    Had to steal that one; just too good.
  3. OS, you reminded me of a story. I will TRY to be as succinct as possible.   Back in 1957, two legendary musicians, Jimmy Day and Buddy Emmons, both steel guitar and bass players, got sick of bass players that couldn't play the right part. They decided to go in together and buy a brand new '57 Fender Precision bass, and each of them would play bass for the other. That way, they knew the part would be right.   They took it to Tootsie's bar, and set it on a table, admiring their joint purchase. They were drinking, and one says to the other, "I wonder which one of us is going to put the first ding in it?" They ponder that, and one of them takes his glass, and BOING, smacks the bass and says, "There! First ding." Well, the other, not wanting to be left out, did it, too.   By the end of a night of drinking and dinging, their brand new bass was basically a pile of matchsticks on the table at Tootsie's.
  4. Which, at the time of that being written, "regulated" meant trained. NOT what it means today.
  5. My heart continues to go out to Americans who share the same convictions I do in relation to the direction our nation is headed. However, always stay true to your heart's convictions and your eyes on the Lord. This situation that our generation has been faced with is far from hopeless. As the anti freedom agenda is forced through our own media in a desperate attempt to create an illusion of false victories designed to create separation and fear among the true patriots of our nation. Rather than adopting the mentality of defeat I encourage everyone to hold firm to the river of truth just as our fore fathers chose to. Furthermore, reflect upon the adversities that our ancestors faced during the revolutionary and civil war one war ushering in the very constitution that I and so many other American patriots, to include our congressional officials, swore an absolute oath to uphold and defend; the other almost tearing our very nation in two. As Americans our history is replete with uncertainty and seasons that demanded nothing short of the upmost bravery and resolve that any man or woman could have been thrust into. In all of this I compel each American who may read or share this to remember what it means to be truly free and that the road to freedom is far from simple. As I stated before, our ancestors sealed their fate when they chose to fight against the strongest standing army of their time. Were they fearful? Most certainly! How can we know this? We can know this because just as you and I they were of flesh and blood. However, they understood that not only their freedom was at stake but the generations to come. Which is why they willingly chose to risk all of what they knew and held dear to create a future that was even greater and established a government that began most assuredly with, “We the people”. As one of our early president’s stated so eloquently, “We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
  6. Notice the guy in front wearing the redcoat? We all would still be with idiots like this.
  7. Maybe. But the ones they are WINNING are the ones being plastered everywhere.
  8. Nothing yet. Gotta have a hand on one of these first.
  9. This may make me sell something.
  10. TAKE MY MONEY!!! NOW!!!!
  11. Nice article! This isn't the case, though:   "But all is not perfect in the land of foot stools and steamy baths. The TP-9 has one major flaw: a God-awful trigger. While it doesn’t exhibit any creep, it’s long and heavy as hell. My trigger scale tripped at 8.5 lbs."   Much better on this one; that's not even a close description.
  12. Not there today or tomorrow, but I wanna say it's like $435, maybe?
  13. So, the customer support is good. Good to know.
  14. Wow; I didn't see any of that. Thanks for the info.
  15. How was the resolution handled?
  16. ... will be better than 'shroomberg for NY?
  17. Trust me. Nothing closes up ONE hole like the hole in a wedding ring.   :(
  18. Well, let me know if you're ever down this way; you'd be more than welcome to give this one a test run!
  19. My wife has informed me we will be having an exciting evening at church.
  20. For trivia, when the system was first announced in the Tennessean, it was referred to as the "Tennessee Intelligent Transportation System."   Didn't take long for the name change to happen. Can you see why?  :rofl:
  21. What I don't understand on those signs is the number of deaths for LAST year that they show keeps rising. They keep bumping it to greater than this year. What's up with that? How do people keep dying LAST year??
  22. Been doing some looking into these. Have one in the shop. Reviews I have found are all good. Kind of like a Walther in the grip. 17 + 1 capacity. The interesting thing, to me, is the "pre-cock" (for lack of a better term) trigger. Once loaded, the trigger can be pulled back to the reset point and left there. It also has a decocker so you can return it to the full travel, if you wish.   Field stripped it (really easy!), and inside it looks really good and clean. Well made, no marks of any kind. Anyone here have one? Curious as to your thoughts on it.   Oh, it comes with two mags, and a Serpa style holster with a belt AND a paddle attachment! So, you don't have to try to hunt for a holster for it. It's good to go when you buy it.
  23. It's part of the software.
  24. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
  25. HP, JIm's just one of our regulars. The owner is Ken Winter. He's never there on weekends. You'll have to come by on a weekday to meet him. He's a great guy, too.   I didn't know you wanted a drink; I'd have pulled a sody pop outta the fridge for ya!
