In addition to the chisel, screwdriver, etc. I'll add a torch. Heat up around the seal, that should help it pop loose. All else fails, have it towed back to the shop that installed it and make them fix it. If they've buggered the filter threads, that won't be cheap. But such is the price of stupidity. Every oil filter I've ever seen has instructions to install by hand only.

Nice! I'd like to pick up a CZ some day.

Have fun and be safe.

  Just little stuff like time, money, ....     I work with a number of avid hunters, unfortunately most all of them hunt leased property that's several hours to a whole day's drive away.  They tend to go for a whole weekend.  With two little kids, I'm not in a position to swing that just yet.    In a twist of irony, my parents got a nuisance permit from TWRA a few years ago.  While they're only about 2 hrs away, the permit only allows a few "authorized hunters" other than the land owner, and I'm not one of them.    :shrug:   Having never hunted deer before, I'm not real comfortable just having a go all by myself during the season.      Dad's never been a hunter.  His version of deer hunting is sitting in a lawn chair in his driveway drinking coffee with a .30-30 across his knees.  And yes, he's gotten a few that way.  When Mom used to leave early in the morning, she'd have to honk the horn to get the deer off the driveway so she could leave.  So much for scent control and hunting the wind...   :lol:   If I could find someone who hunts locally, I'd be willing to just tag along and not actually hunt just to get a better idea of how to go about it. 

The triple tap, impressive!   :)

  Because this is TN and laws are written by lawyers....     At the end of the day, I'm not aware of a single case in which a person has been convicted of carrying in the wrong place without extenuating circumstances.

You should call Nashville. Knox co sheriff, and Knox city PD, and post the answers you get. Then we'll all get a laugh because none of them will be correct.

Welcome!

    While the above is correct, determining the difference between a city park and a county park isn't the easiest thing.  Knowing when you're on UT property also isn't the easiest thing. 

Low quality aluminum castings can have a significant amount of entrained hydrogen gas in the form of porosity.  Heat cycles will cause the aluminum to crack, and very high heat could melt the aluminum and release the hydrogen.  It only takes a little hydrogen to make a big boom.    Do I think that's really possible?  No.  I think someone put something in the fire. 

Great read, thanks!  I've been talking about starting deer hunting for several years but just haven't.  At the very least, it sounds like a good excuse to get out into the woods. 

I used to carry a backpack a lot when I had a laptop and traveled regularly for work.  I found it to be much easier to deal with, primarily since it keeps both hands free.  Way better than any sort of typical laptop bag/briefcase.  I could put all the work stuff I needed plus a couple days clothes all in one bag and it still fit as a carry-on.    While the Maxpedition stuff is excellent quality, I used a traditional student backpack simply to avoid the "tacti-cool" appearance.  I guess that look is more common now than it was 10 years ago, but I just preferred a more innocuous look.  The pack I had came from either LLBean or Lands End and held up fine with daily use for about 5 years (then I changed jobs and quit using it). 

That's some cool stuff!

I don't see that tickets are up for sale at the IMAX here yet.  Definitely want to go see it.     As for favorite album/song.... geez....  probably MOP/Damage, Inc., but there's so many...   It's a toss up between Damage and All Nightmare Long.  I know lots of folks got turned off by the image change after the black album, but there's still lots of good songs.  Heck, I even like St. Anger.... Frantic, St. Anger, ... The Unnamed Feeling is freakin' huge.      Here's another question... when was the first time you heard them?  Mine was my 7th grade Civics class.  My friend Jay Henderson had a tape of Kill 'Em All and let me listen.  The first song I heard was Whiplash.  While I'd heard some "metal" before then, things definitely changed at that moment. 

Have you seen the version he did on the Live in Gdansk album? Gives me chills. I'm somewhat of a metalhead, but thats one of my favorite songs. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t3AosAlaODw

Welcome!

Welcome and thanks for your service!

Welcome from a TTU Alumni. 

You wouldn't put duracoat on internal surfaces.  It's just for making the outside look pretty. 

    This.  The dust cover isn't nearly rigid enough nor is it attached well enough to hold zero. 

Make darn sure he doesn't take it to school....

Got pics?

    I'd remove the bluing.  The best way to do that is blast it with something like 240 grit AlOx media.  That'll clean the bluing off with minimal metal removal and result in an excellently roughed surface for paint adherence.  You can do the same with sandpaper, it's just a lot more labor intensive.
