Those cans/cases found at Wal-Mart seem to be a bit on the high side.

I know someone that uses some sort of Maxpedition fanny pack holster thingy. Don't know exactly which model it is.

Three years ago, It took me a good three months of searching to find my current truck.    I knew I wanted a full size truck with a V-8, extended cab, automatic, tow package, power windows and lock, A/C, less than 100,000 miles, and not a penny over $8,000 cash.    This is when I quickly realized people never stayed home. I can't tell you how many trucks I looked at (even 3-4 year old trucks) 150K-200K+ miles on them. I also realized that cash wasn't king when buying a used truck. It wasn't easy to find someone who was willing to negotiate on the price.   I finally found a 2002 Ford F150 with everything I was looking for, except the dealer wanted $9200. It had only 90,000 miles on it, so I decided to check it out. After some haggling, we agreed on $8300 out the door. I went $300 over budget, but after three months, it was a small price to pay. 

That explains it. Guilty.

I learned two things when shopping for a used truck a few years ago.    1) Trucks ain't cheap in Tennessee.  2) People don't stay home anymore.   I was amazed at the number of 3-4 year old trucks with 200,000+ miles on them. I don't care if a truck is 6 months old, if it has 200,000 miles on it, it's not worth $10,000 or more.

Not that it's anything to brag about, but I think Bass Pro has a fair selection of knives.

I once had a CRKT Ken Onion Eros, and that thing was super light. I don't recall how light, but I'm pretty sure it was less than 2 oz.

Depending on your budget, the Kershaw Chill is right at 2 oz, and the Benchmade 530 is even lighter than that. Both have a blade length of just over 3".

  According to the police:   For what that's worth.

My current EDC is a Zero Tolerance ZT350. If you consider a Zero Tolerance knife for EDC, do yourself a favor and check out the blemished models offered at Kershaw Guy. Big savings.

Based on the local news and a coworker who's wife works at Vandy, this year is particularly bad. Hope I don't regret not getting the flu shot. Get well soon, David.

This is a photo that was attached to a local news story about a weapons and drug bust. According to the police, one of them is fully automatic. Can anyone identify the 2nd and 5th from the top?

I would prefer a plain, but there's been a time or two when I was extremely grateful for having the serrations during an unexpected situation. If I'm buying an EDC, it is serrated. 

The elite guys with specialized skills and/or training can make good money working with high-profile clientele. Mall Ninja, Armored car driver, etc., not so much. 

I've thought about that, but I've never done it before. I was hoping to get enough pointers from this project to feel comfortable doing other projects myself. I can get all the materials at a steep discount, so that will save me some money. 

I am needing an EXPERIENCED tile setter / installer to give me a quote on having two backsplashes tiled in the kitchen. Depending on the price, I would like to have both bathroom floors done, too. I will supply all materials. You MUST have experience and proper tools. I live in Springfield.

I was a smoker for several years before I switched to dipping about 10 years ago. I decided to stop by VolVapor (http://www.volvapor.com) today. It's owned by a fellow TGOer. I didn't know much at all about electronic cigarettes, and he was more than willing to take the time to explain things to me. He hooked me up with a beginners package.

[quote name="Keal G Seo" post="1092243" timestamp="1389292678"]Ok so here is the scoop on why I ask. I asked on another thread about the maker of a buffer tube and when I went to MAS Defense's website I got to looking around. They seem to have decent prices on pistol barrels so I was considering them. Their options are: Hardened Steel, HBAR Chrome Moly, Chrome Moly, Melonite Nitride, Chrome Lined, Stainless Steel and HBAR Stainless. I'm just not sure what the performance differences in these are as I usually just stick with factory.[/quote] I am also considering one of their barrels for my pistol build.

I couldn't pass up that deal. Thank you.

YEARS have gone by like this. I guess I'll be contacting MO. I know where my orange patch is they gave me but the card is long gone![/quote] The patch isn't necessary, is it? I hope not, because that this has been missing for 25 years.

I'm pretty sure it worked for Cheech and Chong a time or two.

The State of Illinois has an online database where you can simply print a copy from their website. No fees involved. I printed 5 or 6 copies, then saved a copy to the computer. 

Does a cardboard toilet paper tube and aluminum foil count?
