I don't know but I have always had an issue that is worded with both the words   Good and cheap in same sentence.  I realize that many folks use it and I have often wondered how it can really work out to be Good and cheap. My preference if I were looking for an item I would prefer it to be  good while also inexpensive. Not picking on you for this RC3 because I have seen the same request many times made by others. Just thought I would see what folks thoughts were on the Good and Cheap would mean to them............. :ugh: :ugh:

I agree with chances R and  over the years I have had people ask me if I could or would actually shoot another human being?  I sometimes won't answer and other times depending on who is asking the question I will answer. In most cases it is someone that knows I have an HCP but does not know me all that well and don't know my history. As far as killing another human being. I spent 4.5 years in Vietnam so killing a human being was almost a way of life depending on your circumstances. Mine called for and required it if I wanted to come home and not in a pine box. When I tell a person that killing a human being is not something anyone that is just not an evil person never chooses to take another persons life. During my life as a military person in a war zone did not have much choice. I can still remember the first person I killed like it was yesterday. I can remember killing the last person I killed like it was yesterday also. Would I kill again? Not unless I had no other option but yes I would if I had to. Everyday when I wake up I hope and Pray that i have another uneventful day of not needing to use a firearm. I think everyone here that has been in the military and served in a live action war zone can relate to what i am saying. This may be a little off topic but I think it fits a little.............jmho

I didn't watch the video because I wanted to save those 2.5 minutes for something that might be important. I love that Tv commercial from that pistachio nut company where the little Korean leader blows up Rodman. I figure if Rodman keeps playing with fire he is going to get burned and it couldn't happen to a better person........................jmho

you beat me to it BigK.   Not only who would wear it but who would make it?  I think some of that story may be exaggerated because they added blunt force trauma to the charges but I closed my eyes and tried to picture a weggie from my butt around my head and it sounds virtually and impossible feat without underwear tearing at some point but I could be wrong.................jmho  

Just my :2cents: but all cars equip with fuel injection has a cold run injector that introduces extra fuel into the engine for a couple reasons 1st being it supplies the engine with the required amount of fuel for cold starts and also aids in supplying the engine with enough fuel to get it through the cold run cycle at a normal rate according to engine requirements. On extremely cold days that cold run injector will continue to produce extra fuel longer than in normal temperatures and once the motor warms up it is suppose to discontinue operation. Yours may be working beyond the point of a warm engine which in turn will cause dark gray smoke from unburnt fuel in the exhaust. The fact that the noise is louder than normal could be as several have mentioned above and you could  have a cracked manifold. I went through that a few years back on my jeep during some really cold weather. I was driving it after it had warmed up and it had began to rain and I hit a puddle of water and almost instantly the Jeep exhaust got louder signaling a cracked manifold. Son removed it and used nickel welding rods to seal the exhaust back closed. I didn't have a warranty due to age of Jeep. If I had a warranty I would have had it back the the dealership the next day. That is what warranties are for...............jmho

I don't know , but I look at things a little different than most but having my father wave good bye to me each morning would have made me feel good because I knew he loved me and one never knows when that might be the last time they see each other. That is why I had a policy in our home when my boys were growing up. It was no one ever went to bed mad at one another about anything. If their was an argument of disagreement about something it was always settled before anyone went to bed. I always saw both my boys off to school but they didn't ride the bus. I dropped them off at school before going to work.................jmho

I'm sure there are many privately own properties that are large enough to allow a gun show to be held that will be stepping up to the plate and they will be the ones that profit from holding the shows that the county will be losing..............jmho

I would never support any cuts in any budget that effects our troops. Now with that said, I would support a budget that, Cuts all salaries of all Congress men and women by 15% across the board, I would support any budget cuts that cut 15%  to all Senators, across the board, I would support a budget that cuts of 15% the salaries of any and all aids to each one of the people listed above. I would support a budget cut to any and all free world contractors of 15%. I would support a budget cut of 25% to any and all lobbyists actively working inside Washington DC for elected offices. I would support a 15% cut in the budget of the Secret Service across the board. I would support a 50% cut in the budget of Air force 1 and 2 usage. I would support a budget cut of 25% for all the aids to the First Lady since for some reason she thinks she needs about 1000% more aids than any other first lady in Presidential history. I would support a budget cut of 25% for the people caring for the Presidents two mutts. I support closing down Camp David completely. Now just to recap anyone or anything I know I may have missed. Lets make it easy and cut every budget pertaining to any thing I know I missed by 25% that pertains to anything even remotely connected to the services of any operation in Washington DC that is in any way remotely connected to any one elected by the people and anyone connected to them. If they feel they can cut the salaries of the most important part of our Government which is our Military Then it is only fair that We the People introduce out own budget package. If it was not for our Great Military and the people in it all of those elected officials would not have a job because this Great Nation would not exist.............Some one mentioned that President Obama should ahve not signed that bill until the Military part was removed. That fact that the part about cutting the Military salaries was in their was the main reason he was thrilled to sign it because Obama hates our Soldiers and has not tried to hide that fact by his actions towards them................jmho

The Tooth Brush Salesman >>> >>>The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all very excited. >>> >>>Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on salesmanship. >>> >>>Little Sally led off. "I sold Girl Scout cookies and I made $30" she >>>said proudly. "My sales approach was to appeal  to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success." "Very good", said the teacher. >>> >>>Little Debbie was next. "I sold magazines" she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events." >>>"Very good, Debbie",said the teacher. >>> >>>Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467", he said. >>> >>>"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?" >>>"Toothbrushes", said Little Johnny. >>> >>>"Toothbrushes", echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell >>>enough tooth brushes to make so much money?" >>> >>>"I found the busiest corner in town", said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand and I gave everybody who walked by a free sample." >>> >>>"They all said the same thing, ‘Hey, this tastes like dog poop’!" >>> >>>"Then I  would say, ‘It is dog poop. Wanna buy a toothbrush?’ I used >>>the President Obama method of giving you some crap, dressing it up so it looks good, telling you it's free and then making you pay to get the bad taste out of your mouth." >>> >>>Little Johnny got five stars for his assignment. >>> >>>Bless his heart! >>>

I can't believe I actually watched that whole thing....................... :rofl: :rock: :rock:

Sounds like something Hillary would say!!!!   Like that great remark she made during the Benghazi hearings when she said  "What difference does it make now?"  I'm sure the families that lost Loved ones that night it meant quite a bit............jmho

Back years ago I worked in the penal system and a correctional officer. I remember when going to prison meant while you were there doing your time you worked at some type of job. You didn't lay in your air conditioned cell and watch cable TV. You got up and fed by 7AM and then you reported to your respective work assignment. Prisons for the most part were self sustaining requiring a lot less taxpayer dollars to sustain them. They grew about 90% of their own food on prison farms. They operated their own dairy farms to produce all their dairy needs. They operated coal fed power houses that produced their own power. They had textile mills in prisons that produced all the linens, blankets and towels needed to operate the prisons. They had a bakery that made all their own bread for their meals from grains grown on the farms and meal and flour was made by inmates operating mills to make it. Back in the late 70's the Supreme Court declared that inmates could no longer be made to work as just being in prison was their punishment. Now everything is delivered to the prisons from out side businesses and it is all paid for with taxpayer dollars. Even electricity is supplied from out side sources. The farms were all closed, Textile mills shut down and power houses sent dormant. Hell, they have made life so nice for the criminals that many of them look forward to going back because life is better inside than out side and if an inmate does work in prison now they are paid for their labor................jmho

Gosh I have never hunted squirrel with anything except a 22 rifle. Grew up using one and until I quit hunting back years ago I was still using one. Use to make both my boys mad but it was funny for first couple trips and then they didn't think it was funny any more and they refused to go with me if they we going squirrel hunting. One of the used a 12 gauge and the other a 20 gauge. We would get in the woods and spread out. I would just sit down by a big tree where I could see both of them. When I would see one get up and begin to stalk a squirrel I would locate the critter and just before he would shoot it I would shoot it and it would fall near him. He would just turn and if looks could kill I would have been dead about 30 times we hunted together. They refused to hunt squirrels with me once the leaves got off the trees but it was fun. My eye sight effected me as I got older plus I was not as steady as when I was younger so rather than have to go the shotgun route I just quit hunting them...................... :up:  :up: 

I know several guys that killed a full limit of what they were allowed to harvest with no problems. Then I know a few other guys I spoke with that said they lost their land that they had hunted for years do to new construction and rezoning laws making it illegal to hunt those areas. Also I know several guys that hunted farms for years that lost their hunting locations because the farmers leased the land out to hunting clubs and closed the land to anyone not in the clubs. More and more larger farms have began leasing hunting privileges and making big bucks by leasing it. So actually I think the loss of areas for folks to hunt have had an impact on how many deer are taken. Also one other factor I have learned is there are less deer processors out there than there was say 4 years ago.  I know four guys that use to process deer and had done it for years. Because of costs of materials needed to process deer such as wrapping paper and cost of operation of coolers and freezers driving up the cost folks just quite paying the higher prices to get the deer processed. The shortage of processors makes it a deterrent for a hunter to go out and harvest a deer knowing they have to pay 65.00 to 75.00 dollars to get one processed. I think more and more deer hunters are doing their own and realizing how much work is involved ad how much it costs is also causing the lower harvests. I know my buddy that has limited out this year along with his wife limiting out said that he takes all his deer to the Mi-nites(spelling) and they process them for him but he shares a lot of the meat with them along with paying them. Most of his deer goes into deer jerky, deer burger and they make a killer deer summer sausage which he shares a few sticks of the sausage with me each year. Over all I think like I said above. There are several reasons for lower harvesting numbers...................jmho  

I have what I would say is a good supply of 22lr ammo and I totally refuse to buy from scalpers so I don't plink as much as I use to but I will shoot a little at the range with my pistols about once a month and what I shoot I can normally replace in real stores and not scalpers. I hope the day comes when all the scalpers get stuck sitting on car loads or 22lr's and almost have to give them away to get rid of them and in the end lose all the profits they made gorging people who bought from them............jmho

Well after reading all the posts I will add my :2cents:  and make it short and sweet.  I would vote for a Carson/West ticket or a West/Carson Ticket. Either way one thing has to take place. This time they must at all costs make 100% sure that all of the entire Military gets to vote this time as their votes were not counted in last election and Obama made sure of that. He made sure that all the Troops out of country did not get their absentee ballots in time to get them counted because had they got counted he would have lost and he knew it. The troops hate him. On the other hand all of the Troops Love West and all have the utmost respect for the man as I do. If he is on the ticket either for President or Vice President that ticket will get the military vote and my vote.....................jmho

Magpul went to or are going to go to Texas last I heard. I guess that is still their plans?

I guess I am a good boyscout. I stay prepared. have a refrigerator in house and another in carport with padlocks on it Plus freezer in out building also with pad locks. Jeep is full of gas plus have 25 gallons stored. 3 Grill tanks and a Propane heater is power goes out. I have back up batteries for everything. I have propane lanterns with a dozen back up bottles for both of them plus extra mantles. I have Coleman cook stove for power outages and an old style coffee pot that perks on Coleman if need be. Have a great stock of food for SHTF conditions and have back up eggs and milk in carport refer. Did go out and walk Kasey around yard this morning. She did her business while I about froze and she wanted to stay out and I made her come back in.  So all in all I guess being a good boyscout works out ok..........................jmho 

Well, if the United Nations and the United States would keep their noses out of other peoples business Afghanistan would have belonged to the Russians back in the 70's and they could have been the ones dealing with that rock of stone age savages but No, Our Government has to stick their nose where it does not belong and they send arms and ammo and even sent in advisers on how to use the weapons most effectively so they can defeat the Russians and drive them out. Osama Bin Laden was one the the leaders of the guerrillas fighting against the Russians and was one of the ones trained on how to win it. he sent us his thanks twice. Once in 1993 in the World Trade center bombing and then the 2nd thank you message on 9/11/2001. That is how they appreciate help sent to them. All of those sand and stone countries are still living in the stone age and are a total waste of good air they breath. I would not have 1 issue with sending them a reply of about 25 nicely strategically  placed nukes to say thanks for 9/11/2001..........jmho

Gosh I struggle to keep my squirrels and birds fed but I make sure they have food in feeders all winter. Filled all of them last evening before the cold nasty weather showed up and they we all on the feeders this morning and I have enjoyed just watching them feed. That is the most deer in have seen in one location in many years. Must be a no hunting area and judging from the house off in the distance looks like may be a money area and home owners are not hunters and won't allow it. I bet they have a problem keeping shrubs around their homes and I bet you can forget having a garden............jmho

We at the soopermexy blog tried to raise the millions of dollars it would take to run our 3 minute commercial during the Super Bowl, and we did manage to raise quite a sum. But we just ordered a bunch a tacos with it. Sorry. Anyway! Here’s the commercial: http://www.soopermexican.com/2013/02/07/the-superbowl-commercial-you-missed-so-god-made-a-liberal/

Crow Facts   Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.   However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analyzing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.   MTA then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.   He very quickly concluded the cause: When crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "Truck."  

I realize that what they did in Colorado didn't get the laws changed but they got rid of the law makers and at least that may get the liberals thinking and realizing that it will be harder to get elected in that state now and get other state liberals a message that is they do anything that stupid they might or could get recalled or fired by We the People so if they get elected and want to keep their jobs they will steer clear of gun laws. I figure you have to begin somewhere and they began in Colorado............jmho

When the state of Colorado's elected officials over stepped their authority and wrote laws that were deemed unconstitutional the people of Colorado  took a non violent legal stance through the proper channels and recalled those law makers and removed them. That is what should have been done in CT but instead they bowed down to them and kiss their elected butts..................jmho

Why do I have a feeling he did not vote for Obama?.......................jmho
