  1. Supposedly Kurt Sutter wrote it out for seven seasons. I hope so.
  2. 3 seasons on netflix, season 4 is on amazon instant and dvd, and season 5 starts tonight on FX. I've only been watching since my deployment last year, but its addictive, and I watched seasons 3 & 4 in a week. The last two seasons have been my favorite so far and I can't wait till this one starts tonight.
  3. Its all good man, I understand, I work in the off road community, and I see people go in $20k worth of debt for toys all the time. I just hate that someone would think I was sucking off the gov. using tax payers money. Back to thread, the ruger SP101 seems to be the favorite by far right now
  4. December 7th, 2012 will be 71 years since Pearl Harbor. Should we just move on and not mention that event anymore either? There is a National Pearl Harbor remembrance day for that one, and I wish they would enact a National 9/11 Remembrance day as well.
  5. +1 I don't remember it to remind me that I should let the government protect me. I remember this day because 3k AMERICANS lost their lives that day, to a group of people who still hate everything we stand for even today. As far as other countrys have much larger losses to other events, while I respect them, those weren't American lives, and they weren't lost in an attack on the country I love and have served.
  6. I'm not a fan of snubnose guns. My EDC consist of around home which is rural, and carrying to work, which is a family owned off road fabrication shop, where the owner carries openly. So I'm not as worried about concealment, it'll be in a belt worn holster, with just a button up shirt tail thrown over it 99% of the time.
  7. Or it could be my post 9/11 GI bills first months worth of BHA, and since my rent is already paid from my full time job, I'm buying myself something shiny with it. Not all young people will put themselves in major debt, or let themselves be a complete drain on society. Thanks for the suggestion though. Anyone got a pistol suggestion? Edit: I didn't mean for that to come off as snappy as it sounds. Its just that I come to a gun forum looking for gun advice, not financial or life advice.
  8. I will be getting my school money in soon, and I plan to use a some of the excess to finally get my HCP and an everyday carry gun. Now while I appreciate a nice auto, and do plan to buy a 1911 framed. 45 one day, for now I'd like to find a full sized revolver to carry. Carry will be loosely concealed, as in a shirt over a belt carried holster. So I'm looking for a revolver, chambered in .357/.38, with a 4" or so barrel, and an external hammer. And Id like to stay under $600, new or used either one. Thanks for the suggestions guys
  9. You and me both. Im countin down the minutes. I don't watch much TV. But I'm definetly watching this
  10. Toliets will be byot. We will be out in the woods, so privacy will be the biggest oak tree. Sorry, last time we had a restroom at my place, but my dads is set up different. I hope everyone is taking their time off, and making plans for the drive. We are getting closer.
  11. Yeah these are rubber soled. I like leather for riding, but man these things work much better 99% of the time around stores, restaurants, etc.
  12. I've been a square toe guy for the last 6-8 years. They fit my foot better, and even my lucchese that'll be my riding boots are square toed. They are leather soled so I'm not to scared of being hung up. The only time I worry about stirrup hangups is during ranch saddle bronc, but so far Ive never had a hang that would have been prevented by a pointed toe. Is there another reason you prefer pointed toes? I'm always intrested in other peoples choices, and why or why not.
  13. So after wearing out my last dress boots, I found one hell of a good deal on these. I'm getting my old lucchese ostrich boots resoled to be my new riding/rodeo boots, and I found these at Elliots boots. They were orginally $205, but they had a tag that said $150. Then the lady said they may be more than that. Turns out they were 50% orginal price. Then the we were talking to the lady at the register and I mentioned being in Cali. And she found out I was military so she gave me 10% off the orginal price. So I ended up paying $80 for $205 set of Rocky boots. If your looking for new boots, Elliott's boots on western ave is great place with good prices.
  14. Never seen or heard them kill something. But Ive heard some good fights 2 or 3 yotes vs my 170 lb Great Pyrenees. He has never lost or been hurt to date. They leave him alone now, and stay off the farm.
  15. We plant both seed taters, and last years left overs. Cut the potatos up, with at least two eyes per piece. We plant in early to mid march, when the signs are in the thighs. The farmers almanac can help you there. Plow the furrow, then walk down dropping the pieces in, then go back and either cover with a hoe, or a hiller plow. We usually get 10 bushel for every 50 lbs we plant. If anyone has any other questions, feel free to ask.
  16. I live close to you, between Oliver Springs and Harriman, I'm renting about 184 acres out this way. I do a lot of hunting, fish poplar creek right out my back door, and we have primtive camp meetings around my place, with hunting, survival classes, hide tanning classes, blacksmithing, etc.
  17. Ive got a gunbelt you can borrow. Pm me for details if your intrested. Im in the oliver springs area, right outside oak ridge.
  18. We had several big taters, but our quantity was way down below normal. Also noticed we had quiet a few big ones that were hollowed out, from rot and bugs which is also pretty unusual for us. Thanks for all the positive comments guys
  19. $10,000 is a high dollar set of mules. We've got $650 in Big John. I'm looking for a team of Belgian drafts right now. I'd like to have two close to Big Johns size, he's 2200+ lbs and a lil over 16 hh. None of those kids are mine, I'm to young for kids still, I'm only 24. But I do realize now how lucky I got growing up working horses, doing blacksmith work, traditional wood work. I learned about a lot of dying arts from my Dad, who grew up with them as a way of life.
  20. I figured some of you guys might enjoy this stuff. We harnessed up our Belgian Big John this morning, and started plowing around 7:30 am. We only plowed out about ten bushel, half we normally plant. We did the majority of it with me plowing, and dad driving, just makes it easier when the horse is only put under harness a few times a year due to time restraints. Waiting to start plowing Everyone picking up while I hold the horse and take a smoke break Dad clucking to the John Plowing in action Double shovel plow, and my nephew farmer in training
  21. I have decided to attend a Farrier school, with the goal of starting my own horseshoeing and blacksmithing business. I have done some research, and my post-9/11 GI bill will be covering most of the expense. I'll be left with a full tool kit($1400) a $500 application fee, and $500 left of my tution. The GI bill will pay $17,500 for out of state pvt school, and the 36 week course at the Kentucky Horseshoeing school is $18k even. The BHA will cover my room in the 8 man bunkhouse, that is $1800 for the entire 36 week course. I'm just asking to get opinions on if this school is the best option, or is there another well accredited school in this general area? Having never ran my own business, what suggestions would you have to someone starting out in something like this? Also if your a farrier, what I can expect as far as yearly income, how large of a customer base is normal, etc. Thanks guys Link to the school http://www.kentuckyhorseshoeingschool.com/
  22. I live in Oliver Springs area, about 1.5 hours or so. I'm willing to drive though for a good job.
  23. I have a set of older Lucchese Ostrich skin dress boots that I have finally worn out. Is there anywhere close by I can take them to get them resoled and cleaned up a bit? I'd just like to get them close to new, since they were pretty close to $450 new, and I don't really wanna replace them, even if they are 4 years old, thats a lot of money to spend right now. See pics for damage. And I willing to go all the way to Nashville for the right person, as long as he can get them close to knew again
  24. Stolen from Caster in the deputy photography thread. Real men take care of their families. Real men don't beat women. Real men can sharpen a knife. Real men don't spend their paychecks on hobbies before food. Drugs, guns, knives, cars, etc. I think this thread should break ten pages of the things a real man can do.
  25. Someone always says this. Why?? He was obviosuly not a good person if he was willing to go into someones home unannounced then take pictures of their young daughter naked, while two boys sat in his patrol car. He wast a good kid, he was a punk who just hadnt been caught.
