Snaveba

I ran the Gauley once.

We may well have. I would have been15-19yo. I spent much more time in the Ocoee/Tellico area (used to know the Ocoee like the back of my hand) and Obed area. Oh, and summer trips on the Arkansas Gunnison rivers in Colorado.

By when do you need payment?

Was this fairly recent kayaking? Or like me, kayaking in the 80’s?

I think there was a much more recent version of this thread, but since @Omega pulled it from the archives I figured I would respond. Pretty easy Snaveba is A.B. Evans (my initials and last name) backwards. This goes back to trying to create an email address on AOL almost 30 years ago. Everything I tried was taken. AOL kept offering AEvans (and some number) so I just did abevans backwards.

Wait? Where’s my ring?

Great picture but photoshopped. The airstream it the same in both photos. All the same shadows, rust drips, etc.

Nice grab @Kahrman

I'm pretty sure I had one of these

is there another reason to buy a lever gun, then "because I want it"?

Or your 20th

That’s scary, but does not surprise me. If a shooter is in any way a martyr for the cause of gun control, shooting politicians instead of children may have a bigger effect on policy.

Still for sale

They always are.

Was that the boating accident?

What is it you do again Omega……

I doubt Trump was wearing Level 4 Plates. Soft armor at best, and probably not even that.

Up for sale is my Sears Ted Williams Model 100 lever action. It is chambered in .30-30. It’s basically a Winchester model 94. I’m guessing it’s mid-70’s. I picked this up from Chance77 in 2022. It came with the side plate for the scope. I added the vintage Aimsport scope. I did refinish the wood. The factory finish was meh and the walnut turned out great with a hand rubbed oil finish. I sighted it in last fall and it shoots great. Asking $600. For sale to Tennessee residents who can legally own a firearm. Located in Nashville.

If he had used a Winchester Model 70 with a decent scope, he wouldn’t have needed a bunch of follow up shots. Or even an AR in 6.5 Grendel, or some other longer range cartridge. I am surprised there isn’t more anti-“evil black rifle” talk. But I also don’t watch a lot of news. What happens when the next guy uses a hunting caliber rifle (30-06, 7mm win mag, etc ) and a decent can. Then the chits really gonna get crazy.

I guess it’s fits both candidates to some extent. and I suppose it’s also the side you are looking from. Either side can argue that the other is just the same. Maybe Trump is just more open about his intentions. Both want the power. Biden said in 2020 that he was a “bridge” to younger politicians. Trump said recently he would rather be hanging out at one of his country clubs than running for president . Both could have stepped aside for younger candidates. Neither have their party that option. Both want the power. In the long game, neither will be here in 2028, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. (But it’s probably just the headlight of the runaway train of “new” candidates about to run us down)

I listen to him not really the news. I’ll listen to what he says, and how he says things. I’ll listen to the rhetoric he uses, the divisive words, the ugly things he says, and that is what makes me not like him. He is not Presidential. He is not a nice man and I really don’t think he gives two cares about working people. if you really cared, he would not have run for president. He said “oh I only ran because Joe Biden‘s running”. He could’ve also supported a really good young slightly more progressive candidate who would very likely win, but that’s not what he wants. he wants to win, he wants the power .

If Trump wins, and after the events of this weekend, I believe his chances having increased, I hope he can put aside his pettiness in his vengefulness that he is known for, and he can lead our country and work with Democrats, without the rhetoric and the divisiveness that we saw in his first term.I know and recognize he got some things done in his first term, so I’m not convinced it will be a train wreck, but he will have to prove me wrong.

Well I would say gun-toting, 2A affirming, pro-choice, pro-equality, pro fiscal responsibility, pro tax the 1%, pro teaching all history, pro there are only two genders, pro FREEDOM of religion and from religion (including freedom from religion in government). Makes me pretty much damn square near the middle. (maybe leaning a little left). Fiscal Conservative, Socially Liberal , Uber-Moderate. Leave me alone to live my life as I want to and I will leave you alone to live your life as you want to.
