  1. Hey David, I'm going to go into the past here. Remember the first(?) TGO shirts? Had the TGO/TN tri-star logo on the Chest. Had the "What part of shall not be infringed" on the back. Is there a chance we might see something similar again? Especially the chest logo. I wear this quite a lot and get the " where can I get one" question fairly often. Would it be a big seller now? I don't know, but I'd certainly like a couple more. I've got holes in mine from an old pair of suspenders. LoL. Just wondering.
  2. I was never a fan of Frank Herbert. Just didn't care for him. Tried reading Dune several times and just couldn't do it. Of course that was probably 25 years ago. But the idea of whole civilizations searching for, and fighting over giant worm dung just didn't grab me. These days...I might just have to try again.
  3. Might just have been my wifes' Dad. My father-in-law was the worst for this I've ever run across and taught me well. I've kept pieces of 2x everything! Pieces of plywood most people would burn! But best was the 2x10 ends cut from house rafters. We were cruising and found a job site with a full dumpster. Lord help me! We stopped and asked to go thru it for salvage. Got told to go ahead. We left with an 8' truck bed stacked and roped with all kinds of "scrap & treasure"! When he passed away, it took 4 of us to empty the shelves of his "Might need it someday" stash! LOL! I miss that man.
  4. Not to sound too poetic...but tomorrow will bring what you put into it. Work hard at living, pray, be optimistic. And stay with us. Prayers, my friend.
  5. This location is not for everyone...that's my pesonal opinion, and I'm stickin' to it. First not a typical range setup. I was just drooling over the prospect of having a range 8 miles from my door! Then found that it's more of a training academy than I wanted. Nothing wrong with that...but I can't utilize the setup. Leg issues require a cane. The instructor's first comment to me was something to the effect of...do you have to have that to walk and move? All but told me during the conversation that I couldn't use it. Secondly, and not a critizism...good selection of products. Yes, typical gun/specialty store high prices on almost everything. People seemed friendly enough, and knew more than I did, but that didn't take much. I haven't been in maybe 5 times since they opened. Just not the store for me.
  6. Been real happy with my Rossi 357 rifle. Bought it on impluse when Tad and I were in Knoxville some years ago to go to SMGW. Met a K-town member to look at some knives, and the next thing I know, I own a lever gun! LOL! I have to admit that is a gorgeous pistol, but have several Smith 357s and would be hard to justify buying another. However...that 3" is awesome looking! And I really do want to meet up with you sometime. It just always seems something happens to keep me away from you. Mabe I'm not supposed to...you probably would offer to sell me something I don't need!
  7. Good luck with that one! Still trying to justify the stack of boxes I haven't been able to hide!
  8. Yep. That just stopped my lusting for one right there! Smith always has some nice things!
  9. My late brother-in-law would have had this plastered on his truck, and at least one wall at home. Tad lived his like like this.
  10. If it's available...I'll take the Bullard holster and mag pouch, plus the Eagle Creek 48" belt. PM inbound.
  11. SWEET!!! I'd buy it! have had good times with my few Rossi revolvers! Heck! I'm a cheapo and would go as far as 300 for it! LOL.
  12. That's a gorgeous rifle!!
  13. Nice looking setup. Looks like the ideal for a novice AK guy, or one who just doesn't shoot every weekend. So far...I'm describing myself here. Got a badly done, camoed ( it came that way. I wouldn't do it) Polish underfolder that works for me. Had it 5+ years. Taken it out 2 times. Anyway, that's off track. I think this is a very nice package and anyone wanting to go the AK route would be well servrf by this rifle. If I didn't have mine...I'd be a potential buyer. I wish you a speedy sale sir.
  14. I found SISU late one night and couldn't stop watching. Bloody and rough. That covers it. Also interesting. Held me until the very end in the bank. That last scene was just perfect to end on!
  15. I'm a bit strange I guess. I've wondered about that.
  16. Isn't that just amazing! You buy a small car for a reason. Then try to load it like it's big truck! Some people just don't understand the concept of "volume" in a smaller space. Dangerous commet coming. My wife is one of those. She cannot judge the size of anything! No jokes please. She married me anyway,

    Birthday Gift

    A Happy Birthday wish for you!
  18. I think these were the same people loading 8' 2x2 crossways thru the back windows and dented my fender last year at Lowes!
  19. Bought one similar to this from Harbor Freight years ago. It's still one of the best buys I've made from them.
  20. And it's about time!
  21. Reminds me so much of my Molly. The poses that is. Molly loved to ride. Didn't care where we went, just got to get in the old truck and lean agains me or lay her head on my leg. She rarely hung out the window. That just didn't seem important to her. Lost her to cancer, not quite 2 years ago. Still hurts. I miss her running out to greet me. I just pray I'll be worthy enough to find her again in Heaven. That's all. If I look at more of these I'll be crying and have to explain it to my wife. But she understands.
  22. Never saw nor felt the need for me to own one. Did have the opportunity to fire one. Wasn't really impressed with it...but after have been around real sub-guns at shows; I thought myself a bit better informed than most touting the greatness of the bump-stock.
  23. "MAY???" LOL!
  24. Like you, I would really like a Trapper version...but if the price point is near what's mentioned here; I could be tempted for both. LOL!
