    GTA V

    The last one I played was San Andreas.  I don't even have a game console anymore since my PS2 died.  I did enjoy San Andreas.  I remember it had a counter that kept up with how many hours you had played the game, man I wasted literally weeks worth of hours on that thing.  Always liked the side games on GTA and the fact that you can always just run around killing hookers and beating up people if you feel like it.  Regretfully I don't see myself getting a but chance to play this one but that's probably for the best since I really don't have the time anyway.
  2. Geico has been long rumored to be an anti gun company.  A quick Bing search (I don't use the anti gun Google) did not produce any conclusive evidence to this, but I did find this blub which I would deem accurate.   http://www.armedlutheran.us/anti-gunners/anti-gun-companies/
  3. I grew up in middle Tennessee and landed in East Tennessee.  I really like it out here.  If you are into city kind of things and like to go out to events, clubs, that kind of thing Nashville is good.  If you are into outdoor things East Tennessee offers more than you can shake a stick at.  You mentioned a motorcycle license, if you are into motorcycles East Tennessee is smack in the middle of world class roads, middle Tennessee sucks for motorcycles, actually a big part of what got me here.  The hunting opportunities seem to be better in the middle and west parts of the state but fishing is better in the East.
  4. I call your $190 MAK-90 and raise you a $98.50 R.B. Mark I anti tank rifle.
  5. I would give it my all to send my kid to a school like that.
  6. I've stuck with the same interests for the most part since I was a kid.  They keep me so busy I really try not to start new ones.  I've always liked hunting, fishing, shooting, camping, motorcycles, and women.  I started obtaining gear for all of these interests when I was a small child and over my lifetime I have become pretty well supplied.  The thought of the expense of any of these interests alone is quite substantial it's scary to think about how much money I have to spend to get into a new hobby.  About 4 years ago something prodded me to take up photography, I took it on with a vengeance and now do it professionally.  I have put thousands of dollars into camera equipment these last few years, but I really don't mind since this equipment makes my living and I'm doing something I really enjoy.
  7. Go to driving school so that you don't get points on your record.  These points will affect your insurance rates for the next 3-5 years at a minimum.
  8. I'm partial to .270 and inexperienced with .308.  I could buy .270 even at the midst of the ammo shortage, .308 couldn't be found.  In my experience .270 is about a perfect round for TN whitetails.  I've killed dozens of deer with a .270, I've lost 2 in that time, never had one run more than 30-40 yards and more than half dropped in their tracks.  While being an effective round it isn't bad to tear up too much meat, of course I always aim right behind the shoulder where the only meat getting hit is rib meat anyway.
  9. I got a Tracfone in March.  It's so dumb it doesn't even have a camera on it.  Depending on what your needs are it could work out great for you.  It worked for me because I get a free land line with my cable so that is what I use when I need to talk on the phone.  No cell phone gets reception where I work and Tracfone stops getting reception just a couple of miles from my house, therefore there is not a whole lot of time that I can use a cell phone anyway.  Before I fired Verizon and my smart phone I had 4 straight months of using less than 20 minutes per month.  The phone cost me $10 and included a house and car charger, a case and a headset.  60 minutes of airtime is $20 and they double your minutes when you activate it so I actually get 120 minutes for $20, which will last me in excess of 3 months.  It's not for everybody but if you just want a simple phone for emergencies and whatnot and you don't care about texting (I can if I have to it's just hard on this phone), data and whatnot it may be great for you.  POI: I budget $80 a year for my cell phone usage and if I loose or break my phone I'm out $10.  
  10. The Daily Times is notorious for publishing their garbage before checking any facts.  I've seen them publish stories as fact that I knew for a fact to be erroneous on several occasions. 
  11. Hmm, how about a "Men of TGO" banana hammock calender.  I'm sure that would be a big seller.
  12. I normally despise hunting public land.  Yet most public land still has lots of squirrels.
  13. I can't tell you about converting yours but I just bought a new laptop with USB 3.0.  I transfer 50-75 gigs of data from my laptop to an external hard drive on a daily basis.  I absolutely love the USB 3.0.  I'm easily getting transfer rates twice as fast as 2.0 and sometimes as much as 4 times that of 2.0.
  14. Friend of mine got one about a year ago and really liked it, I rarely carry IWB so I'm not very interested but that is my wife's preferred method of carry, been meaning to pick one up for her to replace that POS Uncle Mike's she is using and has had since before I met her.  I'm kind of ashamed that she is still using that piece of junk.
  15. That's a knife I would be proud to carry and use.

    Habitual DUI's

    Something is wrong with the system for sure.  I know a guy who is in his mid 20's that has been arrested for DUI at least 7 times, yet he has only been convicted once.  Seems that the system is broken.
  17. Guy looks like he could be Barrack Obama's son.
  18. I don't think so but I've had the perspective of riding with and seeing both of these guys ride.  I've seen the guy on the sportbike run the Dragon on a Harley, which was quite amusing.  His Harley pace was still quite a bit faster than Yellow Wolf's pace.  There is also a pretty big age gap between the two.    If you need some amusing internet babble to fill your day search the Goldwing forums for threads involving Yellow Wolf and a guy that goes by the name DJFire.  The two are constantly in a pissing contest over who is better, it's sad really.
  19.   Rick isn't coming anywhere close to walking away from this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rGbln3J4Sg
  20. I listen to conservative radio all day everyday and I listen to a lot of AM late at night.  Always wondered why there is a plethora of conservative radio shows but I never heard liberal radio.
  21. Go with the Goldwing,  More ground clearance than a cruiser, better suspension, better all around performance, all while being more comfortable. 
  22. I have a couple.  I won't say that I always wear them, but I'll wear them on most days.  My favorite has a picture of an AR-15 on the front and back and the words "Come and take it" I've had several folks stop me to tell me they liked it, the response I've gotten has been 100% positive.  I don't worry about carrying while wearing gun shirts.  I will acknowledge that you may be giving up a small tactical advantage by wearing gun related clothing but it's one of the many risks that I take everyday.  To each his own.
  23.   Good point, sounds like both were doing a good job.  I had rather see an officer on patrol where bad things have been happening than writing tickets if I have to choose one or the other.  That proactive approach won't yield tickets or likely even contact and you can't prove a negative (police were in the neighborhood so there was no crime) but you know that if the thieves and vandals were out that night their night did not go as planned.
  24.   Tennessee has no "state police" department, so I would guess that is not true.  We do have the TBI but I would certainly hope that a state wide agency that focuses on felonious crime would be hauling in more than two felons a month.
