some idiot smacked her. I find that it is most of the people that think they know how to drive in the snow are the dangerous ones. I have a million miles under my belt in all weather and I still get nervous in adverse weather. Also crotch rocket refers to a motorcycle, not a car, get your slurs right or it just makes you look silly instead of foolishly opinionated. Sent from my LGLS740 using Tapatalk

  The problem with Clarksville isn't so much the drivers as it is the roads not being prepped and not having enough plows.  I dealt with many winters up there, and I wouldn't drive on it.  Just a few years ago a storm hit just as I was leaving work.  It should have been a 10 minute drive home but it took an hour.  I witnessed somewhere over 2 dozen accidents on the way home, and probably as many cars stuck in the median after losing control.  The issue was it rained, then snowed and the roads weren't treated.    I don't care where you come from or what you drive, the laws of physics still applies.  I'm from Florida, but drove plenty in places where they get a lot more snow, such as Michigan.  I took my southern ass out driving after getting at least a foot of snow.  No problem at all.  In most parts of Tennessee, however, the roads don't get pre-treated and there aren't enough plows.  This is why it shuts everything down.  It's not that people are just all stupid.  I'll add, some of those wrecks were idiots in 4wd's, who were driving like a**holes because they thought everyone was stupid and their 4wd has some kind of magical powers which nullify the laws of physics.  It don't matter if you're in a 4wd or not; when you're on ice you are not in control, and you can't stop any quicker than anyone else.

Count me in!  I'd rather have 4 hours of unlimited drinks than an airline meal. :cheers:

The real test would be if we had a loss of power. But so far so good! And no I don't really want to shut my breakers off today to simulate a power outage! :)

I just got done digging my patrol car out from the snow. Tonight is going to suck! Can't even go do donuts in the parking lots anymore thanks big brother.

It's spitting it like crazy here on the plateau. I don't know how many inches we are at but it is pretty much a blizzard at this point. Due to Jackson County not plowing most of the back roads we're here until it clears up a bit. Which is sad because I could use a donut or two right now from Ralph's.

Out n' about this morning early.  For future reference, Publix doesn't open until 7am.  It's snowing cats, dogs, leopards, and lions here in West Nashville.   ... and if one of us is the perfectly healthy douchebag who parked right in front of the front door of Publix... on the main drive - and left his vehicle there for >30min while he shopped, he should be flogged with pool floaties until he repents.  sheesh.   Having kids in that age where this stuff is like magic, I'm looking forward to a fun day!

I am disappointed, Murfreesboro is still rain!  We are about to close to office down so everyone can get home safe. I'm thinking about heading out to trout fish if I think it will be safe enough. I would be heading south so I might be ok :)

The hills play a big part too. Some of my northern family can't believe I leave my house when it snows because of the hills.

I carry the sig p238 in a Desantis Nemisis pocket holster in my front pocket..  I have carried all the usual suspect pocket 380s (Kel Tec, Ruger LCP, etc), most of them in a Galco pocket protector holster.  I switched to the Sig p238, which I had owned for years but never carried because I prefer SA/DA weapons (bigger SIgs).  I switched to the p238 because I decided in my mind that it is just a better shooting weapon than the other 380s that I have carried.  It just feels "better" when I rack the slide and when I shoot.  Plus it has real sights, which I really like.  I carried a Diamondback .380 for a while, which is my second favorite.  Again, the Sig just SEEMS more reliable to me, in my mind.  I practice drawing it all the time and have never had any issues with the hammer snagging.  I REALLY like the Desantis Nemisis holster, which seems to work as described (it is kind of "sticky" and stays in my pocket when I draw.)  I carried a Galco pocket holster before and it is a rough suede on the outside which grabbed well at first, then when it got dirty and worn, the suede just kind of polished down to smooth leather, and did not grab as well to my  pocket when I would draw the weapon.  I bought the Desantis because the Galco did not totally cover the trigger of the sig like it did with previous 380s, but only AFTER I bought it did I realize how much I like it.  With the Galco, I just kind of pushed down on the top of the holster when I would draw the weapon to break the tension.  I would still be doing that if I had not discovered the Desantis Nemesis (if it covered the trigger, of course).  I have never had the safety come off in my pocket.  I did engage the safety once when I had the slide off.  The little spring and pin shot out about 20 feet and it took me about 90 min to find them on the floor of my garage.  If you get a sig and decide to clean it, avoid putting the safety on with the slide OFF, if you can help it.  Trust me on that one.

Never heard of a Rick of wood till I moved here. Since then I've searched it and have come to believe it is a mythical specific ameasurement of wood (lol) I guess it's like anything else with regional influences. Wood is a lot of work no doubt but there is nothing like having a fire goin! Those of you wanting to get some wood hauled off PM me if your within an hour of Jefferson City, I'll be your huckleberry :)

Got an e-mail from Anthony Imperato yesterday saying they are about ready to start shipping the H012M41.  (41 Mag. Big Boy Steel) And to get the word out if I was on any forums.   I know that a lot of people don't care, but there are a few of us that love our 41's. I've been wanting a rifle to go with my Ruger BH for some time now. And those Marlins are just way toooooo pricey for me.   Well anyway I did as I was asked. Hope this is something that a few might find interesting. Have a good day. RP

http://www.grindtv.com/bike/u-s-marines-crack-down-on-trespassers-confiscate-45-mountain-bikes/#kefYaECik1iUbDDl.97   The following bit made my day!   "The encounters were somewhat intimidating, as the Marines wore flight suits and toted weapons."   umm... they are Marines?  Marines on their own base?  - Marines based at Miramar... you know... the base formerly known as that "Top Gun" place...?

A few weeks ago I had a "catching up" dinner with an old school chum who happens to be a lawyer. We managed to hit upon the 2nd Amendment in our rambling (after I had mentioned target shooting) and he says how when the 2nd Amendment was written weapons just weren't as powerful as they now are. Obviously implying a revisionist need to at the least modify the 2nd Amendment. I said, "so then we should also apply that logic to the 1st Amendment and only allow free speech when it is an "in person" exchange and not allow free speech when leveraged by the Internet or other new powerful means of communication?" He just looked at me with no comment. I thought lawyers were analytical types. Good thing he's not a Constitutional Lawyer arguing a case in the Supreme Court. Folks like this give me migraines! : / Now back to the thread about hot journalists!

Anybody remember the Ruger #3s in 45/70? They always quit making the cool stuff.  :shrug:

I just looked at the I40 cams in Nashville - that road is fine.  You could drag race on it.

  I'm sure, after the fire, they were looking for an out.....

5-1/2" + om West Meade.... In the lower yard it feels more like 8 or 9.

No trout fishing today :( this is what we have at my house. I'm south of Murfreesboro. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice. The prices on the Marlins are ridiculously stupid.

Got about 5 inches at my place in Gallatin right now and flakes as big as silver dollars still falling................. :dropjaw:

It coming down really hard in Gallatin. I believe they finally got one right. I believe it wasn't supposed to stick until this afternoon and its sticking on the roads here. I wouldn't be shocked if we end up with 6+ inches which factoring the northern/southern snow conversion chart puts this as the equivalent of ten feet in The North. Stay safe.

It hasn't reached me here yet and I'm already tired of it.

    Man I was on the search for one of those Marlin .41's years ago and couldnt believe how much more they wanted than the .357 model.  If these are reasonable, I will have one!!!

I have a friend that says, "Bragging about your Glock collection is kinda like bragging about your collection of teal Chevy Cavaliers."   These on the other hand are like bragging about the spinners on your collection of teal Chevy Cavaliers.

If what you have has run your AR without fail, why change?  Unless you are after the aesthetics or maybe lightening one up etc., I would go with what you have.

"Republicans" are responsible for Trump just as "Democrats" are for Clinton and Sanders. Maybe they should stop lining their pockets, stop pissing and moaning, and do their jobs as servants of the American People. As to "stupid of the day", I think you missed quite a few other contenders.

For $900?  Haha, no.

I have both CZs and Sigs.  I prefer the CZs.  Both are well made guns.  It's going to boil down to personal preference. To me, the Sig has a high bore axis, feels clunky in my hand, and the decocker irritates me.  The CZ75/85 series is handgun perfection for what 'feels right' to me.   I'm not fond of polymer or strikers.  But I carry an XDs .45 because it's the best tool for the job.  I used to carry a Star PD .45.  But it's getting a bit well-worn.  And they weren't renowned for their service longevity. 

I think I am going back to being parsimonius. :)
