Speaking of walking distance...our hotel is in some kind of weird space-time warp...it's about 3/4 of a mile to walk to the convention, but feels more like 5 miles back.

Absolutely no issues carrying. No searches, not even a second look.

I'm sure the other 2 witnesses know he caused the AD, but with no other victims involved and a fellow's career being at stake, I wouldn't rat out one of my co-workers over this either.

Playing devil's advocate: Let's completely suspend disbelief say something mechanical actually did fail and there was absolutely NO human error on the part of the guy with the gun. What happens next? Do they throw the department's armorer under the bus for letting the gun get in a state of disrepair? Do they ban SAO/striker-fired weapons due to the inherent danger of having the hammer/striker already cocked?

Life has a funny way of working out. Nothing brings balance to one's life like a good ol' case of food poisoning.

I've been slacking for almost 4 weeks (only lost 3 or 4 pounds). I guess that beats gaining. Now that warm weather is here, I better get my act together if I wanna fit into that 2 pc, LOL.

When the love of my life life (my 11 yr old Amerian Bulldog, Lucy) had to be put down we used All-Tenn for the service. The cost is by weight and by how fancy you want the urn/box to be. My dog was around 90 pounds and we chose the aromatic white cedar box, so it cost us $255. They were very respectful and helpful and even picked her up from the vet for us after she was put down.

  If there was no grass to watch grow or paint to watch dry and nothing sharp to poke my eyes out with, I MIGHT join you at arfcom, but I hope it doesn't come to that.

that's all you had to say to make me a believer, LOL...I've never owned a semi auto that would shoot those crappy bullets

I've had 3 Kershaw knives (kept one, gave the other to bladeless friends). For the money they are very good knives, but this Launch series looks like they really stepped up their game!!

  that is SO true...so, me and another nerd at work started a spreadsheet that we share on Google Docs. It has multiple rows for each vendor and multiple columns for each part. We keep it updated when sales come up so that we can tell with only a few keystrokes what the cheapest build we can make would be.   We got the columns and rows to total up with shipping using formulas that account for combined shipping...because, like I already said, we're nerds.

This time next week I'll be packing for the convention. Anybody else as excited as I am?

I bought one of these off Willis a while back and absolutely love it. I'm a bit jealous of y'all's cool serialized numbers.

Going with another TGO'er. We reserved rooms back in December. We'll be staying within walking distance and the rate was not jacked up due to the event at the time I reserved the room!!!

Only time I've seen an Anderson build go bad was when a friend at work built an AR with Anderson receivers that wouldn't cycle by hand. Anderson replaced the upper, but it still didn't work. Problem turned out to be the $10 charging handle he got from eBay. Oops!

Welcome to TN and welcome to TGO.

  I worked in IT at a place that specializes in credit breaches and monitoring. This was a pretty standard offer as far as I recall. There's a pretty strict set of rules governing what constitutes a breach and what must be done based on the level of the intrusion when personally identifying information is exposed.I just don' remember all the subtleties. 

I also frequent Primary Arms and AIM Surplus. Like PSA, you can find deals if you have time to wait for a holiday sale. I have seen a decent price from time to time at JoeBob Outfitters too.   Best of luck, $400 is hard to hit without buying Chinese knockoff parts on eBay, LOL. Then again, at least you're skipping the stock :D

  24 lbs in 5 weeks is seriously impressive!   I'm with ya about that junk food. I used to live off Taco Bell and fast food burgers. 

I'm on Android... >Diary >>Add Food (any meal) >>>GPS icon (see below) is between the "Search for a Food" text box and the barcode icon >>>>list of restaurants w/ mini Google map shows up

    I agree with both of you that there's nothing inherently wrong with veggies in general. However, if you get your metabolism running purely on ketones instead of glucose (nutritional ketosis), you have to cut out some veggies to get your carbs down to 25g and you have to  lower your protein to about 0.5 grams/lb of your ideal body weight. That left me with about 90g of protein/day in order to stay in ketosis. I know all that sounds extreme, but factor in my very strong dislike for exercise, LOL. Now that I've dropped the first 50#, I can exercise more, which is why I'm not doing that keto diet anymore. Nonetheless, I don't think I could have dropped that much that fast without exercise and without being hungry at all.

  Adkins? Keto? Paleo?   I was doing keto and 25 -30 grams of carbs is freaking hard, but it taught me to like kale and spinach, which I was never a fan of. I also thought it was odd that green beans, brussel sprouts, and asparagus could have so many carbs that I had to avoid them. If you did that for 8 months you are the man!!

  ah yes! the old Heisenberg diet

I called to ask if I could shoot a shotgun up there. They said yes...that's it, just "yes".   When I arrived they told me I couldn't shoot any of the ammo I brought and would have to buy ammo from them.   Their place, their rules, but jeez they could have told me before I drove 30 minutes and had my hopes up.
