I bet he wished he had not done that after he got a taste of fuel.

I vote every election and cannot remember when have I missed one. This is a timely thread for me since I have moved. There are so many details to take care of that voter registration is one thing I have not even thought about.

The computer does loose programming without a battery. It may start if you give it a little throttle but will quit as soon as you lift your foot. If you get it running (don't do this in city traffic) use the gas and brake when you stop and drive it for 20 or 30 miles and it will get its programming back. I left the key on on my 03 Dodge and it sat for a few days. It did the same thing. As soon as I touched the throttle just a little it started. Let up and it quit. Doing this can be a little hairy unless you are out in the country but it worked for me.

I loved your comments on the parts used. Nice rifle also.

I could not have said it any better than that.

I had a PT145 Mil Pro and same as you, it felt great in my hand. It shot everything I put through it except Blazer brass.There was nothing wrong with it but I was never crazy about the trigger so I ended up selling it. Some you just like better than others and I had several compacts and sub compacts so I let it go. It seems to be one of the more complicated hand guns to take down but after doing it a few time it is not a big deal. I was also not crazy about the weight of a loaded .45. The guy who bought it is very happy with it so I can't say anything was wrong with the gun.

Jackson has had these cameras for some time. It is just a revenue generator. $50 bucks a pop. No points. They have also just gotten a mobile speed cameras. They are in SUV's and they move around and stop anywhere. I heard they got somewhere around 250 speeders in a hour and a half in one location. If you listen to the talk radio station in town you will find out where they are. Ever y time they stop somewhere someone will call it in. They are called "robo cop" around Jackson. If you don't know where they are you better be careful.

(Tennessee) State Supremes say anonymous tips sufficient to detain drivers
-boatman- replied to TMMT's topic in General Chat
Yes I do. I can see someone calling in on someone else they are mad at or just don't like, even when they may not be drinking. I am all for getting the drunks off the road but this will have some negative things happening and I wonder how that will be handled. -
Second or None official event swag... GET SOME!
-boatman- replied to TGO David's topic in Events and Gatherings
I'll take a large. -
I never really thought about this but first the caliber. Then the overall size and how I would carry it but of course I would first have to like something about it or it would have never gotten my attention in the first place. Then the weight would come in. I sold a .45 partly because I did not consider the weight of the gun loaded.

That is good to hear, especially in this economy.

I have their M4 red dot and light. I had a problem with the light and he sent me a another one in a hurry along with a free pmag. Told me to send the other one back. I had the new one before I sent the bad one off. New light is fine and very bright and I'm very happy with the red dot. Fast shipping and great customer service. I would buy from them again.

Sad but true story -- LEO and HCP holder
-boatman- replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
In what city did this happen? -
it counts if you logged it.

Garmin gps60cs in hand, Garmin gps18 plugged into the laptop on the road, cachemate software on a pda, and GSAK software on the laptop to manage waypoints and cache info on the other three things. Other useful things are a flashlight, multitool, camera, inkpen, hiking stick, and a firearm. The closest I ever came to pulling a gun on someone was while geocaching late at night in the woods next to a rest area on I40 but that is another story.

I've been there and know how you feel. I still miss my golden retriever who was the best friend I ever had after almost two years. I can't say anything to make you feel better but it does get better with time even though right now I know you don't think so. It may always be sad when you think of him but someday thinking back you will be glad you had him for all those years and all the great memories from that time.

New AG Opinion on Carry in Parks???
-boatman- replied to TnEngineer's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
This really worries me. I go into a lot of parks away from home while geocaching. If a park is not posted I assume they have not opted out unless I have read about it and REMEMBERED it. But that is hard to do also unless it is one of the bigger towns that has had a lot of media attention. How someone can be arrested and convicted when the law says it must be posted is beyond me. I would like to see what the sponsors of the bill would have to say about this. -
Need AR-15 trouble shooting help...
-boatman- replied to THE COOP's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
It did not unscrew. The brush came apart where it was put together. The twisted part of the brush where it inserted into the part that screws onto the rod. I guess I did not make it clear as to what happened. -
Need AR-15 trouble shooting help...
-boatman- replied to THE COOP's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
When I tried twisting my chamber brush like this it came apart. Do the brushes hold up doing this or did I just get a bad brush? It came apart where the twisted part inserted into the threaded piece. Since them I have been pushing the brush in and out. THis is not the first time I have heard they should be turned. -
If you live in the area and have good agent for homeowners insurance, let's hear it. Not being from the area or knowing any agencies reputations I thought I would get recommendations from TGO. I will be between those two towns but will be closer to Shelbyville. Oh yeah, list what company they represent. Thanks

I'm not the smartest guy in the world but this is why I can't see this going anywhere.

What Do You Do If You Find a Bear In Your Car??
-boatman- replied to waynesan's topic in General Chat
You would think someone would have tried to scare it away just to keep someones car from being torn up but it seems like they all enjoyed the show. If I came back to my car and saw that going on I would be some kind of mad. Would it be legal to shoot a bear to protect property?
