Haven't been able to access TGO using tapatalk all day. TGO works fine on safari, and all my other forums are working correctly on tapatalk. Anyone else having this issue? Tried resetting my phone, no change.

  Definitely Harper's in Scottsville.  :up:   I've heard great things about Dovies in Tomkinsville, but haven't gotten to try it yet. 

I wouldn't be so quick to blame your daughter. Lots of scammers send fake emails that look like they're from Facebook, eBay, YouTube, and all the other social media sites. I get fake Facebook emails pretty often, and I know they're fake because I don't have an account. I just delete them.

I've done excavators that way on and off trailers, but that was a whole new level of impressive! 

  The NFA paperwork is a tax document; a tax stamp, as we all know.    As I understand it, one is only required to provide tax documents to an IRS agent. 

The Dillon 550 and 650 presses take standard dies.

If I recall properly, the law just states you can't be prosecuted for it; especially now that no permit is required to have a handgun in a vehicle. However, an employer can still fire you for any reason they choose.

It was so hot my horse was sweating before we even loaded in the trailer and went to work. Instead of getting excited, he actually relaxed a little bit while we were out and a brief rain shower hit us. 

Thanks for the update! Hopefully all goes well.    I had some harsh words for animal rescues in my last post, I just want to clarify that there's a good reason the rescue groups are the way they are. Over a period of 4 years, I worked with two different large animal rescue groups. Animal rescues get an astounding number of "Can you take my animal" requests from every source you can imagine; law enforcement (mostly large animals the county isn't equipped for), owners who decide a pet is inconvenient, folks who picked up a stray, other 'rescues' that thought it looked easy and quickly got in over their heads, and occasionally a real owner who is actually in a hard situation and legitimately can't keep their pet. If rescue groups accepted every animal offered to them, pretty much every facility and all the funding would be overwhelmed in a matter of days. Lots more people are looking to get rid of animals than most people imagine, and from the rescue's point of view that if an animal has an existence, food, water, and basic shelter then they can't take it. That space has to be reserved for a disturbingly large number of animals that -don't- have even that basic level of living.    It sucks, but that's the reality of it.

If you can keep her, keep her.    I wish you the best of luck with local rescues; I tried to find a home for a boxer/ pit mix a while back and found that the rescues around middle TN are pretty worthless. Harsh, but I've been on both sides of animal rescue (volunteering, adopting, and trying to get them to take a dog) and it's the truth. Of the 11 rescues I contacted including two Pit specific ones, three even bothered to respond. The Pit rescues never would. One was willing to help until they found out it was a pit, the another told me "Unless the dog is going to be put down we can't help you", and East CAN listed him on their website to try and find a home so long as I kept the dog until a home was found. If you can provide an existence for an animal, rescues usually won't take it.    Sounds like the owners don't care. Keep her. :)

It's been a bad week for fuel trucks in Nashville. One exploded over on Centennial Blvd a few days ago, I believe it's still closed over there. Truck and bridge happened a few years ago on 386 as well. That bridge was salvageable though.

The basic ramen bricks aren't really that unhealthy, it's the little flavor pack that's terrible. They're great for all sorts of quick things with vegetables or hot sauce thrown in instead of the flavor packs.

I think I remember the gay wedding cake thread. If its the one I believe it was, that was epic. :) I may have Waffle House for lunch today.

They could all probably hit the same side of the barn. Probably. :)

You would hope, but there are a lot more of these people out there than most folks realize. 

From Wiki:     Flag[edit] ACUITY raised the tallest flagpole in the United States on July 2, 2005. The steel pole was 338 feet (103 m) high, 6 feet (1.8 m) wide at the base, weighed 65 tons (without the flag), and was sunk into a 550-ton block of concrete that was 40 feet (12 m) deep, 8 feet (2.4 m) wide and reinforced by steel rods. The flag was 120 feet (37 m) by 60 feet (18 m), or 7,200 square feet (670 m²). Each star was 3 feet (0.91 m) high and each stripe was 4½ feet wide. It weighed 300 pounds.[3] This flag and flagpole outdid an earlier Acuity record, a flag raised June 2, 2003, atop a 150-foot (46 m) flagpole. Oddly enough, the new flagpole was actually a replacement; the old pole toppled over due to stress and high winds, falling away from nearby Interstate 43. The new flagpole was designed with extra bracing and placed much farther from the highway.[4] A powered hoist raises the flag at 80 feet (24 m) per minute, regardless of wind conditions, and is synchronized so that the flag reaches the top of the pole just as the Star Spangled Banner ends. [5] On October 4, 2007 it was announced that the flag pole would yet again be rebuilt to allow access to the beacon marker on top in case of light bulb replacement. The flag was rebuilt and the top section finished on April 4, 2008. On April 7, 2008 the pole, without a flag yet flying, began swaying noticeably during relatively low wind speeds. On April 8, 2008 the ball and top section were again removed, followed by a full removal of the pole. In April 2014, Acuity announced another attempt at the nation's largest flagpole to be erected by that year's Fourth of July, this time with a 400 feet (120 m) pole built by Manitowoc wind turbine manufacturer Broadwind Energy. The flag to be hoisted will measure 120 feet (37 m)x60 feet (18 m), with an LED lighting system designed to be visible from Cedar Grove 11 miles (18 km) south and much heavier reinforcement of the pole structure. The new flag pole stands 400 feet (120 m) tall. A 120 feet (37 m) by 60 feet (18 m) flag was raised for the first time on May 22, 2014. The pole has a concrete base spanning 11 feet (3.4 m) wide at the bottom. [6]     As for the cell equipment, I believe you can see a little bit around 4:12-4:13 in the video. 

That's actually their third attempt. The first one fell, the second one was swaying in the wind badly enough during construction that it was halted and taken back down. Then they put this one up. I believe this one also houses some cell phone equipment. :)

What if the new boyfriend drives down here and hits it off with the current boyfriend? What state would they have to go to in order to be married/ civil unioned, and would that be strong enough grounds to evict the cheating girlfriend?: lol: I think this thread officially has everything now. :lol:

Damn, David's post was good. :lol: :lol: Do not be at all surprised if that is a lie she told you. Obviously you can't trust this girl, it wouldn't surprise me of she's secretly been on the pill all this time and now that she thinks her free ride may be coming to an end, well... Might just be a medical miracle all of a sudden and she's got an income for the next 18 years! I hate to pile on, but you really don't seem to be getting it. Leave her. Now. No counseling, no second chance, both of you need to be out of Grandma and Grandpa's house by the end of the week. If nothing else you need to be stacking boxes in a warehouse or cooking eggs at Waffle House and living in a motel room for a week or two, and she just needs to be gone. Anywhere except where you are. As the others have said, it's time for both of you to put your grow up pants on and go see what the real world looks like. Why play video games simulating the real world web you can go live a real life? Or, you know...don't. Keep doing what you're doing, and end up exactly where you are now on three years with a kid or two that you can't support and her off who knows where with her newest sucker. I hate to sound mean here, but from your other posts in this thread I think that may be the more likely outcome. Get up, get out, go do something and build a little confidence in yourself because you really can do it. Nobody else can do it for you. Or... Don't. It's your life.

Pretty much. I've accepted the fact that my taste in music is outdated, dead, etc. For better or worse, the country music business isn't making it anymore. Thank heavens there are some other ornery outdated folks though, and most of them are making good music in Texas. :)

They're fans we don't need if their only interest is the the crap spewed forth by the Nashville music machine. For the last five years or so, country music has been "girl beer truck". How drunk can you get in your truck at a party with a girl with your "flat bill flipped back." There's no story, there's no emotion, there's no connection. It's generic noise that will be long forgotten by this time next year, replaced by another batch of media machine singers shakin and gyrating to a pop music beat with a cowboy hat on. Country music: Lost Highway, He stopped loving her, Whiskey Lullaby, yeah. Call it country, call it Texas red dirt music, call it Americana. By any name it's as wonderful music as its ever been and always will be. There's nobody in the pop country scene standing around to fill those shoes. The country scene in Nashville has nothing to do with music, it's just another component of the tourist trap this town is. There's no substance, no soul, and no connection. You're getting a whole lot of sizzle, but there's no steak. Robbie Fulks said it well: "As long as there's a moron market, and a faggot in a hat to sign..."

  She's also considered 'country' music, but that ship is so far gone it's sailed, docked in another port to resupply, and sailed away again. :lol:   There's nothing left of country music in Nashville other than a sold- out hall of fame and an Opry that just wants to book the latest flash in the pan 'thump and bump' outfit with a song about a truck. Country music packed it's bags and moved to Texas a long, long time ago.    Don't believe me? Okay. Is Hank Williams a member of the Grand Ole Opry?    Is Darius Rucker?  :surrender:   "They all say not guilty, but the evidence will show... Murder's been committed, down on Music Row..."

There are a lot of politics involved in Sumner county animal control, and drama around the organization is nothing new. It needs fixing. Efforts have been made to help in the past and generally were not successful, maybe a change at the top can get something done.

There are tons of great dogs out there in need of good homes. In fact, I just read about a Great Dane rescue in your area...:)

I love the Lane museum.    They bought that as an operational vehicle. It was brought up the Cumberland river, then driven through Nashville to the museum on Murfreesboro Rd at night with utility crews and a police escort. They have a great photo album and a video of it in the museum. Last time I was there, they also had a pretty decent group of mostly foreign military vehicles.   If you're in the area, it's worth stopping by.
