  1. Yeah, that's the problem. I think for you and I it would be something like meeting in the Lebanon area and go from there. Or a couple of groups from different areas that meet in the middle for lunch.
  2. I looked at the 850GS and the Africa Twin before deciding to buy the Tiger 900. Mainly came down to weight. I wanted something I could take on light offroad and if needed lift myself. The other two are noticeable heavier. I didn't ride the Pan America, but it does have good reviews for the most part. I probably still wouldn't have went with it due to weight.
  3. Nice, we did a couple of TGO groups rides in the past. I would certainly be open to it when the weather warms up a bit.
  4. That's the underlying problem. It was changed for political purposes, not science reasons.
  5. It will be, but 4+ hours of driving every day would be worse IMO. You will meet people at work and around.
  6. You may be better off finding a economy motel to rent much closer. Gas alone and just the time is going to probably be more expensive than finding somewhere that is $50/night by the time you figure your real expenses. Rent by the month. A quick search shows a place called WoodSpring suites in Murfreesboro for $65/night. I would guess they will cut a deal for a longer stay. Wouldn't be a question for me. 15 minutes to work and probably save money in the long run. Just for argument sake, the drive will be a minimum of 2 hours each way, probably 2.5 hours with traffic.. 240 miles daily. with a 20mpg vehicle, you are looking at $36 and 4 hours per day, plus other expenses. I doubt it would take up much to make the difference.
  7. They have been around forever and owned the building. They aren't hurting.
  8. We can hope it can only get better from a management/arrogance standpoint. They always had a great selection, but prices and the general attitude have been terrible for years.
  9. Yeah, let's compare a complex scenario such as this to turning off the electric. Everyone does after action reports and they should be done, no one is saying they shouldn't . What I am saying is Joe Public sitting on his couch has no more credibility or background in most cases to have an opinion that even matters to the people who have to make decisions on policy and procedures based on real world experience. Everyone is welcome to their opinion. I am not saying police are always right, simply that all this "they should have" is ridiculous. It reminds me of people who always say, they should have just shot them in the leg. So, if you have the answers, go to your police department and help them out. I am sure they would be glad to listen.
  10. Sure, go to Minneapolis and these other places where police aren't needed. They decided what they wanted. That's working out great. I will take the cops who do the best they can and error on the side that protects them and the majority of citizens, even if that included shooting a crazy person every now and then. There are going to be tragic cases that happen. It's not fair to the person or the officers, but it is what it is.
  11. Easy to armchair quarterback when there are no repercussions to you personally. I am not a cop, but have worked with hundreds of police agencies from around the world. Everywhere is different, but one thing is for certain. There will always be someone who can tell you how to do your job better when they have never done it. I think of this video every time these discussion come up.
  12. Every one of you that have the answer to what they should have done should go sign up to to be a cop.
  13. Wiljo05 was looking, but thanks.
  14. Turn your phone sideways and it will show location if they have it listed.
  15. It's the twitter like site started by one of Trumps old advisors. A brand new social media platform founded on the principles of free speech, independent thought and rejecting political censorship and “cancel culture.”
  16. A buddy and I have been talking about buying one for years. They are crazy expensive. Gook luck in your search.
  17. Quick Load is great if you want to really know pressures, estimated velocities, etc. I use it when I am loading CF accuracy loads or if I am trying out different powders. For the guy who just wants to load some "target" rounds, a good reloading manual (or 3 as Greg says) is all you need. I suspect many of us have 4,5 or 10 laying around for cross referencing.
  18. Buy yourself at least one reloading manual. Not that this group isn't well established, but taking load data without some sort of reference to check is asking for trouble. There are all kinds of powder/primer combo's you can use, but spend $20 and just read and start to peruse loadings. You will learn something and be a lot safer about it. It concerns me when anyone says I was going to try something based on a completely different round.
  19. I just marked the site as read. My feeds will fill back up in no time like nothing happened.
  20. It’s for Rimfire Benchrest. Small and specialized compared to TGO. RimfireAccuracy.com
  21. I would like to have the option to delete my for sale posts. I usually remove any info in the listing anyway as I don’t like any more info about things I have or had out there anyway so wouldn’t help with future searches anyway. On the gun site I run we remove them after 4 weeks with no updates. Seems to work well for us but I can see both sides of it.
  22. Check out Chattanooga Rifle Club in Ooltewah.
  23. Society isn't failing these kids, their parents are.
  24. As dry as it was out there any accidental fire could have caused it. Especially with the winds as they were.
