I carry in church as well. And my church recently decided to have a cop on duty through the typical Sunday services.

Wow.

Good for you!  I'll be having that same birthday of significance fairly soon.  I'm quite sure my blood work won't be better than it was 15 years ago, but hopefully it'll be better than it was last year.  Your cholestrol numbers are quite good.  Mine got as high as 248 but it's come down to just over 200 for the last couple years.  I've been watching my diet, exercising regularly this year, and have lost a few pounds.  I'm hoping to break the 200 mark this year.  Getting back to regular exercise certainly has helped me generally feel better. 

Too much oil?  In my experience, blowback guns get dirty real fast, particularly .22's.  Excess oil turns the residue into goo that gums up the works.  If you can't find any obvious wear issues, trying running a little less oil. 

Had that deal been a 9 instead of a .40, there's a distinct possibility my wife would be rather annoyed with me at the moment.  Well, more so than usual.  :)   I've handled a couple and liked the feel, but never shot one. 

    So that's what the kids call it these days....   :dirty:

    I was tempted too.  But Glocks break too.  :panic:

I've never done it, but the info says 900ft elevation gain on the way out.  225 ft/mi isn't that much unless you're used to walking on the greenbelt.  Fairly tame by Smoky's standards.  Looks like there's several creek crossings... take some sandals or old sneakers to change into so you don't have to worry about your boots getting soaked.  If the water is moving faster than a walking pace, cross while facing upstream.  Unfasten any buckles on your pack so you can drop it easily if you fall in. 

    Because desalination plants are expensive and by necessity, they must sit on prime beach-front property.    Plus it's easier to whine about lines drawn on maps 200 years ago than to actually do something constructive.           I didn't realize they're as far along with desalination as they are...  http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_25859513/nations-largest-ocean-desalination-plant-goes-up-near   Expensive?  Certainly, but so is life without water.  Why not raise the sales tax to fund it?  That's what we do here... 

A magazine I got from my Dad had an article about a bear's sense of smell.  The comment was something to this effect...   You can smell the beans cooking over the camp fire from 100 yds away.  Your dog can smell them while they're still in the can.  A bear can smell the perfume worn by the lady who packed them in the can 6 months ago, from a mile away. 

Wonder what all those property tax dollars got used for instead of ensuring the infrastructure was up to the task when they granted all those building permits?  CA has all the water it could ever possibly need.  They merely need to look further left.  Atlanta is in the same pickle, except the ocean is a tad further away. 

    The new law states you can sue your former employer for false termination, as you were engaging in an activity that's otherwise legal.  Note that it only says you can sue, it doesn't say you'll win. 

Get it fixed. Stuff breaks. Or send it to me for disposal. :)

    You expected the law to make sense?  :rofl:         You are allowed to have on your person while in the car on school property.  I highly doubt you'd get any flack for transferring the gun from "on your person" to "secured" (and vice versa) while sitting in your car in the parking lot as long as you weren't terribly obvious about it.  One could also argue the semantics regarding the difference between "temporarily stopped" and "parked".  If that really bothers you, do the transfer across the street, then go park. 

Stop by the nearest sporting good store and pick up a stone or one of those little pocket sharpeners... should be only about $10... and leave it in your suitcase for the next time.  Likely won't get it back to shaving sharp, but should return it to service. 

Perfectly serviceable.    It's possible to build your own for a little less if you shop various sales (and they go together like legos), but if you want a complete rifle they're hard to beat. 

    Same as Ferguson... I bet a large number of the rioters/looters/scum don't live in Maryland, much less Baltimore proper. 

    Thanks, its my first AR.  I can see my BUIS through the PA red dot pretty well (lower 1/3 co-witness).  It would be nice to have some magnification to aid accuracy, but I'm not a good enough shot for that to matter a whole lot.  Minute of paper plate at 200 or so would suit me fine.      Does your butt stock have the storage compartment?  Mine does and it's cavernous...   I can easily fit two 10 rd stripper clips in there and can squeeze a 3rd in there if I don't need to get them back out in a hurry.  :D   Adding a little weight to the stock helps offset the nose heavy nature of forward mounted scopes.  Balance is more important than overall weight. 

    That's the thing with photos and photographers...   I sat here for a good 3 minutes mulling over whether or not to post that last one.  It's my least favorite.  I thought I framed it reasonably well with the fence, trees, and a touch of sky... but, I dunno...  I got frustrated futzing around with the colors.  I quit and started over 3 or 4 times and it still doesn't seem "right" to me.  But I've heard that from a more than a few other photogs... photos they thought were distinctly "meh" are the ones that others seem to love. 

A friend sent this to me this morning. I know it's wrong, but I can't stop laughing. That aside, he/she can do what ever he/she wants. None of us would know anything about this if it weren't for the TV show.

Took the kids on a little hike in the GSMNP yesterday. Forgot the real camera so I took a few shots with my phone. Fiddled around with the camera app editing software to give them a "vintage" look while grilling hot dogs after we got back home. Thought they turned out fairly well....

Copycat! ;) Nice rifle. Mine is the TGO lower, PSA upper, Cavalry Arms C1 buttstock, Primary Arms red dot. It wears a Hogue pistol grip now and a USGI sling. I love the way it handles but unfortunately I'm yet to get it sighted in.

We planted half of it 2 weeks ago and the other half (except the okra) this weekend. The beans, peas, and lettuce are already sprouting. Hopefully we'll have a good yield this year.

:rofl:
