  1. I know why you like Rimsky-Korsakov.  :wave:   I actually found Scheherezade performed by the Royal Philharmonic on CD several years ago.  Not quite as good as when we did it, but close.  ;)   My musical tastes are also quite varied.  Metal, jazz, folk, classic rock, bluegrass, big band, blues, classical, prog, (even some rap).    Given today's business climate, a little spirit lifting is definitely necessary from time to time.  :up:
  2.     Woodcraft maybe?  They have small pieces of nearly everything and might be able to get bigger ones.  Pricey though.   Look up a local boat restoration shop.  I'd expect a shop that does work on old wood boats would know where to get teak.
  3.     Every time my wife sees a newer model truck that's been lifted with all sorts of accessories, she says.... "compensating for something, are we?"
  4.     Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Advil (ibuprofen) at the stated doses are fine, assuming she's never had problems with them before.    (I'm not a doctor either).    Caffeine withdrawal is known to cause headaches, and given her caffeine intake (coke + tea +excedrin), that's not a surprise.  Many years ago I got to where I couldn't really function without caffeine.  I decided that wasn't a happy place to be so I stopped drinking it.  The ensuing couple weeks weren't a great deal of fun, but I felt better after.  Now, the only caffeine I get is by drinking a coke maybe once/week plus whatever fractional amount is in decaf tea. 
  5. Notice that you never see the rifle actually shooting.  Who's to say he's even shooting a Mosin or it's even him doing the shooting.  Could be another guy with another rifle off camera doing the shooting.  The report seems pretty wimpy as well, but that could be the microphone in the camera.  The trail is visible for several of the shots. 
  6. I'm a wanna be carpenter.  I enjoy it, but I'm not very good at it.  Dad is a good carpenter.  He's gotten into turning and makes some pretty cool stuff on his lathes.    As for wood.... I'd also suggest you look up local saw mills and see what they've got.  Without paying a fortune for it, I suspect you'll have to get rough sawed lumber and go from there yourself.  A local custom cabinet maker might be able to point you toward a source or two. 
  7.     Interesting.    Not sure I'd survive without my morning cereal.  Eggs & bacon sounds good but I doubt the wife and kids would appreciate me banging around in the kitchen to fix that at o'dark thirty.  I've got 2 young kids so there is no real rationing of milk.  They drink tea and water but we still go through about 2 gal/wk.  I'm anxiously awaiting garden season and really hoping for a better year than last year.  The garden reduces my grocery bill significantly.  My wife loves baking bread, but she typically makes various types of "artisan" breads.  Don't know that she's ever made regular sandwich bread. 
  8. I'm interested in lucky #13, but that's highly dependent on the price.
  9. Depends on whether I've got a kid on my back. If not, it's the usual .45 on my belt. If so, the .380 in my pocket. I usually carry bear spray too.
  10. Bring it! Was a typically stupid omission from the wine on grocery stores law that just passed.
  11.   Care to share how you pull that off?
  12. To the OP... before we had kids, $250-$300/mo.  After kids.... I quit keeping track because I don't want to know.            Keep the bread in the fridge.  You'll get at least another week out of it.  If you find it on sale, buy a couple loaves and freeze them.          :stunned:      :eek:       :panic:        :cry:           Wow.    My wife appears to collect coupons.  We have a large stack that she cuts out of various ads.  Periodically, I go through that stack and throw away the expired ones.  She may actually use more coupons than I think, but it's nothing like what your wife does.  That's seriously impressive.  :up:
  13. Send the trigger group to Kivarri, you'll be astounded at the difference.
  14. Got a Shield 9 for the wife.  Darn sweet shooting little 9mm.  POI is a little to the left for me, but its fine for her and easily fixed regardless.  Next time PSA runs a sale, get one.

    Club comparison

    Crossville and Athens are both pretty small towns.  I'd say Athens is a little bigger, but not by much.  Since Crossville is up on the plateau, it's a bit  cooler year round.  That means more snow/ice in the winter but not quite so hot in the summer.  I know zip about their gun clubs and will echo wk05's comment about ORSA. 
  16. Chalkboard paint... interesting.  :up:
  17. Sheesh... who wouldn't want an SKS-M? 
  18.     Apparently a 16 yr old can be a blood & guts loon... http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/04/09/franklin-regional-students-reaction/7510627/   Strange times indeed.

    Bikes.... Photography....
  20. Looks nice!
  21. Shouldn't need to use the brakes much at all. Shift to a lower gear and maintain a steady pace. The majority of vehicles will generate at least 0.7g cornering force. The majority of drivers chicken out at about 0.4g.
  22. Glad she's feeling better.
  23. You should get one and verify that for us. :)
  24. He means when he's bought loose ammo in bulk. My only additional advice is to be aware of how heavy ammo is and make sure the floor you're stacking it on is up to the task. Typical residential wood framed floors are design for 40 lbs/sqft.
