  1. Mine opened in my right front pocket, too.
  2. If you like to deep carry a Spyderco, you owe it to yourself to pick up one of Casey Lynch's clips. http://www.lynchnw.com They're hard to come by. He's almost got that Peter Atwood thing going on, where he makes a batch of something, releases them to his list, and they're gone almost immediately. That said, BladeHQ usually has some in stock.
  3. Man, I'm sorry to hear this. Sounds like you've got some options to buy him a little more time. The best advice we got with our lab was to make a list of the 5 things she liked to do the most. When she could no longer enjoy those - or lost interest - we'd know her pain was taking over. Labs are so stoic - it's hard to know when they're really suffering. Ours wanted to be with us and please us until the day she died.
  4. What’s the hole spacing? Seems like you should be able to order some standard ones.
  5. I think you literally found the one I lost in that boating accident...

    Yes. Multifactor authentication. Basically, this is the process where you need an app or a device (like a phone) each time you log in from a new device. It means that to log in, you need something you have (the device) in addition to something you know (the password). This protects you in a couple of ways. First, since most of America uses the same password everywhere - if your password is compromised somewhere else, they can't simply log in. Second, since people routinely fall for phishing messages and expose their password - again, you prevent the malicious actor from being able to log in. They might have your username/password, but they need your device to log in from Nigeria or Bulgaria or wherever. I really cannot recommend it enough for your mail, your financial accounts, and your social media.

    You could always play along and troll him...

    He must have been fast. I banned him with 10 minutes of joining. Your email by itself isn’t worth much. But, here’s a regular reminder to use a unique, strong password for email. And, as most cloud email providers support MFA - use it. It absolves us of a multitude of sins.

    He was clearly a spammer. They posted the exact same solicitation in about 15 different WTB ads within a couple of minutes. I’d proceed with caution - they’re almost certainly a scammer. They listed their location as TX. The IP showed somewhere else.
  10. This is the same thing we’d suggest if your husband joined looking for a gun for you.
  11. It's probably listed in the manual somewhere. Typically I'd say it's 5/8x24 on a .30 cal. But, that might not be a fair assumption on a Kimber. I know they did some in 7/16x28.
  12. You're welcome to shoot mine anytime. What's the thread pitch on those Kimbers?
  13. Do it. As someone who’s made a few knives with a hacksaw and a few files, you can do a lot with a little if you’re willing to invest some elbow grease. If I wanted to do it on the cheap, I’d probably use some hardwood charcoal (or coal) and a cheap blower motor. The hard thing with a railroad spike will be heat treating and getting a durable edge with mild steel. If it were me, I’d practice on a spike or two, then buy a piece of 3/4 square bar stock of 1085 or something that could be properly heat treated.
  14. Uninsured motorist insurance doesn't pay for someone else's insurance. It pays for repairs on *your* vehicle if someone who doesn't have insurance hits you.
  15. The 1959 version of the Mummy scared the heck out of me as a child.
  16. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
  17. I saw those two together at the Ryman back in the day. Man, those were great shows. Robert Earl Keen’s 20th Anniversary of Live Dinner is totally worth a listen. Whenever I want to just hear my kids sing at the top of their lungs, I’ll cue up Feeling Good Again in the car. My oldest says the song makes her think that’s what heaven must be like.
  18. I wish they had a date where they were together In Nashville. I thought about making the drive to see this one.
  19. I’d stay the heck out of there come a full moon. No telling what might happen.
  20. One day somebody is going to both improve on this design and price it where it should be. I don’t believe the original had a removable choke - nor did it need one.
  21. Don’t forget the 2019 Kia catalog and a hole where his soul used to be...
  22. That's one giant, well fed coyote if that's what it is. It would almost make me want to put some bait out with a game camera. I guess it could be a bear - but y'all don't get too many of them up that way.
  23. If you’re serious about ending homelessness and systemic poverty, then this is a good step in the right direction. Better yet, we’d quit piling on fines over stuff that wouldn’t be a crime if you weren’t homeless anyway, thereby perpetuating the cycle. I can’t count the people I’ve met in the last decade who are working - but what’s keeping them from being housed is court costs and fines that simply keep growing. That’s not hyperbole. It’s literally multiple dozens of people. In Nashville, you pretty much have to have a car to work. That’s clearly not an absolute. But, our hub and spike transit system makes getting pretty much anywhere a multi-hour endeavor if you’re not lucky enough to have your destination on the same line. I get being “tough on crime” and all that. But, the system isn’t going to fix itself. People in poverty aren’t going to pull themselves up by their bootstraps - at least at any scale.
  24. Just about any local brick supplier of any size will have them.
  25. Huh. Did they replace it?
