I don't always take care of myself, healthwise that is as far as eating and watching my weight and I also smoke but at 52 when most people are taking some kind of medication i've avoided it until now, no blood pressure meds or chloresterol meds or anything like that, good geans I guess. Well Sunday I had to go to the VA ER with Un-Godly nauesa and sharp stomach and abdomen pains, they took a contrast CAT scan then put me in the hospitol for 2 days for tests. It started as some viral infection of the upper intestines which caused swelling, that's over but I also have good ol bleeding peptic ulcers in my upper intestines. It's not making me weak or lowering my BP so I guess I can heal them at home, right now I have to take Prilosec but i'll see Monday when I go to see my primary care doc if I have to take anything else. I don't know how I got them, I don't drink at all but I do drink coffee, smoke, and eat late alot of times, I guess it's time for some diet and habit changes. As far as a misery index goes, I would much rather deal with an orthopedic injury/pain than internal stomach/intestine pain naseua sickly never ending feeling.

  I would still like a combo that folded up like that. .22mag and 20ga, .357mag and 20 or 12ga. .450 Marlin and 10ga.(Africa survival gun)  :)

  Like the ones on Star Trek? Actually I would rather have the phase pistol, both have stun and vaporize settings, i'm assuming the rifle is more accurate and has a longer range though. I wouldn't use the stun setting, you know, legal issues and lawsuits from whoever you stunned. Vaporizing leaves no evidence.

  I like the Galco pancake holster, i've been carrying my Ruger SP 101 most of the time now and the holster has loosened up somewhat but what I have been doing is instead of feeding my belt behind the holster, I feed it over the front and that makes for a tight fit. I guess you could call that a inside the belt holster now. I still couldn't get used to wearing it inside my pants though.

I can't carry IWB, at least not without my handgun digging into my spare tire. When I first started carrying I wore a shoulder rig for a while but getting a fast draw from a button up shirt is slow. Now if I really needed a fast draw I planed to loose the buttons but I believe access to my gun on my right side hip is the fastest, and most comfortable.

  Little Badger, I just looked it up. Man that simple little single has some quality hardware on it like the adjustable peep sight, picitinny rails, threaded barrel etc.

Hey, that looks pretty cool. I like strange guns like that, looks like a fun plinker.

Well I found something I want and sombody already makes it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47VWDsQeGYw

  Me and my brother used to float(Jon boat of course), from I-40 bridge to bridge in Kingston Springs, set limb lines out at midnight then check them at sunrise. We would usually catch between 15 and 25 catfish. That was the good ol days, now the Harpeth if full of canooing tourists.

I always carry OWB winter and summer, the only change I make is in the summer I wear a short sleve, thinner cover shirt.

  years ago this guy I worked with kept telling me there were no water moccisens(cottenmouths) this far north, really? I lived in this area my whole life, grew up floating, swimming in the Harpeth river and one snake I learned to recognize is a cottenmouth and learned to keep my distance from them if I could. Cottenmouths are one of the few snakes that will stand their ground if not actually come after you to run you out of their territory. Don't know where he heard there are no water moccisens in Middle Tennessee.

This bird was brownish/grey, had the mohawk, slender and ran like a pointed spear. I swear it was a road runner. I read where a few have been seen in extream West TN., seems they have a problem crossing the Mississippi River.

Is there any kind of a "Road Runner" type bird in Tennessee? I've seen them on TV and pictures but yesterday a bird about the size of a blue jay ran across the road in front of me and i'll swear to this day it was some type of miniture road runner. Tail, build,brownish, fastest running bird i've ever seen. We now have armadillos in Tennessee, why not road runners?

These Just Right carbines are in line with what I would like someday. I wouldn't want that New York compliant THANG though, I guess there's a money market for it. http://www.justrightcarbines.com/

  http://dragunov.net/magazines.html   This site explains how they make mags for 7.62x54R.   Here's another about double stack mags for rimmed cartridges.   http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/01/jeremy-s/double-stack-magazine-rimmed-cartridges/

  I wont post the same link this time.  :)   I often wondered, we can carry in New Hampshier and Vermont but how in the heck are we supposed to get our gun there. I wouldn't drive through any of those New England states no matter what with any firearm even locked in a case. I'll re-phrase that, I wouldn't drive through any of those New England states peroid.

I've wondered that about rimmed cartridges, I would like to see a mag from an SVD or Tokarev to see what the Ruskies did to stack 7.62x54. Of course I don't think they are high cap. Edit: There are 20 rounders for the SVD's

I'm better with scematics. You ought to sketch that out though, you never know, i'm sure designers are always looking for improvments. I'm thinking this would be a self-regulating gas system that would handle cartridges of different pressures without manually regulating it?

I like to do alot of cooking but as far as biscuits go i'm lazy. The most I will go in making homemade is Bisquick and water. Not a bad biscuit though. Now cornbread is a different story, i'll work on that a little. BTW, Monday Publix is getting their busted tube of biscuits back, they should really be stale and nasty then.

  I know what your saying, I think. More like an SKS instead of an AK? I hear alot about the movement of the action on an auto affecting accuracy but it's hard to imagine the slightest movement before the powder is ignited and the bullet leaves the muzzle at 2500+fps. I would like to see an ultra-slow-mo video of the action on an auto and the muzzle when a round is fired just to see if there's any movement of the action before the bullet exits.

Thank you OP. It's great to see Vietnam vets getting the appreacion they deserve they didn't get back in the 70's.

I like this guys videos, sometimes he has a gun review or a political opinion which is often pretty logical but alot of his videos are just funny.   Warning: He can be vulger or use harsh language be we are all adults here.     Too funny. PG13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQojq0ybA58    

Three strikes and you're out. No more Publix biscuits ever. Just had the other can/tube pop in the fridge, that's 3 now. I know it's no national emergency and i'm out a whole $1.15 but they do have a packaging problem. I like some Publix brand stuff, you just have to learn by trail and error what's good and what's not.

I see a market for a new kind of holster here. Wonder what you would call it?

  We don't play soccer here, well we have a game kinda like soccer, we kick a possum around and try to kick it in the bed of a 72 Chevy pickup, that's a goal.   :)
