  I'd give your son my business if I was close, but I'd be looking to get this fixed in the Murfreesboro/Smyrna area.

  Replaced?  Umm...unless that comes with an oil change, I'll guess never.  It's a 2002 Ford Ranger, and I'm closing on 80,000 miles if that helps assess the situation.   So, at a decent repair shop, I'm looking at what, $120-$150?

  My SD3G came in last night.  Snagged it from Primary Arms for $182, which made me a happy boy!

  I've been telling people that for a while now.

Since I'm not a car guy at all, I was hoping some of you can help me out here.    My truck has some kind of squealing for lack of a better word every time it rains.  No idea what it is, what needs to be done, or how much it's going to cost me.  Any input would be appreciated.

So, what did I miss?  Aside from the word terrorism being misused and overused as per usual.

Beat it up at the range, use CLP to wipe down the exterior after.  Repeat many, many times, and any lower will be smooth as your face after shaving for the first time in a week.

The same logic behind the miniscule stats representing a problem needing solved were used in the push for voter ID.

  Yeah, it's more a rough idea than anything.   Do you think a single TICS background check transaction/confirmation code could be used on multiple 4473 forms if the person makes multiple purchases at the show?

I know this idea will be a non-starter for the group here, but there is a fix for this that can keep the gun shows, and take away the liberal talking point of a "loophole" being present.    TBI checks are $10.  Whoever is responsible for putting on the gun show has to have an FFL, and say five computers to run checks on people who want to purchase a firearm at the show where they can charge the $10 there, or more if they want to recoup costs.  See a gun you like, agree to buy it, then go to a counter near the front, get your check, and have a confirmation number that can be put on block 21b of the 4473, and that gun, and any others you buy at the show can be on the same 4473.    Not saying I'd advocate it or want it mandated, but I'm a big fan of taking an opponents gripe and proposing a solution they can't talk around.

If gun shows had anything worth going for, I'd be upset about this.  But as it stands, this is like getting upset that banks have less people working as tellers when the ATM works just fine.

Rain is annoying, but whatever.  I'm not in the Army anymore, so I can use an umbrella.  I wish it was snow though.  Then I could get the entertainment of people losing their minds. 

Sad that on the surface ISIS has more gun freedom that we do, huh?

  Same here.  I even kept one I picked up in my truck with a bandoleer of mags during the invasion until my wad of a platoon sergeant told me to get rid of it a few months later.  Apparently my reasoning that it would have been good backup if the SAW ever went down or ran out of ammo wasn't good enough for him.  I'm guessing it's still at the bottom of the Tigris where I chucked it.

  I've had some kind of credit monitoring since I left the Army, but I knew that information was as secure as the lowest bidder could make it.    The fingerprints aren't a big deal.  Best guess, the Chinese want to have them for their own databases to be able to check for our spies in their country.

  My ex-GF is a VA nurse and got a letter as well.  Let's just say she's less than thrilled about her kids info being out there for someone to exploit.   I tried to explain to her that there are 21 million people in the same boat, and that the most likely intent was to find info that can be used to blackmail people with access to classified material, which isn't her.  Needless to say that didn't calm her down much.   

  Hey, I've had a Browns WR score fifty-some points before.  Josh Gordon was on my roster a few years ago when he was awesome like that and those 50 points won me a game...so it could happen.   But yeah, I don't know what happened this week.  Hopkins and Julio Jones both having slow weeks was an anomaly and Witten hasn't connected with Romo now that he's back like he used to.  Not exactly the momentum I want to carry into the playoffs, but if they have to have bad weeks, let it be now and not later.

Exactly. Can't have people thinking my impending title isn't 100% legit.

I saw that we had no trade deadline, so I put one in retroactive to last Thursday. Not like we traded much, but wanted to cut it off with the playoffs starting next week.

  How about $389.99 before shipping without a mount... http://www.primaryarms.com/trijicon-mro-2-moa-adjustable-red-dot-matte/p/kt-mro-c-2200003/?kc=HOLIDAY&utm_source=bronto&utm_medium=email&utm_content=SLOT_8&utm_campaign=15-12-Ad6_Cyber_Monday&_bta_tid=3.cFU.CLN2bQ.Ej74.Ar0-xw..A3vqWA.b..l.BStr.n...ndrtvA

  Might get banned if I put up my true feelings expressed in an avatar...lol.

Is this like how they (and Republicans) claimed that encryption was to blame for planning the attacks?

When did ESPN get a political bend?  I must have missed that.   As to the financial aspect of it, ESPN's losing money from cord cutters, but they are also losing money because they spend like drunken sailors at a port of call.  Almost $2 billion a year for Monday Night Football, which has had some really average at best games lately.  Case in point, this weeks match-up between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens.  I don't even know how that looked good when the schedule was made, let alone now that both teams are in the bottom of the heap.  They need some serious belt tightening, and I'd start by reducing the amount of on air "analysts" by no less than 50%.  They have way too many talking heads on their air.  Also, the $125 million revamp of the SportsCenter set was an absurdity. 

There's also a bit of culture difference between the two countries.

  This one that Primary Arms also had on sale? http://www.primaryarms.com/geissele-hi-speed-national-match-designated-marksman-rifle-dmr-small-pin/p/gaths-dmr/   Seems Geissele's are on sale at a lot of places.  I was able to pick up a SD3G from PA for only $182...I was stoked.  Spent the savings on a Raptor charging handle also on sale.
