Looks like a fun project. I want to see pics when you're done too. Take some along the way. It would be cool to see it progress.

Yeah, Burr's was it. Thanks.   His wife made some of the best chocolate pies.

There were a couple of those around Lebanon years ago. It was on 109 just north of Leeville Pike. Hole in the wall meat n three place. The old guy that ran the place smoked the stuff in a little block shed out back. It's gone now.   The other place was over by the projects. I don't know if it's still there. IIRC, it was across the street from Alan's "Market" aka the place with the dice game in the back. It could have been a block or two towards the fairgrounds from there. Had to get that stuff to go. No way you could sit in there and eat it without getting smoked yourself. :)

FIFY!

The Bar-B-Cutie on Donelson Pike is pretty good. Not award winning, but better than a lot of places, good prices, and great service. I've heard less flattering things about other BBCutie locations.   Some of the worst around IMO is Stroud's. I don't know how people like that stuff. Dry, tough, bland, and stringy. Plus their sides suck worse than Edley's. The only good thing on their menu is a bag of Lay's chips.

Not a fan of Edleys myself. I thought it was a bit dry and didn't care for the sides. Plus they have too many hipsters. Martin's is delicious. They have a deep smoky flavor. Slow N Low has good brisket. So does Tex's but they're only open M-F for lunch. Peg-leg Porker is getting some good foodie press, but I haven't been over to try it yet. Hog Heaven by Centennial Park used to be great, but I haven't been in years and hear it's not what it once was.

No. He means large wooden boxes for storing African river animals.

  You can also carry in your place of business, but I suppose that's irrelevant to the OP.   The OP is correct that a tent counts as a domicile in TN law, so that counts as being in the home.   from the OP   I've wondered about this line in the TN Code. "incident to" to me means it's a part of the activity. i.e you can't exactly go sport shooting without carrying a loaded firearm, so it's incident to that activity. However, I see no way that carrying a loaded firearm is incident to camping or fishing. It makes me wonder exactly what the lawmakers were intending to accomplish with that line.     As for fishing on public land, it may depend greatly on who manages that public land and exactly what that land is used for. The top of Page 5 at the link below has a good summary of TVA's policies. I'm not sure what stance other agencies like the US Forest Service have taken. Either way, you'd at the very least need an HCP, IMO.   http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/tennessee.pdf

One thing's for sure, they hold their value. My dad bought his RG-10 around 1968 for $20. Today it's worth about $20.

  You're thinking about Reagan. John Hinkley, Jr. used a Rohm RG-14.

"Panther". Then you'd have a real Tennessee black panther.

Sorry, Lumber_Jack. They only hire unprofessional foresters.

Next addition: Kegerator!

  Ask me why I have 3 torpedo levels...

The cops are going to try to flip him.

Don't listen to them. Haters gonna hate.   Hawaii is great. Just get out of Honolulu.

I burn quick too. Sun was an issue for sure. I managed with a combination of rash guards and good sunscreen. The All-Terrain Aqua Sport stuff worked really well and has a good rating from EWG for low risks from the chemicals in it. I went through about 3 tubes in 2 weeks. I found it in several stores in Hawaii including Target and the ubiquitous ABC Stores.

To find good travel deals, sign up for email notices from Sherman's Travel, TravelZoo, Budget Travel. For Hawaii specific, I saw pretty good hotel deals by getting the e-mail specials from Outrigger Hotels. Like I said, we used condos, but the hotel deals from Outrigger were pretty good, relatively speaking.     Spiffy, you forgot Rosanne Barr.....  :)

The cons for Hawaii really are the cost and the travel time. If you can resolve yourself to stick out the flight time, and save enough to be able to weather the high costs, there's no reason for it not to be amazing.   The best ways that we found to cut costs were condos with kitchens, shopping at the local grocery store and using their weekly sales ad (just like we do at home)*, breakfast in the condo every day, and lunch/dinner in the condo when the schedule allowed. If you're a Costco member, there's one on Maui and one on Oahu. Cheap way to stock up for a week or two, and some of the cheapest alcohol on the islands.   I love snorkeling. I rented snorkel gear from Snorkel Bob's on both Oahu and Maui. Maui was much better for snorkeling. The exception would be Hanauma Bay on Oahu if you have small kids. It's a very protected cove with calm water and lots of corals and fish close to shore. It also has lots of people. It's closed on Tuesdays to give the fish a day off.   If you want to try surfing, you can do that on most of the islands. One of the things that makes Waikiki Beach famous is that the waves break a looooooong way out from the shore and roll for a long time. This is great for beginner surfing. I didn't see anywhere on Maui that had similar conditions.   If you want to get excited about Hawaii, start reading the forums on TripAdvisor. You'll see a lot of repeats, but it will answer a lot of your questions about each island. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g29220-i86-Maui_Hawaii.html http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g29222-i37-Oahu_Hawaii.html http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g29218-i304-Kauai_Hawaii.html http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g29217-i268-Island_of_Hawaii_Hawaii.html       *We signed up for Safeway's VIP card during uor first shopping trip. It's free. Works like a Kroger Plus card.

Mrs. 'lizard and I went to Hawaii last summer. Oahu and Maui. I'd been before as a kid, but she hadn't. I wouldn't skip Oahu entirely, but I wouldn't spend much time there either. Plan on a day or two to see Pearl and the Arizona (book your tickets online), Waikiki, and drive up to the north shore and back. We both loved Haleiwa on the north shore. Oahu is busy. It doesn't have to be. Lots of people fly in and get out of Honolulu for places on the east side or the north shore. Lanakai beach is beautiful. Lots of beach house rentals over there. Ko'Olina is on the west side. It's where the Disney reort (Aulani) and a JW Marriott are located. there's not much over there at all, but it's slowly growing. It's a good 45-60 min drive from there into Waikiki w/o traffic.   My surfing instructor at Waikiki said Maui is where people on Oahu go to get away from the crowds and Kauai is where people on Maui go to get away from the "crowds". There's not much at all on Lanai or Molokai, so if you really want to get away from people, go there. Very few amenities though. We stayed in west Maui in north Kaanapali. We liked it because it was away from the "crowd" in south Kaanapali and in Lahaina. Maui was great. If I could afford it, and if they would let me keep my guns, I think I could live there.   We stayed in a condo on Oahu and on Maui. We'll be going back and skipping Oahu for more Maui and we'll try Kauai or Big Island depending on if the lava flows are visible or not. We were at Banyan in Oahu. It's an older building. Our unit had been remodeled, but I'd probably try for some other building next time. We stayed at Honua Kai in Maui and loved it. Booked all our stuff on flipkey.com, which is TripAdvisor's version of VRBO.com. A condo or beach house can save you a lot. Many include a parking space, there's no resort fee, and with a kitchen you can save a bunch by making breakfast there and packing a cooler lunch for the beach. Most condos also come with lots of beach gear like coolers, chairs, umbrellas, towels, etc. If not, buy cheap stuff at WalMart/Costco and drop it off at a thrift store when you're done. Cheaper than renting that stuff.   You can get by w/o a car on Oahu if you stay entirely in Waikiki. That kind of sucks, so plan on a car. You need a car on the other islands. Book one as soon as you book your flight. They can and do run out of cars. It's not like they can just drive some over form a nearby airport.

If Pelican cases ever makes a safe, then I'd trust it to be waterproof.

No. Safes are not generally waterproof. There are some on the market that claim to be water proof, but I don't know much about them. It would take a perfect seal around the door and any holes in the safe for floor bolts/power.

How would that affect otherwise-NFA items, like say a Lewis gun? As a full-auto would it remain under NFA regulations, or as an antique, would it be open season?
