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 :)

  Don't know if I would go that far.......... 

How about the Winchester 1886 or the Taylors Ridge Runner.  Hickok45 just did a great review just this week on the Taylor.  I would like to find a good Winchester, but not at a collectors price.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnIaTPI7B24

I have a Romanian "Romy G" de-milled AK-47 parts kit. I need the use of the "Toth Tools"rivet driving tool. Anyone that has the AK-47 Toth Tools, please contact me so we can discuss my options. I'm located in Murfreesboro. Open to buy, rent or pay for help to rivet my Nodak Spud receiver. Thanks. Chuck

Don't rule out the new Marlins or (remlins) if you will. I collect Marlin leverguns, & always look for the presafety guns. With that being said I do own a (remlin) 1895 GBL guide gun in 45-70. The fit & finish is great even though I'm not a fan of checkering. The sights are spot on straight out of the box. & is actually my favorite Marlin to shoot besides my 1894 in 357 mag. Just don't rule something out without checking it out yourself if you have a chance.

There is also a difference between a "throwed" rick and a "stacked" rick in a truck ........usually about $10.....

Anybody go the yardstick out yet?   I guess I will.  :hyper:

Oh my god, the world is coming to an end, the messiah is returning, it's all over!!!! ....oh wait, no sorry, it's just a little snow. My bad.

I tried to binge watch it, but I kept dozing off. I saw a lot of it. It certainly is a weird case. I don’t know if he did it or not, but I think there should be a new trial. You don’t have an outside agency handle an investigation and then let people from the first agency work the case and have full access to the crime scene. There was no hand off of the case to the other county. You can’t believe anything Brendan said. ..period. He did not have the mental capacity to be involved in the trial. The car keys. They just appeared on the floor after the area had already been searched? Give me a break. Cops committed crimes that would send them to prison? Why? Just to convict him? That’s possible, but it would require multiple Deputies to be involved. The problem with getting a new trial is that they would need new evidence. The car, the keys, the bad cops, Brendan’s false confession, those things all played out in front of the jury. I don’t see where they have anything new. Maybe I need to try to watch it all the way through again and stay awake this time.

Definitely looks like the type of gal who likes to have her hair pulled.

I've got tire chains laying in the floor board of the truck. I've got work tonight, as well as full twelve hour shifts Saturday and Sunday. Aisin Automotive casting is a big believer in profit over people. Hopefully it doesn't get to bad down this way. Sent from behind the anvil

Remember the local tv stations like to hype it up so you will stay tuned to their radio station.    I really just read the NOAA weather reports.  I hate to say it, government weather forecasting might be better (less hype), but the eye candy of some of the weather girls are not too bad in the Knoxville market.

If you want unique side markings take a look at Spike's Tactical.

I'll take Robin Meade over this clap trap any day of the week. Robin can pull off the hotness without being slutty, and she's still able to do it at the age of 45.

Why did you choose the SA Sig over a double action without a safety? Did you ever snag the hammer on your clothes during a draw?

I carried a sig 238/938 in a Blackhawk size 3 for the past 3-4 years. Cocked and locked. Never had the safety come off

I have written my state representative and senator and ask that they support this issue.   EDIT:  My senator "Mae Beavers" was added to the list of sponsors today.

Glad to see experienced people taking the time to show newbies around. I grew up in a house w/ no guns, and didn't understand why as a youth I always enjoyed hanging at my one friends house (he was a boyscout, father an avid sportsman), and some friends of the family (good German family, hunters, etc.). In fact, was JUST lamenting w/ my parents the fact that I didn't get exposed to any of this stuff as a kid (they were chiding me for taking my children to the range). Had it not been for those .22's we'd sneak in Jeff's basement, I'd probably have never been exposed to it, and may have different views or political opinions now as a result. Pleased to say, my kids have ALL shot the .22 (rifle and pistol), and my oldest loves the 9mm, but he still doesn't like the 20-ga. If they grow up to be retarded liberals, at least they won't be ignorant one's! :lol: (Rant on) This softening and feminizing of the America's youth as promulgated in our public schools and single-mom homes today in the name of 'safety' will have far-reaching affects on our society, and already has (the very concept of a 'micro-aggression' existing is proof positive we've got 20-years worth of pussies to get through). Teach, teach your children well.... (Rant off)   - K  

I've had difficulty finding certain models right now. Im sure it's the Christmas effect. I checked 52 online dealers for a CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical. Nothing! Luckily I was smart enough to add myself to about 40 wait lists and got a call two days later. The shop got nine in and I got the last one. The store shelves look pretty bare in my area but it's filling back up slowly. The big box stores were really picked over. And why is Springfield releasing tons of new models after Christmas? Seems like a pretty epic marketing fail to me. Sent from the Fortress of Solitude.
