funny shirts there. I used to have one, when rafted and canoed a lot, that said, "Raft naked, it'll add color to your cheeks." On side note, all this talk has got me missing my canoing days in Arkansas. now I need to get a normal job with weekends and vacation time so I can go!

There's no helping you 44m. Maybe you should quit going to Tune's classes. The crazy must be rubbing off on you.

I've got some rats that'll give you a little more meat you can have!

In high school a couple of my friends got his dad's "Police" jacket and blue light and was pulling people over giving "warnings". It was big fun till his dad found out.

Just don't use it at all! To each his own, but to me it amounts to an argument that doesn't exist.

What happened to the days when a muscle car was one you could work under the hood without a computer and the equivalent of a home loan? Still wish I had that 69 Camaro SS i almost bought in high school.

Try a search, as there were some pretty extensive threads and discussions on the topic.

They all have meaning, It's just a matter of if it is significant or trivial. For instance the Mighty Mouse my friend got means he's a dork!

...but what does it say about the people in Massachusetts that keep electing this guy! I mean, regardless of politics this guy is the antithesis of a "good"politician. He doesn't have looks, can't speak, sounds like he's hooked on phonics and not doing well, can't even lie well, and yet people elected him? I just don't get it.

I also have no idea what you are talking about, but if you are referring to a Sabre Defense AR..... good choice.

I'm still waiting on the 6.8 upper so I can't say on durability, but I have a ADM Recon scope mount that I had used on my other upper. Works really well.

I will have to say that with 3 kids and not a lot of money, when we eat out we eat as cheaply as possible. We get water and no desserts and a lot of times servers will assume I won't tip well because I'm "cheap" on the initial bill. Really aggravates me, especially since my family is in the business. Those who teat us like everyone else I make up for in the tip. sometimes I will tip well even if they don't treat us right, just to hopefully teach them something about service. That and with kids there can sometimes be more to clean up.

+1 and that is wrong right there.... but funny nonetheless!

My family is in the fine dining business and I have worked everything from busing to hosting. It does change ones perspective when you see the other side. That being said, I don't think most people realize how servers are paid and think that tips are on top of a "living" wage. Not to defend poor tippers, as some are just jerks and it wouldn't make a difference, but I think most poor tipping is done in ignorance.

Kinda like promising to crack down on ear marks while he's holding the pen he just signed 8000+ of the little goodies! For people to still be drinking to kool-aid, he's either extremely arrogant, an idiot, or the Messiah.

These threads always end up this way! The morals of community and personal responsibility are not the same as an economic system. Though it should have those as a base, it is essentially a machine. Much like a computer is just a machine. It is the operator who has moral dilemma's. When we start tinkering and adjusting the computer to do commands based on situational scenarios, the odds of becoming immoral go from 0 to infinite. If it is consistent, irregardless of the current scenario, it cannot be unfair. This is the problem with socialism. It seeks to adjust the computations depending on the environment and so is inherently flawed, unfair, and will fail in the outcome. The problem with free markets is that occasionally the people it serves elect morons who adjust the computations!

Those aren't morals or values, they are feelings and will cause inconsistency at best down the road. A free market has to exist without feelings or else it will be tremendously unfair and biased towards who ever controls it - ex. our current mortgage "bailout" scheme. It needs to apply the same rules in hard times as it does in the good times. Not trying to pick on you personally.

Here's a pretty good write up from the XD sight. http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/latest-hs2000-sa-xd-faq-stickies/33888-coloring-your-engravings-write-up.html

Use the Crayola first. You can always remove it. I've found i don't always like the first try.

They work and are awesome. I had some on my first XD and do exactly what they advertise them to do. They also will take forever to get. Customer service seems to be their weak link so far. They look big but aren't in comparison, but the sight picture is huge, in a good way. Of your two, I'd go with the Warren's. I'm not a big fan of the XS sights.

free markets have a way of weeding out the dummy's among us by breaking their bank and putting it into the banks of smarter people. Seriously prices will come down when people quite acting like idiots. But then again, maybe we aren't as poor and broke as the government tells we are.

I got pulled over for that about a year ago. I'm in a mini-van with my wife and 3 kids. He must of thought they were mules! j/k He ran my stuff and let me go. I think he was bored.

Good place. Cheap, I've never had a crowd problem, range masters are genrally pretty good. I have heard of some RM that are jerks, but personally the times I've been I haven't seen anything that would turn me off.

I like the PF9 as a backup and pocket gun but prefer something a little "more" for primary carry. I currently carry a 19 and have had two PF9's in the past. I wouldn't and haven't felt uncomfortable with the PF9, but really like the peace of mind the 19 gives me as far as reliability, capacity, sights, etc. go.

Chlorine burns off pretty fast. In fact one day without fresh chlorine and you will be easily in drinking safe levels. In fact, a lot of tap water I tested in Nashville has more chlorine than swimmming pools. When chlorine combines with bacteria, foreign particles ect. it breaks it down. What's left are neutral chloramines/chloramites. These are easily removed with filters, which is why pools have filters. Salt water pools use a very low level of salt (in ppm) as a sanitation medium. If you can taste it you have too much. It will not "burn" or hurt you in any way unless you drink a whole lot of it. Salinity is also easily lowered with dilution. Just a little rain in a salt water pool will lower salinity fairly significantly. All that to say, a good filter will do just fine for drinking purposes in a pinch if you give your pool a day or so to deactivate. all other pool chemicals are made to break down and filter in fairly large filter mediums. Drinking filters are much finer than any pool filter. Especially a sand filter. BTW - I was the post construction service manager for a high end pool company that dealt with a lot of the musicians and athletes here in Nashville and almost all of our pools used salt systems. Great stuff and cost difference is negligible even during install.
