  1. Yep, take cylinder out. I would use a screw driver. Tap with hammer until they come out.
  2. pictures are decieving, thought it was much bigger. Great knife
  3. Well right now only the secondary containment shell exploded. But to your point id say there is damage to the primary containment, at least on reactor #2. That was a large kaboom. I hope the Japanese government isn't hold back info and putting citizens in danger to save face.
  4. I'm not much for large fix blades, but that is awesome.
  5. '72 Remington 870, 30" barrel, full choke, shooting Remington 2 3/4 #5 turkey loads. I agree with Greg. I have used a benelli in the past with winchester supreme 3.5" that were turkey slayers, just don't have the gun anymore.
  6. This is a good tactic, but I would not recommend going to the house personally without LEO company. We have sent certified letters, this requires a signature and serves as official notice for law suits if needed
  7. I heard yesterday they are at emergency level 4, which means local imminent danger. 3 mile island was a level 5, which is a more broad danger of wider range, and Chernobyle was levers 7, Major Disaster
  8. I believe the reactors are junk now no matter what. They have been pumping sea water directly into the reactor to aid in preventing meltdown. Tis is what caused the hydrogen gas buildup that cause the explosion yesterday. The salt deposits and other by products form the sea will probably render the reactor unsalvageable. They are trying to prevent full melt down of the core. If the containment shell ruptures and the fuel rods come in contact with the water it will explode and send radioactive material airborn ( not to mention the explosion itself).
  9. Your only problem with video is power supply. Most home security cameras are built for outdoor use but are designed to be direct wired. Plus you have to have a very large hard drive to store continuous recorded video. With video your best option is time lapse, but again you have to store the hard drive, DVR, or VCR in a water tight box. Power with this option is best with a deep cycle marine battery. It works great, but is expensive to setup properly and is a pain to hide the recorder and battery. Plus recovering and reviewing data is time costuming. I personally would start with the small time lapse game camera posted above, give it a try and go from there. You also have to remember its not one single offender, it's many. Prosecuting one is not going to solve the problem, this is going to be an uphill battle for a while. There is a mindset and culture of dumping here that has to be changed before you can see real results
  10. I know it seems so simple and straight forward when thinking and talking about catching people, reality is a whole different story. Yea you can tape over the light, but you Have to be careful, some cameras have an exposure lens in the light area, which causes the daylight pictures to be overexposed. Plus black tape just makes it stand out, if anything use camo tape. I prefer cameras without the light at all.
  11. I like this option much better than traditional game camera. First off it's small and easy to hide, secondly it has no flash or in fared glow to give away it's location. Chances are the dumping is going on durning daylight hours anyway. Most rural dumpers don't feel like they are doing anything wrong. We have used these smaller cameras to some success, but we have also lot several to theft. Its just a game of chance, whether or not they see it. Some tips for mounting the camera. Mount it up high, out of natural line of sight. This can be a challenge to mount and still have a good angle to capture a license plate. You may have to engineer a way to insert a wedge behind the camera to help it point somewhat downward. plus if it is spotted it takes much more effort to steal or shoot. I would go mid morning to mount, depending on traffic patterns of the road, ie people going to work, seems 9-10am seems to be good times. A lot of the people who are dumping most likely are on government checks of some sort and will probably be roaming around if the weather isn't bad.
  12. Yeah safari land makes one similar the a lot of LE use. Hell, I oaf the notion you can never have too many holsters, just keep them. Plus selling used holsters is never a big money maker anyhow
  13. I agree with the notion that no teachers are livin high on the hog, but some do get pensions far too long. I still stand behind the fact that a 401k plan would serve both the teachers and state far better.
  14. I would keep one for range use, probably safariland, but for carry would get a custom leather.
  15. Neither the union or the state has skin in the game, its the taxpayer.
  16. Chances are it's multiple people, if you do chose to try a game camera, make sure it's positioned to get the license plate, sometimes faces are real unidentifiable. And don't spend too much, because eventually it will be gone!
  17. My company manages 150,000 acres on the Cumberland Plataue and Sequatchie valley. We have dealt with this very problem extensively. Just so you know we have put up between 30-50 cuddyback game cameras, per our clients directive, and have had all but 5 destroyed or stolen. Even with the infared camera the light still blinks to provide the night vision and only gives the location away. License plates are reflective so the only thing you get on infared picture is a glowing rectangle. If you truly want surelience I can get you in touch with some guys that will get you a system that works, but it will cost you between $2000-$4000. On a separate note, digital photos are not quality evidence in court due to the ease of editing such photos. We have gotten serval pictures of vehicles dumping and only one time have we got the local authorities to push the issue. And in that case the were made to come pick up only the trash they dumped. I know your neighbor is scared of being "burned out". I cannot count how many times I have heard that exact statement. I think most of the time it is just idle bullying that goes on all the time in these rural counties. If it were me I would not hesitate for a second to prosecute anyone I caught dumping. We (me and my coworkers) have been threatened numerous times, but when you actually geqt them in front of a judge the story changes quickly. The trouble is getting the evidence, and cooperation to prosecute. What has worked best for us is placing large boulders along road right-of-ways to prevent them from backing the pickup trucks up to the edge. Depending on the length it can take more than one dump truck load, and a track hoe to unload them, so easily running in the $1000 range for rock and labor. Local presence and vigilance is really the best option for catchin, prosecuting, and ultimately stoping this. Its a very tough task especially for landowners who live off site. As for clean-up ,after multiple years of trying to get counties to help, we have resorted to doing it ourselves. I agree with others though I would not alert TDEC to anything as you can be held responsible. Best of luck
  18. Nothing unusual about that
  19. I know you said Nashville, but if you're ever in Knoxville or Huntsville, Al go to Connor's, great shrimp and grits, with andouille sausage, for $13
  20. sorry, didnt realize
  21. State Trooper: "he said you tazed him in the Nuts" Raylan: "I did" State Trooper: "Nice" Haha, made me laugh
  22. Iwo Jima Relic - 1911Forum same story and post, different site, try this one
  23. gonna miss this one, I'll be in JC all weekend, hopefully I will be around for the next
  24. my hypocrisy knows no bounds I doubt you are going to find anyone appologizing. This argument is not transfereable across all topics. We hold our guns much more close to the vest than any other, and cycling sure does not have the public stigmata that open carrying guns does. In fact it may have the exact opposite of the spectrum. For the record I have no issue with open carry, AK or otherwise I knew there was know way you cared that much about riding a bike on a road. I thought "damn this guy has some unresolved issues"
  25. I think Jamie is the only one who thinks he has made a valid argument here. Mr Reed you have faught a good fight, I tip my hat to you.
