This. There's far too many variables to know how a bullet will react when it hits the target. Worry more about hitting the target. Worry less about what the bullet does afterwards.

The article has been updated and it seems 17 people are getting fired. Play stupid games...

MDF board works well. Lowes/Home Depot will have masonite (or their version of it) as well. You can also find sections of laminate counter tops cheap at salvage places, which is what I used for my work bench. If there's a kitchen cabinet place near you, sometimes they'll have big broken pieces you can cut down pretty cheap. I'd extend that power strip the whole length and run it underneath. You don't want power cords draped across whatever you're working on. And make sure the circuit it's attached to is up to the task. Consider plumbing in air lines. Compressed air is really handy, not to mention air tools. Build in shelves under the work bench. You never have enough storage.

I remembered something like that but was too lazy to look it up. Interesting that there's no time provision for recovering the dog. Particularly after having been contacted by the person who found it. You might call the owner this morning and tell him if he doesn't come get it by noon, he can pay the local animal shelter to get the dog back. His reaction to that might tell you if you've got yourself a new pet.

Kewl!

Welcome!

Actually he is breaking the law. Dogs are not permitted to run at large in TN. I'm sure there's some flexibility in a hunting dog gone astray. So did he come get the dog?

Regarding the statutory rape thing... if it was consensual sex, either they both should get charged or neither one does.

Welcome!

I just smoked a bone-in turkey breast. I'll estimate about 1 hr per pound, though obviously that depends on the temp. The one I cooked was about 5lbs and it a took about 4.5 hrs. Mostly I just use the meat thermometer to determine when it's done. I pulled it off the smoker at about 160 deg and let it rest for at least an hour before I cut it up. Don't over-cook it, it dries out fast. Inject the crap out of it. You can't really do too much. The flavor doesn't seem to permeate through turkey. I also halved an apple and wedged it in there. I use a cheap-o charcoal smoker which works great with a few minor modifications. I have little control over the temp, though it's been fairly consistent in the 200-250 range. I've used all kinds of wood (hickory, mesquite, cherry, pecan, apple... ) and can't tell any difference in taste of the meat, though it's usually seasoned. The difference is in how fast it burns up. Dad is a wood turner and so I get fist-sized hunks rather than small chips. The pecan seems to last the longest and thus requires the least attention, which is nice. I also use a 50/50 mix of cheap beer and water in the water pan. I've tried juices and various other things and again, really can't tell much difference in taste.

Dad's smoking a turkey. Last week I smoked 2 pork loins, a ham, and a turkey breast. Ironically, the ham took the least effort and was the best.

There's lots of stuff that works well as a desiccant.... salt, rice, oatmeal, sawdust, cat litter, oil dry, ... Any of those in a breathable container will absorb water vapor from the air.

Be nice if they'd put up a non-compliant sign that would soothe the sheep but not annoy us.

I doubt there's much that could be done. You can't really move the ejector back and don't want to remove metal from the rear of the barrel. If it works fine with other ammo, I'd use it move on.

Welcome!

Ye ole CBR...

I'll also throw Cooper tires out there. Based on recommendations from several co-workers, I bought a set of Cooper Discoverer H/T's for my SUV. They were significantly less expensive with comparable ratings & tread life. I've had them for about 5000 miles and I'm quite happy. They're smooth, quiet, and have good grip both dry and wet. I've not had them in any sort of real mud or snow yet. And they're made in the USA.

I've found this to be a good source of info... Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S G052

Welcome!

Experiences with CCA vary, mine has been fine. Frontier in Kingston, Austins in Oak Ridge, Bills Outpost in Knoxville or Maryville, Farnsworth's in Vonore, Gander Mtn, ... the list goes on.

"Cant" is just the angle the gun sits at. It's independent of the "clock position" where you wear it around your waist. "Zero" or "Neutral" cant has the gun with the barrel vertical. "Forward" cant has the gun tilted so the rear sight is forward of the muzzle. edit... here's a better picture showing cant angles...

The Sheriff should be too...

I don't have a Glock, but do have a Supertuck. I moved the forward clip 2 notches up and the rear clip one notch up so the gun sits lower with a touch more cant. That helped prevent the butt of the pistol sticking out quite so much. Just fiddle with it until you're happy.

Perhaps you were unconsciously trying to go faster in the dark. I recall reading a study about people's driving habits based on time of day and in bad weather. The results were interesting... basically they determined that when you take the speedometer away, people drive noticeably faster in the dark or bad weather than they do during the day. Even though they may be trying to go slower, without the speedometer as feedback, they actually went faster. The explanation for this behavior was that the reduced visibility in the dark or bad weather also reduced people's perception of speed.

Video: excellent! Audio: not so much.
