That sounds like experience talking. I am always paranoid about this happening, as mine almost always comes part of the way out. I probably check it 5 times before I get it all back together.

Sweet. It's great to know that we were able to take some of the load off someone in a tough time.

Hey, that's great to hear. Thanks for posting. Let us know how the surgery went, too.

Do yourself the favor of learning how to field strip your Mark III. You will have a much cleaner weapon, and will feel better about your skills in doing it. Be prepared to spend 45 minutes the first time you do it. After you figure it out, it's easy to repeat. There's nothing difficult, it's just a little tricky. The key to it all is the hammer strut must be in the correct position to get the mainspring housing to close. Follow the manual and you'll get it right. I see that you are in Nashville, if you have any problems, PM me know and I'll be happy to show you how to do it. http://ruger.com/products/_manuals/markII.pdf

Morton's: 8oz. filet creamed spinach hashbrowns go with the bacon wrapped scallop appetizer - with the orange chutney sauce they serve it with, you'll want to lick the plate. I personally prefer the key lime pie, but for the chocolate fans, the molten chocolate cake will ensure that they have to wheel you out of there at the end of the night.

Well, welcome.

Kegger's right. The barrel has a hole in it where the gas port sits. You could theoretically plug the one hole and drill another, but it would be cheaper and easier to just get a carbine length barrel.

You shouldn't have any issue. Military brass is a little thicker, but in a 700 you shouldn't have any problem shooting quality milsurp ammo.

I'm definitely in. I'll probably wait for the DVD set, though. If I were to get HBO, it better come with a bottle of vodka and an unemployment application.

I'm sure it has changed. I always used to love eating there, but always thought what a cool place it would be if someone really spent the money to restore it and use it to it's fullest extent. I'll definitely check it out.

Was Libby Fryer the lady that operated the place when it was the Townhouse Tea Room? I used to love to got there for lunch when I worked downtown. That lady was not to be crossed - but the food was good. I'll have to bring the wife there when we get a night out.

If you've really got time, it will cost a lot less today than it will tomorrow. I know a couple of the private institutions in Middle Tenessee are raising their tuitions by as much as 10% a year over the next 3-5 years. I'll second what jack said about appropriate counseling. As a college degree seems to have become the latest equivilent of a high school diploma, you need to either go economically, or really spend some time making sure that your future earnings will be enough to pay off you student loans. I know that my wife will never offset her student loans that she got at Vanderbilt while earning her masters (with a lot of scholarship built in) at today's Williamson County pay rates. She says all the time that if she had it to do over again, she might have skipped it. That's not to say that you should skip it, just make sure that you are either really committed to the idea, or that you can justify the investment now for earnings in the future.

Hey, that's great news, and kudos to the doctor for delivering it before Christmas.

As someone who grew up in Atlanta, there's nothing better than a coke that's just on the border of freezing.

As long as your concrete was of the correct type, mixed properly and has cured appropriately normal Redheads would be sufficient. If there is any doubt about any of the above, use some epoxy for extra assurance. Jackdm3 is right - it would take a lot more than a person with a prybar to get that out of its mount. A vapor barrier is certainly recommended if you are on bare concrete.

Hey, that's great. Congratulations.

You can't string together a sentence like that and not share.
