Welcome. Have the M&P 9C as my EDC as well. Love it. - K

I heard last night that the kid who was 'lost' in the National Park up there was hunting Ginseng (how he got lost!) I've ordered seeds, but never found any on my property. Would make a nice 'retirement fund'! - K

I concur, gotta try before you buy. I'd be happy to host everyone out at our property, or ORSA! I also wouldn't shy away from 20-ga. Though Oma's a tough Kraut, the lighter load performs well enough, and means you can stay at the range longer. - K

Muchas Gracias Senior! I drive one on Kingston Pike several times a week and always paranoid. No more! Thanks. - K

Do you have a reference for said statute? Would love to keep that handy (I do a lot of driving)! - K

LOL! Prolly shouldn't, but.... Couple months ago on my way home from work (noonish), the traffic on I40 was typical. For some reason folks here don't understand the purpose of the "passing" lane, which is rather infuriating, so.... I slipped over a couple to the right, punched it, and saw the guy as I was moving over (sweeeeet looking undercover white Charger, but I'd digress). Blue's came on, safely over to the shoulder I went. Car in park, keys on the dashboard, windows all rolled down. Gentleman was from the sheriff's dept. working interdiction looking for drugs, etc. Pleasant exchange, paperwork was all in order, I received a written warning for 85 in a 55, have a nice day. GOD BLESS TENNESSEE!!!! - K

As a former Yankee myself, welcome! I spent the last 20-years bopping around outside Roch-cha-cha. Finally saw the light! - Kevin

Muchas Gracias Senior!

Can you share the recipe? That sounds good! - K

I hear the plug-in models take care of the 'stamina' problem. - K

I had a landscaping client back in the great white north that used ultrasonic speakers (on a motion sensor) to keep deer out of their garden. Said it was rather effective (and hardly noticeable unless you were up close trimming their hedges.... ) - K

Yeah, was thinking the same thing? Not to knock the store, but I know substantial safes cost a substantial sum.... you'd think they'd throw in a couple bucks worth of material for an 'underlayment' in your installation fee? - K

M erry friggin Christmas!!!!! That's great. Very generous. Or my co-worker used to say... mrry crimmus!! - K

I share 2 property lines w/ TWRA public-accessible wildlife area's (bowhunting permitted). I can't even find the border in some cases, but yes, signs do get expensive! - K

LOL! I've got 3-4 you can harvest right now! Every Sunday morning I spook them out of my orchard. Bastards did a number on my apple tree's. I've taken a few pop-shots at them (not really trying to hit), but after what they did to my apple's... They hardly even spook anymore. Going to start practicing w/ my pistol at 50 and 75 yds... (or bring the AR one morning). - K

I haven't tried the 3 sisters. I've read about it, but frankly figured the beans and squash would block too much of the light from getting to the corn! I researched some and apparently it's not uncommon (getting blown over/down). Leaving it alone often times it will still produce (who knew?!) I lost a bunch earlier (along w/ most of my quinoa), but this second round of storms took out probably half what I had planted. Hope it's not too late, but I put the rest of my Peaches-n-cream in where the potato's were (harvested the first of those 3-4 weeks ago). Hey, maybe I'll till up the corn patch and plant some more taters! - K

I lost about half my corn this last storm we had. It's the 2nd time. Some of it gets blown over, some flat out breaks, falls down, and crushes whatever's underneath! Pissed, the dent corn was about 9-feet tall and just starting to tassle! - K

Thanks Leroy. Canoe-worthy? How fast is the current? I may put in up-stream, but I'm too dang old to paddle upstream very far or very strong, LOL! - K

LOL! Gotta find a thurs. to ply Watts Bar! I'll get the minnows and show you a great Donut Shop we've got in town. - K

Thanks! Sat. pics make it look kinda small for boats and jetski's, I just hope there's a few bass in there. Make that $34 license worth it! - K

Will be camping w/ the Family at David Crockett's Birthplace State Park next week which is right on the Nolichucky River (riverside campsite, too.) Any advice for plying those waters? What are conditions like? Muddy/Rocky? Fast river or slow? Worms and a bobber? What kind of fish are in there? Thanks! - Kevin

A friend of mine from NYC was telling me about a home-storage option some folks there used.... Small shotgun near the door stuffed in the wall behind a thin layer of sheetrock! Get a shim to mount the drywall flush w/ the rest of the wall, and load it up and place it between the joists inside the wall. Something comes to the door you don't like, punch through, grab the gun, pull it out. Click, bang! Nobody will know it's there, kids won't/can't get to it, and its always loaded and at the ready. Just hope you don't hit the joist when reaching for it ! - K

Ditto, have 2 of them, wife uses it. I'll mail you one of mine if you agree to send it back! - K

Wonder how much was in there?! - K
