MacGyver

The Narrows of the Harpeth is great for people just starting out.

I have never once heard a report of the guys at Guns and Leather doing a customer wrong.  Daniel and his team have earned the great reputation that they have!

An eye exam is a smart thing to get even if you don't need glasses. That said, I bet you optometrist could apply an anti-IR coating or corrective something to a pair of sunglasses.

There's a reason the old timers don't plant tomatoes until May 1st. I planted seeds under the lights in February. They're getting big, quick. I'm going to chance some going in the ground around tax day to try and have some good tomatoes by July 4th.

I'm definitely looking forward to checking out our own Jeff Meister's display of 1911s. Many of you remember him from his Hero 1911s. He's been in Texas for the last couple of years working on starting up the Republc Forge. Everything I've seen has been gorgeous. He's going to be in #1063.

I'm so sorry to hear this.

The Ti-Rant won't be going anywhere until they can get a new suppressor quieter than the existing lineup.

Shoot a PM over to TGO David.     I'll let him know to reach out to you as well.

The glow of tritium sights is caused by the emitted electrons from the tritium decay hitting and a phosphor screen which in turn causes the glow that we see.  You can get them in a variety of colors.

Offer my 6 year old a nickel per sand flea and you could supply a bait shop with what she uncovers.

Nice birds!

The old watch dials were painted with Radium. Radium has been out of favor for a long time due to its toxicity. That link had an inaccurate description of the sights, as you've learned. It should have read "non-radioactive luminous sights"

We had 7 adults and 9 kids down there. That redfish fed everyone. We made fish tacos with the pompano. We didn't want a single bite of the meat to go to waste, so we all ate until we were stuffed. We got to have some good conversations with a bunch of the kids, too - several of whom don't really come from sporting families. We got to talk about what it means to consume meat, and why some of us think it's important to participate in the food chain - how getting literal blood on our hands makes us more fully appreciate the proverbial blood each of us omnivores has on our hands. My oldest daughter and I have had this conversation before, and she really got it this time. It's neat because when we shared the meal that the redfish provided with our family and friends she really understood the almost sacred act that those meals represent to so many of us.

Oh, and the pompano are in, too!

Had a couple of great days fishing the beach this week down in Seagrove Beach. Caught this redfish that was just in the slot within 20 minutes of my line hitting the water. It's rare that you get to share such a treat with family and friends, but the meal that this fish provided was a true blessing - blackened redfish over smoked Gouda cheese grits.

i sure like the 338 Spectre. Great subsonic capability. Fewer supersonic choices than the 300BLK. It suppresses well through a 9mm can. You're not going out to 400m with the subsonics, though. Not unless you have some type of mortar sight anyway. But, within 150m it's awfully respectable.

"Former" directors don't have to worry about being called up before Congress to testify in hearings about ridiculous ammo bans.  They "no longer represent the agency", so they can't speak for them.

And we never even got to learn his first name...      

We've got some guys who can definitely speak to this better than me, but as a rule if a capacitor was recently replaced and is already going bad, that's probably endemic of something else going south.

And, I'll extend my offer as above.  Any time you want to go eat some hot chicken, let me know.  DLM and I love to go eat some Prince's.  I know your work schedule may make getting away at lunchtime an issue, but let me know and we'll go.

If you're going to Prince's, that's it.   Fried chicken, white bread and a few sides - their coleslaw is pretty good and mitigates some of the heat.  I don't know that I've ever eaten their beans.   It's cash only.  Drinks are generally via a coke machine by the register.

Start capacitors will fail over time.   The bigger issue on fixing them is whether or not the user actually knows what they're doing.  Big capacitors have the capacity to kill you.

There was a place in Seattle when I was in school out there called Dixe's Barbecue.  It was in an old garage, and they had a sauce called The Man.  I swear it was nothing but ribs and seeds of a bunch of different kinds of peppers.  It was hot.   The great part about it was the owner would yell at people to finish it if they ordered it on their sandwich.

When you get over this way some time, shoot me a note.  I'll grab Richard and we'll go over to Prince's.  If you're going to eat one, it should be the original.

Y'all we're reall lucky to have vendors like Mike on the forum. He's great to deal with, and threads like this are proof of that. We're really lucky to have a few vendors who earn their great reputation every day. I'd love to see some of our stores follow their examples.
