My neighbor has a scanner and they can listen in on everything city, county and State so I am guess the older scanners still work. I will ask him about his next time I talk with him.................. :up:

I don't think I better post anything here. I like being a member in good standings.................... :ugh: :up:

"Quote"   " We may well see the day when the worlds oil does not come from the middle east... It will (...and is...) flow from the Americas (...in spite of Obama and the dammed democrats and enviornmentalists...); specifically the good ole USA and Canada... Look for more to flow out... Last november (...2014...), the good ole USA wuz the number one producer of oil in the world...   Yea, we were #1 last year but the real issue with that is our oil companies are selling more than half of it to the highest bidders in Foreign countries instead of it remaining here. What we have now it was we were supposing to be striving for in the last 50-60 years and now that we have it we are not going to keep it. I would advise everyone to enjoy these prices while they last because which the way the Middle East is shaking and baking I don't look for these prices to last long. They have already began cutting back on our oil production to force the prices in foreign countries to go up.  Hope I am wrong but only time will tell.................jmho

This type of garbage has been going on for years. I was talking with my Son the other day about back when he was in school. He had one teacher that didn't teach but would just give out an assignment to the class and then get on the computer in the class room the entire period. One day he had a question about the assignment and made an attempt to walk up and ask the teacher the question. She stopped him short of her desk and asked him what he wanted. He said he had a question about the assignment and she told him that this was not a question and answer period and told him to return to his seat. He did as she instructed and when class was over he walked up and put his text book on her desk. She ask him what he was doing and he said turning my book in so my parents do not get charged for it at the end of the year. I won't need it since your not going to teach out of it. He went the last 3 months of that class without ever completing an assignment and she gave him a C+ for the year and he was moved to the next grade. That is how they taught back then and it has not improved yet. That was back in 1982. I look for i to get much worse and not better......................jmho

I think on this one for many people your asking for an impossibility. I have seen people walk right out in a busy intersection and never raise up to even see where they are. It's like their in some kind of trance...................jmho   (Quote)          "Pay attention to your surroundings all the time. Head outta the smartphone!"

I have had the privilege of discharging what would be considered 2 heavy caliber rifles in my life. First one was a H&H 375 Caliber that hurt like hell on my shoulder and I said once was enough with that gun. The second one was a Holland & Holland side by side 454 with a metal butt plate Bengal tiger hunting gun. I wore a bruise from my shoulder to my waist and half way around my back. At that point in my life which was shortly after returning home in 1975 I promised myself if it was larger than 30-06  I would never pull a trigger. Call me chicken and I will try my best to lay an egg for you but I won't shoot anything bigger than an 06 period.......................... :ugh: :ugh:

Gosh!! I'm late to this party. I have always thought Marlin arms were always top notched. Have they been having problems with their quality of their guns?................................. :ugh: :ugh:

I think after Australia made their decision their crime rate also doubled or tripled and they soon realized that they had also made the same very poor decision to collect all the guns from the civilians...............jmho

We had a guy take his test in my class with an SA 22 cal and passed it quite well. My instructor was always barking to everyone to load six and get ready to shoot regardless of what style of gun you were using to qualify with. There where a couple other wheel guns there also so loading six kept everyone equal fire time.

  I was fishing when I learned from another angler that our country was under attack and loaded my boat on the trailer and headed for the house to learn more. I saw every gas station with cars lined out in the street with people panicking about fuel. I always have gas at the house so I didn't bother trying to get gas. I just wanted to get home. I have had three things I can remember exactly were I was at when I learn of and or felt bad news. The first was I was in 6th period study Hall at high school when we received word of Kennedy's assassination. In1969 I was about 7 clicks south of Chu Lai when I got shot and I was fishing when I learn of the 9/11 attacks. All in that order. There is some things you just don't forget................jmho

Thanks to all of you folks for the uplift in my spirit with your prayers and good wishes. I cannot say I am looking forward to the surgery but with all the well wishes and prayers it is beginning to make me want to get it done and behind me. Just keep them thoughts and I will be fine......................... :up: :up:

I can agree with that but in most other religions they will shun away from the ones that use the religion for evil. In most of the Muslim / Islamic people they stay silent because of the few that might be peaceful, for every peaceful one there are 10,000 radical ones so how do you know who to trust and who will cut your head off if possible. Their belief is death to all infidels and unless you are Islamic/Muslin or a converted one you are an infidel and the enemy..............jmho

I would like to ask folks here a question? Don't want to be discriminating and don't want it to seem so. My question is how many folks here feel that we should be made and or forced to accept the Muslin/Islamic religion as a peaceful non violent religion when we have been shown different so many times? If the Islamic faith is so non violent how come almost every terrorist attack such as the one in France last week and let us not forget it was made clear that every one of the terrorists were either reading aloud from the Qur'an or quoting from it just before all the planes crashed on 9/11? Also the cartoonist and people killed in France were killed for the Islamic faith to Mohammad.  If this post is unacceptable or out of line please remove it  

Well in my opinion every one of those people that had something mouthy about a legal HCP man with a gun being attacked all need to go home and place a GUN BUSTER sign on all of their doors and windows and see how long it takes the bad guys to locate them and give them all a learning experience..............jmho

  One successful suicide Bomber is one to many, One innocent person killed by things of this nature is 1 two many,  Two Boston Bombers were 2 two many. When you start looking at it as a one time incident where lives could or have been lost your failing to realize that if one person can do this today so can 100 more in a week or month if it is not addressed properly the first time. Where would our country be if all of the security around air travel had not been taken after 9/11. We would still have crazy Virgin seeking maniacs flying planes into buildings killing 1000's of Americans............jmho

I watched reruns of Counting cars during the speech. Didn't want to listen to a bunch of lies added to all the lies he has already told in his first 6 years in office. The people spoke last November with a voice at the polls that should have been clear and precise that a bunch of American people are sick and tired of this Clown N Chief being the Clown N Chief. I'm all for just firing him now if the Congress can figure out a way to do it and just deal with ole idiot double barrel JOE. The clown is a LAME DUCK and the Congress will do everything in their power to block anything he attempts to do for next 20 month. Pay him off and send him packing.Just don't allow him to finish destroying the middle class that has still be struggling and hoping to hold out till he is gone. Help give them support till he is gone........jmho

Well, I have know a few snipers over the years and had one on my team in Nam. I learned a lot from him. The most important thing I learned is a lot of being a really good Sniper does require a certain type of person as much as the rifle in which he uses. Because we were shooting in the jungle he was trained on an M40A1 and that was what he used our entire time over there. With that said it only took me about two missions and I was completely comfortable with Arthur on high ground watching our backs. He never missed but always seemed to not want to be very sociable either with any of the rest of the team. We just took him at face value and let it rest at that. Last thing any of the team knew about him after returning home was he purchased a fairly large piece of land in Saskatchewan Canada and had no roads in or out of it. He went in by horse back and never came out as far as we know.

This is the exact reason I have been searching for ever for a shoulder holster I want and have not been able to find one in over three years of looking. I really want a tuxedo style cross my back shoulder to shoulder style with a vertical drop but all I have found is horizontal insert holsters............

Well all the doctors including a new Cardiologist team have concluded that I can have stint surgery instead of cutting me open and they have also concluded that I have no major blocked arteries but 3 secondary arteries that can be treated with medication and does not require any stints. One of the stint companies came up with a solution to my problem with doctor thinking their stints they had on hand might not work and the stint company provided the doctor  with a plan of using two stints rather than one. The Stint company said this type of repair has been done hundreds of times with great success with Abdominal Aneurisms greater then 6 centimeters.  So now I am  scheduled to get to the hospital on the 27th at 11AM and operated on at 1 PM so will be out of pocket about 3 and no more than 4 days in hospital and then back home if everything goes as planned. So I guess I sure would appreciate it if ya'll could remember me and say a few prayers.

"Quote"   I studied engineering; they studied causin trouble and changin the world.    No offense and hope none taken. I'm glad you got your education for sure. But I think the people that were changing the world back then was the 58,000+ that were fighting and dying before the age of 20 in a country which we had no business being in at all. Many of those young men never got a chance to go to college because they received their draft notices before the summer of their graduation was even over.................jmho

And then they wonder why Police react as they do when someone points a gun at them. These are very dangerous times for all of us and not just police. We are all a possible victim at any time and any place. It is very important to stay vigil when outside the home and in some cases inside the home as well.............jmho

Well, I went and read the Facebook posts and I would be willing to be at least 80 to 90% of them belongs to the Moms organization................jmho

Just another little tip I learned over the many years of being a mechanic. I found that adding battery acid to a low battery is much better than adding water because very soon the water added will dilute the acid content of the battery causing failure. You can buy battery acid at most all parts stores in small quantities and invest in a water bottle designed to put water or acid in batteries.  I ran my first set or Deep cycle Stowaway trolling motor batteries in my Skeeter Bass boat 9 trouble free years just by adding acid instead of water to them when low...........................jmho

It is very easy to check for a drain on battery when truck is not running. Turn off everything in truck. Take positive cable off battery and hook a simple 12 volt test light between positive battery cab;e and other end to positive post of battery. If it lights up you have a short or a drain somewhere in your electrical system. If you want to check further with the test light still hooked up just begin pulling fuses from fuse panel 1 at a time and see if any of them shut the light off. If one does that will give you an idea which circuit the problem is in. If the light stays on after all the fuses have been pulled then the issue will be either in your starter or your alternator because neither one of them are fused...............just kind of a simple test...................jmho

Back when my buddy Dave and I hunted small game such as rabbits we both wore Single action 22's in western style fast draw holsters with tie straps on our legs. I guess I may have been about 12 years old when I was finally good enough to actually carry it hunting. Began at 10 years old with a Colt SA with 5 inch barrel and probably shot a 1000 rounds through it by age 12 and my buddy Dave had a Ruger with a 6 inch barrel. For about 4 or 5 years we killed a lot of rabbits with them. Hunting over Beagles made it much easier. Rabbits would always in most cases make a big circle and run fast enough to get way ahead of the dogs and then they would stop and rest. That was when we got most of them with the pistols. We also had our shotguns for the running and jumping shots. That was one of the gun that got stolen when they burglarized our home in 86. I had that Colt a long time.
