What Dolomite said. Chemistry can be a tricky thing. Why not just use a pressure washer?

You sure they're for an SKS? I've got a handful for my yugo and the fit is pretty loose. How well to the rounds fit in the clips? Mine are somewhat snug around the rim.

[quote name='analog_kidd' timestamp='1352370426' post='841694'] I love whitewater kayaking. I've been doing it since I was a kid. In fact it's one of the reasons I moved from FL to TN, so I could do it more often. This is me at Bald River Falls over by the Tellico River, [/quote] Holy cow! You went over Bald River Falls on purpose? I'm surprised you can get in there to do that.

Could be the bleach they used to clean everything up when they installed the new system. But I'd think that would go away in days, rather than months. Does the smell coincide with switching the system over to heat?

What's "the dip"? Some chemicals attack aluminum, some don't.

What are the chances of the blade cutting through the stitches? If the knife has a pointy end, I can see it punching through the stitches on the end and poking out. Otherwise, I like it.

[quote name='TrickyNicky' timestamp='1352291826' post='840908'] That's too funny, we were just joking about how unfair it was that Obamabots get to riot if their guy lost but how we have to just sit here and suck eggs. Being responsible is a bi$&h sometimes ain't it? [/quote] Responsible? Pfftttt... I'm outta diet coke.

[quote name='Murgatroy' timestamp='1352247884' post='840444'] I had to look at your location. I grew up in Tellico Plains, a little farther back in the hills from you (I have spent a fair bit of time in Loudon/Madisonville/Philadelphia area) and this was a common thing this time of year. I remember as a young hot blooded lad, spending some quality time in the backseat of a truck with a hot blooded young lady when all of a sudden there was a knock on the window. As we scrambled to get clothing back in place I rolled the window down to an officer of the law. Now we were both of age, but we were parked in a rather public place in Madisonville. The cop looks at me, doesn't miss a beat and says "Hey, hate to bother you, but I couldn't help but notice you had a truck, and someone just hit a deer out here on 411..." We ate good for a while on that. [/quote] That's funny right there, I don't care who you are...

[quote name='OhShoot' timestamp='1352258877' post='840637'] Well, put the riot gear back in the safe. - OS [/quote] Negative. [quote name='peejman' timestamp='1352238206' post='840319'] I haven't read this whole thread and I'm not gonna... but I had a neat idea. If Obama wins, I want to see a bunch of middle aged, over-weight, balding white guys looting the Quickie Stop on MLK Blvd. Kicking in the windows and stuffing the back seat of their bimmer with cases of frappuccino and Gardetto's. Some others gasping for breath on the verge of a heart attack about a block away because that's as far as they could carry the case of diet coke. That would f-ing ROCK! That is all. Carry on. [/quote] So.... when you do you guys want to meet?

I get a free weekly e-newsletter from this site. http://digital-photography-school.com/ I've found it pretty useful. Lots of tips and such and lots of excellent photos from which to get inspiration.

I use 200gr +P. Worry more about hitting the target and less about what the bullet does afterwards.

[quote name='S&WForty' timestamp='1352233376' post='840245'] Gotta love the depth of field from the f/1.8 lenses! I recommend buying from B&H Photo or Adorama in NY. Excellent prices and customer service. [/quote] Another vote for B&H. Check out their used gear... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/SLR-Digital-Cameras/ci/15488/N/4294182649 Here's the camera body .... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/800902314-USE/Canon_2756b001_EOS_Rebel_XSi_Digital.html And here's the lens.... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/740785-REF/Canon_2514A007AA_Normal_EF_50mm_f_1_8.html Under $400 combined. And +1 to everything Rusty said.

What Jonnin said. My defense rounds are 200gr +P while I use standard 230 gr for practice. The 230's hit about an inch lower at 25 yds. Not enough to matter IMO.

I also have a crossbreed supertuck and like it. I don't think the kydex wears a gun's finish more or less than a comparable leather holster. With either type, it's important to keep the holster clean. Embedded dirt and grit is what does the damage. Mine had the dreaded squeak, but after a few tries I fixed it with some felt behind the belt clips. That said, if I were buying a new holster today, I'd get one that's convertible IWB/OWB.

Here's a few options... http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?213309-Flashlight-amp-Knife-in-one-Holster-Combo Spare mag + flashlight holsters are pretty common. Seems a fairly simple adaptation to swap the mag for a knife.

[quote name='luke9511' timestamp='1351877456' post='837848'] i have also seen her jerk him by the arm and pick him up and walk off in anger carrying him by the one arm, we also contacted dcs and they sent someone over but my sister just lied through her teeth and the dcs person just laughed and giggled with her over what she was saying, it was a complete joke [/quote] I dislocated my oldest's elbow when he was 3. He wasn't listening, I was annoyed, he pulled one way, I pulled the other, and pop! He howled. We took him to the local urgent clinic, got him x-rayed, and the dr. didn't really find anything wrong. I felt like such a heel (still do). I was surprised that we didn't get a visit from DCS after that. Even more so after visits to the same clinic when the dog bit him (twice). Stuff happens. It does sound like there's some significant issues with your sister, but it'll get way more messy than you can imagine if you get involved. If you feel strongly enough about it, proceed. Child abuse is a horrible thing.

[quote name='Flatwoods Forge' timestamp='1351871656' post='837786'] Either up load to youtube or photobucket. If you dont edit and just upload off a phone then photobucket is easier [/quote] Photobucket. Big brother blocks youtube at work.

[quote name='luke9511' timestamp='1351876143' post='837831'] oh and she forced the baby to try something he didnt want to try and she told him if he didnt he wouldnt get anything to eat and guess what happend he didnt get anything to eat [/quote] A kid that throws a fit when presented with a new food? Gets mad and makes a horrendous mess? Gee.... that's never happened before. The "eat it or starve" option may be a little harsh for a 2 year old, but I've been there with my kids.

[quote name='xRUSTYx' timestamp='1351875626' post='837819'] Spanking it a touchy subject. I'm all for it, FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. The goal of the spanking is to teach discipline. Spanking every day = obviously your approach to discipline is wrong, and misguided. IMO - Spanking is the ultimate discipline and should be used as such. When it pains you as a parent to spank your child, that's discipline. If you start to feel anger/relief/enjoyment from spanking your child = borderline abuse. When a child is spanked in the heat of the moment, many times, it can turn abusive. I was taught to allow a good 45-60 minutes of timeout/stay in room/prepare for spanking, prior to the parent/guarding spanking. This not only allows the child to think about what they did and what is about to happen, it also allows the parent to calm down, talk with their child about what they did wrong, and issue discipline correctly with the correct mindset, instead of abusively and taking their rage/anger/resentment out on their child. [/quote] This. Intervening can get complicated real fast. Other than looking for bruises and such that MAY indicate abuse, I think it's best left to the professionals. Spanking should never be done in anger. The "cooling off" period mentioned above is important. I admit to not following it all the time myself. If you don't have kids, you simply don't understand how fast they can set you off. I don't mean that to sound condescending, that's just how it is.

I'm thinking long range (>200 yds) air rifle.

Ouch. Glad he's ok. I have a strong suspicion I'll be there myself in a few more years.
