Great, Then the next time you are in Walmart, don't buy your favorite brand of something. Go ahead and get that other brand. We wouldn't want to show favorites. See how silly that sounds? We should all be able to make choices for whatever our reasons are. I'm sick of how this country says we have to be tolerant of everyone. We'll if that's true, then absolute tolerance should tolerate someone else's intolerance.

We had a little chat and I told him he had issues with "Boundries". The gun never came out of my pocket, and nobody else saw it but him, so it's my word against his. If it comes up at with my boss, I'll not admit anything other than this wierdo tried to feel me up, and oh, by the way what are you going to do about that?

Just went to Gander Mtn in Knoxville, and they had plenty of ammo on the shelf. I went looking for .380 and was able to score some. I had almost forgot what it looked like. They had the 50 count FMJ for $20, some SD Hollowpoints for $24, and a big 100 count box of JHP for $69.

What will the Nobel people do after he has made peace with the world, but brought Civil War to the US?

Albert Gore Jr. (2007) What'd he ever do for "Peace"

In other news, the Nobel Prize for Science went to little Jimmy Smith of Podunkville for his amazing Volcano display. Nobel = Joke

I have one 1983 and one 1984 edition of the Shooters Bible Firearm reference. I know they are pretty old, but it's fun to look up your guns and see what they were worth 25 years ago. I'm not really interested in shipping them anywhere, but if you can come to Oak Ridge, I'll be happy to meet you. If interested, PM me and I'll give you my cell phone #

No problem. They are good folks there too.

We join the President as he wakes up one morning... Yawn! Wow, I still can't believe I'm the President of the free world. I wonder what I'll do today? Maybe I'll close Gitmo like I promised. Naw, that doesn't sound like any fun. Maybe I'll work on Iraq, and get started bringing home the soldiers like I said I would. Or, maybe not. I know, maybe I'll try to find Bin Laden and fix Afganistan. Umm, that sounds too hard, think I'll pass. Ohh, maybe I'll fix unemployment. Boring! Wait, didn't someone say something about the economy being in the crapper? Wish I knew something about economics. I Know! I'll save the fish. Michelle, get up and get me that phone....

Not sure if my "employer" has a policy or not, but the "place" I work at most certainly does. I'm a subcontractor. Anyway, I was way off-site, and I don't think that would be a problem. At the most, I may get a "What's that all about" from my boss.

I used to do computer work for the Amputee Coalition of America (ACA). They are located in Knoxville around Summit Hill. I think they help get amputees help, prosthetics, support, etc. Whatever they need.

I've heard that rubber-banding a coffee filter over the intake hose does a good job. They are light and cheap.

Several co-workers and I went to Knoxville today for some computer training. We're all standing around before class, I'm fixing myself a coffee. One of my co-workers, who can never even for a minute be serious, decides he's going to be funny and try to pretend to steal my wallet. Only problem was the pocket he went for had my KelTek in it. I keep in in a Desantis Pocket Holster, and it looks kind of like a wallet, which is one of the reasons I carry it and carry it there. Well, he just sort of grabbed at it, not really wanting to take it out. I swung around, said something like "WTF" and pushed him away. When he realized it wasn't my wallet, I could see the look of puzzlement turn into a look of realization. The look was priceless. He didn't know I carried. Then to make things worse, out of shock he shouts out "What, is that a gun in your pocket". IDIOT! I gave him a dirty look, glanced around to see who heard, I figure maybe one other. I told him to shut up and keep it to himself. Later I overheard him mentioning it to someone else. So, now I've lost my inconspicuousness (sp?) and I'll probably be the talk of the office for a while.

Yep, there's the gun hatin' Mayor of Oak Ridge, Tom Beehan.

I've never been to either, but there is one in the Catoosa Wildlife Management area near Crab Orchard, and there is one in the Royal Blue WMA near Jacksboro. From what I hear, both are free. Not sure about accessability during hunting season.

That's how we do it here in Oak Ridge. We elect the city council, and then they decide from amongst themselves who should be mayor and vice mayor. I hate it!

Yeah, you both make way more sense than my post. Note to self: check out this Google thing everyones talking about.

I't a nickname for the club. Something like Sacremento Area Motor Cycle Redwood Originals (SAMCRO)

Well here is an interesting turn of events. Wonder if this is for real or if he is just blowing smoke? Moseley pulls away from recall effort leadership; cites need to 'protect' family - Oak Ridge, TN - The Oak Ridger

Yes, two cups per pouch. I have a little Soda Can Stove and some alcohol fuel packed in there too, with a large metal cup to boil water in. Each pouch says "serves two", which may be true in an emergency situation, but after a full day of backpacking, I can easily down a whole one. They are packaged in a metalic kind of material with a ziplok seal at the top. Just pour in boiling water, zip it up and let it sit a few minutes. Eat it right out of the pouch and throw it away when done. No clean-up!

Our Walmart sells them for around $5 a pouch, which is cheaper than I've seen anywhere. Of course, they only have Lasagna, Beef stew, and Scrambled eggs.

Just picked up a SOG Seal Pup this weekend at Smoky Mountain Knifeworks near Sevierville. That place is swesome! The knife looks and feels very solid. Feels good in my hand. The only thing I didn't like was the made in Taiwan label. I was expecting this thing to be 100% USA. The salesperson tried to spin it off as "Well, it's just assembled there. Besides, Taiwan is one of our closest allies, and we have a treaty to protect them if China invades, blah, blah, blah." Whatever, I know he just didn't want to lose a sale. I had already made up my mind to buy is anyway.

My plan for food is to use the Mountain House freeze dried packs. I go backpacking several times a year, so I'm just going to buy a new pack before I go on my trip and replace it for the oldest one in my BOB. I'm writing my purchase date on the pack with a Sharpie marker so I know which one is the oldest. I'm sure the Ibuprofin in my BOB won't last past the experation

Well said!!!

Sadly, I think they will be exempt from this law if it passes. I think all Federal sites will still be able to ban firearms in cars. Which, I still don't understand how "the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" does not apply to them. They are the government, and are infringing on my ability to "keep" a weapon locked in my vehicle, which prevents me from "bearing" it if need be on my way to and from work.
