Milo and scooter on break

Very nice 2004 Ruger Blackhawk .357 with 4 5/8" barrel. Barely a cylinder turn wear present on this 20-year-old gun. Doubt it's been fired much. I have not fired it at all. $650 ... $600 GONE

“Leave The World Behind “ on Netflix. It seems very relevant to our world today and also has a nod towards prepping.

Here's my daughter, Maggie, with our purebred yellow labs Daisy and Shelby, and our pitbull / cattle dog mix, Barrett. We have always had a dog since we first got our own house. The kids grew up with a big 90lbs pitbull / black lab mix, Sebastian, who was so gentle that he'd let them bounce on his head, and so intimidating that the Jehova's Witnesses stopped knocking. Sebastian was a rescue, just like every dog we've had since. He was a 7 month old that was too much puppy for his original family to handle. Being black and a pit mix, he was not likely to be adopted. We found him at the pound on his last chance month, and he was the best-behaved dog anyone could ask for. When we moved to a house with property, Sebastian gained a little brother, Scout. He was a cattle dog / shepherd mix that looked just like a half-sized German shepherd. A lifelong puppy-sized short-haired shepherd that leapt up cliff faces like a mountain goat. He was a street rescue from Calexico. Injured in his first weeks of life, a dog charity imported him to the US. Whatever happened to him down there left a permanent impression on him, because he was extremely, inconsolably aggressive to only one kind of person: Hispanic males. He was a mixed mutt from the streets of Mexico; he was our Racist Street Taco. Barrett was a rescue from the pound; friends picked him up in Texas as he was about to be put down. He'd had a hard first year; he grew up in the shelter and overcame Parvo. My friends tried keeping him but he had a submissive peeing habit that they couldn't beat. They drove him 1000 miles to us in Chattanooga just to give him another shot. It's been six months and there's no more peeing. I like dog training. His purebred sisters are rescues, too. They were $1000 AKC puppies who were adopted by a single lady who works 10+ hours in an ER and lives in a condo. Apparently, she decided that might not be the best recipe for success with two 60lbs dogs after the puppies destroyed the condo a few times over and earned her some HOA violations. We agreed to take them in, and now they're right at home on acres upon acres of private ranch. We never go out to buy a dog. There are so many in need already, and somehow they seem to find us at just the right time. We love our dogs, and we're glad to have a place for them.

Here are a few pictures I didn't know I had on this computer. The one is of Kasey in the Jeep and ready to go for a ride. The other one is of Buttons. He was my wife's dog and I adopted him when my wife passed away. He was a Chinese Cryst and the only hair on him was on his head and I had him for about 10 years after Margie passed away and he passed away from heart failure at age 15. I had him cremated and buried his ashes with Margie.

Leroy chilling after some ball time. Leroy hanging with his girlfriend Daisy from next door. Leroy patiently waiting for his mama Leroy giving up on mama and preparing to nap.

Friends from day one, inseparable. Coal and Sadie.

Ready for Steel Challenge competition or fun plinking. Tippmann M4 with TEN magazines ($25 each), and C-More rail red dot. I used it once in steel challenge and then switched to rimfire pistol class. More to my liking. It's a nice running .22 AR. $1000 in the set-up, will take $700 for all of it. Still have factory box and comes with a nice canvas case. SOLD

I recently purchased the Forster Curved Linkage for their Co-Ax press and I'm so impressed, I just had to share. I had looked at the InLine Fab "Increased Access" links, but didn't see much benefit. As you can tell from the pictures, the Forster links really do make a difference. I picked them up from Mid South for $29, worth ever penny.

If you have a smoker, try a stuffed venison backstrap. Butterfly cut the venison, stuff with cream cheese and finely chopped onions, wrap it with bacon and put it in the smoker at 200 until it reaches 140. Pretty tasty...

Here is another few of Darby I didn't know I had on this computer. As you can see Darby and Kasey look like they should be sisters but they are not. You can tell the difference in weight is about the only way I can tell them apart in pictures.

Dodger and Stryker. Dodger was supposed to be a corgi mix, but it turns out he's almost German Shepard sized. Stryker is pure Corgi. He also sheds a lot, so we made him Trump

This is my boy Festus. He is a friend ,shop foreman and guard dog. Honestly don’t think he would hurt anyone. But his bark has scared many that didnt expect it.

Thank you all for sharing the pics of your pups! Just a quick post before I head in to work a bit. Good on you @A.J. Holst ! Awesome helper you’ve got. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Boo before and can confidently say she is a “Good Girl”, but I would not want to get on her bad-side. My pups, 2 sets of Pekingese (Bastian & Lil then Buckley & Grace) over a 25 year period are in Heaven guarding my Bride. But I know Rhonda has her hands full with them! Entitled little devils but they gave us a lot of love in their time. (My son just sent this pic to me after I told him about my vicarious living through it). Thanks again to all! The little guy is Poe. He’s resting on his sister Nala. Nala is a squirrel killer. Poe couldn’t be bothered with such.

Matilda and Venus. Our Great Dane and our step dog. Venus belongs to my step daughter Timmy, our 7-9 year old part Dane rescue with Matilda Timmy and Matilda competing for Mama's attention. Don't mess with Mama, they don't like that. Timmy is 140lbs of attitude, he knows what you tell him, he just decides if and when he will do it. Matilda is 3 years old, covid dog, she sleeps between us. Venus is a big round ball of chicken. the pic of her laying with Matilda is because she couldn't get out of the corner.

I looked and there are a few threads about a member's dog(s) here and there, but I was surprised that we don't have ONE big thread of all the doggos on TGO. So, let's fix that. ^^^ This is Tiberias, or Tigh for short. Yeah Tigh is spelled weird but I'm also a Battlestar Galactica nerd and fans of the show will recall that the XO of the Galactica was named Tigh. Anyway, he's a pure bred German Shepherd Dog and currently 4-months old. He was a rescue and we were fortunate to be called this past Monday and asked if we wanted to come get him. And yes, we most certainly did. Tigh is proving himself to be the goodest boy possible. Super loving, super loyal, and also already very protective of his new house and his new pack. We're thrilled to have him. So, so me your dogs!

North Clarksville is torn up. At least one dead. I watched this thing go past my house and thank God we didn't get hit. It looked like a wall of rain when I saw it. I'm off duty but I'm sure I'll get called in. There are a few whole neighborhoods that got their houses smashed. Cars flipped upside down . It's pretty bad. Prayers to all the victims .

like new in box and was purchased new by myself. The colt is a 3in barrel.

PULLED

Just watched it. Trying to find more post apocalyptic style movies that don't involve zombie hoards.

Praying for those involved

This could me

Just watched it. Well worth the time.

I retired in March of this year. For some reason I don’t get up so early anymore? Lol

I don't think it's just about a church shooting though. I'm on our church's safety team and recently a handgun was discovered in a diaper bag. My experience with firearms let me handle it carefully and make it safe until the parent could get a talking to. I get your feelings about carrying at church though 100%. I struggled with it. This is the house of the Lord right? The decision was made pretty easy for me though. I'm a wall flower and after about 7 years of attending my church, i knew about 3-4 people. One day i got introduced to one of the safety team folks. After talking for a few minutes, he asked if I would be interested in serving. After saying yes, suddenly i started being drawn into being a recognized face. I talk to more people, they talk to me. I've started attending mens groups, bible studies and i'm even an usher now. The handgun is just there. Lord willing, i'll never need it.

I agree. I don’t like crowds. Anywhere at any time. Sad to see this is what is needed these days. It is what it is now. I am starting to see signs more and more about no firearms being allowed in businesses. I refuse to give up a right under our constitution to attend, shop, dine, or anything! My Doctors office in Lenoir City has one of these signs up now. In the same small city that just a few weeks ago, an idiot walks into Walmart and pops off 8-10 rounds in the air with his rifle. Thankfully no one was injured or hurt. After having a serious talk with my Dr, it seems that her insurance company required it. Although I understand why she had to install this sign, it still means that I will have a different doctors office the next time I’m in need. Do NOT sacrifice your rights for anything. Church, Dr office, or grocery store. You may be the guy/gals who stops evil from attacking your community. Heads on a swivel guys.

First off let me say thanks to all of you that offered up a prayer for my daughter. She completed all her chemo a couple weeks ago and had her double mastectomy yesterday. She's home resting and her mother is there to watch over things for about a month. She is deemed "cancer free" in that all her lymph node biopsies came back negative and of course her lump is gone as well. She still has some localized radiation treatments after she heals from surgery but for now everything is lookin' good.

This is Cody, my baby. 105 pounds of rotten to the core. In the second picture he's helping me with my building project. Well, more like supervising. The most talkative feller I've ever had. Plus, he's a promising contender for the World Title of King of the Belly Rub. In my world there has never been a more loved and protected dog. I call him my son.

Looks like Lilly and Tanner might be related. He really, really, really hates squirrels.

Last weekend, doing it again today, 4p -6p at the Northshore Kroger. Swing by for free pets

My three boys.

This is Koira. We kinda inherited her from my youngest daughter who, during a rough spot, was unable to care for her. Now she's a part of the family for sure and thinks she's Queen. VERY loyal and loving dog, probably the most so I've ever seen. She's very attached (almost neurotically) to my wife, but likes me ok too. I think she's around 5 years old.

Here's my lot... Duchess and Winchester. We lost Ruger ,our Black male, in October and are still dealing with it. He was with us for 12 years and our pack is not the same. UPDATE Duchess went to join Ruger last Monday night. She lost her battle with bone cancer. Pain and sorrow are not what I wanted this year. She is at rest now....... I look forward to being with them when I get home to the Lord.

This ole boy has been gone several years now. My wife had a hard time with it. She’s still not ready to get another one. I’m not sure she ever will be. He was a once in a lifetime friend.

Our Husky turned 14 last week. She's a strange dog that typically disappears most of the day rather than hang out with us.

“No matter how little money and how few possessions you own, having a dog will make you rich.” Good on you. I say that to myself every time I swipe monthly at the vet. Worth every penny and then some.

This is Ellie. A bit neurotic at times but a good dog.

One cannot legally carry in any park in TN without permit. If an employee of a post secondary school in TN one must have the ECP to do so with other stipulations as well. It is against Federal law to be in a school zone or on school property without a permit. Plus the benefit of out of state carry as noted. Possible informal benefits when dealing with LEO, SD shooting, etc.
