Well if most seniors like myself did al or most all of their shopping on that 1 Wednesday a month which mean't they would get most everything for a month. But you can't buy fresh veggies and expect them to last  a  month. There are things you still have to buy during the month. If you buy them on a Wednesday you get 5% on that Wednesday. Then if you go on the next Wednesday and buy more things you normally buy during the month that is twice you have saved 5 % and if you do that say 4 times a month 4 times you have saved 5% and 4 times 5 = 20 where as when you tried to do all your shopping on that 1 Wednesday for 10% you still needed to go back to the store a few more times a month anyway so do it on Wednesday and save another 5%. I know it probably doens not make a lot of sense but it does for me.............. :rock: :rock:

I just got up a little while ago. I sat up till 1AM watching all the carnage in Arkansas and Missouri and noticed that all the really bad weather yesterday and last night tracked up the Mississippi River Valley and went through Paducah KY north east direction. I see right now weather channel is calling for heavy thunderstorms today but not severe yet. Flash flood watch out.

I didn't figure it would take long for that officer to be gone. Way to much bad Press to keep him on board. Yep a shame to be a 22 year veteran and send it down the drain for a mistake that was more than evident. Everyone including p the police need to realize nothing happens this day in time in public that someone is not going to have pictures of and they say a picture is worth a 1000 words..............jmho

I got one of those NOAA radios I will give you. I have had it to three different places to get it programed and no one can seem to get it programmed for Gallatin. If a tornado warning is in Clarksville, Dickson, Ashland City etc etc It will wake me up and warn me but we have had 3 major storms come through Gallatin and it does not make a sound. Maybe you can find someone that can program it to work in your area............... :up:

Yep OS. It is a real issue around here if a baton is used above the upper chest. Arms, legs body torso, go for it!! Neck up off limits under any conditions. A police officer around here has more authority to use their gun than their batons in a the case of  self defense or lethal force.   They are even looking at removing tazers from the police around here because their have been several deaths from them in Nashville. I think around here you can only hit them with tazer two times before it is declared excessive force.

:panic: They are talking right now on weather channel about tornado's hitting all over Arkansas and Missouri. They have mentioned at least 8 or 10 that have touched down in those two states already.............. :hiding: Jeep is definitely going inside for what good it will do in tornado but might protect it from the softball size hail they are also talking about. They just said one was on ground almost 45 minutes and the debris signature is so big it is showing up on radar...... :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

Yep, Deputy was a lot nicer than I would have been if I have a guy with a knife trying to cut me and I have a gun on my hip that bad guy will be needing an ambulance or a coroner from gun shot wounds...........jmho

i don't have any idea what the rules are for Knox County Sheriff Office or the Knox city Police rules and regulations are but I do know that in the Sumner County Sheriffs Office and Gallatin City Police are ordered to never put their hands on the throat of anyone either in custody or in the process of being arrested. Any and all persons throats are totally off limits. If you are caught with your hands on a persons throat while under arrest or in process of being arrested you can expect a long unpaid vacation and maybe even dismissed or fired. I will see if I can find the story about the reason for this regulation being put in place. It''s been about 7 or 8 years ago but it had to do with the choking death of a female that was being placed under arrest and an officer applied a strangle hold on her and she died after being placed in back seat of squad car. The autopsy conclusion was death by strangulation. Her family sued and won a mega amount of money from the City of Hendersonville in Sumner county where the arrest took place and Sumner County because a sheriffs car was on the scene  and  didn't even assist. Following that decision by the court the Gallatin City Police adapted the policy as well as Sumner County Sheriff and Hendersonville P.D. Don't know if it has changed any but last I heard it was still in effect.

They are really talking serious about these next two days of severe weather headed our way on Monday and Tuesday. It's raining here in Gallatin right now. Guess I better maybe put the Jeep inside because they are talking some large hail with these things. Ya'll take care and keep up with whats headed your way.........gonna.... :hiding: :hiding: next 2 days for sure..............jmho

They did quit doing the 10% on 1st Wednesday which I thought kinda sucked but living of fixed income and monthly check did not fall so I could take advantage every month till I learned that they now give 5% every Wednesday to Seniors. If you shop 4 times a month and not do all your shopping on one day and shop 4 times a month your really getting 20% off a month. I have learned to shop 4 times a month and buy select things I need on each trip. A lot easier to keep fresh veggies in the house by shopping 4 times a month too. Not good if you have to drive far but I am about 3 minutes from Kroger so gives me a reason to get out more and I can still rack up fuel points and if I am close to my 1$ or 2$ off I will fill in with gift cards. I don't know how many folks have been doing this but you can get up to 35 gallons per purchase on fuel points per month. My Jeep holds 18 gallons when on empty so I have five 5 gallon cans I take with me and I fill the Jeep up and then finish getting my 35 gallons by filling gas cans. By doing that I have enough gas for the whole month or might use some in my bass boat to go fishing and lawn mowers.. I make sure I get my moneys worth when ever possible................jmho

If I buy a Bogus card it will be from Kroger and you can bet me and Kroger will have words.

I will have to agree with you on that TDR. If your a gun enthusiast which I assure many LEO's are it has to be a hard thing to watch some really great weapons going into the furnace or band saws to be destroyed..............jmho

In all honesty I really don't have any respect for Red Jacket Program. I have watched the show many times and there seems to not be any harmony within the operation. There is always issues with someone about something. Not saying they don't do good work but just the atmosphere of the show is a turn off for me................jmho

Gift cards are as good as cash in many cases. When I need to build up my gas points at Kroger I will buy several cards to be used at places like Logan's or Cracker barrel. I get double fuel points depending on the amount and then sometimes down the road I will use the cards to eat out with friends. i have even bought Lowes cards a few times because I have a few buddies that do remodeling jobs and they will buy them from me because they are going to have to buy stuff at Lowes anyway to do the work. All, help me build fuel points and with gasoline prices going up everyday the 50 and sometimes up to a dollar off a gallon can really help....jmho

I'm by no means a bike mechanic but worked on cars 35 years and if bikes are similar in wiring operations there has to be a 40-60 amp power source relay some place that powers up almost everything. Most cars had accessory relay that served that purpose. Sounds like you have a main power source relay issue because it reacts soon as you turn the key on just like the one in a car does. It feeds power to everything required to operate any and all accessories and will actually have an effect on the starting system. If you don't have any luck and you can trailer the bike to Gallatin I have a buddy that has 3 Harley's and he works on his own and does all his own repairs after warranty is out on them. I can ask him for his help on this if need be. Let me know in a PM if you want me to talk to him about helping................ :up: :up:

Evidently it was not advertised very well if no one from this site knew about it till yesterday. I think we have quite a few members here from down around the boro and you would think someone would have spoke up. Maybe it's a bunch of cops just out to collect guns for their own personal collection so when they happen to shoot an unarmed bad guy they have a plant gun to make it a good shoot. Now for those of you LEO's that are here I am not saying anything against y'all LEO's. I just know it does happen cause I had two brothers on the force years ago and I heard them talk about it happening. Back years ago many LEO's carried Switch blade pocket knives to do the same things with so it was handled as a self defense issue................Now with that said I do have the utmost respect for good Cops and this day in time more than back years ago because back years ago you didn't have to wear Kevlar to patrol the streets and you didn't deal with so many gangs as there are today. You guys have a tough job and I know I would not want to be an officer these days and admire those who do and do it right...............jmho

Before I lost my wife in 97 I never missed opening a door of any kind, house, car, store. She was my second wife but the love of my life. I miss her everyday. My first wife and the mother of my two boys is still alive but I have not seen her since she walked out on me and my 2 sons in 1987 while our oldest son was in a coma in St Thomas Hospital from an auto accident. She had some young man show her a little attention and she bailed on us. I have always said what goes around comes around and most times it does. But thats another story for another time......................jmho

Thanks LB. I was taught to respect my elders and anyone else's elders and anyone else for that fact. I was taught it in school and you can bet I was taught it at home. It was Yes ma'am or no ma"am and yes sir or no sir or a back hand across the mouth from my mother or trip to wood shed by my father. i raise my sons the same way but I was also aware of the fact that my Sons would not be as hard on their children and I was surprised that my youngest son began requesting respect and manners from his boys and when he didn't get it he demanded it or there was Hell to pay in his home like we had growing up. He got respect from his boys that are now grown.  Made me proud of him for standing his ground........... :up:

They don't comprehend periods of time you are away from them but they can learn times by routines as part of nature. Routines are a thing that they learn by being taught. I was the one that began feeding Kasey every evening at 4 Pm so she learned that. I always tried to put her to bed at 9Pm and she learned that by being taught. Same thing with waking me up in the morning. I use to set my clock to wake me up at 7:45 AM and first thing I would do was let her out and then get my morning coffee so she was taught that I get up at that time and it becomes a routine.

Don't ever underestimate how smart dogs are. I can set my clocks by things Kasey knows to do. If she is out doors and it reaches 4Pm she comes to the door and scratches telling me it's her supper time. If she is out doors and going to sleep in her house outside she will be at the door at 9PM sharp to get her nite nite snacks and when she sees me reach for the snack bags she goes in her house and i put them inside it for her If it's cold and she is inside at 4Pm she comes and puts her paws in my lap to get her supper and then at nite nite time again at 9 Pm it's paws on the lap and when I reach for the snack bags she goes and gets in her bed and I put the snacks in the bed with her.. If she is inside and it's time to go out her paws land firmly on the edge of my bed mattress and I see her smiling face at or very close to 8AM telling me it's time to get up and let her out to do business. Spoiled , very much so,  smart?  All my friends say she has e trained quite well so yea, shes smart but she is my best friend and she knows it................... :up:  :up:  

Yea, I know Cronkite did discuss the war but back then I think it was called a conflict and all the films that Cronkite showed were all edited by the military at Pentagon and then given back to him to show on 5:30 news.

It is not taught at all in the liberal school systems we have today and it is not taught in any home of any liberal socialist family but you can bet it is taught in the homes of real Americans with real values and real morals and yea there are guns in their homes too...........jmho

It would depend of where I was hiking mainly. Since I have not been on a hiking trail in about 20 years and don't see one in the near future, if I were to be able to hike and camp I would have a Taurus 444 Raging Bull 44 mag and about 3 speed loaders if I were in the east part of the state and in middle or western part probably my standard Bersa Thunder 380 with back up magazines and maybe my Marlin 22 WMR with back up magazines for camping.

Oh I don't know how hard they will be to kill. I have an old 10 gauge double barrel that I use to goose hunt with back many moons ago and I have some 3 1/2 inch Magnum no#4 shot rounds that use to knock geese out of the sky at 80 to 100 yards up and use to shoot skeet so may be a good test................. :rock:  :rock:
