With the right tools, which aren't real expensive, roll pins are a non issue.

Good grief! it looks like my kids have been in your shop. :shake:

With the house payment freed up, it shouldn't take long to get rid of the truck payment. Put your old truck payment into a savings account every month and write a check for the next one. I'm telling you, it sure relieves a lot of stress. When you get to this point, money becomes unimportant, and you can focus on the things in life that really have meaning.

People who tell you that is a mistake are likely broke, stupid, trying to sell you something, or a combination or more than one of these. Congratulations! It feels good to not owe anyone anything, huh?

I try desperately to avoid busy places. That probably explains why I've not seen this in person.

We went there several years back. We weren't at that particular show, but shortly after.They were selling DVDs of it. I don't think anyone left without one. My kids have watched it until it doesn't work any longer.

Now that doesn't surprise me.   We have one handicap space at our office, and my boss parks in it. In all the years we've been there, I've never seen a handicap person there. To be honest, it wouldn't be the best space for that anyway. There's always one open right at the front door.

I don't drive impressive vehicles, I simply try to take care of them. I never take two parking spaces unless I'm pulling a trailer.   That's why I asked where there were a shortage of handicap spots. I'm sure it's something that I've just failed to notice since I'm fortunate enough to not need one.

Has the NRA made public their position on this?   Anybody want to speculate on how this will turn out?

Please don't think I'm arguing against handicap parking spots.   Although I'm not as observant of them as I likely would be were I handicapped, I've yet to see a public parking lot without a vacant handicap parking spot. I have seen many instances of parking lots with every available spot filled, except the dozens of empty handicap marked spaces.   Where are you finding this to be a problem?   I would never use a handicap spot unless someday it is necessary. I try to park just as far away as I can from the other vehicles to avoid door dings.   I do find that regularly, when I do this, I'll come back to my vehicle to find some jerk parked 3" from me, with dozens of empty spaces in every direction surrounding my vehicle. I don't know what makes people do this.

Thanks a lot guys. :up: Last night was hard, as we always gathered at her house. Life goes on, and we have lots of fond memories. Here's to wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.

We're here for you. :up:

Yup! We can't compete with Gordon's present.

I wouldn't make an ass of myself over it.

Black lives only seem to matter when a white guy takes em.

I'm a revolver guy, but pretty much everything about a 1911 seems "just right" to me.

If black lives matter, why is no one concerned with the murder of blacks by other blacks? This is where the vast majority of violent black deaths occur.

Pulling a gun on a trained law officer ranks toward the very top of stupid ideas.

Any of the ones you've mentioned will likely fit your criteria. I would also suggest you give a Rock Island Armory 1911 consideration.

David, you know you're welcome to come try it out if you get a chance.

I got the 7' Lambert model at the top of the page.       http://www.kincaidbilliards.com/new-tables.html   I also got the ping pong table top to go with it, but we haven't opened it yet.

My wife's grandmother passed peacefully in her sleep early this morning. At the age of 102, it really wasn't a surprise, but she was a big part of our lives.   She lived on a farm all her life, and worked her butt off every day she was able. If you were welcome, there was always a cooked meal on the table. If you weren't; she had a shotgun for that.   She was at church every Sunday morning. She raised kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, a garden, cows, tobacco, and chickens. She could mend blue jeans, or a broken heart.   There are no more like her, and she was the kind of person I aspire to be.   We could use your thoughts and prayers this holiday season.   Thanks for listening.   Greg

Not mine.....at least not yet. :ugh:
