  1. I spent most of my career working in fleets. I've seen and worked on just about every brand of pick-up made. Nothing holds up better than a Ford. GMC/Chevy is pretty good. Ram is a piece of junk. 💩

    Frankly, with all the government mandated emission garbage they're forced to hang on them, nobody has a good diesel anymore. None of them hold up well and cost a fortune to repair.  One look under the hood will scare the poop outta ya. 🙄

    If I was in the market for a good, hard working diesel truck, I'd look for an older Ford 350/450 with the 7.3 diesel engine. Even if you had to rebuild it from the ground up, you'd have a better truck than anything they sell these days. 

  2. They can't offer fair value because they have to resell at a profit. As mentioned, they also have overhead to consider. Generally, a FFL might give half of what they gun is actually worth. 

    No laws against sales between private citizens in Tennessee. People do it all the time. I would suggest that you and buyer fill out a bill of sale just in the rare case that questions might be asked.

  3. A couple more reasons I don't go to the theater much anymore. I can't have popcorn due to Diverticulitis and at my age, its hard to sit for 2 hours without needing to pee. Especially if I get a drink. 🥴

    The last several times we were in a theater, they were anything but crowded. I don’t see how they stay open.

    My local theater (20 screens)  has survived by being one of very few ( maybe the only one)  in the Memphis area to show Hindi/Bollywood movies along with some classics. Right now they have 3 Indian movies and "Coming Soon" they have The Never Ending Story, Rear Window and Blazing Saddles. Hey, whatever it takes to stay alive. 😉

  5. When I retired, I used to go quite often when something good came out. I usually enjoy the big screen experience. I'd go to the first show in the middle of the week. Rarely more than 5 or 6 of us there. 

    But frankly, the last few years there hasn't been much that I can't wait for it to stream.  Not a damned thing I'm willing to spend money on. 🙄

  6. For sci-fi fans. I caught this on Netflix (I think it was?)  Pretty good flick. Worth a watch. 

    Atlas:  Human looking robots get smart and decide to end humanity. War follows, humans win, but head bad guy escapes. 28 years later, he's found on another planet, building an army and planning a return. Marines in Mech Suits go after him. Decent story, lots of action. Jennifer Lopez stars.

    A .22 revolver is on my next to get list

    You won't do any better than a S&W .22 revolver. They come in several sizes from the small j-frame Model 34 to the larger K-frame Models 17 (6") and 18 (4"). All are outstanding guns. They ain't cheap, but worth every penny. 😍

    My personal favorite is the 4" Model 18 on the bottom left. I shoot this gun more than any other gun I own and mostly in DA mode. I give this gun full credit for teaching me how to shoot a DA revolver. 👍

  8. My first rifle came from Sears. Dad got it for me for Christmas when I was 12. Special Christmas package. Marlin Model 99M1 .22, scope and case. He never told me the price, but it was cheap. 😉

    I also remember Sears having around 30-40 rifles and shotguns in open racks on the display floor. Anybody could just walk over and pick one up to check it out.

  9. I've been thinking on this. Frankly, I wouldn't hold it against Joe if he did pardon Hunter. 

    If it was my son and I were in a position to help, I'd do it in a heartbeat and never apologize. Frankly, I don't respect a man who would put politics ahead of family.

  10. As I predicted, it ain't happening in Memphis. Not long ago the new Superintendent of Memphis City Schools, Marie Feagins, appeared with Police Chief Davis on one side and Sheriff Bonner on the other to publicly announce that teachers would NOT be carrying in MCS. 

    I have no doubt that the smaller city school systems in Shelby county will follow suit.
