I couldn't watch Forever. I made it through about 5 episodes and realized they were pretty much all exactly the same. I gave up on it and wasn't surprised it got the axe.

Do I recall correctly that they have a proper toilet in them? I haven't been in one for almost 20 years now. IIRC it was a big improvement for the crew over the B-52 which pretty much just has a funnel and hose going to a coffee can. The first person to use it had to clean it out upon mission end. Gotta go #2 in a B-52? Open the bomb bay doors, Hal.

Last Resort needed to be cancelled. It was interesting for maybe 3 episodes, then just got stupid. +1 to The Last Ship. good summer show. Also glad to see Falling Skies is wrapping up. I've enjoyed the show, but I'm ready for it to conclude. I'll let both queue up in the DVR then binge watch them.

See this thread on tannerite http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/85742-got-tannerite-dont-mix-it/ +1 to robtattoo's post. Other options around Nashville are: CHMR ( http://www.chmr.us/ ) for $90/year. It only goes to 100 yards though and I doubt he'd allow tannerite but I don't know for sure. Gallatin Gun Club ( http://www.gallatingun.com/ ) for $50 year. It goes to 300 yards. No tannerite and a waiting list, plus Saturdays in warm months are usually blacked out for competitions.

Memphis Park Called A "Public Recreation Area"
monkeylizard replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
What OS said. A public recreation area is under the same law as parks and playgrounds. It's probably just an old sign that no longer applies. However, knowing the stances exclaimed by certain city leaders in both Memphis and Nashville following the recent legislation, it wouldn't surprise me if someoned decides put up new signs like that to intentionally obfuscate what is and isn't an allowed area now as most citizens don't have 39-17-1311 memorized. -
Or you could use the poor man's scanner. Take a picture of the picture with your phone.

I'm guessing the compass was set to due North on more than one occasion. :)

Nope. Too expensive and the gear needed to maintain them is probably all gone too, along with much of the knowledge, I'm sure.

TN Anti-Gun State Rep Indicted On Federal Charges
monkeylizard replied to Oh Shoot's topic in General Chat
Probably just typical sloppy WSMV reporting. -
My dad is a retired chaplain. When we were at Kadena he was assigned to a refueling squadron so he got to go up with them on lots of missions, including refueling the Habu. He said they'd go up a few hours before the SR-71 would launch and go into a circling pattern. After it got up, it would be on their position in a few minutes. They'd go as fast as they could go and the SR would go about as slow as it could go. After gassing up, it would throttle up and be gone in a flash. He said watching it in flight out those back windows was incredible.

Here's one of my favorite SR-71 stories from Brian Shul: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/favorite-sr-71-story-1079127041

I was there from 1st through 3rd grade and I can still remember that roar. Night flights were especially cool watching those afterburners go from two bright flames to one, to none, but you could still hear it. It was a semi-regular occurrence to see one launch, but it still had people standing in their front yards watching it. We had an F-15 pilot next door and even he would stand out and watch it. One of the most unique school field trips was a visit in 3rd grade to the hangar and operations center. We got to try on the space helmets and eat peaches from a tube, then we got to go out to the hangar and see the Habu up close. Amazing.

No, she'll never ask that question. It will be because the boy "fell in with the wrong crowd" or "the schools didn't do their job." It would never be her fault.

It's actually called netiquette. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette_in_technology

My wife's a teacher. The best Hitler overdub is hands down the Principal Hitler and the bad test scores. Couldn't find the right one on YouTube, but here;s the FB link: https://www.facebook.com/howard.clink/videos/3895393026285/?pnref=story

They're some of the safest cars on the road. It's what one of the heads of the IIHS drives.

I know that Goodwill will supply donated cars that function to people who need them to get to work and such. Since yours is busted, either scrap it or like Mrs. monkeyman said, try Craigslist. More hassle, but maybe more money.
-
I did many years ago. It's easier to call a scrap yard and have them haul it off, then give the proceeds to a charity of your choice as a cash donation. Get an estimated price from several different scrap yards. Here's the full IRS publication: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/pub4303.pdf And here's the Cliff's Notes version: https://www.charitywatch.org/charitywatch-articles/tips-for-donating-a-car-to-charity/42
