Not acting weird in a Wal-Mart is a sure way to bring attention to yourself. Walk around in hot pink tights and a Superman cape and everyone will ignore you.

They are not posted. Can a mod change the title to have a question mark? Just scrolling through the threads made me think they had just posted. -
Nevermind.... Question answered by their website.

I spent the weekend at Frozen Head State Park with fellow TGOers D3vo and Poolboy, plus another non TGO buddy. What a great park. The primitive campsites are great. We arrived Friday at about lunch time and had our pick of campsites. After lunch, we hiked the Panther Gap trail and split off to Emory Gap Falls. Saturday was North Old Mac up to Tub Spring and then on up to the summit of Frozen Head. We made it back via South Old Mac and cooked up some dinner in the campfire. Red potatoes and carrots with butter, rosemary, and thyme to go with our NY strips. The Glock should make up for the girlie paper plates. We had an eerie owl start hooting the first night, then a racoon decided he wanted some dinner and rummaged our trash cans on Saturday night. Good times. <<pic removed>>

On Fire model on sale at Woot: Sellout. $24.99 + $5 S&H. http://sellout.woot.com/sale/25900 Not the deal of the century, but it looks like a decent price if someone's looking for something like this.

We haven't had an official TGO gathering at CHMR since October.

My cast iron skillet is a C&R item. It's from my grandmother.

I think that Bass Pro is missing out on a great opportunity at Opry Mills. They need to re-open their mall entrance and pay to have the Vera Bradley store moved directly across from it. The number of bored husbands on their smartphones in front of that store is phenomenal. Other than the Bass Pro counter, I don't know that I've ever seen a gun store in a mall. Maybe GnL 3 should open up across from Vera Bradley. High overhead, but huge foot traffic.

Someone (Fallguy )correct me if I'm wrong on this: The way the TCA is written, deadly force can be used to protect yourself or another if the requirements for deadly force are met. The funny thing is, what this guy did is ilegal in TN. We don't get to use the threat of deadly force to stop a life/limb threatening perp, only to use the force itself. LEOs can do that, but non-LEO citizens can't. That said, no DA in his right mind would try for a charge on that techincality given the facts of this case. At least, that's my non-attorney understanding of the TCA.

I have a 5x that fits behind the PA red dot. I have a quick disconnect mount now, but will probably pick up a flip-to-side soon. It co-witnesses with the iron sights, so if the battery dies, I can still use irons w/o removing the red dot.

I have one from Primary Arms. It's plenty bright in daylight. Very pleased with it.

Stones River handgun is adjustable at 5, 10, and 15 yards, and 50 feet. Rifle is adjustable at 10, 25, 50, and 100 yards, plus two 200 yard only lanes. Targets have to be non-silhouette targets unless you buy some from them. I'm glad they added that option, but their silhouette targets suck. Mostly because the posts of the target frames are spaced too close together for a normal sized silhouette target. Stick to dinner-plate sized round targets or smaller and you'll be fine. Charlie has been working on a longer range up by the house for a while, I know he was looking at 200 or 300 yards for it, but I don't know that it's open.

Agreed. P90X switches from 6 days a week to (IIRC) 3 once you have reached your target weight/tone/BMI. And I think they are shorter workouts, but I'm not sure. It switches from change mode to maintenance mode. Power 90 us indeed less intense. It's Power90 then P90X, then P90X2. I hear that X2 will punish even P90X graduates.

Here's a link for the Hunter Safety course from the TWRA: http://www.state.tn.us/twra/huntered.html I did mine at Donelson Christian and it was excellent. I'm sure the on-line course is fine, but in-person has a lot of value. They'll go over the license requirements as part of the course as well as talk about hunting on public land vs. private.

Do the test at the beginning to see if you're ready for P90X. It's important. Get a heart rate monitor if you start it, especially for the cardio stuff. I can't stress this enough...go slow at the beginning. No matter how easy you think you're taking it, you're probably still overdoing it the first few times. Tony Horton is a great motivator. He'll make you want to push out more reps, espec. when the girl in the video is doing more than you are. DON'T DO IT. Give it time. After my first run at the first video (chest and arms), I slept for maybe 2 hours a night for about 3 or 4 nights due to the pain in my triceps. I really thought I hade torn something, but it was just extreme tightness from over exertion. The nutrition is very important. I'd reccomend starting the nutrition plan 3 or more days before trying the first workout. It will help get your body properly fueled for an intense workout. You don't need their expensive supplements/shakes/etc. Do some googleing to find some DIY mixes that are a lot cheaper and have the same/similar content.

Nice. Now where's the bayonet?

I always thought of Bill as the kind of guy that would be a lot of fun to hang out with for a weekend, but to whom you'd never mention that you have a sister.

Converted generator to propane and natural gas
monkeylizard replied to bigwakes's topic in Survival and Preparedness
Another benefit is that propane and natural gas burn a lot cleaner in the engine. The engine should last longer and need less maintenance vs running it on gas. -
Unless the range rules state otherwise, yes.

hunting in davidson county. not sure where to post this.
monkeylizard replied to me04070's topic in Hunting and Fishing
Davidson is split into 2 districts, Urban Services and General Services. Nashville Municipal Code 11.12.080 (A) says discharging a firearm in the urban services is a no-no, but © makes an exception for hunting, even in the urban services district. So hunting in all of Davidson county is legal during daylight hours so long as all other safety requirements are met (distance from a dwelling, not across or from a road, etc.) It's hard to imagine a place in the urban services district where those conditions could be met, though. But the OP said he was in the general services district, where there's still quite a lot of open land in some areas. Thank you, Cumberland River. Personally, 10 yards is a little too close to a roadway for me, esp. if your vehicle is close by, but it's the TWRA agent's call that matters.
