  1. +1 for Shiloh.   For a driving trip, maybe route 52 http://www.tn52.com/
  2. Adams, TN for the Bell Witch cave around Halloween. Sure it's a bit cheesy, but it's fun.   I still need to get to Fall Creek Falls S.P. It's reportedly excellent.
  3. Mazda doesn't list that on their website. http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=ownersWarranty   When I have seen lifetime warranties on other things besides cars and that part of the warranty isn't usually transferrable even if other sectioons are. If Mazda, or any other maker, sets it up like that then it could be a good differentiating sales tactic. The average buyer isn't likely to keep the car more than 3-7 years before they get tired of it or other parts not covered by the "lifetime" begin to break down like suspension or electronics and the owner decides to get something else. Either way the lifetime on the powertrain wouldn't have to be honored more than 3-7 years on most vehicles they sell.
  4. Paraphrasing someone on TGO when being questioned about carrying a gun...   "You mean you don't? I hope your luck holds out."   sorry, but I can't recall who said it and what the exact line was. I just remember the story being in a convenience store while getting a cup of coffee.
  5. A had assumed post-operative transvestite poultry. That's why I clicked the link. Imagine my disappointment.
  6. If it goes sideways, just about anyone east of the Mississippi without a well concealed, stocked, and defensible position (an accesible large boat on the coast would count) is pretty much screwed.
  7. Last seen headed east bound and down from Texarkana.
  8.   Go back on June 25th, 2016 which is the next time the 25th falls on a Saturday. They'll have plenty.
  9. Someone school me on this. Why is a revolver better against an aggressive* snake than a semi-auto? Do semi's not like rat/snake shot rounds?     *Yes sir, it was being aggressive. I was in fear of my own personal safety and had to put the poor thing down. It broke my heart to do it.
  10. That's still not as bad as when Brown-Forman in Louisville dumped a load of tequila down the drain in 2003. A holding tank was marked as 'Empty" when it was actually full. A worker hooked up a tanker truck and started pumping tequila into the holding tank then left to take a break while waiting for the truck to be emptied. Oops.....1,800 gallons were gone before anyone noticed and shut off the pump.
  11.   FIFY!
  12. No laws against ammo at schools afaik.
  13.   Did you ever try to race Crockett and Tubbs in their Scarab?
  14.   If the aibags blow, a person with their feet on the dash might keep their legs, but may wish they hadn't. There are few worse positions to be in than this one during a collision.   I'm glad they included "Touching glass" in the list. That's my hot button, well that and when my wife gets sunscreen all over the place. That stuff is hard to clean off.
  15. If you're worried about bears, then get bear spray. Far more effective than a handgun and the odds of survival are way better for both you an the bear.
  16. I'd say that far too often those decent thinking LEOs are never in news reports for doing decent thinking things. Stupidity makes the news, regardless of profession. Unfortunately, that means a profession often in the news usually gets a bum rap across the whole lot.
  17.   You can put a shallow plastic tray under the sink. then put a water alert sensor in there. Any water and you'll know about it.
  18. Also, boys and girls, ALL of your supply lines in your home from the cutoffs to the faucets should be the braided lines, NOT the plastic ones. You do not want to receive a call that there is water all over your kitchen floor when you're on another continent....yes...that happened to me.
  19. If you really want to know what's going on with your oil, you need to have it tested. Do a change at 5K and sample some. Do the next one at 7.5K and sample some. Then do one at 10K and sample some. Then compare the test results.   http://www.blackstone-labs.com/
  20.   There you go using logic at a time like this. :)   Yeah, I phrased that incorrectly. I meant that many of the AKs floating around are made with parts made in ComBloc nations.   Ask a person paying $900 for a Century WASR-10 where AK's are made.
  21. ARs are domestically produced. AKs are not. Perhaps there's greater concern that the Obama admin will try to  do some kind of importation restriction via administrative ruling or Executive Order.
  22. I've never been shot in a vest (or otherwise) but to watch the YouTube tough guys "try it out" would make me think it's like getting punched by a gorilla. 2 of those plus a glancing one off my head would put me down quick too.
  23. I have Sabre products. That was suggested to me by a Metro PD buddy. He said it's what they carry. It's CS+OC+UV Dye. http://www.sabrered.com/servlet/StoreFront
  24. I trust ebay's seller rating system. If they have lots of reviews, marked as a "Top Seller" or whatever, there are recent positive reviews, then I say go for it. Odds are those are being done by a business anyway and they really need those positive reviews to keep going.   If the seller is local to you, you can contact them to see the merchandise and do the deal face-to-face outside of ebay. My dad has done a few car deals like that where the seller removed the listing and considered it "sold" to my dad with the agreement that if dad didn't buy it, he'd pay the relisting fee. So far he hasn't had to pay that since most sellers on ebay are reputable.   I've picked up several small electronics parts from sellers in China and Hong Kong without issue. It takes about an extra week for ChinaPost to get it over here, but well worth it since it's just about the only place to find some discontinued parts.
  25. TCA defines "Serious Bodily Injury" as         (A ) A substantial risk of death;       (B ) Protracted unconsciousness;       (C ) Extreme physical pain;       (D ) Protracted or obvious disfigurement;       (E ) Protracted loss or substantial impairment of a function of a bodily member, organ or mental faculty; or       (F ) A broken bone of a child who is eight (8) years of age or less;   Some big angry dude yelling "I'm going to eff you up" to me means some likely combination of B, C, and D.   That said, I'd be doing anything I could to get away because I really really really do not want to deal with the aftermath of an SD shooting, whether it's ruled as justified or not.
