I'm in. It'll go great with the TGO logo'd t-shirts, keyfobs, polo shirts, beer koozies, calendars, and gun safes that I sell on eBay.

Yes. With your county trustee/clerk. http://www.comptroller.tn.gov/pa/pdf/ElderlyDisabledBrochure.pdf It also applies to certain disabled veterans. http://www.comptroller.tn.gov/pa/pdf/VeteransBrochure.pdf -

I've never really thought of this, but is it kosher? Suppose Guns & Leather set up a booth at a Paducah, KY show, could I buy from a KY resident, have GnL do the transfer there at the show in KY, and take it with me that day? From the ATF FAQ (bold added by me): Would the "in" mean the FFL's business address is the same state as the buyer, or that the actual transfer of physical posession has to occur in the buyer's state?

Anyone have experience with geothermal heating/cooling?
monkeylizard replied to Hershmeister's topic in General Chat
I looked into it a few years ago. IIRC, the break even was around 15 years or so. There were fewer moving parts that could go bad, but at the end of the payback period, you're still sitting on a 15 year old HVAC system. Our electricity in TN is cheap relative to other parts of the country. For me, it didn't make sense. Seemed like it might in places like California with higher electric rates or for someone trying to get off the grid or nearly off the grid. The earth beneath you makes a difference in the cost too. I'd expect east TN to be more costly to install than west TN because of hitting rock sooner, but that's just a guess. Wilson Co. is a rock farm, so I wouldn't expect drilling to be cheap. Edit: Correcting my apparently poor sense of direction. -
It will help a lot with the fall colors. It should be spectacular this year.

And maybe charge fines for early termination if those are spelled out in the lease. -
Varallo's Chili Parlor for lunch. Not open for dinner. Arnold's Country Kitchen for a meat-n-three fix. Open for breakfast and dinner.

Robert's Western World. Also check out The Listening Room Cafe and Station Inn for less party and more focus on the music. The Brewhouse has great food.

http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=how+far+is+it+from+mt.+juliet%2C+TN+to+Frozen+Head+State+Park%3F FYI - The primitive group camp sites can not be reserved. They are first-come-first-served. -
Best motorcycle route from Memphis to Nashville?
monkeylizard replied to maroonandwhite's topic in General Chat
Thanks for reminding me of that. I recind my previous tacit endorsement of The Loveless Cafe. The stickers are still there. They're clear backgrounds on clear glass, so hard to see. They're also very faded now. Add in all the Food Network, TripAdvisor, and Nashville Scene Readers Poll stickers and they would be easy to miss for someone who didn't know they were there. -

Maybe not, but the Fair Housing Act cares about it. It does not care about firearms owners. -

The Constitution is about what the federal gov't can and can't do. It's not about what can/can't be done on private property or between private individuals. As a society, it was determined that certain things should also be prohibited between private parties under certain circumstances, thus the CRA and the FHA. Discrimination based on other factors or during other activities between private parties has not been deemed inappropriate by society in the form of laws. As a society, we have not determined that it is in the best interest of our society to prevent discrimination in public areas or certain private transactions against firearms owners. -

Certain things are protected under federal laws like the Civil Rights Act and the Fair Housing Act. Gun ownership is not one of them, but religion, gender, and race are. -

You're basing this on a false premise. Renting an apartment or leasing a car is NOT the same as financing a home or car. If you buy a home or a car you're the owner of that property whether you financed it or not. If you financed it, the bank holds the title because the house or car itself is the collateral for the loan, but you still own it. They simply have an outstanding claim against your property and will exercise that claim if you fail to pay the loan. But it's still your property. Renting or leasing does not transfer ownership. -

Frozen Head has the best non-backcountry tent camping of any state park I've found so far. Period. That's my little tent on the right side of D3vo's picture. The primitive group camps are perfect for people who don't want to be next to an RV, 5 feet from another campsite, or carry an 80 lb. pack 5 miles into the woods. It's only about a 1/4 mile walk back to the main camp site for the indoor plumbing and showers. It's the perfect balance between primitive and modern for car-based tent camping. As far as I've been able to find, it's the only thing like it in all of the State Parks. Some others have "tent only" camping areas, but they're small gravel pads (aka Chickasaw SP) that are relatively close to one another. They're set up like the main RV-centric campgrounds, just without the RVs and electric hookups. ochretoe...are you listening? We need more primitive small group camps like Frozen Head's. :) -

+1 to Hwy64 to The Natchez Trace. When you get to the end if the Trace, you'll be at the Loveless Cafe. Bonus. Take Hwy 100 all the way in to downtown from there to stay off I-40. -
+1 for GnL.

Breaking Bad: The Middle School musical
monkeylizard replied to monkeylizard's topic in General Chat
To be fair, there is some glamorousness shown in the show. Jessie has a big screen TV, giant stereo, X-Box, etc. He bought is grandmas' house with cash. Walt does come off as a badass when he's Heisenberg and he bought Jr. a new Challenger. The Mexican cartel boss has the house, pool, and ladies. But it's very clear that none of the "stuff" makes either one of them happy. Jessie lost his girlfriend and best friend Combo, then had to push away his latest girlfriend and her kid for their own safety. He's estranged from his parents and doesn't get to see his sister. Except for Walt who is increasingly unstable, Jessie is all alone. Even Skinny Pete and Badger aren't big factors in his life any longer. He started to get along with Mike, only to have Mike tell him he's worthless, then be killed. Gus killed the cartel boss, so fat lot of good the house, pool, and ladies did for him. Yeah...I think I'll start cooking up some blue candy 'cause that sounds like the life I want. -

You forgot about Jessie's 1984 Toyota Tercel. Maybe that's the glamorous part. -
