  1. Couldn't agree more, especially with a family heirloom.
  2. I guess I'll put up with a lot of crap from Academy. Not that there has been any ammo on the shelf in the past year, but before ammo got scarce this time Academy was the only place around that kept ammo at a decent price. (Especially since Walmart decided to pick and choose what calibers they are going to carry) Honestly, if they want to have some asinine rule that says that I have to show ID to buy fishing bobbers, I'll probably just do it and go about my day, I have bigger things to worry about.
  3. Where do these fall value wise with a comparable blued model?
  4. I've lived in 3 houses that were on well. 2 of them were great, the third one had a very high sulphur content and required extensive filtration. That filtration system was finicky and always needed something and the water so wasn't very good. The neighbors well wasn't 200 yards from ours and had really good water straight out of the ground. When it works, it's great. I had good quality water and didn't have a monthly water bill.
  5. A business went under and people lost their jobs because of this bogus ban. And don't forget, it was Trump's doing.
  6. I'll just say this. I got an 870 12 gauge when I was 12 years old. It has been my go to shotgun up until I came across a nice Browning a few months ago. I've beat the crap out of it, run slugs, buckshot, and quite a few 3" turkey loads. The gun has been great. It does get difficult to cycle when it goes a few years between cleanings. I turn 39 this year. All of that said, I was gifted a Mossberg Shockwave and I believe I prefer the location of everything on the Mossbergs over the layout of the Remington. I would gladly own either, and do.
  7. I've been working from home for the past year, it's more like going to work in pajamas, waking up 10 minutes before I clock in, and sitting on the couch with a lap top. I'll quit if we go back to "normal".
  8. Sand is good, but you want to make sure that you are using construction sand and not all purpose or playground sand. The later just gets nasty and can't be cleaned.
  9. This. Those back country bears don't want anything more than to get as far away from you as possible. But those Cades Cove bears, and any bears that hang out around civilization are the ones that will destroy your car, your camp, and maybe you.
  10. I didn't see anything in the 2nd Amendment that stated "except for blind people".
  11. If you are able, having a pond with a pump in it to move the water around is one of the best improvements you can have with chickens. Never did freeze over this winter. I haven't hauled water since I moved here. The ducks like it too.
  12. I use an Apeman dashcam, they are available on Amazon for less than $40. I've never had an incident, but a good friend of mine is a local truck driver owner/operator. His dashcam has saved him multiple times when people have clipped him while cutting in front of him and another guy who hydroplaned into him. The guy is a s*** magnet because even though he drives a lot of miles, he finds himself in precarious situations on the regular. The camera doesn't lie, though and has made the other person's story invalid multiple times now. Also, he recently had an altercation with a transient at a truck stop while he was walking back to his truck. Had the situation been escalated he would have had a recording of the entire thing as it went down right in front of his truck as the camera was rolling. The guy is seriously a feces attractor, lol.
  13. I have a Heritage with the swappable cylinders. It's a good work gun that you don't have to worry about getting dinged up. I find that it lacks on accuracy next to my nicer .22s. I usually keep mine loaded with the WMRs. I believe that it was someone here that once said "a Heritage will last you the rest of your life, but you can hand the Ruger down to your kids."
  14. I could probably tell you about anything you want to know. I currently have barred rocks and some sex links. Both are good birds if you are wanting layers. You could also raise your own sex links if you get BR hens and a Rhode Island Red rooster, that would be a black sex link. Their offspring hens would have solid black heads, while the cockerels are born with white dots on their heads. Sex links do not breed true because they are hybrids, so if you are interested in sustaining your flock that isn't the way to do it. I'm not a fan of commercial hatcheries. I try to buy from local breeders. Anything bought commercially (TSC and others) was hatched and shipped and spent it's first couple of days in a box. I had rather my stock come from somewhere where the were hatched and placed into a brooder for those first couple of crucial days. I've been feeding Amish sourced feed supplemented with catfish food pellets (32% protein) with good results. I could write all day, if you have specific questions I'm happy to answer.
  15. To be clear. DO NOT place the TSA lock on the gun case. You need a regular padlock or combination lock. The TSA lock goes on the luggage that contains the gun case. The idea here is that a baggage handler can't open your suitcase and take your gun box out. Though I would be shocked of it's really hard to get one of those TSA special keys.
  16. I got this one off of Amazon, it was about $6. Honestly, the fishing wasn't anything to write home about, I did all of my fishing in the Everglades. Had a good time, caught some bass that wouldn't have impressed me here, and got to see to see a bunch of alligators. This was my first venture staying in Southeast Florida. Gotta say I don't much care for it. I've been to the Ft. Myers area a couple of times and like it much better.
  17. It went off without a hitch. The agent in Nashville asked me to show her the pistol so that she could verify that it was unloaded. I already had the slide locked back on it so I didn't have to handle it. She complimented me on the pistol (Kimber Micro) and told me to enjoy my trip. The agent that I dealt with on my return flight in Fort Lauderdale wasn't nearly as friendly, but didn't give me a hard time. He told me that it was not necessary to open the box, he just had me sign the form saying that it was unloaded. Other than that, I found it handy to keep my key on a caribener type keychain inside my backpack that I carried on.
  18. I have a hard time with slip on boots fitting my feet. Muck brand of them only brand that I've tried that's tolerable for me. I'm on my 3rd pair in 7 years. But my first pair is still functional. Last pair I bought was from Amazon, played around with the color choices and apparently brown isn't a popular color so I snagged them for $100.
  19. I rode my four wheeler down a portion of Central Pike today. It was a mess.
  20. Just ran to St. Thomas Hospital from Lebanon. Back roads were solid ice. Main roads were ok but not what I would call clear. Interstates were mostly clear. If you choose to get out, just slow it down and you should be fine.
  21. I live right off of Central Pike, just East of 840. Left the house around 5 and ran out to West End, then picked my wife up from Summit Medical Center. Got back home about 7:30, zero problems. Went out to the garage an hour later and almost fell on the driveway, solid sheet of ice.
  22. Germitage isn't the place to be pulling stunts like that, obviously.
  23. This is why I only sell on TGO. I wouldn't hesitate to invite anyone who I've met from TGO into my house.
  24. I've been wanting to start buying some silver on a regular basis. Ideally, I would like to pickup a few ounces per month on a regular basis. It doesn't appear that simple unless you are willing to pay double the spot price.
