10-Ring

I think it's always best to provide as much information as possible when selling any item.  If there are some things that are speculative just say so. 

I traveled I40 from Mt. Juliet to 440 both directions this morning 40 isn't bad but everything else is.

Went and picked up a friend for her shift at St. Thomas dropped her off around 6 last night and I'm waiting to pick her up now. Last night the surface streets were not that bad but 40 and 440 were bad. Looks like they spent a lot of time clearing the inter and intrastates last night but all of the surface streets are frozen sold and nasty. Be careful if you get out, there are a ton of people driving around this morning that don't have a clue but that's no different from any other day. Come to think about it I can get to where I need to in Nashville quicker in this mess than normally.

Didn't check the milk and break aisles, I got plenty of chicken, beer, hot sauce, and ramen and got out of there.  Milk and bread?  What are these people preschoolers?

I'm lucky to get a year out of two pairs on rotation but I also wear them in the summer too. 

I didn't realize that Wrangler was no longer made in America.  They have their faults but I'm a Wrangler guy.  The appeal to me is that I am rough on jeans.  Wranglers don't hold up the best but by the time they are worn out they are trashed and stained anyway. Plus at $20 a pair I really don't worry too much about getting them dirty even when they are new.  So I went and looked at a few pairs to see where they were made, of current pairs that are in my rotation I found that they were made in Mexico, Kenya, and Nicaragua.  All of my favorite ones are made in Nicaragua, don't know if there is anything to that or not.   I tend to like the thinner material as it softens up and gets comfortable quicker.  Personally I tend to own two types of clothes, work clothes and dress clothes with not a whole lot in between.  I have a hard time spending $80 on a pair of jeans when my new jeans are my good pants and my older ones are my designated work pants. 

What really bothers me whenever we get weather like this is the amount of people that rush to the grocery store.  What that tells me is that all of these people do no keep a couple of days worth of food on hand.  These are the people that will kill you for your food if we have a SHTF situation. 

That's it, I'm going to Dustbuster's house!

  I got on 40 West one morning at OHB (Hermitage) and traffic was about at a stand still, we never did get over 30 MPH.  about a 1/4 mile from Donelson Pike there was a car on the left shoulder with a flat, that's it.  It was pulled off the road and everything but 4 lanes of traffic went to a crawl for miles because of it.  As soon as I got passed it traffic was moving at the regular proper speed.  No way would I travel into Nashville on a daily basis. 

Then you sir are not allowed to sell them on Facebook.  All of the Glocks there have three or fewer mags run through them. 

I guess it is more expensive for me because I try really hard to only eat organic meat.  Mostly deer but when I have to buy it it is roughly twice as much as regular meat.

Greenbrier Restaurant.  One of the only reasons to go to Gatlinburg.  Actually if you just want a good Gatlinburg experience nothing fits that place quite like a Taco Bell. http://www.greenbrierrestaurant.com/ 

It's amazing how much better "eating clean" (all natural foods) will make you feel.  Plus now you don't have to worry about those idiots at he Burger King anymore!  Personally I try to eat clean, eat as much as I want and lead an active lifestyle.  It works for me, if I were eating junk in the quantities that I eat clean food I'd be fat as mud and feel like crap.  It costs more but I consider it an investment in my health, less time I'll have to spend in a doctors office, and less down time due to health issues.  BTW deer meat is a huge part of my diet.

  I did a stint in asset protection at Wally World.  I left almost 5 years ago (good choice.)  Back then we were running ~150 cameras per store and could retain all of that video for about 6 months.  Whenever you walk into or out of a Walmart entrance there is a camera about 4 feet high on the edge of each door frame, that gives a really good face shot.  There is also a camera that records every singe item scanned at every register and they have the ability to see that each item was paid for, how it was paid for, and a picture of who paid for it.  I highly doubt that any of this is used maliciously, we just used it to gather evidence in theft and fraud cases.

The Amish are not going to let an outsider just go live in their community.  It's still not the same though.  They have the infrastructure to make it without electricity we do not. We are dependent on it.  If there is an EMP we are immobile, they hitch up the buggy to the horse and go, just like they did yesterday.  We have no lights in our house, they light a lamp, because that is what they have always done.  If you want to see how much we are dependant go flip the main breaker on your house and take the battery out of your car for 3 days.  Without major preparation it will not be easy.  Most people in today's society are going to freak out when the TV doesn't come on and their modem doesn't work, let alone when they have no AC, their refrigerator doesn't work, and they have no hot water.  With an EMP thrown in the possibility that our cars won't work and we are really screwed seeing as so much of America lives so far from areas where we get things.   There is a whole plethora of problems to face that most of us haven't even given thought to, I too will recommend One Second After it will make you think about these things.

44 is a damn good brush gun. I'm finding that my old eyes don't do irons well anymore, if it were me if put a scope on it but no need to go with a huge scope.

I like to comment on the over priced items "What's the non felon price on that?"  That usually gets them going.

Gladeville, everything you get in Mt.Juliet you just have an extra 10 minutes to drive, but you are 10 minutes closer to the gun range.  Providence has about anything you need retail wise.  I see the advantage to Gladeville as being more rural which is a big factor for me, I'd guess housing out there would be a little bit more economical.  Housing is very high in Providence, they think they are Brentwood Jr. over there. 

I have an Express that was manufactured around 1994.  It seems to be of much better quality than the newer models.

I have a tshirt with and AR-15 on it that says "come and take it."  I've gotten lots of compliments on it but never caught any flack.  Guess maybe it clicked off in their idiot heads that it might not be a good idea to harass someone wearing such a shirt.

You know it's sitting on 22"'s, but one don't match.

As if Walmart had any care in the world if they were selling something that could harm people.  Walmart has one concern and one concern only and that is making money, be it at the cost of slavery or child labor they don't care, and they certainly will tell anyone trying to regulate their sell of firearms that accept high capacity magazines to go pound sand.

You have to watch the barter people for sure. I had a motorcycle on Craigslist a few years back, which I had listed for $1700. Guy offers me a cheapo AR-15, I tell him I can't do that. Then he tells me that he has a 7 shot revolver he will trade me as well. I'm thinking "sweet, if this is a 686+1 we may have a deal." So I ask him what it is and it's a Nagant revolver. Back Then I think the lower end ARs were going for about a grand and the Nagants were $75 back then. Guy was trying to pull a quick one, he just had no idea he was dealing with someone who knew what guns were going for. The best barter offer I ever got was when I had a dog kennel for sale and someone offered me some quail for it.

I've had good luck in the past hunting areas where a field was cut but there were scattered clumps of trees and strips at the edges of the field that were not cut.  Works best to hunt with one or two others and take turns kicking through the brush while the other hunters stand ready to shoot anything that pops out.  Just make sure that you are hunting with people that you trust, some people get a little excited and fail to pay attention to what they are doing and where they are shooting when that rabbit makes a run for it.

I haven't tried the Iheartradio app but I don't mind paying $10 a month to listen to what I want without adds and do it offline.
