Good stuff. While I don't mind eating the flesh (fresh, not that nasty shredded packaged crap), coconut drinks are . Dood... that's avatar material there!

I'm a very poor guitar player, a mediocre golfer, an avid motorcyclist and hiker (with little time to pursue either). I spend most of my time with these guys...

Ditto. And the same should apply to our legislators. If they don't know what's in a bill, how can they decide how their constituents' want them to vote? The wife and I voted yesterday.

Depends on the gun. My DAO P3AT doesn't have a safety other than the long trigger pull and I'm fine with that. My striker fired PT145 has a manual safety and I carry it on safe. As you pointed out, seems more people shoot themselves re-holstering than any other way (other than cleaning).

Depends largely on your intended purpose. Nightstand gun, tactical carbine class, or fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan? Some might feel only the best will do regardless, but you have to decide for yourself what's "good enough" and balance that against your budget. If it was my nightstand gun... I need a handful of reviews showing some comparable use/abuse and 100 or so rounds downrange myself to be confident it works adequately.

Just a little too late.

Right. I forgot they changed that a number of years ago. They have maintained their government-like efficiency.

Wow. What a hassle. It's no wonder the post office is a drain on our tax dollars.

Welcome!

Hydraulic cement is cement that's specifically formulated to expand when it dries and fully cure even when the area stays wet. Standard cement typically shrinks a little as it cures. That said, you fix basement/foundation leaks from the outside, not inside. Yes, that typically means digging a really big hole. If you seal the inside, you may stop the leak at that point but the water is already through the wall. Where's it gonna go next? Got pics of the basement walls? The terracotta pipe thing sounds really interesting.

Talk to the local sheriff's dept. Make the aware of your intentions. If you happen to be hunting during school hours, I can imagine things going sideways real fast if someone at the school hears gun fire.

With that many mice, it might be worth a call to TWRA. They may be able to help you figure out why there's so many. There's got to be a food source somewhere to sustain them. And clearly there's a lack of predators. We had a great big rat take up residence under our screen porch about a month ago. I couldn't figure out why the dog kept digging in various places. Then my wife saw it eating from our bird feeders. I put out a few traps and some bait, no more rat.

Wow. Do you know the alloy? Ti isn't cheap by any stretch. I work with it all the time (aircraft parts) and yes, its tough stuff.

Good to know. I've been pondering their data sharing options but am suspicious of how they track it. Seems they don't know how they track it either.

Also in USAToday... http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2012/10/24/1654249/

Welcome! To my knowledge, you can do reloads and failure drills at Gunny's. You cannot draw from a holster. If there's an outdoor range in Louisville, I've never heard of it (but would like to!). While there is lots of open space in Blount County, finding space to shoot is all in who you know. If you find a willing property owner, you'll get at least a dozen new best friends.

Exactly. They've got the best coverage in this area, but otherwise... meh. Truth. Charter will not get any more of my money. I'm thinking hard about doing the same with Verizon, but I'm not real keen on the alternatives.

As long as the house has conditioned air, I wouldn't worry too much about rust in a year. Clean them, lube them, wipe them down with a silicone gun cloth and they'll be fine. Maybe add a few packs of desiccant. What you want to avoid is storing them in a way that might trap moisture... like a gun case with foam. I keep mine in a cheap Stack-On cabinet and have no issues with rust. It's not exactly a theft deterrent, but my kids can't get at them, which is the important thing.

You've got contradictory requirements.... light weight and low recoil. A heavier rifle will have less felt recoil than a light weight one. A semi-auto rifle will have less felt recoil than a bolt gun. In my experience, an M1 Garand (which is both heavy and semi-auto) in .30-06 has less felt recoil than light weight .270 bolt gun. Keep in mind that the recoil only matters when you're at the range practicing. You won't feel a thing when hunting. That said, another vote for .243. Mild recoil, flat trajectory, plenty accurate.

I wonder if the damage is permanent. Does it literally burn out the electronics and kill them completely, or just disrupt the systems? I bet it takes 1.21 Jigawatts.

My wife has been down the road of poor replacements from Verizon as well. We will not buy another HTC. Much as I dislike Apple, I'm leaning toward iphone4 at our next upgrade in a month. As for why don't they call about it? Because it would require them to make an effort and they don't care enough to bother.

I don't see the Big Beaver Road reference either. Having been to Milford several times, I know it's there.

My guess is that the DOT is doing a traffic survey of the intersection. Set the camera up, let it record for a while, then watch the footage to determine volumes and such for potential light timing or traffic pattern changes. That may not be "conspiracy theory" enough for some, but such is life. Apparently Eastern TN didn't get this memo.

Nice! I'm curious, does the polished head stick in the wood? Long ago, I got the bright idea to polish our old kindling hatchet. I made it gleam like a mirror. Unfortunately that rendered it virtually useless for splitting wood as the head stuck like crazy. After wrestling with it for a while I finally just scuffed it up with some 20 grit and its usefulness returned. Dad makes various things from purple heart laminated with other woods and AFAIK, he just uses regular Titebond wood glue. Gorilla glue is good stuff as well.

Interesting. I've seen plenty of black widows and wolf spiders and it sure looked like a black widow. Though I didn't look for long.
