  1. Zoning? In east TN? :rofl:
  2.         I'll gladly extend the same courtesy to you.  :)
  3. I've read that simply looping a length of nylon rope through the wheel works to get one out of a pinch. 
  4. Send me the gun (or the money) and I'll make sure your wife never sees it.  :)
  5. I like #1 best followed closely by #3. For a daily carry type thing, all 3 seem a little big for neck knives. I'd think OAL would be closer 4-5". If it's more a bush knife, then I'd think they're about right.
  6. Talk to the Sullivan Co. Sheriff. As long as you've got a proper backstop, they should be fine with it. Noise complaints will be your biggest issue.
  7.     Amen.  I never get that lucky.
  8.     http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/85982-ice-quakes-cryoseism/
  9. Wonder if that's what I heard about 5:45 this morning?  My first thought was something just landed on my roof, but there's nothing above my house but air.  I walked around outside and didn't see anything.  I'll check in the attic when I get home this evening. 
  10. My wife just texted me a list of groceries to pick up on my way home.  Guess what the first 2 items are....  :D
  11. heh.... my oldest did a faceplant while sledding down the back yard yesterday.  Looked like he'd run through a briar patch. 
  12. I carry a Kershaw Cryo.  I got it for something like $18 off amazon.  Flipper, assisted opening, moveable clip, holds a razor edge... I'm quite happy with it.  That said, the ZT350 is an excellent knife and willis will do you right.
  13. The wind is supposed to pick up here today.... gusts to 30 mph.  Lots of trees are very heavy with ice, I bet there will be lots of power outages today, just in time for the really cold air to arrive.  :-\
  14. Thanks boss.  The reduced min width helps me when "stealth browsing" at work.  ;)
  15. Sounds like skirting the intent of the law.  I suspect that having magazines compatible with the rifle anywhere on your person would qualify as "present". 
  16. Valentine's Day gift from the wife. It's tasty. :yum:
  17.     I figured that was the biggest risk and I have prior experience with such things.... probably the scariest 2 minutes of my life....   In college I worked in a test lab at Maytag in Cleveland.  We ran all manner of tests and did development work on every sort of cooking appliance.  As you might guess, we had lots of the big 200 lb gas bottles full of propane and butane.  One winter day the truck had come to refill our empties.  A couple bottles got put up against the wall adjacent to our "endurance lab" which had a handful of ranges (gas & electric) running wide open at the same time.  It stayed about 150 deg in that room.    My workspace was about 20 ft away from the endurance lab.  I recall hearing BANG, WHOOSH, BOOM followed by the strong smell of gas.  The next moment was me and the guy in the space next to me saying "WTF was that?... You smell that?... S__T!  Turn everything off!!"  We both had gas ranges running and scrambled to shut the gas valves off.  It was lunch time and no one else was around so we didn't pull the fire alarm, though in hindsight we probably should have and then run for our lives.  We figured that if there was enough gas in the air for an explosion, we'd already be dead since there were open flames all over the place.    Our investigation showed that a butane bottle had been set with it's relief valve pointed toward an open door.  The tank warmed up, the relief valve opened, and the gas exiting the bottle slammed the door shut.  Thankfully it only blew down for about a second and didn't release that much gas.  That could've been really bad. 
  18.     I have the same heater and the adapter for a 20lb tank, but haven't used it with the bigger tank.  So it works pretty well that way?  I think I remember there being a bunch of warnings about using it indoors with a 20lb tank...
  19. How's accessibility?  I pocket carry in such situations because it seems like access in an undershirt like that would be slow at best. 
  20.     Heat pumps just don't work when the temp drops into the 20's or colder.  Hard to extract heat from 20 deg air.        Same here.  I made it in to work without any problems.  Some slick spots for sure, but passable and mostly just wet.  The re-freeze tonite should be interesting. 
  21. I just added black eyed peas and ham to the grocery list. I haven't had hoppin john in ages.
  22. As mentioned....  keep in mind that some types of stainless are non-magnetic.  Leaving the gun stuck to a strong magnet will make the gun itself magnetic over time.  Don't know that it would be enough to cause any ill effects, but in you might think it odd to see a paper clip sticking to it. 
  23. That looks like a tasty salad!
  24.     That's what bourbon is for.  :)
  25. Work told us to go home at about 11:45 this morning.  Roads were fine then, but there appears to be a good 1/4" of ice and it's still raining/sleeting steadily.  Should be pretty in the morning if the sun comes out.    Had to mop up a gallon or so of water out of the garage from all the ice that melted off my car.  I went back out there to get something and nearly stepped into a puddle in my sock feet.  :O
