I really enjoy golf but don't get to play much these days. I played competitively in high school. We had a membership at Creeks Bend in Chattanooga. I'd play 90 holes/week in the summer, got my handicap down around 4. That was a long time ago. Now with 2 boys who want to come along, makes it an expensive hobby. My budget can't handle $150 for an afternoon very often. The utter lack of reasonable youth rates is very disappointing. The par 3 courses are the only ones I've found that are affordable. I tried to play 9 holes about once a month with a few guys at my old job. Haven't found anyone at the new job yet. The dog likes it when I hit the tennis ball across the yard with my 7 iron.

I remember that too, but not the details of the suit. The counter-point is they were not required to patronize that restaurant. Its not like the typical government buldings where you have no alternative. They chose to disarm and eat there. Choices have consequences. Don't misunderstand, I think the misdemeanor charge here is stupid. But I don't put much effort into looking for signs and push come to shove, the brown truck will bring most of the things I need to the front porch.

Meh, no cop likes paperwork so much as to arrest you for just that unless you get belligerent about it or otherwise make a nuisance of yourself. In which case its just piled onto disorderly conduct, trespassing, disobeying an officer, and so on..... Cops have better things to do as well.

My $0.02.... why bother? No one gets charged only with carrying past a sign. It's usually an add-on charge for people who've done something really stupid. I'd much prefer our legislator work on fixing problems of much greater significance, there's plenty to choose from.

I understand it being the busy season (is there a not busy season?), but you need to rest. One thing I've learned as I've gotten older.... trying to power through these kinds of bugs just prolongs the misery. Take a day or 2 and just rest, it'll help a lot. If it doesn't, see a doctor.

From my perspective, the comparison was always toward Israel's compulsory military service and the level of training/proficiency that permeates their society because of that. Simply comparing the number of guns and people doesn't make any sense.

We've still got a few. Two were fighting over our feeder in the front yard before the rain started today.

Who re-chambered it in .308?

How do you draw from that without muzzling everyone in the vehicle? Have they tested this to confirm the headrest still functions to prevent whiplash in a collision?

Anywhere you can find a place to park. Good luck.

Just use old fashioned mouse/rat spring traps baited with peanut butter. I've caught lots of mice and several rats with them. Walmart and any hardware store has them. There's several versions and manufacturers, but they all make the critters dead. They're cheap, easy, and effective. Glue traps catch other things you might not want to catch. Poison tends to flow upwards and kill the good critters that eat the rodents.

Is it a 5 day/week normal daycare or is it less than that? I ask because our church has a pre-school on site. But since it only meets 4 days/week, it's technically not classified as a "school" and so the school gun laws do not apply.

This was on our dorm room wall in college....

Dad and I built a bunch of wall shelves and a work bench in my garage before we moved in. It's way easier before it's full of stuff. I can assure you the garage will be full of stuff (not cars) for a while after you move. My bench is similar to David's except I used cabinet drawers under the counter top. I got the cheap white stuff at Lowes and it works fine. It's reinforced with plywood under the counter top.

Thanks for providing this community. I also read a lot more than I post these days.

Try putting some coyote urine around where you park the vehicles. Or just go pee there yourself.

We've had bird feeders my whole life, I really enjoy watching them. I feed sunflower and suet. In the last last few years I've slowed down how much seed I put out when natural food is plentiful so the birds contribute more to the cycle. For example, my feeders have been empty for about a month now. When it dries up or gets cold, I'll pick back up feeding. It only takes a day or two for the birds to discover I've refilled the feeders.

Beltman here as well. Worn the same belt daily for maybe 12 years. Its got some wear but still works fine.

Us too. Chased each other around on bicycles. Ever tried to run a pump air rifle while riding a bike?

How's recovery going?

Wow. No BB guns in the back yard in Nashville. That's pretty crappy. Though I'd guess (hope) you'd have to find a cop in the middle of a really bad day to get anything more than a lecture about it.

Reminder that transporting wildlife without a permit is also illegal. A big boy air rifle will kill them just fine and isn't a firearm. Or toss the trap in a big trash can full of water.
