Sand works better than the flame-thrower.

Those memories will mean more than anything! Praying for you

Very sorry about your loss

The Brend #2 is still my favorite Protech. willis68 has hooked me up with a couple of lefty TL3's, and I have a couple of others, but the Brend is just a better option for EDC in my normal attire.

They used to check for farm diesel at livestock auctions, co-ops, etc.

Sounds like they must have a shared leg(s) somewhere, but too many unknowns to give advise.

We had a place that sold Turbo Blue at one of their pumps, if memory serves it was advertised as 108 octane. I tried it once, it shot a purple flame about 18" out the tailpipe of my 400 big block. Had a lot of fun that night!

It is probably a loose connection, but I would call an electrician if you don't know for sure what you are doing.

Very cool!

DEER SEASON..!! (warning...ramblings from a bored old man)
quietguy replied to Randall53's topic in Hunting and Fishing
I started tinkering with my bow a couple of weeks ago, and ran a couple of rounds down my muzzleloader. Can't wait! The Wolf packages are a great deal. Probably the closest thing to the old Knight Wolverine kits I have seen. -

Bureaucracy, the fourth branch! -

That seems to fall outside of the scope. -
Anyone here been to National Museum of the US Air Force, Dayton, OH?
quietguy replied to vontar's topic in General Chat
It has been a few years since I have been there, but I don't remember having to go through a typical base checkpoint. Best I remember, there was a specific road that you entered, and the museum parking was before the checkpoint. I would call and ask, just to be safe. I have been several times over the years, and it is worth the stop. I would probably plan on a half day to go through it. -

Intent is the problem with EO's. At least with legislative actions, you have committee hearings and floor debate to determine intent. You don't get that with EO's. All the courts have to go on is the language of the order and the agencies regulation. -

Machining is the operative term used. I have replaced dozens of handgun sights, and nearly all require some filing for a proper installation. That is machining. 1g might cover that, but it isn't clear. I would agree if you are doing a drop in trigger insert, but a "fluff and buff" of existing parts could be considered machining. -

quietguy replied to Hershmeister's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I disagree. The way the language is constructed is way too broad. Lapping an upper would be an violation of both the language to increase accuracy and machining. Installing most replacement sights would violate the language, and forget about a trigger job. -
Sorry to hear that. My wife and I are dealing with something similar, and this place is a great distraction.

Gun safe anchoring - what anchors to use?
quietguy replied to batninja24601's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Personally, I prefer these - http://www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson-Strong-Tie-1-2-in-x-2-in-Drop-In-Anchor-50-per-Pack-DIA50/205299212 If properly installed, they sit slightly below the floor so there is nothing to trip over or step on. I usually use a little masonry epoxy when I install them, but it isn't necessary. This gives you a little more flexibility. If you wanted to add risers, like mentioned above, you just use a longer bolt. -
I don't think so. Boats are treated completely differently in TN law. The aren't titled as personal property, but do have to be registered.

I would start with a good clean and lube. It sounds like fouling to me. About the only other thing that could cause those symptoms would be a weak slide spring, but I would think that progressively getting worse would be unlikely.

Thanks to all those that recommended the LA Police Gear GPS. I picked one up a couple of weeks ago, and I really like it for pistol range sessions.

I have been to Falling Water, and the one outside of Huntsville. Falling Water is amazing.

I don't like big cities, but I don't mind going to Chicago. I am usually up there a few times a year for work, and always have a good time. I alway stay in the Loop, or just outside. I am a bit of an architecture nut, and no place I have been compares. I haven't spent any time outside of the downtown, Loop, Navy Pier, Michigan Ave areas. For me, it is an easy trip. Direct 45 minute flight from Nashville to Midway, hop on the train downtown, and you can walk almost anywhere you want to go. I keep saying that I want to do the Frank Lloyd Wright Oak Park tour, but haven't done it yet. However, the Art Institute has a great collection of his glass and furniture works.

I was thinking the same thing. My office is just a couple of blocks away, I might have to walk down and try to herd them that way.

I can't comment specifically on their metal working machinery, but the Grizzly woodworking tools are pretty good for the price. I researched a lathe a few years ago, and the Grizzly was high on my list. There is a Jet-920-N on Craigslist for $800.
