The Warner parks are Nashville city parks, not state parks. They're off-limits per city ordinance and are posted (mostly) in the proper places.   State Parks are good to go. The only parks that qualify in Nashville are Bicentennial Mall, Long Hunter, and Radnor Lake. Technically the Harpeth River S.P. has a small Nashville presence at the Hwy 100 bridge/canoe launch. You will sometimes find signs at the entrance to the state parks which say "No firearms permitted" or something similar. These signs are old and do not apply to HCP holders. They were left in place because to remove them and put up new signs would have had a fiscal note attached to the bill which allowed state park carry and would have made it DOA. The signs will be changed as they age and need to be replaced, at which time the part about firearms will be omitted from the new signs.   Another TGOer has pointed out that several of the Nashville city parks are located in part or in full on state owned land, but administered by the city. These can't be posted per the letter of the law (posting requires both owners to approve posting and the state doesn't do that). If you want to research land deeds and be willing to be a test case, more power to you. Otherwise, Nashville city parks are a no-go.

I suspect it wouldn't be a major challenge to mount it on a set of motorized gimbals, mate it to a tracking system with cameras, and put it up high enough to give it a downward angle into the engine bay.   Skynet is coming.

  FIFY!

It's not just old, but a bad fit to begin with. Here's a G26 in a soft Remora. Notice how much more of the firearm (esp. the trigger guard) it covers than the one in the OP. I have no issues with using the soft Remora holster.

I'll be parking at the library. $10 max on Friday. $5 on Saturday and Sunday. It's a nice walk from there to the MCC.   Parking at the MCC is $18 max/day. The lots around it will vary from $5 to $20 in no apparently logical fashion.

Welcome to the state of free parking for disabled drivers. Seriously.   Your plate/placard entitles you to free parking at all parking meters and at all parking facilities owned or operated by any governmental agency. Tennessee Statute, T.C.A. 55-21-105(a) states: "No state agency, county, city, town or other municipality or any agency thereof shall exact any fee for parking on any street or highway or in any metered parking space. The parking privileges granted by this section are limited to any disabled driver or disabled passenger to whom the distinctive license plates or placards were issued." That doesn't apply to private parking structures, but does apply to publically owned land operated by private contractors. That includes the Music City Center. I'm not exactly sure how that works at the MCC. The downtown library garage has parking attendants at the exits. You write down your name, address, and plate/placard # on your parking ticket and they let you out of the garage at no charge. The MCC's garage is fully automated. You go to a kiosk and insert your ticket and pay. Then you insert your ticket into a machine at the exit which knows if you paid or not and lets you out (or doesn't). I don't really know how you'd get your parking validated. You could call the MCC at (615) 401-1300 and ask.   You may be pushing it on the NRA membership. I bought an annual membership for a friend about a month ago and he just got his card. By the time you get yours it may be too late to pre-register. You may have to wait in line at the MCC to get your convention credentials. You could call the NRA and ask if they have assigned you a number yet. Once you have a number you can preregister. You don't need the physical card. NRA Customer Service: (800) 672-3888

  Sure. It's called one that has already been overrun with brain-dead zombies.

  Yep, you're right. Nothing written on the walls. The comic says "WOLF FIGHT!" on the back.

Good one, but I wouldn't have filled it with water.

Got the cans filled up this weekend. They seal up tight! The plastic CARB cans would just about get me high on the way home from all the fumes they leaked sitting in the back of my SUV. These have zero escaping gasoline odor. That's not a surprise though. When I opened them for the first time there was a hiss when the air pressure inside changed to match the outside. :up:   I may buy more cans, but I don't think I'll ever need to replace these in my lifetime.

  I missed that. "Wolves Here" was painted on the wall around Noah's neighborhood. That's what's going to tie the two enclaves together. Whoever did the zombie dismembering is going to be the antagonist against Alexandria. As "off" as Alexandria seems to be at the moment, I suspect the congresscritter is still better than whoever is choppping 'em up and leaving 'em dangerous....unless Alexandria are the ones doing the chopping.

  You could be on to something, but I think it will just be Darryl who is asked to leave.

  Yep, funny to us, but a believable story for the Congresswoman, followed up by living the lie in a cardigan. It makes her a great sleeper agent. They have no idea that she's the most dangerous and unpredictable one.   I could see the group owning the whole place after Carol secretly poisons them all with casseroles. Rick would just be standing there dumbfounded.   She played up the sweet den-mother thing from start to finish. Notice how she made herself look so awkward taking her rifle off and putting it in the pile, like she was uncomfortable even handling a firearm.

The 2 best tapes were far and above Darryl and Carol. I lost it when Darryl was standing there in her living room with that possum still in his hand, then Carol comes out dressed like June Cleaver talking about making casseroles and meeting the neighbors. This was the funniest episode they've ever done. :up:

  Almost like it was planned that way...

  FIFY!

He was a lefty gun-control advocate. I enjoyed his acting work, but not his politics.

Then name it for Mark Kelly. A naval aviator who flew combat missions then went on to become an astronaut on 4 shuttle flights (pilot x2, commander x2). Yeah, I'd say that's impressive enough to have a ship named after you. That career shows a good public image for the Navy. Namings like that are usually done posthumously though, so he'll have to wait. They announced the USS Neil Armstrong (also a naval aviator before his NASA career) shortly after he died in 2012.

  I go to a barber. In a barber shop. Where we tell Obama jokes, insult each other, and watch sports.  There's a small glass cabinet of Pinaud products for sale that look like they haven't been touched since the Eisenhower administration. That's where men go for a hiarcut.

I don't get it. I don't care that she's a she. I care that she hasn't done much for the US Navy. There's always controversy surrounding the naming of a ship after a politician (at least half the population won't like it because of party affiliation), but in the past those politicians have had some form of service in the Navy and/or a long-standing record of support for the Navy. Giffords has neither.

  3 ships by full name, but none are combat ships. The ships named with just the honoree's last name, I'm not sure. there could be some, but I can't tell by just knowing the last names. http://www.navy.mil/navydata/ships/lists/shipalpha.asp   USNS Amelia Earrhart (cargo) USNS Mary Sears (oceonography) USNS Sacagawea (cargo)

Paying for the fence has nothing to do with it, it's the property line that matters....sort of. Adverse possession could come into play if enough time has passed since the titled owner (you) has asserted claim to the property. AKA "Squater's Rights". If he has been maintaining the property without being secretive and has had continuous use of it, then he might be able to claim it as his. If the true owner (you) hasn't asserted their ownership rights in the amount of time granted by law, the squatter may be able to claim it. In Tennessee that's as short as 7 years but most likely 20, depending on the title circumstances. If you have an actual property title, then it's 20 years.   In other words, as long as you tell the property owner every 19.9 (or 6.9) years that sliver of land is yours, they can't claim it and have the property line redrawn, but there's no sense in moving the fence if you're perfectly happy letting them mow and use that part of your land. Just claim it every so often with a certified letter and you should be good to go.   As for the realtor having to disclose that the fence is on the neighbor's property, I don't know, though I suspect that would qualify as you having made an assertion of your ownership rights and reset the clock to 20 years.   http://real-estate-law.freeadvice.com/real-estate-law/real-estate-law/adverse-possession-squater-rights.htm http://statelaws.findlaw.com/tennessee-law/tennessee-adverse-possession-laws.html

No, this will be my first time to try PRI. The lab tests I linked to up in post#5 (http://www.kansaswindpower.net/PRI%20lab_tests.htm) convinced me to go with it instead of Sta-Bil. They mention the 15 year old gas test there. CampingWorld up by Opryland has it in stock, but it's $38 for the 32oz bottle. I ordered some on Amazon for $31 and free shipping. It should be here in the next few days. Seafoam is better than Sta-Bil, not as good as PRI, but easier to to find than PRI.    I still plan to rotate the gasoline, but with the PRI and ethanol-free I won't be so worried about it when I forget. PRI would probably keep it stable for longer if I needed it to, but a yearly cycling will be fine and that's what I'll do. When it's time to refresh the stockpile, I pour any unused gas into my cars and go refill the cans. Cars are less finicky about small breakdowns/deposits in the fuel than smaller engines with tiny ports in the carbs like generators, weed eaters, lawnmowers, etc. You probably could take 15 year old gas that was stored well and treated with PRI and run it through a car or truck without much trouble, and that's without treating it annually, just once before using it. Personally, I'll stick to my annual drain-and-refill schedule. The PRI will give me peace-of-mind if I forget one year.   I know ethanol gas will varnish up a small carb in a hurry if it's left with ethanol gas in it. I changed out carbs on a weed eater, lawnmower, and leaf blower using that junk. Since I switched to ethanol free for my small engines, they've never had a problem. I know I wouldn't want to try the 15 year experiment with ethanol gas, treated with PRI or not.   Here's a site showing where to get ethanol-free gasoline: http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=TN
