  1. If they were in the house at the time, I'd add a couple counts of attempted murder to the list.
  2. You're doing everything right. Go slowly and carefully. You'll get a little more comfortable with it (and dry fire practice helps), but a little fear is a good thing, it helps keep you from getting complacent. The only other option is to remove the holster, insert the gun, and then put the holster back on.
  3. What Vick got into was terrible, he served time for it, and appears (on the surface) to be a better person for it. The big difference between him and Colin is that Vick actually has talent.
  4. Bird shot is absolutely NOT harmless. Should someone happen to be looking up at the time, they could easily lose an eye. I've been peppered by stupid dove hunters from a couple hundred yards away. I had a handful of little welts on my arms and the back of my neck.
  5. Snack something, Can of sterno, lighter.
  6. Gotta be a local policy or uninformed employees. The brown truck has brought me boxes of all manner of goodies.
  7. 55, heck yeah! That's cooking along pretty good. He's got some monster gear to be pedaling it at that speed.
  8. My brother in law is also an author. He does lots of signings and the whole point is to sell books. It would seem quite odd to not have cash and carry stock on hand.
  9. Thanks, we picked up about 30 lbs of bass and catfish from a local fishing guide this evening. That should last a week or so. Also took the kids fishing and caught a handful of bluegill, they had a big time. Well, except for when my youngest caught himself . But he pulled the hook out before I got there and a bandaid made it all better.
  10. Hard to get a sense of how fast they're going, looks like maybe 40 or so. It's obvious the bikes are loafing along, bored enough to pull over and wait for the traffic to clear, I've gone faster than 40 downhill on a bicycle and have been held up by cars poking along. After riding all the way up that hill, I'd darn sure want to have some fun on the way down.
  11. Only with the 4 cylinder single cab or the short bed. What good is a 5 ft truck bed?
  12. Hi folks, I need the help of a few good fishermen (or fisherwomen). My wife works with a wildlife rehabilitator helping injured birds at Upstate Birds of Prey . They've currently got a young Osprey named Oz. He got tangled up in some wire as a chick and ended up with some nasty wounds to his legs. Osprey are typically fairly difficult to rehab because they generally don't eat in captivity. OZ isn't your typical Osprey, he eats like a teenager. He doing great and and his legs are healing nicely, but it's proving difficult to come up with enough fish to feed him. https://www.instagram.com/p/BJjfaD-AMEe/ If any of you would be willing to donate your catch to help feed Oz, we'd greatly appreciate it. He'll eat most any sort of panfish, sunfish (brim, bluegill, crappie, bass...), or small catfish. If you've got some fish you'd like to donate, please call Upstate or PM me and we'll come pick them up. They can be fresh or iced. Thanks!
  13. If only any of them would offer a manual transmission in something other than a stripped 4 cyl or $80,000 diesel.....
  14. I've had the former, though at about 1/3rd the pay, and it really sucks. You can't ever get away from it... nights, weekends, vacations... it never stops. It wears you down really quickly. I had bosses that probably were at the $150k mark who worked more than I did, one quit counting after 120 hrs. I was happy to escape that life.
  15. Yep.
  16. Because that's exactly what it is.
  17. Sucko. Bad bearing I would guess. I hope they're serviceable, unlike the bearings in my front diff.
  18. True. You've got to live within your means, whatever they may be. But, would you rather have a $150,000 job where you work 80hrs per week and hate every second of it, or a $35,000 job you can't wait to get up and go to every day?
  19. True. I didn't read far enough down the page... And interesting. I wonder why the ACLU hasn't made a stink of that.
  20. Money ain't everything. Do what you like and be happy.
  21. Right vs Privilege being the operative difference. Gun ownership is a right, driving a car is a privilege. What if a slander conviction resulted in losing your right to free speech for a year? What if having a fake ID resulted in losing your right to vote for a year? Even felons in prison still get to vote.
  22. It's a very light duty truck, an SUV or minivan without the enclosed cargo area. Honestly, the vast majority of truck owners who very rarely ever use their truck like a truck would be well served by a Ridgeline.
  23. Best I recall, there's 2 different types of slide/extractor. If yours doesn't have the "frankenbolt" then it would need a new slide. I'd call Keltec and see what they say about fixing it.
  24. I think the issue is adjacent property. How am I supposed to know if the next guy over is baiting? If I'm on the edge of my property with my back to the property line, there could be bait 50 yards behind me and I'd have no way of knowing that.
