I'm sorry, but I don't see that as a problem.

Jason's work is simply stunning.

Source for blade steel in Knoxville/east TN?

KMG definitely deserves their position in the hierarchy but Travis Wuertz also has a pretty killer grinder. http://www.traviswuertz.com/ -
it looks bigger than it is. They only get to about a foot in length. Still big but not as big as it looks in that picture.

This isn't new. Cars from the 20s look alike. Cars from the 30's look alike. Cars from the 40's look alike and so on and so on. What changes is your level of caring. You don't care about the cars so you don't take the time to learn the small design details that tell you one from another. I think this is true of everyone and not just you. And its not just limited to cars. I bet most non gun people would say the same thing about all polymer pistols or about CZ75s, HiPowers and 1911s.

No, they never see inside of a cell because of deals from lawyers.

Just messing with you bubba. You know how I feel about this.

Glad it ended well for you. I installed a door kit from Armor Concepts (TN Company) a couple of years ago and have been happy with it. https://armorconcepts.com But there is still more I'd like to do. Mostly, I know that a determined thief will get in no matter what so my focus now is going to be on cameras. I want to make sure that if someone does get in, I have as much video as possible to try and help catch them.

I think I already told you that we are converting our warehouse as the ballasts blow.

Cool that you set this up. I bought mine about a year ago from a TN company called Armor Concepts. -
So it's about disrespecting the flag and the anthem to y'all, huh? How many times have you stopped somewhere that was flying the flag and took their ratty flag down to properly retire it? Maybe you didn't go that far but you made it a point to talk to the management about proper flag etiquette. I bet the answer is fewer than 10. I've talked to lots of management, and even replaced some flags at my own expense. No, I didn't serve but I had great reverence for the flag and what it stood for growing up. And although my idea about this country has greatly changed, I still have that reverence for the flag in more of an idealistic way. I still don't think the players are doing anything disrespectful but apparently that is subjective.

A friend posted this on Facebook today. It’s relevant to the last few posts. “ First of all, I want to make clear that I always show respect to the flag and have never done anything to defile one. I stand for the anthem, remove my hat. I always will. However, what makes America great is our freedoms. It may be tacky, but it's peaceful and protected first amendment speech. How better to honor our veterans than to exercise the rights, freedoms, and liberties they fought for? And if you don't stand up for the right of everyone to free speech, especially speech you find offensive, one day you may lose your rights to free speech. The point of this post is this: I keep seeing on my feed people putting down these athletes calling them all kinds of negative names and saying they have nothing positive to contribute to society, that they are whiny, spoiled rich a-holes. To that I say I did a bit of research (and I keep up with the nfl year round as if it were my job) and found that these ungrateful scumbag thugs are some of the most charitable people in America, year in and year out for a long, long time. Just from my team alone I found brian orakpo, who raises money and awareness for the leukemia and lymphoma society, sent supplies and help to hurricane Harvey survivors, and has programs in Africa for youth drug awareness and prevention, etc; jurrell casey, who founded the Casey fund, a non profit dedicated to raising money for inner city youth programs, halfway houses, mentoring, and re-entry programs (from prison), helps raise money for big brothers, big sisters of middle tennessee, etc; logan ryan, who founded the ryan animal rescue foundation for dogs with his wife, etc; delanie walker, who is a spokesman for mothers against drunk driving (MADD) and helped lobby for in-car breathalyzers for repeat DUI offenders, has gone on more than one USO tour to support the troops, started the delanie walker gives back foundation which helps inner city and low income kids with educational opportunities and resources like college scholarships, new books for 160 Nashville area classrooms, brand new library for 32 schools, etc; the Mccourty twins raise awareness and money for sickle cell research, etc. This is just a few guys from one team. All 32 have similar stories and each year I see multiple teams host a free thanksgiving meal to area homeless and needy, with the rich, spoiled brat, losers actually serving the food and cleaning up. The guy who started it all, colin kaepernick, has sent millions of tons of food and water to famine ravaged Somalia. Stars like odell Beckham jr. (those who know me know I'm not a fan) fly on their own dime and time to visit with kids in hospitals with all kinds of terrible ailments. My final point: just because these players didn't choose the form of protest you preferred doesn't mean they are savages. Just because you don't agree with their politics doesn't mean they aren't a positive force in their communities. Just because you don't make millions to play a game doesn't mean they haven't worked very hard and made lots of sacrifices. Boycotting is fine if that's what you want to do, but these players have every right to exercise their first amendment rights. No one is saying you have to agree.”

It's not meant as disrespect. They have a problem with something that is happening in our country, and are trying to raise awareness. Kap took a knee in order to get people to ask the question, so he could make a point. It was a well thought out method of raising awareness. What is disrespectful is allowing police officers to kill someone because they wanted to buy a little weed, or they didn't pay a city tax on a single cigarette. That's disrespectful. Its disrespectful that an officer can shoot a man for getting out his wallet after telling him to get out his wallet. That's disrespectful. You even have a good number of veterans, going back to WWII supporting these athletes. Those old guys didn't even choose to serve. They were drafted to die and yet they don't feel disrespected. This is much ado about nothing that will continue to divide us. We can't even say the pledge right now because it isn't true. "...one nation, indivisible, with justice and liberty for all." That's a blatant lie.

Where was this outrage before Kap took a knee? I just searched back through all of the threads and couldn't find a single one where one of you complained about the players dancing with their hands inside their pads or doing stretches or warm ups during the anthem instead of standing how you think they should? How far does your patriotism go? Am I supposed to be standing with my hand on my heart when I watch it on tv? This whole thing is stupid. All sides of it. Also, I'm glad y'all are choosing to not support the NFL anymore, if that's what you feel is necessary. But I urge you to remember that there are thousands of people, if not tens of thousands that are going to feel this well. People that work at TV stations behind the scenes making modest salaries. People that work at the stadiums will feel this. People that work for the teams in front offices, etc. There are tons of people, with no control over these protests, that will feel your boycotts long before you affect the bottom line of the millionaire players or billionaire owners. And I have to throw this in. WHY do we have the anthem at the beginning of every sporting event? This really doesn't make sense. If we are thanking vets or ancestors for our freedoms to enjoy something pointless, why don't we have the anthem before every movie at the theater or concert? I don't understand.

Or was this Cummins?
