  1. OH! I thought you were talking about a "match" type shoot. Yea, I'd go to the one you're talking about.
  2. I thought about checking out one of the meets, but being as I've never even attended one, I probably wouldn;t shoot the first time. I'd like to see how everything works.
  3. I got one of the first 5000 delivered. I'm not sure what number exactly, but it's one of the first. Bellshires in Nashville. $660.XX/Out The Door. Here are some crappy pictures.
  4. I'm a local truck driver (TN/KY) for one of the largest flooring wholesalers. Along with flooring products, we also sell wall tile, countertops (several types), Formica, and some other building materials.
  5. He acts like this, because everyone is paying attention to him.
  6. Disturbed is another great band!
  7. Simple copy and paste the link to the video. You know, the http://www............ thingy. it's at the top of the page.
  8. The Greatest Band, EVER! I've seen them nearly 20 times, in nearly as many cities.

  9. Something similar happened to someone I know. He was cleaning his 357 Blackhawk, with one round in the wheel. He thought he emptied it. With the gun laying across his stomach, it fired. Luckily, he didn't shoot himself. However, the round did go through the sofa, through the wall, through the dresser and contents in the next room, and finally was stopped by the dresser drawer.
  10. I've always tried to have respect ALL LEO's, but after a bogas speeding ticket, I've somewhat lost faith in the entire system. It's easy to make excuses and/or say "accidents happen", but that's usually coming from someone who's never been wronged. First of all, I'll be the first to admit, I've done my fair share of speeding, and if busted, been as happy as one could expect to take the punishment like a man. Until this situation, I've never attempted fighting a traffic violation. I was in my work truck (18 wheeler), headed west on I-40. I had about 22,000 lbs. in the trailer, going up hill around the 163 mile marker (West of Dickson). About 1/2-1 mile past the exit, I was pulled over by a THP officer who said he clocked me at 77mph. As soon as the number 77 spewed from his mouth, I knew he was full of BS. Our trucks are governed at 70mph. Knowing how heavy my load was, and the fact I was going up a hill, there was no way in hell I was doing anywhere near 77mph. Knowing there was no way he clocked ME at 77mph, I politely told him that he must have clocked someone else. Of course, he knew it was me. Being the nice guy I am, I didn't bother with a full blown argument. I figured it would be no problem solving it during the court hearing. I also knew Mr. THP officer didn't have a clue, because he tried giving me a ticket for a log book violation, which wasn;t gonna stick, because I wasn't required to carry a log book. As soon as I was let go (with a ticket), I went a few miles down the road, made my delivery, and headed back to the Penske (where we lease our trucks) lot. I had them connect my truck to the computer system, so I could get a printout of my actual speeds. For those who don't know (don't worry, the THO officer and Judge had no clue either), all 18 wheelers have an on-board computer system that tracks everything from speeds, RPM's, engine temp., rear end temp., transmission temp, shifting points, and many many other things. The OBC tracks this stuff to the SECOND. Of course, in the 3 months prior to the ticket, my truck had not exceeded 72mph. With this information in hand, I knew this would be an open and shut case. WRONG! When I got up in front of the judge (Centerville), I made it a point to clear up the whole "log book violation" issue. And of course, the judge told the THO officer that it would be a good idea if he talked to his supervisor about the actual laws regarding log books. I didn;t quite get the same results when it came down to the speeding tickets. I handed the judge the printout from Penske, showing that my truck had never reached anywhere near the 77mph mark. The judge had no idea what he was looking at, so he handed the printout to the THP officer, who didn't even know basic log book laws. Of course, this idiot couldn't make heads or tails of the printout, so he said "Judge, anyone could have made this on a computer". So, in other words, this SOB was calling me a liar. No, not just anyone could have made up such a printout. I then explained to the Judge that this information is the very same information that THP would used in the event of a traffic accident involving a semi, but again, the moron THP officer told the Judge, "That's not true..We use another computer. Bull F'in S**t. There is only one computer on the truck for them to use, and because the Judge didn;t know a damn thing either, I was found guilty. Without a doubt, not even an ounce of doubt, I was screwed by the system who didn't have a clue. The THP officer and Judge were/are as incompetent as the day is long. Who's the one to pay for such ignorance? ME! And they don't give a damn.
  11. I've never buffed an entire gun, but I buffed the barrel, guide rod end, slide stop, slide release, all pins, and the grip safety on my XD40.
  12. Very nice choice. A very close friend of mine lives on the road, also. He's a tour bus driver.
  13. One of the greatest bands and song, ever. Very nice choice.
  14. I already pay $132/month for Comcast TV and Internet, and that is without any movie channels. I'll look into switching if it gets much higher.
  15. I have to agree with Joe on this one.
  16. Thanks for the info, Len. I'll keep that in mind.
  17. This man hasn't put out a bad song, IMHO. I was lucky enough to see him during his 'Face The Promise Tour'. It's hard to pick just one or two, but here's one that even the non-Seger fans would know. [ame] [/ame]
  18. Like this! I'm not sure why it didn't work for you. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wETg1f-tZ_8[/ame]
  19. Simply copy and paste the link. The video will appear.
  20. IMHO, the original sucks, but this version is great. Chris Cornell - Billie Jean (Yes, the Michale Jackson song) Live/Acoustic version. [ame] [/ame]
  21. Great choice. That must be the longest version I've heard.
  22. Espen Lind(on guitar), Askil Holm, Alejandro Fuentes, Kurt Nilsen All four are Norwegian Singers.
  23. I hope this hasn't already been done. If so, I couldn't find it. What's one of the songs you can listen to over and over again? It doesn't necessarily have to be your normal "type" of music, just a song that really moves you. This typically isn't my "type" of music, but I can listen to this song for hours. There are many versions of this song. Most would likely know it from the movie, Shrek. Most would say Jeff Buckley's version is the best. Though it's extremely difficult to disagree, I love this version. Hallelujah Espen Lind(on guitar), Askil Holm, Alejandro Fuentes, Kurt Nilsen [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ABY68mknSs[/ame]
  24. Bellshires in Nashville $660 Out The Door. That price is for the bi-tone. The all black model is a bit cheaper. I think it's $622 OTD.
