I went to school with two guys who currently work at NAVSEA and one who did a few years ago. Nerds get to play with some cool toys!

You guys have got it all wrong. Clearly the best location for a "final stand" is an amusement park.

My parents have a nesting pair of bald eagles that tend to spend the winter near their house. We've seen the two adults and one juvenile soaring overhead several times.

My Dad mentioned in passing if I would be interested in an NRA life membership a week or two ago. He did not mention the cost, so maybe that's what my Christmas present will be.

Nice rifle, looks very similar to mine. How's the trigger? Mine's got a lot of creep and I've been thinking of sending the trigger group to this guy. I've read on other forums that he does excellent work.

Cut a piece of wood the width you want and taper one end. Tap it through with a hammer.

Search amazon.com for related books. One you have the titles, find them at your local library.

Safe mode?

Which is specifically what we were doing, trying to locate animals. Deer, raccoons, owls, possums, squirrels, bobcats, bears, ... anything that might be moving around in the woods at night. Sweep the beam around looking for glowing eyes, then move in for a closer look. Most were completely oblivious to the light shining on them. I feel sure the intent is that spotlight hunting is illegal. But that's not what the law says. Our esteemed legislators really thought that one through when they wrote it. Morons.

This. Hands in close to the body and hit it hard, it's an explosive motion. The weak hand stays stationary and the strong hand drives the gun forward out from under the weak hand. Women seem to be afraid they'll hurt the gun and want to rack the slide slowly. Have her conjure up an image of you forgetting to take the trash out, that'll provide her the motivation.

I'll agree that the wording suggests that the light has to be attached to a vehicle of some sort, but the idea that you can be fined for walking through the woods at night with a flashlight is stupid. Riddle me this... I've gone on a couple park ranger led night hikes (owl prowls) specifically to observe wildlife at night. We were breaking the law? Better tell the Boy Scouts and darn near every hiking club so they don't all get thrown in jail. I'd hope that a TWRA officer wouldn't be so bored as to pursue that.

The best round is the one with which you can most accurately and reliably hit the target. Period.

I know of couple places in east TN. And yes, the rebuild will be very close to the value of the car. Unless it's in excellent shape, I'd think real hard about it. How many miles on the car and how many miles since last fluid change? What did the old fluid look like? I have a '98 SL2 (5-spd)... 170k and counting. Here's an occasionally useful reference...

If she's the shy type, rent a .22 at the range for her to plink with. Show her how to operate the gun(s) and let her dry fire them at home before you go. Make some custom targets with pictures she'd like to punch a few holes in (her boss, Martha Stewart, you, ...) If she's the competitive type, try a few drills to keep it interesting.

This. If you're worried about "larger 4 legged creatures", carry a larger gun. If the hide on a bear (or similar) clogs up a JHP and prevents expansion, it functions just like a FMJ anyway.

Yes, your fuel gauge lies to you. Some fuel gauges are calibrated non-linearly on purpose. The gauge is set to stay on "full" for a while. Otherwise, people complain that "I just filled up yesterday and it's already down to 3/4 tank". The fact that they never got it "full" in the first place and it really is down to 3/4 tank is beyond their comprehension. So to keep those morons from whining and taking their car back to the dealer, and then being pissed when they're told nothing is wrong... the gauge lies. It stays near full longer than it should, then zooms to a little less than 3/4 tank. It's fairly accurate through the middle of the range. Then zooms from 3/8 tank to 1/8 tank and then slows a bit. This is intentional to make it look lower than it is so you'll buy gas before running out, and prevent those same morons from going back to the dealer complaining that their car ran out of gas before the gauge was on "E".

I have the safety glasses similar to what's sold at walmart. It took a couple iterations to determine which style doesn't fog up and which fits under my ear muffs the best.

Hahaha! love that movie! Anyway.... given that 5 out of 10 marriages fail, it's no surprise that 4 of those 5 who failed don't want to do it again. There used to be a social stigma associated with divorce. That's gone now so people don't feel any sort of pressure to try to save a failing marriage. The only thing more expensive than marriage, is divorce.

No different than buying any other used gun. Do your homework and haggle, haggle, haggle.

I was in the middle of doing it on the kitchen table when the Kirby vacuum salesman came to my door several years ago. I invited him in, and enjoyed watching him squirm throughout his sales pitch while I stroked the bore. At the end of his little talk, I told him that if I was going to spend that much money on something that sucked, it was d_mn sure going to suck more than my carpet.

Heh, my Dad is the same way. They grew up in a age when car gas tanks were uncoated steel, gas pumps didn't have 5 micron filters, and gas gauges weren't as accurate. There would be lots of gunk in the bottom of the gas tank that you didn't want sucked into the fuel system, hence never let it run below 1/4 tank. I replaced the in-tank fuel pump in my '87 Pontiac with 175,000 miles about 10 years ago. When I pulled the tank, I was shocked to find only a tiny bit of debris inside. HA! A coworker took a rental car down to -28 miles till empty while traveling on business several years ago. And yes, it was still running when we pulled into the gas station.

Just be sure you get one with a relatively short barrel... 20" max. The typical "sporting" shotgun barrels are nearly impossible to manage effectively indoors.

I put 18.8 gallons in an 18 gallon tank at 3am Saturday night in BFE middle TN when I was in college. I drove through 3 towns trying to find an open gas station on my way back to school. That wasn't fun.

While I don't necessarily agree with the pat down procedures, I hope you all continue flying on a regular basis. It's crucial to my continued employment.
