They are cool, but I've decided to go with Sprint's Palm Pre. I have Unlimited Everything (Minutes, Text, Data, Etc) for far less than the iPhone. The only real advantages I can find with the iPhone are the video camera and tons of apps. I would like a video camera, but it's not a deal breaker. And it won't be long before there are tons of apps for the Pre. Plus, the Pre can do lots of things the iPhone can't. The videos are worth a look. Like I said, the iPhone is great, but not enough to justify the extra money for the type of plan I require.

Rant: Mcnairy County Sheriff's Office/Jail
TripleDigitRide replied to TripleDigitRide's topic in General Chat
I'm guessing it would hit the trash long before the Sheriff ever got close to his desk. This is a small town county jail where everyone is in on the BS together. I'm sure the word was spread the second I hung up the phone. If someone was said, it won't take me long to find out. Her mother will have a pretty good idea of who made the call, and she won't be able to resist giving me an ear full. -
Rant: Mcnairy County Sheriff's Office/Jail
TripleDigitRide replied to TripleDigitRide's topic in General Chat
I was thinking along those same lines, but I felt as if I had to do something. I was holding out hope that someone would actualy give a damn, but that was shot down in a hurry. Some have suggested going above the heads of the County Sheriff. The Assistant District Attorney General, TBI, Department of Corrections were mentoned in the bunch. But do I really want to be "that guy"? I'll have to sleep on it, but I don't seem to be getting any happier as time passes. Not only does this frustrate me because my daughter got put in such a situation, but it's equally as frustrating that our system allows criminals to get away with this kind of stuff while in custody. I thought these people were supposed to be being punished, not sent off to a summer camp. Having free beer delivered while in jail? For some reason this whole thing makes me sick. -

My best friend hates her husband at least every other day because of this game.

It's really no wonder we regularly hear stories about habitual criminals around here. The system can all too often be a complete joke. After allowing my daughter to visit with her mother - for the very last time if I have anything to do with it - I'm beyond pissed at what she has told me, and even more pissed at the lack of interest the Mcnairy County Sheriff's Office/Jail took during a telephone conversation this morning. I'm not usually the narcing type, but because the Mother (used lightly) of my Daughter felt it acceptable and necessary to drag my daughter into some of her illegal activity, I felt as if I really had no choice. Her Mother has a boyfriend who's incarcerated at the Mcnairy County Jail, and he has somehow managed to become a Trustee. From what I gather, he is allowed to "work" at a Public Park and a Recreation Center in the area. I have yet to figure out weather it's someone with the Parks Department or someone with the Sheriff's Office who's supposed to be keeping an eye on him while he's at either of these locations. Either way, they're not doing a very good job. Whoever is in charge of him during these hours has knowingly allowed him to visit with family and/or friends on a very regular basis. He has even been allowed to be at either of these locations while whoever was in charge of keeping an eye on him decided it would be acceptable to leave an inmate unattended for extended periods of time. And when I say unattended, I mean the person in charge was miles away. During at least some of these visits, my daughter's mother would bring him items such as fast food, cigarettes, beer, etc to these locations. I'm far from an expert on the matter, but surely this can't be legal. As if this isn't bad enough, the *beep* had the damn nerve to allow my daughter to witness this crap. Anyway, I started the morning off with a call to the Mcnairy County Sheriff's Office/Jail, where I was greeted by a Grade-A douchebag. After asking to speak with the Sheriff, I was told that he didn't believe the Sheriff was in. He then asked what the call was pertaining to, which I politely summed up in one short sentence as not to tell the entire story over and over again. He then informed me that I would first need to speak with the Head Jailer - at least that's what I think he called him/her. Because I really wanted to go straight to the Sheriff, I was somewhat reluctant to speak with this Head Jailer, but feeling this would be better than nothing, I agreed and asked how I could reach this person. Things went South very quickly from here. Before giving up any additional information, the telephone answerer wanted to know my personal information - mainly my name - which I wasn't really wasn't interested in divulging at this time. I didn't feel as if it was pertinent to my call. Afterall, people can report all kinds of criminal activity to Crime Stoppers without divulging your identity. Even though I didn't make the call to Crime Stoppers, I was treating the conversation as if I had. I honestly didn't see anything wrong with that. After telling this person that I'd rather not give my personal information at this time, he quickly told me that there was nothing he would do for me. Even though I was nothing but polite during our conversation, I instantly felt myself getting more than a little frustrated, so I quickly and politely said OK and Thank You before hanging up. I could not, and still can't believe they would rather allow these type of activities to go unpunished simply because I didn't want to give my personal information. After doing a little searching on the Internet, this type of thing is nothing new to the Mcnairy County Sheriff's Office/Jail. A former jailer pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for sexual penetration of an inmate and three felony counts of introducing contraband into a penal system. The McNairy County Sheriff and a jail administrator were also accused of intentionally freeing early the inmate with whom the jailer had had sexual relations so she could get an abortion. There are others, but you get the point. /Rant Over!

Congrats! They are definitely a life changer, but as a proud father of a beautiful daughter, they are worth it.

Discussion on posted restaurants
TripleDigitRide replied to Fallguy's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
That sucks. I actually enjoy the hotwings at hooters. Did anyone carry during the dinner? Were they asked to leave? -
In all fairness, the kid said that he didn't realize that gasoline was "explosive", not flammable. It's pretty evident that he knew the gasoline was going to be flammable, but maybe he didn't realize the fumes could/would cause an explosion. Either way, it was a very stupid move, Especially on the part of his Father.

Whatchu talkin bout, Willis? -
That one looks great. The mounts my Uncle has are not quite that white. There's no doubt they are white, but looks like the peroxide method is a great idea.

I've never done it, but my Uncle has several that he got when my Grandfather passed away. My Uncle says they are every bit of 35 years old, and they still look great. He says my Grandfather let them dry for 3 or 4 weeks before spraying/brushing a clear lacquer over the entire thing. They have a nice matte finish, but there are several sheen levels to choose from.

Congrats! If you want to improve -- PRACTICE. You're off to a great start. If you were shooting a BG, he would be history.

I think something is wrong with my Ruger
TripleDigitRide replied to a topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Exactly what kind of ammo were you using? -
I'm happy to hear they are not posted, but +1. Still won't be visiting them.

It's too bad that you're being forced to leave Tennessee. We hope you can return very soon. Best wishes on your venture.

How many of you carry while you ride a Motorcycle?
TripleDigitRide replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
My motorcycle still isn't ready, but even if you're not comfortable using your regular holster, there are several options. -
Sorry, not a new gun. Both my girlfriend and daughter have been "hounding" me for quite some time about getting a dog. His name is Grizwald. He's a 7-week-old Basst Hound, and just as I expected, he became my second full-time job. It's alright, because he's also become a real chick magnet around the neighborhood. Anyway, here are a few crappy pictures. My daughter is out of town on vacation, and couldn't wait another second for me to email her some better pictures.

Richard Christy and Sal 'The Stockbroker' Governale put together some of the best prank calls out there. Gotta love the Stern Show.
