TGO David

Folks; I wanted to go ahead and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving as we head into the evening. This holiday some of you may be traveling. Others may be spending the weekend at home. Hopefully you find yourselves surrounded by people that you care about, whether they be friends, family, brothers in arms, or fellow emergency services crew. Whatever you're doing, I hope that you stay safe and have much to be thankful for. And since this is a firearms forum and since we think about and talk about things like this, if you are out and about this weekend... please be vigilant. As the saying goes, keep your head on a swivel if you are out at the movies, at the shopping malls, or anywhere else that there are large crowds. Watch what's going on around you and trust your instincts if something feels wrong or out of place. By all means, if you are able, carry your sidearm. And give serious thought to carrying some sort of personal first aid kit. If you've never considered the latter, maybe spend some time this weekend putting together something that would easily fit into a pocket, purse, satchel or backpack. Again, I hope you all stay safe and have time to reflect on the blessings in your own life. Hooray for the holidays and God bless. --David

It really sucks to lose that much food but I don't think I would chance it. Today was a warm day so those very likely got above 40-degrees and that's when bacteria starts doing their thing. The only way to be safe would be to cook each until internal temperature was above 165 degrees Fahrenheit (USDA spec is 160* for pork and 165* for turkey) and I would suspect that as both of those are already cooked, that would just ruin them further.

Best advice is to watch as many videos as you can with similar setups to get a feel for how it is going to sound. The smaller muffler will almost always be louder than the larger muffler, of course.

I have my limits. I'm not that much of a eco-weenie.

That's what I do but it's rather wasteful.

The one thing stopping me from doing that is it won't fit under the coffee makers at work. We use those single-serve things.

You're not kidding about the insulation on these things.

ORDER NOW HERE: If you missed out on the TGO Logo Stainless Tumbler group buy earlier this year, or participated and want something for your hot drinks during the Winter months, you might be interested in this: I am going to do a group buy of Orca Chaser Cafe 20oz coffee mugs with the TGO emblem laser engraved on them, just in time for Christmas. We just need at least 25 of them to sell in order to make it worthwhile and keep the price reasonable. The Cafe mugs themselves sell for about $39 in stores but I can get them laser engraved for us and sell them for about $48.00 each. Sure, TGO will make a few bucks in the process but that will go toward me paying my kids to pack them up and haul them to the post office for me. They nearly rioted with the 100+ that we had to box up, label and ship last time. The following are mock-up artwork. I have a prototype coming but I'd like to get this ball rolling as quickly as possible so that we can give them the 10-15 days they need to produce them, ship them, and me mail them back out in time for Christmas. As before postage for USPS First Class "Shoe Box" shipping for quantities 1-2 and the cost will be around $7.00 - $8.50 depending on where you are and whether it's just one or two in the box. The most expensive rate at $8.50 was sending one to Seattle, WA just to get an idea of what the outer limit of cost was going to be. So unless you live in Alaska or Hawaii you should be within that range. Again... $48.00 for one of these bad boys. If you are interested, please vote in the poll and feel free to reply in the thread. As a reminder, Orca is located right here in Nashville. The engraver is not, however, so it takes some time to get these shipped back and forth. Updated with actual photos! I am really digging the flip-top lid with seal since this is a coffee cup!

I really cannot decide between the PSA MOE rifle and the Century C39V2 MOE. Thankfully I don't feel rushed to make a decision, so I am going to ponder it some more until one of the two ends up in my possession.

I have seen several things from Invision Power lately that make me wonder what they're thinking. The core forum software is improving, though, so I am still relatively happy.

I have initiated a refund request with the authors of the Comet Chat software. I agree with you guys that it is not something I like nor is it something I want to continue using. Sadly that puts us in the position of having to find another option since the IPB Chat feature is going away regardless. More to come.

The 92 is iconic for sure, and has sleek Italian lines... but c'mon... you mean this doesn't make your trousers a little snug?

An amp you might like, just a hair above your price range, is the Line 6 Spider15. It's a digital modeling amp so you can get a variety of sounds out of it which make learning even more fun. It can get plenty loud too. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/line-6-spider-iv-15-15w-1x8-guitar-combo-amp

@NoBanStan... dig it. Green bar.

I'm going to take a different tact... DON'T BECOME COMPLACENT! With a 2A-friendly President incoming and a GOP-controlled House and Senate, now is the time to keep pushing for gains in favor of the Second Amendment. Push hard for the changes in legislation that we want to see! The fight isn't over. The fight is never over. Reagan wasn't as strong of a 2A ally as folks think, but he was a smart man and he wisely observed that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

I've cleared the server-side cache within the forum itself. Let's see if you still have problems accessing chat?

Eh... I've got one thing I could try to see if it's maybe cached server-side, but I would have to close the forum down to try it. That'll have to wait til later tonight or early tomorrow when the traffic is down some.

Maybe clear your browser cache?

No idea. It's working fine for me so I can't replicate that issue.

It will take some finessing on my part to make the greenbar appear since a lot of our graphics pull from Amazon S3 at this point.

I do. Watching the video now.

This is a pretty good, short video featuring Adam Kraut, Esq. going over what he thinks the election of Trump really means for us as relates to the HPA.

I've flown several times now with a firearm and it has been simple and painless. Glad to hear you had no real issues either.
