If you're my equal or my superior in the workplace, and I frequently have to hold your hand and show you how to do your job...I'm going to hate you, that's all there is to it. I'm not talking about training a new employee or helping you the first time you come into a new situation. I'm talking about the "you ought to know better" crowd. This has been a friendly workplace PSA ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As it seems divorce is a national trend these days I guess I beat the odds.     There was a day in my life I will always cherish. I was at the Naval Base near Chicago, cold, snowy, blustery windy day. I was headed back to post when this very cute girl stopped me to ask directions. I gave her directions and cautioned her on the not so good area we were in. I then followed her to the store. She was cute, very cute. I got her room number so we could meet later.    I remembered the room number but not the barracks number. So as I was smitten with her I checked every barracks in the area until I found the right one. Key words there are the “Right one”. We dated for a while then I was so smitten I asked her to share my life permanently. She said “Yes”!   That was 30 years ago today on May10th, 1986. Since then we have had ups and downs. She has put up with more than she should have. She has raised 3 great children and we have 2 grandkids! On this anniversary I wish to express my love for the ”Right one”.    So maybe this is not as romantic as others have been able to express but I am alas, not a poet. Just a husband that is very proud of his wife.  She has been my light and love for 30 years. I find that so hard to believe as it seems like yesterday. Happy Anniversary Jean! I love you as much today as the first frosty day we meant. I will cherish you always!   And to top it off my lovely bride like's guns!

Every other day someone on Facebook brags about their bicycle or running marathon they do or about to do, post the mileage and route although not too many people really care that much, just hit like to be polite. Here's my Facebook marathon for the day. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JMH42/media/Marathon_zpsw55idqpa.jpg.html][/URL]

One of the main reasons I'm in business for myself is that I don't want some dummy telling me what to do.

Knives have all shipped, Enjoy!

I was in the military for 26 years. Nearly every day was like that.

This is what my wife wants. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

And to make a statement about banning anyone that has a different opinion then yours should put you in the same camp as Hillary. So what should be done with you? :confused:

Been a loooong time since I last had access to a workshop, but I had a fun day today! Got this hunter profiled, ground & heat treated. O1 steel 3/16 thick. 4¼" blade fully flat ground at 62RWC. 5½" handle. I'm just waiting on some bar stock to come in for the pins, but I'll be handling it with blaze orange G10 with blue & white liners.

It's the same no matter where you go or what you do.

I feel the same way for the 1/2 marathon and marathon stickers on cars. I've thought of getting a bumper sticker saying no one cares how far you ran. :shrug:

  Yep, that's very much a lib point of view -- free speech, as long as it agrees with mine.   - OS

Sorry, it's not a gun this time. I've been single for about 14 years. I definitely enjoyed it. I never cared about having a real relationship....until about 5 months ago. A girl I went to high school with moved to the area. We hadn't seen each other since graduation years ago. We got in contact and after a few times seeing her I knew she was who I'd been waiting for. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to marry her. Just us two in a little chapel. She wanted to go to one of those old time photo places for some 'Cowboy Wedding' pictures. Being the smart man I am I said yes dear LOL. It was actually pretty fun. Here's a pic of my beautiful bride. Life is good people. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

All TGO Magic knives are Boxed up and ready to go to the Post office in the morning, my arms feel like they are going to fall off, as all the sharpening is done as well, These knives came out great, I now only wish I Got myself a Damascus one as they are very cool!

I have close to 40 and experience it every day. It's the accepted norm that I still find amazing.

If not for the wife saying "hell no!" I'd be building a house out of them. I've used them in a professional capacity several times and they work quite well as storage. As an added bonus, once you get the house built you can always find designs online to plumb and run power to the conex and turn it into a workshop or whatever.

I had deja vu like 5 times!

Congratulations and keep up whatever you two are doing.     In two weeks I will celebrate my 50th with my wife and two daughters.   I know a lot of guys that have been married 50 years but not to the same woman !

Give him the "live long and prosper" sign and move along.

Thanks folks. I couldn't be any happier...she likes to shoot! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Flip him the bird and hurl a piss jug at him.   Way of the road.

I am not planning on building a precision AR, but I am planning on building a AR in the future.  As someone who has never attempted it, these videos are great and set up an excellent blue print.  Thanks for posting.

I have had decent luck with the Northern Tool kits.  They certainly aren't the best quality, but they do ok for a specific task.  I have a solar powered shed using one of their kits - LED lights, chainsaw sharpener, and grinder.  Nothing that I expect long run times on and I only go in there a couple times a week, but it works.     For smaller applications, the Goal Zero stuff isn't bad.  I keep a small panel in my backpacking gear just to charge my phone on trips.  

  It all depends, but yes, it may fry it, just like it may fry other electronics. A good ole mechanical dial safe should be safe. (sorry, couldn't resist the pun).

For that size of a unit, I'd call around and see what it'd cost to charge it. If it were a cheap 5k btu unit then I'd just replace it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPvXnmBIO7o     It's a bit of smoke and mirrors from all accounts because the solar power panel isn't large enough to fill the bottle in a timely manner. This doesn't mean something better couldn't be worked out but it's going to take more power. What your basically dealing with is a miniaturized dehumidifier filling up the water bottle. It would take several days of continuous sunlight to work with the above mentioned self filling water bottle. 

My path is likely heading toward that of being the front office guy for my Dad's small machine shop. It's not really the dummy telling me what to do that I have a problem with, it's me having to show them how big of a dummy they are by showing them their job.

I drive 3k - 4k miles per month...folks don't drive so good...merging, signalling, acceleration / deceleration lanes aka on/off ramps, distance between vehicles, impeding the flow of traffic with excessive fast/slow speed and proper use of travel vs. passing lanes are not only foreign, but archaic. Patience, a good sense of humor, cat like defensive driving skills, allowkng for felays and the occasional, "wow, thought I had seen it all," makes for entertaining driving...

Fixed it for you :cool: [url=http://postimage.org/][/url] [url=http://postimage.org/]free upload[/url]

Yeah I'd say they don't want you dry fire practicing at the softball games huh!?!

I've got some dust to shake off!  

Congrats to both of you.

Call him a dirty samsquanch "A hero need not speak when he is gone, for the world will speak for him."

Not only the reliability, but if you do find yourself in court, the prosecuting attorney is going to use anything and everything to make you look like a cold-blooded calculating murderer. "You made your own ammunition so that you could make it more lethal didn't you? What? The standard ammunition wasn't deadly enough for you? They wouldn't do enough damage to this fine upstanding citizen who was only trying to ask you for directions in the middle of your living room at 2am? Don't change the subject to the crowbar and bowie knife in the victim's hands! The issue is that you intentionally and maliciously planned to take a person's life with your overpowered bullets, didn't you!"   Same thing goes for modifications to the firearm.   It's a lame argument, but one I'd expect to face if I were using reloads or a modified firearm. Odds of having a "gun person" on the jury are slim, much less 12 of them.

Congrats, +1000 :up:

Congratulations to you both. Sometimes the long wait is for the best.

I'm betting it does OK at the range :)

I just pee'd a little. That's beautiful!

I find that if I walk fast when retrieving a beer from the fridge, it satisfies my need to think I'm exercising ...

I don't see the safe indicated on your floor plan.  That is a problem!   I feel the same way.  If you need to seek gratification by telling the world every time you get a little exercise, you probably need some help that facebook can't provide.  

Drive on .....

The latest stuff says he used to have custody of her. It also has been said he has bought food and clothes that a kid would like. In the video he does not look concerned that sh ed might run from him. He is unloading drinks from the bottom front of the cart while she stands at the back of the cart. I think there is more to this than we know. I am not going to pass judgement yet but you bet if I see him i will follow him until the cops can catch him and straighten it out.

It's an SKS. If you can't fix it with a 2lb hammer & a crescent wrench, it's screwed.

I'm certainly no expert, but all the discussion and variations are because a Faraday cage is typically designed for a very specific set of circumstances.  It's designed to provide shielding from a known energy source (lightning, RF, electromagnetic, etc.), that may be inside or outside the cage.   Cages work both ways.... sometimes they're to protect what's outside the cage, sometimes they're to protect what's inside it, so they're inherently different.    I assume what you want is to protect your electronics from an EMP generated by a nuclear explosion.  That would be a large source of electromagnetic energy.  The only people who've researched that and really know the answer of what works is the government, and they're not talking about it.  So unless you know the energy signature (amplitude, frequency, etc.) of an EMP, you can't really make one specifically to block it.    Your idea of layering a few metallic containers with insulation will work as well as anything else.  The aluminum foil would probably repel a pretty low energy EMP.  The higher the energy you wish to repel, the more massive the metal structure needs to be so it has enough electrons to effectively block/transmit the energy away from what's inside the cage.  

Blame it on typing while tired and assuming that part would be assumed, which, I assume, was a bad assumption. :angel:  He sent some rounds with it. Yes, I'm going to shoot it soon as I get the chance and verify what he's talking about, then work on it. Which will probably be Thursday morning, I assume. :devil:  

CMTTac.com. Made right here in Tennessee.

  I'm the odd man out in thinking that both cases were the right call, but it doesn't make a difference in the end results...both were SCOTUS decisions that a large part of the country disagrees with based on their personal politics.   Also, both could be changed if the court takes a case that opens either back up, much as Heller took on established law at the time.   I'm just saying that conservatives have their own hypocrisy in liking/hating SCOTUS verdicts same as liberals.   

  I believe he's certainly pro-Trump.   - OS
