TGO David

Welcome.  :)

  No man, I'm asking why you haven't already!

Here's about 1/4 of the stuff I have on hand right now. The really limited stuff, including my bottle of Van Winkle, are locked away in a cabinet and I keep a fully stocked bar elsewhere in the house. The wine rack is running dry; I need to replenish that soon before the holiday parties start up. Right now I'm the only one in the house drinking anything distilled, brewed or fermented so I haven't been chomping at the bit to run out and buy more wine. There's too much good beer and good whiskey and bourbon this time of year to spend money on grape juice.

So here's a good one you guys should consider trying... The thing about Cleveland Underground is that they are considered to be heretics by quite a few in the industry and in the enthusiast camp. They use an oxygenated pressure/vacuum system to produce in 7-months what nature produces in 7-12 years and they aren't afraid to try woods that aren't exactly common such as Black Cherry and Honey Locust, like in this particular example. The taste is very good and very unique. Traditional barreling can only produce so much supply in a period of time. Now that hipsters are guzzling bourbons and whiskeys and impacting the supply much the way they've shoved skinny jeans, moustache wax, penny-farthing bicycle and beard oil producers into overdrive, there is almost no way traditional methods of distilling and casking can keep up with demand. I think we're going to see more "sorcery" (science) like this come into vogue in the years ahead. Anyway, give it a spin.

I have both of those here presently. The toasted is very good, but then again everything Michters makes is very good. I haven't opened the Old Scout yet.

Well... Kind of a sad way to go out.

I've got a couple set of Rigid Dually Flood, Spot and Dually D2 lights collecting dust if you want to add some luminance to that rig.  ;)

Sign up for Newegg.com's mailing list.  They have some good deals on IPS monitors frequently.  This 27" Dell IPS monitor is on sale right now for $449.   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260234&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=EXPRESS102415&cm_mmc=EMC-EXPRESS102415-_-EMC-102415-Index-_-LCDLEDMonitors-_-24260234-S1A2A

Mmmm yeah that's the stuff.  I had Total Chaos bits on my FJ too.  Looks great!

  Welcome Reid!  Thanks for the kind words.  I've heard plenty of excellent things about you and your org.  Glad to have you here.

Thanks for the feedback so far folks.  I'm not going to carry through with the idea.  It was cathartic to just get it out of my system.    

It's been a while since this happened but yes, we had someone post a bunch of stuff for sale and then try to reverse charges a few months later.  After going back and forth with the member's bank over it, I finally just told them to refund the person and I banned them permanently from the site.   The more I think about the notion of just taking the high road, the more I think it's probably the right idea.

So I am thinking about starting a TGO Hall of Shame upon which I will post the names of members who have, for various reasons, earned themselves a public shunning.   Extreme?  Hear me out.  :)   Every so often I have to spend an hour or so of my time in email and on the phone fighting to keep $20.  Because every so often someone buys a Benefactor membership here, uses it to post some ads in the Trading Post, and then goes to PayPal and disputes the charge saying that we charged them without authorization.  :rolleyes:   Bear in mind that we do not do automatically recurring subscriptions for this precise reason.  I never want TGO to automatically debit someone's account and be the reason why they overdraft at their bank, or can't buy groceries or put gas in their car.  An unexpected debit could easily cause any of those scenarios to play out.   So when someone buys a Benefactor membership, it's not a mistake.  They did it willingly.  And as most of you know, a Benefactor membership on TGO has some pretty immediate value and perks, the least of which not being the ability to use our Trading Post to post advertisements.  Which means that anyone who summarily demands a refund from PayPal is essentially trying to defraud TGO and "screw the system", so to speak.   And that's why I am tempted to start a Hall of Shame.   Because if you're willing to rip us off, everyone ought to know it.   :shrug:   What do you guys think?    

                You sound like a guy who has never made a mistake.  Please tell us what it's like living a perfect life.  Does it get annoying having all of those people following you around asking you to show them how you walk on water or change water into wine, or do you leverage the modern advances of social media and demonstrate the miraculous via YouTube?   Because, buddy, if you think you are so far removed from the possibility of ever having to walk in the shoes of the OP, you might be setting yourself up for a big dose of karma.  There's  an old saying a friend of mine was prone to utter in cases like this:  There, but by the grace of God, go I.   How many more rocks do you have in that pile behind you to throw?

I'd recommend you get one and shoot it a few times before deciding if you really need the Apex trigger.  My M&P 45 didn't need the Apex trigger, unlike my M&P 9mm.  The 45 had a pretty darn good one right out of the box.

I really wish they'd STOP overdubbing the sound of a hammer being cocked whenever someone handles a Glock.

B&W are flashbacks.  Color is current time.

Are you going to stop and tell them you have it?

  That's what all of those FEMA caskets are for.

I already did.  Whatever microchip tracking device the Government is putting into us, is already deep inside my arm by this point.

  Cool.   I guess my second impression when looking at your load list was "Where are you getting home from with all of that?".  I stumbled across a reasonably good blog a while back, written by a former Marine, that has an article you might find helpful while sorting out your kit:  How To Survive It

Stick a lens-looking thing on one of these and strap it to the same place. Problem solved. ;)

Not the place for WTB ads.  Please upgrade to a Benefactor subscription and post this in the Trading Post.

  AK?

  They've always been pretty pragmatic.  Function over form.
