  1. Another soft target. Virtually every hospital that I'm aware of in the Nashville area is a "gun free zone".
  2. I'm curious what you mean when you say that they are registered?
  3. Upon further thought, if I didn't have a saw and was working with a $400 budget, I would buy the following. Ryobi 10" dual bevel miter saw $250 Skil 7 1/4" circular saw $60 Bauer oscillating multi tool $60 Bauer is sold by Harbor Freight. HF has really upped their game on power tools in the past few years. Have several different lines, the Chicago Electric stuff is pretty cheaply made, but the Bauer lines on up are on par with any other homeowner grade equipment. I own a free Bauer products and have been happy with them. The occillating tool can be used as a saw with several different attachments available for cutting an array of materials. There are also sanding attachments. This is probably one of my favorite tools I've purchased in the past 5 years. That leaves you $30 for tax, but puts you in the ballpark.
  4. It was about this time last year I was out running around, stopped by the Caney and couldn't have caught a cold, ran up to Defeated and fished that area right where you turn in off of 85. Caught about 50 chunky bluegill, had so much fun I went back the next morning and caught 50 more. They were on the bed and were absolutely hammering the 1/64oz jigs that I was throwing. I had every intention of going back this year, but I have too much going on at the moment.
  5. I bought this one a couple of years back and have no complaints. Ryobi gets a lot of hate, but I have lots of Ryobi tools that get used at a rate I would describe as "heavy homeowner use" some, such as my cordless impact get used 2-3 days per week most weeks. I have several tools from their 18V line that I have been using for more than 10 years. RYOBI 15 Amp 10 in. Sliding Compound Miter Saw with LED https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-15-Amp-10-in-Sliding-Compound-Miter-Saw-with-LED-TSS103/306939218 SKU# 306939218
  6. A good old 94 or 336 of hard to beat. Some things just don't need improvement.
  7. I like to point this out when people talk about how much better The economy was when gas was 43 cents a gallon. Yeah, gas was 43 cents, per gallon, minimum wage was $1.50 an hour, and the car got 9 miles to the gallon. I know where we're at right now economically sucks, but you look at it in the grand scheme of things and how much we have paid for things in the past, and we're not that far off the charts. We were just really comfortable for a long time. This post does not insinuate in any way that any politician currently in power is or isn't doing even a mediocre job. Just an observation.
  8. Airstream makes the finest trailers out there. Not uncommon at all to see 50+ year old Airstreams still being used. I have a 20 years old Coachman that is on the opposite end of the spectrum and being held together with duct tape and bubble gum. I admire the Airstreams from afar, way out of my budget.
  9. Highly discourage relocation, you have to take racoons a long way for them not to beat you back home, much less get them far enough to not come back at all. And, once you get one in a trap once, you will never get it in a trap again.
  10. No experience with the Ruger. I've owned a Heritage for 10+ years, it's never impressed me. The accuracy on mine has never been anything to get excited about. If it were me I'd save up a little more, buy a Single Six and never think about wanting something nicer again.
  11. Video is set to private.
  12. I think it's personal preference. I have an iPhone for work and and Android (Google Pixel 6 Pro) for my personal phone. I can't stand the iPhone interface. I've had the iPhone for 6 years and use it for work related phone calls and email. I use my personal phone for everything else, even work related Internet. I've found that most people are exactly the opposite. More than likely you would like some variation of an iPhone since that is what you are used to.
  13. I think it's more about the case than the phone as all of the phones are pretty fragile on their own. I've had good luck with cases from Body Glove, Spigen, and Otter Box. Had a body glove on my last phone the entire time that I had it and it did well. On my second Spigen, my last one lasted 3 years, phone finally had a software issue. I've had an OtterBox on my work phone for about 4 years now. All of these cases have met or exceeded my expectations and I'm fairly rough on things.
  14. I've never seen a knife that jams before I kid, I kid. I'm a big 1911 fan. This is one very nicely done piece.
  15. It appears that although her accuracy was somewhat lacking, it was effective.
  16. TLDR... Captured in Evansville, Indiana. She shot herself, but failed to kill herself during her capture. https://www.al.com/
  17. Beautiful shotgun. I have a 1964 A5 that belonged to my wife's grandfather. It is heavily used but still a great shooter, no where near as pretty as yours though. Wish I could justify this one. GLWS!
  18. My previous post was somewhat tongue in cheek. I have a neighbor (curmudgeon) who prefaces everything he says with something to the effect of "Those idiots from your generation..." (Mind you some of my peers that I grew up with have grown children, so it's not like I became an adult last week). I just looked at him one day and said "why did your generation raise so many worthless kids?" that was almost a year ago. He hasn't spoken to me since. I'm good with that. Truth is, I know people who are retirement age that never contributed anything noteworthy to society, and I know people who are not yet 30 who have built successful businesses, provided jobs for others, and contribute very substantial amounts of money to worthy causes. I kind of wish this mentality that people have more or less worth because of what decade they were born in would just go away.
  19. This generation thinks milk comes from the store.
  20. You know I'm a Toyota guy. Looked at several 200k+ Tundras before my last purchase and drove several that I would have never thought had that kind of mileage. One of the downsides to a Toyota is that they are so durable that you will likely get tired of driving it before you wear it out. We currently own two and I have owned others in the past. The maintenance costs on all of them have been exceptionally low.
  21. Find any reason you can not to. I'm native to middle Tennessee, lived in east Tennessee for several years and moved back kind of on a whim 7 years ago. I'd give about anything to move back to the pretty end of the state and at least somewhat escape these outrageous housing prices, congested traffic everywhere all the time, overdevelopment, and in your face progressiveness at every corner. I'm too tied in now to escape, at least for several more years.
  22. There is more to life than 80 hour weeks. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. And at some points in my life I had nothing better to do than work long weeks and save money. I have zero desire to put in more than 50 hours a week again, ever. All that said, here's what I can't figure out. Everyone is drastically understaffed right now as evidence by higher pay for non skilled labor than had ever been seen. Yet I know of no one who is not working now who was working 2-3 years ago, and haven't spoken with anyone who does. Where did everyone go!
  23. Here's an annual article. I trust snopes about as much as I trust Casey Anthony to watch kids. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-2006-10-01-deputy01-story.html
  24. https://youtu.be/yyJ_HXJLSzw
  25. Will be in Shelbyville via Murfreesboro on 4/11 if that entices anyone. Will also be in Murfreesboro the 12-14th.
