A U.S. Marine Colonel was about to start the morning briefing to his staff. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish brewing, the colonel decided to pose a question to all assembled. He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just how much of sex was "work" and how much of it was "pleasure?" A Major chimed in with 75%-25% in favor of work. A Captain said it was 50%-50%. A Lieutenant responded with 25%-75% in favor of pleasure, depending upon his state of inebriation at the time. There being no consensus, the colonel turned to the Private First Class who was in charge of making the coffee and asked for his opinion? Without any hesitation, the young Private First Class responded, "Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure. The colonel was surprised and as you might guess, asked why? "Well, sir, if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them." The room fell silent. God Bless the enlisted man.

Someone needed to start it, so I'll bite. Here's me and my General Lee at Ocean Way in Nashville.

Hey wait a minute.... ShamelEss plug... One of the nice things that I intentionally designed into the TGO decals is the fact that at a casual glance, they don't looK like a gun-RelateD decal. TheRe are So many Tennessee trI-star deals out theRe that people just see it as one of those unleSs they are really paying attention. EOKRDERSTIRS ORDER STICKERS

I made a small change to revert back to square profile pics (avatars). Like? Dislike? Indifferent?

On a good note, I heard over 4000 kids participated in the Eddy Eagle program here in Cumberland county. Parents were surprised to hear their kids singing the Eddy Eagle jingle when they got home from school. Only hope it continues and expands. http://ghoward9.wixsite.com/ccsheriffs/single-post/2016/02/15/Cumberland-County-Sheriffs-Office-to-Offer-Eddie-Eagle-Gun-Safety-Program

You want a deal on a lodge skillet? Go to a thrift store

I've got to say I just found a new version that I might like better.....

I use my phone as a watch these days when I'm not at my desk using the PC. Sadly as a working stiff with a seldom varied schedule, I can about tell you the time of day down to the quarter hour based entirely on what chore I happen to be in the midst of

Maybe that'll be enough to keep liberals from relocating to here.

Obnoxious smart phone is my timepiece, use appointment function on it...sometimes. The calendar beside my desk is my normal appointment book, if I don't forget to look at it. But all my appointments these days are docs. Usually set weeks ahead. Giving me to time forget them.

Here is a second gun resurrection post. This is a "how's it done" posting that I hope will be enjoyable as well as an informative posting. The Marlin #47 pictured here is one I bought on GB a few years ago. The 47 was made in 1930-31 and only given to investers who would buy at least 4 shares of Marlin stock for $100. It was also the First Marlin to get the new cyanide process color case hardened receiver. Of course it would have to be THIS rifle to be caught up in a fire! All the springs including the mag tube spring are still in good working condition making it a worthy project. This segment will deal with making a new pump handle since the wood on this was toast. I have already fitted a new semi inlet butt stock from Numrich Gun Parts. To find a piece of wood that may be the easiest to remanufacture into a handle, I found I had just the piece. It was an unknown broken butt stock that would save me one whole machine operation. The butt stock tang bolt hole happen to be slightly larger in diameter than the Marlins barrel OD. So I band sawed the stock to include half of the length wise hole. Once the chunk was cut out, it was a simple case of measuring the mag tube hole center below the barrel channel and putting V counter sink holes on the ends for turning the piece on centers. Here I match the OD to the original tho slightly over for later sanding. Once I had a round handle, it was easy to bore the mag tube hole centered in the 6 jaw lathe chuck to this raw pc. The next step was to mill in the action bar relief. The mag tube hole drill is set into the handle and then clamped snugly into the bench top mill so as to not crack the handle in the vise. A nice snug fit The action bar has a defined rust line where the wood covered it so that line was where I chucked the rusted end of the bar into the vise. I use a drill that would be the ID of the bar's attaching holes. That drill is put directly in line with the Bar hole and then the wood is slid on under the drill and a perfectly in line hole is born! Same pre line up the hole, then get the wood in between the bar & drill. Once the line up holes are in, the handle its self is chucked up and the holes bored to attaching screw OD. Then the screw escutcheon reliefs are bore to exacting depth. The escutcheons yet need to be sand blasted cleaned and blued before I press them in the handle, but here it is in the rought. The next segment will be the relining of the barrel.

I didn't find any other tread for it.

I am not a musician. I am a hack that makes noise with my instruments. If that counts here is a picture.

practice before the party!

In for #10 I hate you.

Man, if I could play like that at age 12, I'm thinking high school would have been very different.

Ladies and Gentlemen, as promised the TGO Godsons will happen this year, I can tell you now the price will be $225.00 shipped, they will be just like their Big Brother only smaller, at the same time I will be doing a Badass Blades Godson slightly different than the TGO one, the reason I have had several people ask me to do a Badass Blades one and this meets Protechs schedule of materials needed they will also be $225.00 shipped and not only sold here on TGO but elsewhere,

Not a bad choice, I think. As for me, I'll probably vote Trump because, well, he isn't Hillary and Johnson does nothing for me. Why, oh why couldn't a really GOOD third party candidate be running? This could have been the year a third party candidate won! Anyhow, if I do a write-in, instead, it will probably be for Kate Upton. I figure that as long as our choices for president are a couple of boobs I had might as well pick some I'd actually want to...um...support!

haha.....no

Let's get some trades going.... Who wants Adrian Peterson?

If you want a CZ that's NOT for carry, that's an excellent choice. Personally, I don't care for guns I can't carry.

Gents...we're drafted. May the best man (me) win!

Tennessee, the patron state of shooting ourselves and each other on accident.

Thanks to all that liked this joke. I try to post some fun stuff when I can, we need to lighten up every now and then. Some guys just take themselves to serious around here. Glad you enjoyed it.

I had my controls moved up and a carry handle added. I would highly recommend both. I can meet you at SE and let you try it if you would like before finalizing your order. Here is mine

From Wikipedia:

Just how reliable can this data be? Have you seen their "partners" list? https://safetennesseeproject.org/partners/ Possibly just a little biased...

All guns are always loaded.

This is how I buy of sell guns. Ask for or show my HCP or TN DL. Exchange cash for gun and walk away. If they do not have a HCP I ask if they are a prohibited person. If it is a complete stranger and not from TGO I do a few more things. I write their number on my hand, I also write their plate number on my hand and I generally audio record the transaction. No way I would ever give someone all that information. You are right, there are bad people out there but with their copy of the BoS they can do even more damage. I cannot think of a valid reason for that information. LE will already have all of that by the time they come knocking on your door. I would think becoming a victim of identity theft is a more realistic threat than getting in trouble because some jackwagon decides to break the law using a gun you sold to them.

Yep. The whole thing is maple. It was part of the raw power series from about 8 years ago or so. It's heasver than many LPs I've held, and right between the weight of the desert burst 08 Standard and that teal prototype in the picture. I put in the pickup set and white speed knobs from the Buckethead signature SG, and put locking grover keystones on there. A lot of folks hate the white accents. I love it. My only regret was not bugging Sherry in plastics to cut me a white pickguard for it.

Who cares? It's a beautiful CZ. Just buy it.

Question Answered. Thanks...

No, they are too busy kicking out someone who hasn't been convicted of anything and denying the 14th amendment rights of those under 21 because they want to keep sucking on the federal gov teet.

Thank you sir ..all fixed ..

It saddens me to see where we are as a nation on this 15th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Immediately following September 11th, 2001, the nation seemed united. People were proud to fly the flag - everywhere. The Sunday after 9/11, churches across the country were full to a capacity normally only seen during Christmas and Easter. We were all joined together in sorrow, anger, patriotism and resolve. Today? Today spoiled brat NFL players will "take a knee" instead of standing for our national anthem. Police and Fire departments have been made to remove the flag from their patrol cars and fire trucks because it might be offensive to someone. Useful idiots trip over themselves trying to appease radical Muslims rather than acknowledging that you cannot barter with cancer; cancer must be eradicated. Back when I was in elementary school, some 35 years or so ago, when you got punched in the face by a bully you didn't forget what it felt like. It hurt like hell and you remembered it. You did something about it. You never forgot it. I don't forget the first kid who punched me in the face. I whipped his ass for it and he never did it again. I don't forget the punch we took in the face as a country either. We whipped some ass for that also, but the bully hasn't learned his lesson yet. Does America have the resolve to finish the job? I honestly don't think we do. And maybe that's the thing that saddens me the most about this 9/11.

All of my childhood fears of going to the dentist have been validated.

i have never tried to justify a firearm purchase. saw it liked it AND it did not cause a problem will bill paying and i really wanted i bought it
