MacGyver

The picture was taken in '51.

For me, it's Jet's 8 corner. Put it in a cold oven. Turn the oven to 450. Set the timer for 8 minutes. Your mileage may vary.

Just left Lipscomb's campus. Taught in one of their graduate programs. They're doing some good work. Congrats to your brother! They've got a neat program. If he doesn't have a job yet, make sure he talks to the faculty. They've got a lot good connections.

This is a fairly lengthy read, but the hypothesis really seems to make some sense out of the chaos that we're seeing develop right now.  It prompts some really interesting questions for those of us in the engineering space, the education space and the entrepreneurial space.   http://www.forbes.com/sites/venkateshrao/2012/09/03/entrepreneurs-are-the-new-labor-part-i/     Thoughts?

That barrel extension is pretty cool.  72db is awfully quiet. 

When you've got a stash like that, you shouldn't have to drink it in the garage ;)

If it's the strain of Norovirus that's been prevalent this year, bleach is your ultimate friend.  From a friend of mine at the CDC:   Bleach trumps all when disinfecting surfaces, toys etc...  Doesn't need to be full strength.  Normal cleaning dilution is fine. Hand sanitizer is ineffective against it.  But soap and water works fine. It can live on surfaces for days, and some people continue to shed the virus for 3 days after symptoms have stopped No preparing food for others for three days after symptoms have stopped For little ones who can't reliably keep their hands clean, quarantine is key For little ones who get sick, dehydration is the biggest factor - hydrate as much as possible

I'd love to introduce some hogs to these.  I'll take them if you've still got them.

You've got someone who actually has a transferable Thompson who doesn't know it's value?   They've been going for $15-18K in great condition.  That's assuming that all the paperwork is there and the weapon is actually legal to transfer.

I don't know what a particular Master Dealer would save you, but we've got a few on here. It's probably worth calling and having the conversation. For my money, were I going to spend that on a pistol, I'd go for a Springfield Armory Pro PC9111. That's the gold standard in my book. At $2,600, it's still a lot less than the list on the Wilson Combat. Or, you could call Jeff Meister and get him to build you a true custom with top shelf parts exactly to your spec. Either one of those will shoot at least as well as the Wilson. Shoot, for $3,875 you could just about get both.

That soft foam is different than what Sig is selling. The devil is in the details.

Make sure you work with a Master Dealer. They'll save you a lot of money off that list price.

I see they've gotten an approval letter from the ATF.  I wonder what happens to "not designed or intended to fire a weapon from the shoulder" when someone does in fact mount it to their shoulder?

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...someone's going to wind up in jail.   I'd hate to have to argue this one in court.

How are those White's working out for you?

Flying out of Houston not to long ago I handed them what I thought was my ID, but was surprised when the TSA agent handed it back to me with my ticket and it was actually my check card with my picture on it. They let me through, thus adding to my skepticism about the TSA adding any value to the equation.

I wish they would just make the HCP an endorsement on our license - get rid of the extra piece of plastic with the same number on it as my driver's license altogether.

I know someone who just went through a home study. They want guns and ammo locked up separately.

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread. We've clearly got enough interest. I'll keep everyone apprised of progress, and when it goes, everyone will have plenty of time to make payment before we order. To any of our vendors, we're likely going to be looking for a few to facilitate transfers.

Not yet.  We've  got some serious work to do to pull this off.

How we treat our prisoners, "terrorist" or otherwise has much more to say about us than it does them - or even the questionable intelligence we may gain through the employment of "enhanced interrogation" techniques.  If you believe that the rights listed in the Bill of Rights are in fact unalienable, natural or God given, then denying them to a prisoner will do more harm to you than it does them in the long run.    This isn't really a new problem, either.  Do some reading on WWII's Operation Pastorius to see how we struggled to deal with German sabotuers, and ended up providing them counsel.   History will record for the generations the actions we take to respond to events in the present.  The story we leave our grandchildren matters.    While no one would wish to have to make these choices, this is as much about us as it is them.

David, I bet your truck gets better mileage than when you put the hammer down on the new one.

Good to see you on, Don!  And, glad to hear that you're coming along well.   We're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Maybe the two we had were duds.  I was surprised, but not really disappointed.  If they had been a solid I think we would have been better.  The hole in the middle seemed to be the weak point.    She's as gentle as can be, and has never been a chewer to speak of.  Toys, however are no match for her.   The big nylabones do last a while.  Lord help you if you step on one in the dark with bare feet, though.
