  1. It was a smartass post where I was referring to post made in a different thread. Yes, it was on purpose. I quickly searched for the actual article to go along with the video, but didn't find it. Without question, this LEO should be fired.
  2. It's a tragedy...let it go.

    wow.

    Thanks! I walked 2 miles today. I walked 1 mile at about 8:00 this morning, and another at about 4:00 this afternoon. My neighbor and friend is nice enough to let me borrow her dog for the walks. He makes a great walking buddy.
  4. Never been a big fan of those type of show, but I can tell you that I don't care for Jay. He is as fake as they come. Even Carson didn't like Jay, and didn't feel he should have gotten the job. Carson was a much bigger fan of Dave's, and that means a lot, IMHO.
  5. You always have the greatest ideas. I'll be waiting. BTW, I call dibs on the Ruger & Wesson

    wow.

    Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I walked another 1 1/2 miles today.
  7. Looks like he's gettin' ready to lay a big smooch on his little fishy friend.
  8. That Brian, he's one bad a$$ fisherman. Congrats on slayin' the big'uns. I really need to get out to do some fishin', too.
  9. I hope it's OK to wet your pants while reading that review.
  10. Not that I've had many, but I've been fortunate enough to have had only one bad experience with an LEO, and that was only a bogus speeding ticket. I'll be the first to admit, I was steaming over it at the time, but in the grand scheme of things it was hardly a big deal. Having a few LEO's as close family members doesn't hurt either. Well, maybe it does a little, because I sometimes get some real insight to things that most people don't, or wouldn't want to hear about. On the other hand, I've heard many very scary stories about how someones life was turned upside down due to a bad experience with LEO's and/or our Justice System. I know that LEO's and the Justice System are not one-in-the-same, but more often than not (I think), they kinda go hand-in-hand. Unfortunatly, like David said, these stories tend to get the most press. Weather these types of stories get more press than real heart-warming LEO stories, the not- so-pleasant stories are stories nonetheless. Not only that, but they are very real stories. Very scary stories of how someones life was unnecessarily ruined because of an [insert your favorite adjective here] LEO. It should not be a big surprise that there are so many people who are suspicious of LEO's in general. Again, it's a shame, but very much a reality. Being a truck drive, I'm well aware of stereotypes connected to your profession. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that all truck drivers are uneducated, wife beatin, whore chasin', drug addicted alcoholics. There's actually an endless list, but you get the point. None of which are true where I'm concerned, and certainly not true of many other truck drivers I know. Unfortunately, it's just something we have to deal with, because there are so many that fit right into that stereotypical opinion of what many consider truck drivers to be. Not to take away from the risk LEO's encounter while on the job, but I have yet to see one legitimate study showing that being an LEO is more dangerous than being a truck driver. Every study/article I've read ranks truck driving as being more dangerous. I think that deserves a No Truck Driver Bashing policy on TGO.
  11. With such heart-warming stories like this, I can't fathom how anyone could be suspect of the integrity of any LEO until proven otherwise. It may be a shame that many people feel that way, but with the potential for so much being at stake during an encounter with an LEO, how can anyone blame them.

    wow.

    Thanks! Oh, it's gonna be a while. I'm 6'3 and about 475. I'm not sure I'll be up for running anytime in the near future. Rightwinger would definitely know if I began and such venture.
  13. TripleDigitRide

    wow.

    I walked another mile today.
  14. No, it's not sprayed on. It's dipped into a "bath". Pretty awesome to watch. The method is actually pretty durable. You'd be surprised to know which products are coated with the very same method. The one and only time I was able to visit a demonstration of the process, they were doing all the plastic parts for 4X4 ATV's and other off-road vehicles. I'd say it's pretty tough stuff.
  15. Congrats! A friend of mine purchased on from Hero-Gear, and he loves it. For a small .380, they do shoot very well, IMHO. I think it's the added weight over some of the other smaller .380's. Because of it's size and shape, it's a great pocket pistol.
  16. Welcome to TGO! Congrats! Enjoy your stay!
  17. Congrats! I'll second the suggestion to visit Shawn. I dealt with him during my AR build. Class act guy.
  18. They use Water Transfer Printing Dynamic Finishes - Water Transfer Printing

    Ouch! Earthquake?
  20. TripleDigitRide

    wow.

    For those keeping track, my fat a$$ just walked another mile.
  21. Milk snake - Milk Snake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Corn Snake - Corn Snake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I'm no expert, but it looks just like the Milk snake pictures there.
  22. Looks like a milk snake
  23. TripleDigitRide

    wow.

    Why? strickj going to be chasing you around the bedroom more often? Sorry! I couldn't resist. I was like waving a piece of chocolate cake in a fat kids face.
