X3 or 4 on the brake hose. They get an internal aneurysm, allow the pressure to hold the pressure on the piston.

I used an old boy from the Philadelphia area a couple years ago, did a good clean job and was reasonable. He did not try to sell me anything but he is no longer answering his phone. I had a brush to clean my fireplace at my last place but this roof is too steep and too high for this old boy to climb. ray, the oldogy SS liners are expensive but if your chimney shows any deterioration might be the way to go.

Exposed: The Secret Animal Rights Agenda Of America’s Next Regulatory Czar January 15, 2009 Barack Obama’s pick for “regulatory czar,†Harvard Law School Professor Cass Sunstein, may be the incoming president’s most popular appointment so far. Judging from his resume -- best-selling author, “pre-eminent legal scholar of our time,†and an endorsement from The Wall Street Journal -- we can almost understand why. Almost. Because as we’re telling the media today, there’s one troubling portion of the new Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) Administrator’s C.V. that has seems to have flown under everyone’s radar: Cass Sunstein is a radical animal rights activist. Don’t believe us? Sunstein has made no secret of his devotion to the cause of establishing legal “rights†for livestock, wildlife, and pets. “[T]here should be extensive regulation of the use of animals in entertainment, scientific experiments, and agriculture,†Sunstein wrote in a 2002 working paper while at the University of Chicago Law school. “Extensive regulation of the use of animals.†That's PETA-speak for using government to get everything PETA and the Humane Society of the United States can't get through gentle pressure or not-so-gentle coercion. Not exactly the kind of thing American ranchers, restaurateurs, hunters, and biomedical researchers (to say nothing of ordinary consumers) would like to hear from their next “regulatory czar.†A version of the same paper also appeared as the introduction to Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions, a 2004 book that Sunstein co-edited with then-girlfriend Martha Nussbaum. In that book, Sunstein set out an ambitious plan to give animals the legal “right†to file lawsuits. We're not joking: “[A]nimals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives, to prevent violations of current law … Any animals that are entitled to bring suit would be represented by (human) counsel, who would owe guardian like obligations and make decisions, subject to those obligations, on their clients’ behalf.†It doesn't end there. Sunstein delivered a keynote speech at Harvard University’s 2007 “Facing Animals†conference. (Click here to watch the video; his speech starts around 39:00.) Keep in mind that as OIRA Administrator, Sunstein will have the political authority to implement a massive federal government overhaul. Consider this tidbit: “We ought to ban hunting, I suggest, if there isn’t a purpose other than sport and fun. That should be against the law. It’s time now.†Sunstein also argued in favor of “eliminating current practices such as greyhound racing, cosmetic testing, and meat eating, most controversially.†He concluded his Harvard speech by expressing his “more ambitious animating concern†that the current treatment of livestock and other animals should be considered “a form of unconscionable barbarity not the same as, but in many ways morally akin to, slavery and mass extermination of human beings.†Sound familiar? As the individual about to assume “ the most important position that Americans know nothing about,†Sunstein owes the public an honest appraisal of his animal rights goals before taking office. Will the next four years be a dream-come-true for anti-meat, anti-hunting, and anti-everything-else radicals? Time will tell. For now, meat lovers might want to stock their freezers. <!-- URL Link --> URL: http://www.consumerfreedom.com/news_detail.cfm/headline/3807 <LINK href="utilities/style_copyright.css" rel=stylesheet>Copyright © 1997-2009

Interstate Highway part of TN National Forest?
oldogy replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Yeah, this part of the law has bothered me for years. I am an older guy, probably much older than most folks that you find out in the woods, on and off the trails. From what I find out the law is to prevent a person from poaching. Another one of the stupid laws that we have enacted over time. Of course it does not matter if I run onto a druggie protecting his stash and willing to rob and kill me in a heartbeat. If he gets caught, he is back on the street in 24 hours. If I get caught on the mentioned lands while carrying I am most likely in deep trouble even though at 70 years of age the most serious law infraction I've ever had is a parking ticket. So do we act to change the law? End of rant. oldogy -
I think that bill is a great idea whose time has come. Just think what registration and strict compliance has done with the automobile and other motorized vehicles. No more deaths...........yeah, right.

Airhead or worse. Totally unacceptable. oldogy

I had been looking for an all dark for a while. Was tired of looking, finding everyone on line was back ordered. I ran into a new one at local shop and paid $309. Neat little gun, more accurate than I had imagined. ray, the oldogy

I have a similar I-J in 32 cal, five shot. The shape looks identical, three inch barrel. Mine belonged to my dad and he carried it some 'till he got a 38. Some of the nickel is worn off mine but it is tight. I've never shot it and really don't think I would have any problems shooting it. From what I've read about the I-J they were a cheaply built gun and should not be fired with modern ammo. ray, the oldogy

Interesting that a LEO to ask you to touch or reach near your weapon for a minor law infraction. To me that is down right ludicrous. WHY in the world would he possibly want you to do that ? You've shown him your CC permit! You're legal! What am I, a law abiding, tax paying citizen missing here? Seriously, an inquiring older mind would like to know. I've been approached by a game warden while carrying and the last thing in the world I expected was the command to 'turn over your 'gun'. ray, the oldogy

There is a billet grill on our Ford van that came with the business. Narrow horizontal bars like your proposal shows. Real PIA for me to get to the secondary hood release as my hands are big and they just won't fit between the grill bars. Be aware.

Hixson Wally World is about out...
oldogy replied to mousegunner's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Picked up 200 rounds of Winchester 115 gr 9mm at WW Madisonville Tuesday, 06th am. WW Athens was out of the above on the 5th. WW Athens has a few guns left, nothing I would want to buy. ray, the oldogy -
So is it accurate at all distances? I doubt it. ray, the oldogy

Hunted coon many years ago. Had an old dog named Sooner. That old dog would sooner hunt than eat I think. Much fun. Now I watch them when they come to eat out of the ;)"cattle feeder":) ray, the oldogy

Why not show some respect for those living around you and shoot sometime other than a Sunday am?

When I was introduced to firearms, late 1940s, I was allowed to hunt my grandparent's farm. The farm was of several hundred acres and from many parts of the farm you could not hear gunshots on neighboring properties. Although my GPs and parents were not strictly religious they all respected the rights of others and would allow no excessive noise such as shooting on Sunday. Besides, hunting was illegal on Sunday back in MD. I do remember going way out in the boondocks with my dad to this old boy who was a gunsmith of sorts. Sunday was like any other day to him and we sometimes hung out with him and shot. In fact that is where I shot my first 30-06 as a kid------another story. So, I think it is about respect. If there is any chance at all that someone would be disturbed don't shoot. JMHO, yours may vary. ray, the oldgoy

I carried one 50 years ago while in the army and was a whole lot younger. Not that they are not a great weapon, just don't think I would want to CC one now.

Yeah, as the matter of fact I saw a little action this am early. I was having my first cup of coffee and watching down through my part of open woods and there were two does and a spike buck. He tried to mount one of the does but about time he mounted she would move. Don't know if she was not quite ready or it was his lack of experience but they ran on up on the ridge behind the house. Don't know if he consumated the deal or not but the interest is there. ray, the oldogy

I'd have to go into the bedroom, about 30 feet. I like to believe my environment is a little more secure than most. I live back in the woods, about 1/3 mile to a two lane county road. A creek ravine boarders one side of my property and there are two one hundred acre mostly wooded parcels boardering two other sides. The property to the rear is fenced so I expect no intrusion from there. My drive gate, about 1000 feet down the drive, is closed except when I am expecting someone. My 85lb GSD that is always by my side hears any vehicle traffic on my gravel road, usually before my drive alert sounds. She usually gets "alert duty" at least once a day as the deer come to visit. So in the event someone would be unlucky enough to get close enough to 'kick in the door' they would have a welcoming party of big black dog followed up by model 12 with OO. I actually feel quite secure. I live in farm country. My theory is that 'punks' who would force enter are 'skeeered of country.' ray, the oldogy
