MacGyver

I think you should make the roof like an actual steeple.

Neat!

Wow.

I guess I’m holding out hope to for someone with respect for rights and who isn’t straight up corrupt.

I guess it’s worth noting here that Ogles got raided by the feds this week.

This seems to be a lot of work. I’d check the breaker to make sure it’s 20a. I might take a faceplate off the outlet to make sure my wiring is right sized - especially if the house is older. Then if I was really worried about it - I’d get a power strip with a 15a breaker on board and plug them both into that so that it blows first. Then, I’d think through the volume of stuff I’m printing and spend some time pondering my life choices.

Man, I bet you’ll hear the theme song in your head every time you pick it up.

That’s awesome. All the work y’all put into this really shows. Those families must really feel the support.

Man, y'all just continue to refine and improve this event. I'm curious @Matt in TN - how many shooters do y'all expect to host over the course of the weekend?

Glad you're here!

I had both of those last two TRD off road models. I loved the Tacoma. I sold it because they offered me a little less than 5k less than I paid for it new with 60k miles on it. 2016 Tacoma crew cab long bed. 2021 4Runner. Both were capable trucks. The Tacoma was really long. You really needed to back it in to park. It got better mileage than the 4Runner by a bit. I should have kept the Tacoma. The 4Runner was lost in a freak accident when the parking pawl broke at rest when the truck was off and parked. Even though the parking brake was engaged - it still rolled down a hill and was totaled. It took a hot minute to resolve that. I’m in a hybrid Grand Highlander now.

Probably worth noting that Johnson lost her primary bid to Ogles last night. Early voting in Davidson county had her up by 22%. Election Day voters outside of Nashville really put him over the edge. That probably has the TN GOP feeling validated about breaking up TN05, but also likely has some of them looking over their shoulders as the general draws near.

Have you tried the Back Store over in Green Hills? They’ve been there forever.

Ryan makes straight up amazing stuff! Proud he’s a Tennessean.

Your dentist is going to have zero empathy when you chip a tooth or four.

I've stayed out of the last several pages of comments - but I'll say this. As a lifelong person of faith - it *really* messes you up when by all accounts you should've died and didn't. You won't really be the same ever again. People will say all kinds of stupid stuff - mostly because they care about you and don't know what to say. I've always had a bit of a problem with the "God must have spared you" line of reasoning. I mean, that's fine if that's what you want to believe I guess. But, it's hard to accept when you got to come home one day and 2,977 other people didn't. Same for Saturday. Was his life worth more than that fire captain's? As a person of faith, I'm willing to hold some space for "who knows?" or "maybe that's not really any concern of mine." Personally what lets me sleep at night is "this world is really broken - and it's being made right and we're closer to the end than the beginning - but we're sure not there yet." I say all that to say - the former president is probably pretty messed up. I could make speculations about his faith or lack there of - but I won't. I'll just say that I expect he finds himself in a place where he doesn't really have a bucket to put what just happened in. At some point everyone who's been through something like that looks in the same mirror - their head hits the same pillow at night - and that can be a really tough place. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

This is a known fraudulent account.

Also, be kind. Everyone on this forum joined for a reason. We can all agree that political violence is reprehensible.

USSS has some Real explaining to do. A guy with a long gun on an elevated roof 125m from their principal. Something(s) really broke down tonight.

Goodness. Good luck and Godspeed. You’ll be in my prayers. Keep us apprised.

This is a neat pattern. I bet it makes for a great EDC.

Oh, I'm not really someone you'd want making judgements on any of that. All I'll saying is that I've seen her work. She took the seat she's in on the council from someone she thought was dismissive of her concerns. She ran on spite - and beat him by putting in the work. So, whether you like her or not - I'm just saying I wouldn't be dismissive of her.

I don't know how I'm just seeing this. That's really nice

This is contrary to how a modern dealership actually works. A modern new car dealership is actually 3 businesses in one. 1. the business of selling you a new car (maybe $1000-$1500 in it for most dealerships - some make significantly less) 2. the business of finance and insurance - how are you going to pay for the car and what products can we sell you for it - (around $2500 for the average dealership - some significantly more - some significantly less). Whether or not you buy products - if you don't bring your own financing you're likely getting an interest rate that's marked up to "what the customer will bear" and the dealer splits this with the bank. This is 50% of profit in some dealerships 3. the business of servicing your car (maybe thousands of dollars over the life of a car) Now - what you need to know about each of those things is that each of them has a manager - and they have a compensation plan that is results driven. A service manager doesn't care if you bought a car from them. They're thrilled you're in their shop instead of where you bought it - because they're making money when you service your car there. Likewise, the F&I manager doesn't care the first thing in the world if you just negotiated the best deal in the world on that vehicle. They make their money in lining up financing and selling you warranties, gap insurance, wheel and tire protection, etc. So, all that to say - if you're a part of the new car ecosystem - it's good to have a working relationship with a dealer near you.
