  1. Not that I have the balance necessay to ride one these days, but do have a question. You say it was bought for a woman. Could it be a gentleman's bike?
  2. Yeah, my experience with hot chicken had me eating ice cream when I got home. I think I went thru a gallon that afternoon. My wife just laughed and laughed. She can be cruel sometimes.
  3. You tempt me buddy! I do have one of these, but just because it was the first of the poly Canik line, to my knowledge anyway; it doesn't mean it's old or out of date. This model was the first Canik I bought, and thru all the different models, it is still very much a relavent pistol. It's not outdated. It's still quite like the current models. Minor changes have come, but this is the one that started the Canik buying for me, and many others. This is quite a fair price on thi pistol! If I weren't squeezing pennies right now...I would have it! And I still might...unless one of you guys goes for it! You won't go wrong here!!
  4. Yes! What Nick said! That's a beauty! I am both happy and sad that you are in Johnson City!
  5. That could well have been me a few decades ago. Guess which one! LOL!!!
  6. I do have a Detective. I've run maybe 50 rounds down the pipe. I origionally bought it for the novelty when I saw the ad. It is a nice, fun little pistol. Not sure of it's value. Came in a cardboard box I believe. I have seen promo articles stating that all three clone manufacturers are planning "Detective" copies.
  7. My late b-i-l was an aficianado of the hot stuff. Dipped his fries in Japanese Hot Mustard. Never seen him find a spice or "hot sauce/spicy food" he wouldn't eat and ask for more. The higher the heat rating the more he liked it. I don't know that he was trying to prove anything, but I do think he was a little crazy.
  8. Offtrack a bit, but my wife has an old 3 D-cell Maglight that her Dad gave to her. She loves it. And yes it can easily double for a club. I've tried to get her to try something lighter, but no dice. She loves it. Back in the old days, when we walked at dusk, it was always in her hand. Now resides by the door to blind anyone coming in.
  9. Call me a wimp, or something else if you prefer; but I've just never seen the attraction in intentionally burning out my taste buds. I prefer milder seasonings and more palatable foods. Flavor is one thing, but misery is another. Not saying no spices or seasonings at all, but I don't want to be miserable trying to eat my food. JMO
  10. Thanks for the link. Although I had seen this particular one, it did lead to several others that were interesting. Although they all say pretty much the same thing on this topic, they offered a more easily understandable commentary.
  11. Crap! Why can't you be in Nashville!!!!
  12. Thanks. I do appreciate the comments. Personally, I'm still holding out for the SA35.

    Bank Run

    For once...I don't have a pithy, humorous comment. I am worried as heck! If it all goes to hell in a handbasket, I think 50% or more of the population will explode and go absolutely stark raving mad within a month tops. I/we, have a little ready cash on hand. Undecided if having a large(r) amount is really worthwhile. A 4-6 month supply of foodstuffs if electricity doesn't collapse. A bit less on canned and dry goods. The more I see, hear, and watch...I think we just might be in the top 10% even with this small amount.
  14. Hmmm. I must be doing something wrong/right? I've never gotten a ban. Just the usual deletition of a post because I "Violate Community Standards." I really didn't know FB had any standards. Truely. Just read posts and replies on any number of things. And where's the violations for language on many of these ridicilous videos?
  15. Those of us liking nice, slick pistols will balk at these. Would be nice having one, but not at those prices. 200-/+ will buy you a new one. As for the P-10...well if i could get one at 400 OTD, I might take one. Otherwise, I just wasn't attracted to the FS model. Barely contained my like for the C model. CZ really disappointed me with the mag release on these.
  16. OK...I'm officially impressed! Like them, that's a given. Couldn't afford them. Also a fact. Doesn't change the fact that these are very much pieces of artwork!
  17. Beautiful knives! I go back and forth on these, but I agree with KahrMan...the Vortex is absolutely gorgeous! But...the Preytheon is sleek and deadly looking. A quick search didn't have me finding these 2. Limited runs? I'd say they are probably beyond me at the moment anyway. lol But I enjoy looking at them and wishing I were blessed with unlimited funds instead of unlimited wants.
  18. I think I bought an extended warranty once...once. LOL.
  19. Of late, my sale/buy source is TGO. If I know you, just about anyplace is cool. Otherwise, local PD parking lot is my choice. Interesting, at least it was to me, side comment. Several years ago I called the PIO at local station and asked about "meets" there. I was told some had designated areas, others just asked you to park in high visibility area that could be seen. Aside from the trepidation many of us had fearing cameras and recordings of people selling, it's really not a bad idea.
  20. Not terribly expensive at all. Got mine at Home Depot. IIRC, a little mercury sensor opens and closes the vents according to temperature.
  21. Yeah, I could go for that!
  22. I just read all this again. I realize just how foolish I have been in the past. Done a few buys that I really shouldn't have, in locations I had absolutely no business going. Worse yet, some at dusk, even dark. I have been watched over for a long time. I've done some really stupid things. More recent years, David's advice has been a guide. TGO first, Daylight, Known people and area. And I've done my last long distance trip for a deal. Done Memphis once and Knoxville twice. However, in my defense, I did have a rider/guard along(Does wife count?) I'm getting too old to do this stuff anymore. Which is why I like this place and people.
  23. Yes, they do. Recently they've gone to scheduling pickups(or at least try to) in the afternoons, and expecially on Saturday morning. Don't p*** off Lauren! She'll make you sit in the corner and wait!
