Thanks for the input as I have researched it a little and it is like most all beliefs. It just depends on who's writings you read and it could go either way. I almost believe he felt he was going to Heaven in his last minutes because their was a peace about him and on his face like he no longer was in fear of dying but I still think about it from time to time.

I have a dog (Kasey) Plus no wife so bed never hardly ever gets made and I only sleep under one semi light blanket and while exiting the bed I already have my gun in one hand. I also sleep in a totally dark house which puts me at the advantage because I walk through it every night in the dark either going to let Kasey out if she needs out, to the kitchen for a bottle of water or rest room. The bad guy is either going to have to use a light of some type or turn one on and that will be when I end his or their career..................jmho

I really liked their old show much better and quit watching it when they went to the new story line with A&E. I liked it when they hunted a lot more................jmho

Lets face it. There has been battles over religion in one form or another since the beginning of time. Sometimes these battles actually have led to real bloody wars killing thousands of people. The last one took place on 9/11/2001 when a  group of Radical Islamic extremists flew planes into the twin towers, pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania while clutching the Koran in their hands and praying to Allah to have their Virgins ready for them when they arrived. In all honesty killing thousands of people just for a few Virgins as a reward. That my friends is just how crazy religions can get. So when someone raises a fuss about something said about another persons religious beliefs just go back to 9/11/2001 and remember just how far some religions will go to prove a point.  Then ask yourself how far are you willing to go to prove a point about your religion?.........................jmho

I really don't care either way about their spying game. Snowden did what he did because he was tired of being a snoop and thought folks should know it. Evidently the Federal courts feel the same way.  If it gives them pleasure fine. I don't have anything to hide and if I did I would not put it on a website, email, Text message, or talk about it on a phone. Wouldn't even put it in a snail mail letter. If I have something to say I will say it face to face to that person if it's that much of a secret.............jmho

Not a Glock guy but always willing to learn about new Guns coming out and never know when I might decide to buy one or at least shoot one to see if I might buy one........... :up:

Well, I think everyone has their own beliefs when it comes to religion and I can respect each and every one of them because I do believe that if I judge any one persons beliefs to be right or wrong I will also be judged. "Judge les ye be judged by the Lord God". That is why I will never be judgmental of anyone's beliefs. An experience I had while in Nam gave me the most clear sight of what my future should be. I was holding the hand of a wounded soldier knowing he was dying and also knowing he was a die-hard atheist. He looked at me and said, I am not going to make it am I? I would not lie to him and I said probably not, trying not to just be blunt. He then said something that caught me totally off guard. He said, I wish I could go to Heaven but I know I won't. I had to ask him cause I had to know. I said do you believe in Heaven and God. His words totally blew me away. He said yes and said I knew I could not live by his rules so I chose not to follow him. About 10 seconds later he died. Now I don't know about much and I won't say one way or the other but one quote in the bible immediately jump into my head.  It is  "He who believeth in me shall not parish but have ever lasting life" So since that day I have always wondered if that young Private would go to Heaven. He did believe in Heaven and he did believe in GOD but just declared himself an atheist just because he didn't live by GODS rules. I don't think I will ever forget that 15 or so minutes I got to spend with him. And I don't guess I will ever know the answer but I think about it from time to time when discussions like this come up.........jmho. 

I also have a lot of gay friends and they were also silent through the Chik filet ordeal and yep a few of my friends and I went along and we ate at the one here in Gallatin and they said nothing except they liked the sandwiches and we talked about their last bass tournament they fished. As far as I am concerned when it comes to political correctness, I am not sure just when all of that came about because my memory is not all that good any more but if anyone expects me to be politically correct I am sure their feelings are going to get hurt..............jmho

Jesus never addressed gays because his father did long before Jesus was born in Genesis 18:16-19:29. which discusses the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah....................So yes it does depend on which version of the Bible you read but in the original versions it is addressed..........not posting this as a reason of discrimination because I am not one that is a judge of others...........Just addressing an issue in a post............jmho

Well, I guess I will say that in this world are many different types of people who believes what they want to believe and that is their own business. If someone wants to say something that may be offensive to someone else I say let them say it. I also believe that if another is offended by it let them also speak out and say how they also feel. That is what this country is based on is the right for each person to effectively speak freely because our Constitution's 1st amendment gives each individual that right.  I fought for this country in our military to make sure that our rights as a free nation will continue and I would fight again if able to make sure it remains a free nation of the people by the people and for the people. Now as for A&E. They own that network and they have the right to remove or discontinue any show at any time on their network of their choosing. Do I think it will be good if they remove Duck Dynasty? Only time will tell that. As far as the Robertson's, They have chosen to remain a solid family and It looks like all the rest of the family will be standing by Phils statements which in turn gives me the utmost respect for the family. Blood is always thicker than water. I am quite sure they have already began receiving many offers from other networks requesting they come to their network so I am quite sure Duck Dynasty will prevail and A&E will be the losers................jmho

It may be a typo but their is no way on Gods green earth anyone can bore and stroke a 305 out to a 383 and still have any block left. Even if you bored a 305 out 120 thousandths which is the maximum it could be bored and still have any walls at all would be about  318 I use to race circle track cars and built all my own motors from scratch and if I punched out a  327 30 over it was a 331. If I punched out a 350 30 over it was a 356. If you go any more than 60 over your gonna make a blow pop out of your motor and I don't recommend anything over 30 for highway.and then you need to increase your radiator by at least 1 core to make sure it runs cold enough. Then you still may need to add an external tranny cooler. if the right person were to rebuild your 305 it could remain 305 and the HP could be pumped up by 18 to 25% just by putting the right parts in it with out any boring of the block.............jmho

Anything is possible for sure but the stuff don't glow in the dark so who knows.  I just know that what they use it for. One of them makes Jig fishing baits and the other one make bullets for his reloads.  The lead is so pure they both have to add wheel weights to it and create Babbitt lead in order to use it................. :dunno: :dunno:

  I know and messy too but was not expecting to see that at all.................... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Well, you sold me on one and I'm not even looking at buying a car............... :up:  I use to work at a Ford dealer back when I was a mechanic and I do know that there are certain times of each month you can walk into a dealership and not just Ford but any of them and if they are only a few units sold short of making a huge and I mean huge unit sold bonus from the Manufacturer they will almost take any deal they can get to just move the few cars needed for that bonus. They are like huge rebates to the dealers if they can move x amount of cars in a month. I worked for Town & Country Ford back when it was Connally Ford and they won a bonus every month for two years before they sold out. If folks knew when that bonus time was close they could get good deals every time. Thing is only the Car dealership owners know what time of the month it will begin and end and it's not every month in some areas of the country and every month in other areas. It was more like a game the Manufacturers used to pit dealers against dealers to sell more cars I think...................jmho

Well, then I'm confused but like I said, it's dangerous when I think but I know a guy that use to have a few large blocks of pure lead and he said he got them from a Radiology firm that replaces them in hospitals about every 90 - 180 days and when they put then in the bed of his truck they loaded three blocks on a pallet with  a tow-motor and when he got home he had to use a saw to cut it up in chunks he could pick up. He is the second person I have heard the almost same thing from. The other guy got his from a company that services Radiology units in hospitals also. That is all I know but I have been told the same thing from two different people that do not know each other................ :hiding: :hiding: :hiding:

I thought it was pretty cool. I have not been down Hwy109  this year at night but there normally is a light show on a farm down near 109 and 70 that makes the one in that video look like a beginner. Don't know if it's up this year or not but it was a family tradition for about 3 generations. I'm sure some of the folks that live around Mt. Juliet might speak up and say if it's lit this year. I do know if it is they will have police out there directing traffic.

I just spit a mouth full of JD and Ice chips all over my key board and monitor................ :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rock: :rock: :rock:

I bought a brick of 500 from one of our vendors here for about $25.00. I think it was $22.95 and tax or something like that. Met Dave and he's a great guy for sure. Got enough now that I can feel comfortable going to the range a little more........... :up: :up:

Why not look at some lights?   http://www.flixxy.com/best-christmas-lights-display.htm

Ok , I know it in dangerous when I try and think about things but here goes. They are trying to totally eradicate lead to be used in this country and are closing down the last of the smelting plants. I am wondering where all the hospitals are going to get the tons upon tons of almost pure lead they need monthly to operate their MRI machines. In most cases the tons of lead must be replace at least every 90 days because it becomes ineffective for what it is designed to do. Does this mean they won't be able to use MRI machines in hospitals any longer???............Just wondering......... :shrug: :shrug:

Did any of ya'll hear about those folks up in NJ that got car jacked right after leaving the mall and husband was killed and wife was not injured but they lost all gifts and his life. Found the car the next day empty of all gifts. Later in an interview with wife she said that the had purchased some rather expensive gifts while at the mall including a few diamond gifts from jewelry store in mall. It is very important while shopping this year cause there is a chance your being watched by bad folks in the malls to see what your buying and most likely targeting only those buying high end items for the car jacking's. Don't know what the man may have done other than refuse to give up the car and try to protect his wife but it got him killed.  I'm not sure what the carry laws are in NJ either but evidently the victim was unarmed. Just saying ya'll stay vigilant about your surrounding while shopping these last few days.......................jmho

A friend of mine sent me this in an email and as I read it this morning I realized how great a read it was and how it lifted me up while having my morning coffee. Hope ya'll enjoy it.   THE BACK NINE         I FIRST STARTED READING THIS EMAIL & WAS READING FAST UNTIL I REACHED THE THIRD SENTENCE. I STOPPED AND STARTED OVER READING SLOWER AND THINKING ABOUT EVERY WORD. THIS EMAIL IS VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING. MAKES YOU STOP AND THINK. READ SLOWLY!                   . . . AND THEN IT IS WINTER         You know ... time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.         But, here it is... the back nine of my life and it catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go?         I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that I was only on the first hole and the back nine was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.         But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting gray...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me...but, I see the great change...Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd become.         Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!         And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though Im on the back nine, and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth...it's over. A new adventure will begin! Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.         So, if you're not on the back nine yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether youre on the back nine or not!         You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!         "Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one. LIVE IT WELL! ENJOY TODAY! DO SOMETHING FUN! BE HAPPY ! HAVE A GREAT DAY Remember "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. LIVE HAPPY IN 2014!         LASTLY, CONSIDER THIS:         ~Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren are perfect!         ~Going out is good.. Coming home is better!         ~You forget names.... But it's OK because some people forgot they even knew you!!!         ~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything like golf.         ~The things you used to care to do, you aren't as interested in anymore, but you really do care that you aren't as interested.         ~You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV 'ON' than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep".         ~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch..         ~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"... ???         ~You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!!         ~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.         ~Everybody whispers.         ~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear.         ~~~But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!    Have Lived.         TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.     Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!" Send this on to other "Old Friends!" and let them laugh in AGREEMENT!!! It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You

Well, when you come in telling lies to get in office and you continue to lie all during your time in Office and then you begin to tell even bigger and more devastating lies to get a your legacy program in place I don't see how a person can expect his ratings to remain as high as when elected when everything you do goes against every thing you promised the people that elected you. I don't see Obama's ratings going anywhere but down farther as more and more leaks about how his administration operates and he does nothing to stop it. I didn't vote for him the first time or the second time because I could see through his fine speeches as nothing more than empty words. Just what can you expect from a 2 year Senator that only was in Washington 3 times in two years to vote on 3 bills which he voted no on all 3 when over 200 bills had been brought up during his two years and the rest of the time he spent as a community organizer which  he was not really good at either. Sorry folks, but to vote for a man that has exactly zero abilities to be the President and leader of the free world just because of the color of his skin to make history was stupid.................jmho

This is happening more and more. Networks like NBC are struggling these days because WE THE PEOPLE have finally began to have an impact on their bottom line and they are struggling to keep sponsors. MSNBC is what is actually killing NBC and if they would just shut that down it would raise their ratings. I mean when you have people like Al Sharpton as a contributor and commentator on MSNBC how could you have anything but bad ratings. The only time my TV goes to channel 4 here is on Sunday night for the football game...............jmho

  I know what you mean about moving a lot in our younger years. I moved often when I was young. I did do one thing this time if I have to move. I called a company called ALL MY SONS MOVING and they sent a guy out to give me a quote. They will come and pack me up and move me and place all furniture where I want it in new place for $900.00 which I though was reasonable so if I do have to move they will be doing it.
