  1. Either way F-150 or Raptor, air bags deployed it is a total!! Wreck that is.
  2. I would like more information like rules of different classes. Yardage that will be shot, are there time limitations, fee to shoot etc. I got a few extra .22 rounds that need shootin!!
  3. I too will not give to the Red Cross. Look at all the money they received to rebuild houses in Haiti. They were supposed to build thousands and at last count had built 6. Whew that really helps. Be cautious where you give you donations, some only pass along a small portion to the people in need.
  4. I will echo Climbers post, I think they all have a limited lifespan, especially if you leave them up all year long. With that said, I haven't had what I would consider a high end camera, and doubt that I will. I have had good luck out of moultrie brand. I would look at top reviews along with the remarks you get here and go from there.
  5. Congrats to him!! Don't ever quit doing the things you enjoy. Age is a number, I know 40 year olds that are in terrible health. I think one key is to stay active. You can sit around and feel sorry for yourself that you can't run a 4.4 40, heck I never could. You won't see me running even if a grizzly is after me, I will turn and empty my magazine then sit and rest!!
  6. I'm with Greg, I miss his humor. My former boss got to see one of his shows and he said he was crazy funny.
  7. Try LSN local sales network. Most ads are Tn, Ky or Nc, sort of a regional network. Don't see as many scam ads as Craigslist
  8. Tall oak short piece of rope. Repeat offenders=0
  9. Update on injuries. 1 person was killed and 5 injured. I read where a trackhoe was involved. I know they have markers where the line is, evidently somobody screwed up big time. Prayers for injured and families involved.
  10. Mark keep us posted on the aquaponics, I have a friend in Mississippi that has done it for about 3 years, he uses bluegill because his is outside and in Miss. it is illegal to use tillapia as it doesn't get cold enough to kill them if they got into a stream or river as they are considered an invasive species. He told me the tomatoes were the most delicious he has ever had and he is over 65. Sounds like you got a very nice place to retire, hope all your plans pan out!!
  11. Thought I would revive this old thread. I planted our fall garden for 2nd year in a row. Have been picking 2nd planting of green beans for about 3 weeks now. Have kale, iceberg lettuce which is first for me, turnips plus our favorite brocolli. It has been super dry here and without watering it would all be gone. Believe it or not we still have 3 cherry tomatoe plants blooming and loaded with green maters, have these planted in a container also btw. If you have never planted a fall garden give it a try. I have raised beds and finished our cold frame or small green house on the bed that has the lettuce and kale, took some old wooden windows that were in the barn and all I am waiting for is cold weather where they need to be covered up. Last year took pvc pipe and made hoops that were covered with heavy plastic sheeting and it served it's purpose.
  12. Yeah I got that tercel, it was a joke!! LOL
  13. Jp, it will be addictive. I too started on a rockchucker and after getting the sdb I literally couldn't walk past it without loading 15-20 rounds and chuckling to myself at all the ammo I had made in such a short short time. Enjoy it and you will want to kick yourself for not getting one 14 years ago!! LOL
  14. I have a SDB I bought on evilbay about 15 years ago and Dillon has always been there to replace parts for free. I have my to load .40 cal and .38's, I have contemplated getting another to keep each press set up for 1 caliber. I started out on a single stage rock chucker and literally I could not walk past the SDB without cranking out 15-20 rounds and chuckling to myself at all the time I had saved over the single stage. Is it the best press out there, no, but I don't think for the money you can beat it. If you shoot more than you can crank out on a SDB you need to just buy it by the truckload. I have thought about getting a friend to place a wager, the bet would be I will load up 100 rounds of .40 cal, let him/her to load their mags up and when they begin shooting I would start reloading again. At a time say 1 or 2 hours we would quit and I will bet I have more than 100 rounds loaded up when they quit. I can load good quality safe ammo at a rate of 200-250 rounds per hour if I have a full hopper of powder and 3 or more primer tubes loaded up. Enjoy it!!!
  15. They sure do look appetizing. How did you teach the chicken how to cook??
  16. There are lots of secluded cabins for rent near Dale Hollow Lake. The lake is low right now, but if you want peace and quiet, you can find it here along with all the thousands of acres of hiking you want. P.S. come at your own risk, you won't want to go back home!!!
  17. I assume that everyone has heard about the Colonial pipeline spill near Birmingham,Al. I was reading some comments on Channel 5 news and 1 man that had went to 4 stations before finding 1 with gas said it was "mass chaos". This totally confirms that people really freak out when there is a snow storm coming, a hurricane coming or something like this pipeline spill. Many people freak out and go fill up all their vehicles and every gas can they have. It does nothing but make the situation worse. But this should be a reminder to all here that in some catastrophic event people will freak out and all hell with break loose. I was doing some surfing and was looking at the U.S. infrastructure and it ain't a pretty picture. Bridges, pipelines, dams, sewer lines, water lines, roads, electric grid all are overworked for what they were built for and the life span of most of it expired 20 or more years ago. All this to say, be as prepared as you can be so that when life throws us a curve we can ride out the bumpy road.
  18. I think this is a bunch of bogus reporting myself, has anyone thought how much 6.5 tons of ammo is. I don't believe anyone in Kali had that many guns and that much ammo. Funny they are going to keep the 250K cash. If they would have sold the guns they would have donated the money to Hillary or Bernie anyway. Makes all of our guns more valuable the way I look at it. Morons!!!!! This is why even single people need a will, leave your stuff to someone that will enjoy like you do.
  19. Picked all the broccoli and cabbage. Have harvested yellow squash, zuchinnis, pulled up all my onions, picked 2 messes of green beans and have gobs of green maters waiting on them to ripen. It has been very dry here with only 2" rain last month and only 1 so far this month.
  20. Amen! I want to thank each of you who served in our military!! Yes we need to never never forget our lost heroes. I have many family and friends that were vets of WWII, Korea, Vietnam and all the Gulf wars. We need to keep our kids and grandkids informed so that the important dates like Dec. 7, 1941, June 6, 1944, May 8, 1945 which is VE day, August 15, 1945 which is VJ day.
  21. Congrats to this young lady shooter. Tell her to keep it fun and in the 10 ring!!
  22. He needs more target practice or a higher cap mag!! Bet the thug will think twice before trying that house again.
  23. DS, I am no expert but I would recommend just running some 14 gauge wire directly from the battery to the lights with a switch if you like. I wouldn't tie into the house wiring at all. I am planning on a small solar setup with a inverter to go to 110 volt AC to run a few small appliances occasionally and recharge my cordless tool batteries. I got to thinking  one day when the power had went off just what I would miss the most if it never came back on. Answer is ice and recharging my cordless tools. I have become very dependent on the little boogers as I have grown older.
  24. Greg, I believe the most precious gift we have to offer anyone is our time. If she lives alone, a call or visit just to chat would probably be appreciated more than you know. Plus offer your services around her home would be great.
  25. Use a cable style throttle cable instead of the old style rod type linkage. As Murgatroy said don't spend a lot of time or money on the intake, just modify the linkage. Got any rod clubs or old style mechanic shops they can help ya.
