Well, on the bright side, this whole mask thing is gonna wreak havoc on all the facial recognition data collection programs.

I think I will just stay home, I have come to realize I don't really care for human interaction anyway these days.

A Great American indeed. Rest in Peace and prayers to the Daniels family.

I originally tried Morgan-Stanley Dean Witter and felt as though I was speaking with a carnival barker every time I spoke with the broker. I moved to Edward Jones and found them not only to be expensive but constantly pushed for investment in Edward Jones funds over others. I have been handling my own for years now with a conservative approach. I may not get the rocket climbs but I also don't experience the drops. I use the turtle and hare approach in that slow and steady wins the race.

I realized I hadn't seen a Doctor in the last 10 years except for colonoscopy's and figured since I had passed 60 I had better find one I could call mine in case I had to have one. So last Friday I went to a Doctor for initial consultation and general review. So when he came in the room he asked what I was there for and I told him the above and coupled with the fact that I was getting old and for the last couple of years I had been a biscuit away from 200 pounds and wanted to lose some weight. I then asked him how long he had been doctoring. He seemed a little put off by that but then started giving me a full run down on his education and experience. I stopped him and explained I just wanted to find a Doctor that was going to out last me so I didn't have to find another one. He laughed and told me to get on the scale. I must have eaten the biscuit...with jelly. He told me to cut the carbs and limit the sugar, and after review of my blood work he told me to come back when I needed a Doctor. I have the same aches and pains any old dude like me can expect, bad knees, bum shoulder, stiff joints etc. but I was never too easy on myself between multiple collapsed lungs and several broken bones etc. in my younger days, so I just feel blessed to be in the shape I am so far. If I can just drop 25 to 30 pounds I will be happy. Even without my ice cream, sweet tea and mashed potatoes.

My condolences to you. The loss of a four legged companion is one the worst pains there is. Many prefer to wait a while before bringing another into the fold. Some like to find another soon after. I have done both ways and must say that getting another soon after actually provided me a lot of comfort and helped me to grieve the loss. It actually escalated the bonding process for us both. But that's just me.

I went to the "get my payment" which indicated they did not have my Direct Deposit info. In looking to provide the info I found that it asked for my personal info and 2019 AGI. The wife and I filled jointly and there was no where to indicate that the AGI was a joint AGI. If they took only my info associated with the AGI it would appear that I exceeded the limit for eligibility yet filing jointly we were within the limit yet like I said, there was nowhere to indicate it was a joint filing. I decided to just wait and see if a check comes.

Just curious why all the geographical area forums say their purpose is talk about Nashville and Middle Tennessee Area, if so, we only need one of these.

Though I do believe this speaks volumes as to the character of KahrMan...something about the above seemed a little creepy.

...or be the first person they think of when the panic subsides and they decide they want to sell that evil weapon they bought cheap just to get it out of the house before it attacks someone.

Perimeter Defense and Perimeter Detection are two different things. Detection can be as simple as tin cans and fishing line, daisy chained driveway sensors set for zone coverage up to microwave sensors and assorted motion alarms. As for the cash, put it in the stock market, there is a big sale going on right now.

I will stumble across a P226 and P228 one day that just has to go home with me.

I sure hope it is not a sin to covet thy fellow forum members Sigs. Very nice.

Oh yeah, you can take those statistics to the bank...much like a counterfeit $100 bill.

I have often thought I should give one of those a home. I just haven't had one follow me home yet.

Save 15% of everything you make and don't touch it until you can't make anymore. "Want" and "need" are not the same thing. Remember that the "Big Picture" is not a self portrait.

Congratulations to both of you. The wife and I are at 34 and counting.

This times 2. The City of Oak Ridge tends to have grandiose ideas yet no business sense or fiscal intelligence. They are a soft target for developers to rip off.

Dang! Then I would have to carry 10 or more weapons.

The guys on the left and right need to learn where to put their booger hookers.

Very first of many cars and trucks was a spotless 1964 Chevy Impala 4dr, 283 V8, auto, P/S, factory below dash A/C. It only had 28K miles on it and still had the clear plastic seat wrap on it when I bought from a little grandma for $300 in 1975. First day I drove it to school all the rich kids were razzin' me about while standing next to their Trans Ams, 280Zs etc. I just said "Yeah, but Daddy didn't buy mine." I never heard another word about it. Other memorable cars that I wish I still had included: 1976 L82 Corvette 1967 Catalina 2+2 Tri-Power, 4spd., 428 CI, NASCAR production. 1975.5 455 Super Duty Trans Am, 4 speed. Mid year production, very limited numbers. 1970 Cougar XR7, 351 Cleveland convertible. 1965 Mustang 2+2 Fastback, 4-speed, 289 1955 (Late) GMC stepside. 2006 Mustang GT 2007 Mustang GT 1970 Mustang Mach 1, 351 V8, auto. Making this list brought back a lot of memories and surprising, I never wrecked any of them. I have had many other vehicles but these were my most enjoyable.

Years back I was shooting cowboy action events. I picked up several Hahn 45 CO2 single action revolvers for practice in the garage with a backstop. They worked very well. I no longer shoot CAS events but I do occasionally enjoy shooting the Hahns.

I wish all a Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy New Year. I pray the Lord gives comfort and strength to those as needed.

My duty had me spending a lot of time over several years on the butt of custom built bolt guns with high end glass. Most all were .308. I did have a personal rifle at the time which was a budget Remington "Sportsman" in .270. My buddy and I bedded the original stock and floated the barrel and this was my deer rifle. It really cranked our armorer when my budget Remington matched groups of our custom duty rifles. Eventually I no longer was on the bolt guns for work and sold my Remington. Recently I finally decided to pick up another bolt rifle. I really didn't need to spend a ton of money so after talking around I saw an ad on Armslist that was nearby a couple of weeks ago. I picked up a Ruger American .308 with a 3x9 for just under three bills and am very pleased with it. There is probably no more than a half inch or less difference in three round groups from the groups I had on my previous rifles. In my opinion only, unless you are doing some serious competitive shooting, a Ruger American, Savage, Mossberg, Howa, Remington 783 etc. are fine for hunting and pleasure shooting. Granted there are smoother, nicer finish, sexier rifles out there for more money if that is what you want, but these will certainly get the job done. But then I am also pretty fond of Taurus revolvers, product may settle during shipping.

Prayers on the wing.
