So, I have $3.46 total in "Ebay Bucks" that expires 8/2/2014. So, I figured I would come here and ask you all what I should buy with the $3.46. Likely, it will be something that I don't need, would rarely want, and will never use. But if I don't use it I lose it!   So, the only rules are:   Must be Buy It Now, Safe for Work, and Price + Shipping must be $3.46 or less.

So what about the whole fiasco about "no more trusts"?

We buy the frozen packs of salmon from ALDI. They typically come out to $1/fillet unless they are on sale.   I keep them frozen. When we want two of them I heat up a cast iron skillet on about medium or slightly higher and then wait for it to smoke a bit. Then I place about two tablespoons of real butter in the pan and wait for it to melt. Then I place the salmon skin side up for about 4 minutes, then flip it for about 3-4.   Seasonings before placing on each side: salt, garlic powder, pepper, curry.   It turns out very good this way. I like to add a bit of chili powder and chipotle but my wife isn't crazy about spicy. I am, that's one of the reasons I married her:)

Once I got one of their cables with patch stuck in an AK because it was a pistol patch and was too large. I pulled and pulled on the metal "handle" that attaches to the cable. It bent pretty bad.   I contacted them, they sent me a replacement handle and a bottle of some of their Otis Ultra Bore. I think it was all free but they may have had me cover a few dollars shipping. However, I think it was entirely free.   I was very satisfied with their service.

[/quote] I am going to give you and your Fiancée the benefit if the doubt. If you trust her entirely discuss with her. Really find out what "chatting with her" means. If she has been hopping online for hours daily and romantically entangling herself with this guy, you should probably call it quits. If this guy sent her a Facebook message saying "hey you are pretty" and she replied "thanks" and that was all there was to it, then maybe stick up for her and with her and do all that is necessary to protect the best of you. There are nuts out there that become severally attached for the most incredible reasons. Things such as "she looked at me in class the second I thought of her so it must be fate". That type of scary stuff. I have seen firsthand this sort of attachment and I guess I never truly understood how severe this type of thing could be. It does happen and can be very dangerous. Let us know what happens!

"It's a ------------- (something NO ONE has ever heard of)." "Do you have it with you? No holster is gonna have that name; we'll have to find something close." "Nah, I didn't bring it." DO YOU GO SHOE SHOPPING WITHOUT YOUR FEET, YOU MORON????? :wall: :slapfight:[/quote] Hey, to be fair, there once was a guy in Cleveland that ran a "Surplus Store". It was mostly VooDoo Tactical stuff and some odds and ends. Also sold cheap holsters. Also had a sign on the door stating that you could not bring live ammo into the store. I asked him about it and he basically started going off on folks who carry pistols and how there was no reason to have a loaded gun is his store. He said he would call the cops on you if you did. I wanted to eagerly to ask of I could bring my pistol in to see which holster fit but figured it was best to avoid the situation altogether. The guy was pretty much a nut altogether. Went right along with the handguns are bad and all I need is a shotgun to protect my family. Yet sold MOLLE gear and sidearm holsters? Rumor has it that he died in the back and it was a good few days or a week until someone noticed. Cleveland guys might remember it down on Springplace. Is now a candy shop or something.

[quote name="Dolomite_supafly" post="1171374" timestamp="1406151321"]We elected a sheriff who has been in office before. Previously he has said he doesn't believe NFA stuff should be legal in civilians hands. Took a call to the State's Attorney General office to get it done for a friend. And recently he went a bit farther and had all his officers turn in their full auto duty rifles because he said they do not need them either. So officers are now buying their own rifles for duty. It is not about funding either because he is purchasing brand new SIG pistols to replace their relatively new Glocks. And this is being done while officers are being issued armor with a manufacture date of 1992 because they cannot afford new armor for their officers. It is a sad state of affairs when a sheriff doesn't trust his deputies or provide them with basic lifesaving gear. It is even worse when he doesn't trust those who elected him. So I think it is about to turn dark in my county as far as NFA stuff is concerned. I might fill out a form to see what he says and where he stands. I do need to build a few more suppressors for some other weapons as well as maybe making my new AK pistol an SBR.[/quote] That really sucks. At least he is consistent with his officers and the populace. It would bother me more if he was anti NFA for civilians but loaded his officers to the teeth. There isn't anything that would allow him to legally confiscate/invalidate existing NFA stuff such as yours is there? Can we buy the Glocks?:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  Well, if that is what you are "wanting", then Sprint, Verizon, etc all already do this:) Sort of. The main purpose of this isn't to gain cellular service where there is none, it's allowing you to use your cell phone with another without a cell network period. At $150 I don't think that is too bad a price for a pair. At $300, that seems steep.   Of course you could build your own "network" using HAM radios and whatnot, but the beauty of this product is its simplicity as well as the fact that it is "smart".

http://static.gotenna.com/   With it you can communicate with no cell network at all. Essentially it is a Bluetooth accessory that use radio technology to create a "network" of its own. You can communicate with anyone that has one of these. They claim range is up to 50 miles, but I expect what would typically be found on FRS radios.   Right now they are $149 for a pair, not too bad in my opinion, if they work as expected.   https://gotenna.myshopify.com/products/preorder   I would really like to test two of these out to see how they work, they seem nifty.    

So, I've been wearing the Aegis for about a week now. I love it. Holds tight at whatever length I set it at. It is easy to put on and remove, as well as comfortable with or without a gun.   As a sidenote, the Ranger PALS is ending today:   http://www.ebay.com/itm/221495520782?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649   I would recommend that you get the Aegis, but some people prefer the looks/function of the Ranger.

Wow. Even if it works...perfectly....$199. http://22lrreloader.com/shop/ That would have bought a lot of .22lr a few years ago. Even at inflated prices, it will still buy a lot. This would be such a slow going process. Interesting though.

I bet he still has his email attached to his TGO account. We should all PM him on here asking if he has any .22lr for sale.

      Technically, no.   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/user/10535-nunya/

I think it was you that said the Ranger was a good buy. Well, if you were closer I would meet-up with you just so you could try this one out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  I had to re-read the very fist sentence several times before I realized that I did not read it incorrectly.   I had low expectations, but this "article" broke all expectations and was unbelievable.

Oh you guys. I came home yesterday after reading through this at work and craving spicy stuff. I cooked me up some chili curry salmon on rice that I mixed in some ghost pepper hot sauce. It was good:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lets first throw this out there. People typically spend $300-$1000 for a firearm, a minimum of $115 (not including any class fees) initially in the State of Tennessee for your HCP, $20-$200 for a holster, but then skimp on the belt. Why? The second best thing about a good gun belt is that you can wear it even when you aren't carrying! I started out carrying with a $159.95 High Noon Holsters' "Rock Steady" belt. It was by far the nicest belt I had ever owned up until that point. I thought it couldn't get any better. I carried this way for probably 6-12 months thinking I couldn't get any better. However, I then began to experiment with synthetic type belts. I began carrying with the "Spec-Ops Brand Better BDU Belt". By this time my High Noon Rock Steady was showing wear and stretch. Overall, the Spec-Ops Brand BDU belt is a nice belt, especially for the price. However, in order to "carry right" with that belt, you must clench it quite tightly so that your holster and gun is secured by being pulled against your body. Although it worked, it was uncomfortable. I kept seeing reviews and ads on various gun websites for the Ares Gear Ranger belt. It is a really long story, but in a nutshell I bought one and then won two via a photo contest that they had. I had three of these things! I loved them. My biggest gripe was having to take the buckle off to feed it through your pants/holster/etc. However, the "stiffness" of the belt made it a great and nearly perfect gun belt. I can thank our very own Macgyver for persuading me to give it a try when I finally inquired about it on TGO. (Shameless Plug: I have two of these Rangers on Ebay right now until 7/22/2014 to fund my Aegis purchase. Ranger and Ranger Enhanced PALS). Ares Gear has been testing a new buckle design for a while and letting some people give it a go. Well, somehow I missed it but they started selling them outright a few months ago. I had to have one! The "Ranger Buckle" is the Cobra QR buckle. It's a nice buckle and made in Australia. The new "Aegis" buckle is made in USA. So, here it is! A great thing about Ares Gear is they have a lifetime warranty for anything they make. If you ever have an issue with a piece of gear that we made and you bought from us or one of our dealers, we will repair or replace it. Forever. We're here for you. When I first received this belt today, my first thought was literally "I've overdone it now! This buckle is literally too big!". However, after actually testing the belt I decided that the buckle is actually perfect and will do just fine. One thing I really like about the buckle is that on the back it is stamped with what size it is. That's good to have once you start having multiples. (Click the image below to see at full-size). Now, I know many here are probably Android but Apple is the way to go! Now, I know that is possibly just as or more dangerous that 9mm Luger vs .45 ACP, AK-47 vs AR-15, or Glock vs Anything, but the point is that this buckle is quite thick. But it is nice! Basically, the way this buckle works is when the sliding pin is loose the belt slides right through. You can see this in the photo where the pin is to the right. Then, when you pull the belt to the length you want, you just slide the pin a bit over to put tension on the webbing. You can see that here. This belt is easily and infinitely adjustable. It is "secure" once the pin is set. So far I am more impressed with this belt than any other belt, ever. Now, keep in mind that this is the "enhanced" version, meaning that it is thicker than their standard belt. Personally, I recommend that if they have your color and size combination to purchase your Ares Gear from LarueTactical.com. They always include some Dillo Dust and an Armadillo (if you don't know what these are you will just have to order to find out!). Ares Aegis Ares Sizing LarueTactical
