  1. I'll 2nd what @Murgatroy and @analog_kidd are getting at. I spent 7 months living 37 miles northwest of my job. 45 mins to get there at o'dark thirty and 60-90mins to get home. Into the sun both ways. My car got 37 mpg, so that helped with the fuel expense but it still got old real fast.
  2. Yep. They're designed such that the tension in the wires helps stabilize them. They are less stable if the wires come down. They're also design for some ice load, so they can support additional weight, but putting any sort of shelter will increase the wind load dramatically, likely with unpleasant results. Then there's lightning to think about...
  3. Welcome! Thanks for your service. Love some nice milsurps.
  4. We take ours to Fairview Animal Hospital here in murvul. We've been pretty happy with how they've taken care of our geriatric dog. I'm no vet, but I think surgery is about all they can do for hips. It's not cheap.
  5. Keep in mind that all the above only applies to TN. If you travel to other states, you have to obey the laws wherever you are.
  6. Welcome! I lived in Church Hill for about 8 years, it's beautiful up there.
  7. I was thinking of "what's her name" at TDOS that seems to be both knowledgeable and helpful with all things HCP related.
  8. They were separate when I did it 10 years ago. Why not call the DOS and ask?
  9. What's the SCFM rating for the horns?
  10. Nah, "forgetting" the bipod just means he has to go back tomorrow...
  11. I think was Sam is getting at, and I agree, is you could ditch the 1.5gal tank and T off the outlet of the 12gal with a regulator dialed to 125psi to supply your horns, etc.
  12. If I recall, you do have to go online and update your address. But you can keep a printed copy of the address correction with your permit and not have to get your actual permit updated until renewal time.
  13. Generally you have to mail order a colony of bees to get a hive started. I'm also fascinated by bees and would like to have a hive or 3 myself. But as mentioned, it's seems like a fair amount of work and I don't think I'd have the time necessary to care for them.
  14. They keep trying, but the weathergasm just hasn't quite happened yet.
  15. Dealers.... yeah. In my experience, the majority of them are marginally useful. It's pretty common to have to travel hundreds of miles get what you want. There are no dealer networks and they generally won't move bikes around or make any effort to find a specific bike for you like car dealers do. You've got to do all the work to find what you want and go get it. "Fly-and-ride"... The XT is a very simple bike and OEM parts are readily available online. Anyone with even modest wrenching skills can easily accomplish the typical maintenance tasks. A factory service manual and YouTube are all you need. If its a brand new bike, I wouldn't ride it back either. Droning down the highway is not a good way to break it in. It'll ride just fine diagonally across the bed. Put it on the side stand, 2 straps on the handlebars and 2 on the passenger pegs pulling down and forward. Stop after the first 10-15 minutes and retighten as necessary. Good to go.
  16. Check in on the XT forum, I'll say Hi there... http://www.xt225.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=cfrm Ive got an '06 225 and have been very happy with it. As for hauling it, I'd guess it'll fit with the bike diagonally and steering at full lock, but the rear tire will sit on the tailgate. I doubt you'll be able to fit the bed extender around it. As long as you've got a couple straps pulling forward and down, it'll be fine. Renting or borrowing a small trailer is also a good option, I have one. The bike is light enough that you could also use a hitch hauler without much issue as well.
  17. Perhaps the pharmacy world is different, but in my experience the school only matters getting the first job. After that, work experience is far and away the biggest factor. Where you got the piece of paper only matters if the person doing the hiring has one from the same place, and even then it doesn't necessarily mean a lot. I understand the Daddy/daughter thing. One of my coworkers has both daughters in college in Alabama. He drove there and back in a day to fix some rinky-dink problem with one of their cars. To which my answer was ... "she's in freakin' engineering school! Tell her to figure it out and fix it yourself." He just smiled. I'm thankful for boys.
  18. With those grades, I'd seriously look into other schools (if you haven't already). That seems plenty good enough to get way more than "a fraction of the overall cost". At the end of the day, she'll have the same piece of paper as every other PharmD out there. My grades weren't as good as hers and I got paid to go to grad school. Granted it wasn't pharmacy school, but still.
  19. What you're calling "deceptive marketing practices" is what everyone who rents cars regularly calls "normal". Yes, they take advantage of every opportunity to try to screw customers out of every penny they can. It's called business. The uninformed pay more, sometimes a lot more. Another reason to book online, you have time to read the fine print. Though it's a fun way to piss off a desk agent... ask them for a full print out of the contract before you sign and proceed to read it, in detail, while standing there. Ask them questions about what things mean (they won't have a clue). Not that I've ever done that.
  20. Check the Alabama laws, they may be similar to TN in that you can't be criminally charged for illegal possession if you use a firearm in justifiable self defense.
  21. The boss is right. TN DL = TN HCP. If shes not getting an AL DL, she's not formally a resident even if she has an address and is paying rent/utilities in AL.
  22. I saw too much oil gum up firing pin channels and result in light primer strikes in cold weather. It was 29 deg when we started the shooting portion of my HCP class. Two Sigs were DOA, one being the girl standing next to me.
  23. I'd guess a "reduced recoil" spring set, improperly installed spring/guide rod, or bent/damaged guide rod.
  24. Either pocket in a Desantis Nemisis or belt in custom leather holsters.
