Nice.

Welcome to TGO!

You may have noticed that I haven't been online much lately. While I am extremely thankful to have a good paying job doing something I enjoy, they have been working my ass to death for about 12 months straight. The past three months have been brutal and I've clocked about 54 hrs per week on average. No overtime. I don't get that luxury. The company line is that we're salary and we should be grateful for that because we get paid good even when it's slow. Problem is... it's never slow. So the company line is bull####, but again I'm grateful to have my job. About a month ago it finally started to really take it's toll on me so my wife and I decided that it was time for a family vacation. Some folks like to park a folding chair on the beach with the sand between their toes and a cooler at their side. I can see where that would be relaxing, but if you give me a choice I am going to head for the mountains. We've vacationed out west in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, etc. and loved it out there but we just didn't have the time for that long of a trip right now. So we rented a beautiful cabin in the Smoky Mountains, butted right up against the park so that things would be peaceful and away from the tourist traps. We then spent the week driving through the park and hiking around, doing one of the things I love to do... taking photos. As much as I'm glad to be back and rested, I sure do miss the mountains already. Those of you who live close to them are damn lucky. Here's what's kept me away the past few days...

The situation you described immediately sounded like a weak or malformed extractor when I read it. After browsing that thread some more last night I guess my suspicions were more or less confirmed. We've got several Glock certified armorers on this forum, some as members, others as vendors, who would all likely be more than happy to assist you with troubleshooting and/or parts replacement. I know I preach this a lot, but the Vendors who support this site deserve our support in turn. TN Gun Country is not and, to my knowledge, never has expressed interest in supporting TGO. While they may be a great shop with great folks behind the counters, I'd try to swing some business towards one of our Vendors if you could. Without their support, there wouldn't be a TGO.

That's a good question. I had to go look as well, but the answer for you specifically is 24-November 12. I believe if you go to the top right hand side of the screen, click your name and a window will fold down. In that window is a link for "Client Area" that takes you here: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/index.php?app=nexus&module=clients Once there you should be able to see your current subscription.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Reminds me of this bit from Family Guy...

Juicy pic!

I would like to amend this by also stating that as far as I am concerned, this also applies to non-profit 503{c}{3} organizations such as Project Appleseed. A legitimate non-profit 503{c}{3} organization may post announcements about any of their classes or courses without being a Vendor. Thanks.

This really belongs in the Feedback and Support forum.

You'd be surprised. I was skeptical at first but we've seen numerous demos now where the tiled interface "makes sense" for a business. Microsoft recognizes that tablets, smart phones and devices with non-keyboard interfaces are where the BIG business market is won or lost. That and they fully intend to provide a homogenous interface option across all of the various platforms on which a Microsoft OS can be run. Again, Server 2012 doesn't even boot with a GUI by default... which rocks, as far as I'm concerned. Anything I can do via PowerShell is something I can script and automate.

We are part of the Microsoft RPD (Rapid Deployment Program) at work and one of my colleagues is part of the task force our company has assigned to put it through the wringer. He and two other guys went out to Redmond back in April or May and spent some time with other RPD partners from around the world. He's pretty impressed with it but admits that Microsoft is going to have to do something about the interface and thinks that if they do an R2 version like they did with Server 2008, it'll probably address a lot of those concerns. What we're really anxious to begin deploying is Server 2012. That's going to be a game changer. And just to qualify my remarks, I support an environment of approximately 5,000 Windows servers in a 90% virtualized environment as one of three VMware engineers. It's not exactly a small shop.

You should be able to edit your topic titles now.

Still have not worked on it either. I logged 63 hrs at my job last week, most of them around the clock. Give me a break. It'll get fixed.

www.RangerUp.com has this as a shirt. Pre-order currently. I placed my order a few days ago.

That looks like some excellent craftsmanship.

Chilling and based entirely in reality.

I'd take it to CHMR to shoot it, or down to Terry Walden's place outside of Christiana.

I'll have to do some digging. What's the other account name?

Wow... gorgeous.

Both of my current rifles are built using either a lot of BCM parts (shorty) or an entire BCM upper (middy). Zero problems, excellent quality.

Looks really good! How does it feel?

BCM is a great company and produces great hardware. Big fan of them here.
