  1.   Sears stands behind their lifetime warranty on Craftsman hand tools. Take them in to Sears and they'll give you a new pair. No questions asked. I broke a crowbar (don't ask) and they swapped it out quick and easy.
  2. yep. Haven't been since the signs went up. Probably wouldn't go back even if the signs came down.
  3. Nobody go to the toilet! It'll waste a gallon of beer if you flush!
  4. Gaurufa....                               ... have an A-1 day. :)
  5. Bob Odenkirk was interviewed on NPR's "Fresh Air" several weeks ago. He said lawyers love the character. They all tell him "I know a lawyer who's just like Saul". Bob was funny. He said something like "yeah...sure buddy...and you're nothing like him, right?"   http://www.npr.org/2013/08/06/209222363/bob-odenkirk-brings-some-laughs-to-breaking-bad
  6. You can get propane fueled chimineas. Maybe that's what they had.
  7. Tim explains why some of the rules exist in post#21 of this thread. He talks about single targets on #7 so it was about the angles rather than just chewing up the target stands. I must have misremembered that. He doesn't talk about the content of the targets on this thread. I know there was another thread in ye-olden days about that and I know that unacceptable/offensive target content was a concern. It's what gave Tim the idea to provide the silhouette targets that they have now. Before that thread you couldn't even have those.
  8.   srhecmanager (their top dog) mentioned in an old post that there are 2 reasons for it. One is that their target stands are too narrow to accomodate the full-sized silhouette targets. Sure you can stick one on there, but it causes more people to hit the wooden frames than with a single small target. Second is because it's a state-run range that caters to all citizens and (IIRC) has as part of its mandate to introduce new shooters to the sport. It's detrimental to that mission to have parents take their kids there for a fun day shooting only to have the kids see others shooting targets of POTUS, creepy zombies, zombie POTUS, or just plain old bad guys. Most 6-year olds aren't capable of understanding why the person next to them is shooting at a "person" but they're being told repeatedly in every safety talk to never point the gun at a person.       I wonder if they charge you $10 for every pellet that hits above their magic line. "Thanks for coming in today, sir. That'll be $237.50"
  9.   I already have an external drive on my TiVo. I'd have to figure out how to attach it to a disk array.
  10. Nope.....   I was kind enough to tell him it was way over priced and should be $12-$15. He said (in a panicked voice) "I know! But when was the last time you saw ANY?" I said..."This morning. At my house."
  11. Yep. My kid brother called me a few weeks ago when he found WWB 9mm for $25 a box. He wanted to know if I wanted him to get some for me. :screwy:
  12. Cotton kindling comes from two words: survival tampon   :D     Don't forget that a Zippo is stuffed full of cotton. If you ever find yourself in a real survival situation and you run out of lighter fluid, you can use that fluid-soaked cotton to get something started with the sparks from the flint. I've learned to use my firesteel, but I still take a freshly-fueled Zippo on every camping/hiking trip. I also take the firesteel of course.   Like was said above, simple tasks get harder when you're surviviing. If I can have fire with the flick of a thumb and the turn of a wheel, I'll take it.
  13. I had the same experience trying my firesteel for the first time. If you're using grass, get plenty of it. Yeah it burns fast, but if you use enough of it it will burn long enough to get small twigs going. The sparks will light cotton balls pretty well.   I saw a cool survival fire thing when searching for something else.Take an old disposable lighter that's all used up and cut the bottom off. Shove in as many vaseline-soaked cotton balls as you can get in there then cap it off with wax. Now you have flamable materials and the lighter's flint to get it going. Small and light and a lot easier than the firesteel, which then becomes a backup to your backup.
  14.   Maybe. He also says something about her complicity/involvement for "years" so he kind of sells her out a bit on that one.
  15. That's too much work putting that on every day. I'm just going to get some of these: http://www.buzzfeed.com/gustonyc/new-product-the-ab-hancer-2nz2
  16. I saw that Goodletsville gun shop had an M&P-15 Sport last week for $675 out the door. You can probably still build one for around that price, but just barely and only if you shop for sales on your parts and are patient.
  17. The only thing about that episode that I saw coming was the end of Gomez. I knew they might kill off Hank, but thought Walt would have made a deal for him. The way they played it out was better. It was fitting for both Jack and Hank to go the way it did.   Walt's phone call was epic. What I don't get is Walt's total failure in operational security. Here's a guy that hides extra cell phones in the air vents, keeps his clean clothes outside the meth-mobile, etc.etc. but talks on the phone like that to his wife when she simply says "No" when asked if the cops are there? Hey dumbass! Yeah, the cops are there! Your son called them saying you tried to stab your wife and she's got blood on her! He also knows his DEA uncle is dead and that his mom and aunt said you're a drug lord. Dontcha think he might mention that to the detectives that show up? Dontcha think that might make them use surveilance of every kind they can get their hands on?   I suspect we'll see less of Walt next week. Something still has to happen to make the house become abandoned. My thought is simply that Walt stays away for a while under his new identity from Saul's guy. Marie spills the beans on Skylar to the cops (of course, why wouldn't she?) so Skylar goes away to lady-prison for a while. The kids go to Marie. I see next week being mostly about Skylar and the kids, and Jesse.     Walt then comes back to town (with hair) in the final episode with the MG and gets the ricin from the old house. Then it's off to finish off some old business/revenge/reclaim his money/whatever with Frank and the boys and probably Lydia (and maybe Jesse if he's still alive by then).     It would be sweet justice if they have Jesse be the one to off Walt.     Frank's a stone-cold killa, but Todd's a freakin psycopath. That dude has "20/20 Special Report" written all over him. Neighbors: "He was such a nice boy. He helped me around the house with chores. I never thought he'd have 27 dismembered bodies hidden under his house"
  18. No, but I saw a neat report on CBS Sunday morning about a year ago where the old timers on some island off the European coast whistle. It's a real craggy island with deep ravines so it takes too long to walk around the ridges to talk so they whistle. They've developed a whole language made of complex whistles that carry really well through the ridges and wind. Like your experience, each person has a unique sound and they can tell one another apart from their sound. It's a dying art there too.
  19. I had gotten behind and have been avoiding this thread like the plague. All caught up now.   AWESOME!!!!   Confession was fantastic.       I'm with Anna Gunn in this one. There's hardly an episode that goes by that I'm not left laughing at something. It's not the ha-ha kind of funny, but the "holy crap! I can't believe they actually pulled that off/it blew up in such spectacular fashion/ or I DID NOT see that coming and it's hilarious! 'Confession' is a great example. I was rolling when I saw Hank and Marie looking totally dumbstruck as they watched the video. Fantastic stuff. Saul's always good for a laugh in the ha-ha kind of way.   +1 bazillion on your second thought.     Still too early to figure out what's going to go down, but my prediction is that Gomie's a goner. Hank's phone call to Marie was meant to be a 'last call' but it was obviously so. Is that because it's the end of Hank so they're sending him off with that, or is it just to throw us off the scent? Nothing else in this series has been what it seems.   The only way the shootout with federal agents is ending is for Hank and Gomie to die or surrender. If they surrender, not sure why the skinheads would let them live. What would be their angle for keeping Gomie and/or Hank alive? The only angle I can come up with is that Walt intervenes saving Hank's life or else he won't cook. Once the cooking's done, Walt has to have a way out that gets him and either Jesse or Hank or both out of there. At the start of season 5 I thought the pig was for the DEA. Now I'm more convinced it's for Frank, Todd, and the boys. The poison is for Lydia. It's going to go in her tea. Walt's realizing that while he may have left the business, he left a business that's functional. He has to wrap that up. Taking out Todd, the skinheads,and Lydia does that.   The next episode is called 'Ozymandias' which is a poem from Percy Shelley:    
  20.   I remember it now that its location is described. It's the same non-compliant sign as Nashville West Costco. "No firearms allowed on property" or something like that.
  21.   You can make flat bread and beer with millet. Forged is inedible.
  22. BTW, the real deal has started...... :rock:   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/70184-tgo-lowers-action-required/
  23. That wouldn't make it against any law to carry. They can say "no blue shirts on Tuesdays" in their membership rules but that doesn't make it against the law. All they can do about your blue shirt on a Tuesday is ask you to leave and revoke your membership. Same as having a handgun if the only prohibition is in their membership rules.   The only way to make it against any law would be to have a proper sign posted.
