Glenn was pretty clear about why. He said something like "What? with your dad in the house?" He was clearly uncomfortable with that. Glenn's a good guy. I'm glad he was able to step up this time and finish off zombie-Randall. Maybe that will break him out of this self-loathing funk.

+1 Hershel's world view is changing, but I doubt he'd look fondly on Glenn shacking up with his daughter under his own roof, pocketwatch or not.

I finally watched it. Best episode all season and the first this year with an "oh crap! Zombies!!!1!!" ending that leaves me wanting more. I doubt they'll go there with it, but I wonder if Laurie was pushing for some kind of resolution like this. A few episodes back she was telling Rick how dangerous Shane was and that he'll protect what he considers "his" and Shane considers Carl, Laurie, and the baby as "his". Then knowing the tension between Rick and Shane over Randall's fate and over leadership of the group, she goes out there and dumps Shane. Was she trying to force his hand to make a move on Rick and trusted Rick would finally do what needed doing? As for the horde, I doubt it's Randall's crew. More likely it's the horde from the town that moved in when they picked up Randall. It felt like T-Dog had more lines in this episode than the whole spring season combined, and he only had about 4. I was wondering the same thing about Darryl's gun. Carl must have gone back after Dale's death and got it.

Maybe he had it tucked in some stylish sweat pants, sans-a-belt, sans-a-holster. -

I dabble a little. I know a lot less than I'd like to. I have a pair of Nikon 10x 50's that I use along with a cheap Celestron scope. I'm too close to the city to pick out many details of stars, but the Celestron gives really good views of the lunar landscape. Very clear crater edges. I was able to find all of Jupiter's Galilean moons with the Nikons on a tripod a couple of years ago when they were lined up nice and neat. Star Walk is a great iPhone app. It uses the accelerometer, compass, and GPS to display a view of the stars. Imagine it's a clear window. Whatever is behind it apperars on screen with labels and info. You can also drop out the canned black sky background and it will use the iPhone camera instead for a real-time image of what you are seeing. Lots of other cool features too like various light waves, lookups of planets, stars, constellations, satellites, and the ISS, then an arrow to direct you to their location. http://vitotechnolog.../star-walk.html

Forget the catfish. He needs ill-tempered sea bass.

Centerfire is banned at night, but rimfire is not. But as R_Bert pointed out, the list of critters that can be hunted at night is limited. So one could presumably hunt raccoons 24 hours a day, but must use rimfire from 30 min after sunset until 30 min before sunrise. Then switch back to the .50 BMG. Right?
-
So the TWRA regs would then be stating that you can use rimfire at night, but only on those critters listed on page 16 for night hunting?

I don't see any NCAA brackets threads yet, so here we go. I have created a brackets group on CBS Sportsline for those who want to play. No money involved. No prizes. Just bragging rights until next year. http://tngunowners.m...cbssports.com/e The group password is centerfire The deadline for submitting your brackets is Noon Eastern Time on Thursday. Scoring rules: Round 1 = 1 point + seed Round 2 = 2 points + seed Round 3 = 4 points (no bonus) Round 4 = 8 points (no bonus) Semifinal = 16 points (no bonus) Final = 32 points (no bonus) Total score of the championship game is the tie breaker The "+ seed" in the first two rounds means that the points awarded will be increased by the winning team's seed. If you pick a 16 to knock off a 1, you're crazy, but you'd get 17 points if it happens. The + seed bonus is only in play for the first 2 rounds.

Probably a Glock. -
The TWRA Hunting Guide doesn't say anything about after dark being a no-no in and of itself. It says no predator calls, night vision, or centerfire at night. .17 HMR is rimfire. Am I misunderstanding the regulations? http://www.eregulati...HD_FINAL_LR.pdf Pages 18, 19

This should be required reading for all P-22 owners. Much of what he has written about and done to his is no longer needed. He reported this stuff to the manufacturer who made many of the changes in later generations. http://www.freespeech.com/1917-1911M_P22_bible.pdf

+1 to the CCI mini mags. Wally World seems to be the cheapest on those. Round nose or HP don't seem to make much difference. After a few hundred of those, I can use the bulk pack stuff, but still get the occasional failure to fully cycle. The mini mags never fail to cycle. Mine's a 2nd gen and the hammer won't drop with the mag out.

So far, there's not much story on him, so they could take him any direction they want. As for Merle, I dion't expect he'll show up at the farm. Well, not unless he's the ring-leader of the bunch that Rick, Glenn, and Herschel ran into in town. Otherwise, it would be too coincidental that he left Atlanta in the same direction and happened to come across the same farm while wandering about on his own.
-
So far T-Dog's back story from the writers is "we needed a black guy in the group so we could have Daryl face the racism instilled in him by by Merle. Now that we have that more or less settled, we'll let him stand in the corner every 3rd episode so the viewers don't wonder where he went." It's a shame. They can do so much more with him if they try.

I'm pretty sure some of them are built from actual tank parts.

The reason the HSC is long is because it's during the week. TWRA offers a Friday night + all day Saturday option, or the multi-night week days, or online + a field day for the shooting and some final instruction. HSC is lots of stuff on basic safety, including wilderness survival and how not to fall out of a tree stand. Then stuff on basic firearm types. Then stuff about hunting techniques, game management, etc. It's pretty easy and the materials are good at presenting the subject matter. I was dreading it, but ended up enjoying it a lot. The final shoot is a single-shot .22. 3 shots IIRC at a close range target. The instructors are more interested in you demonstrating safe handling than making one ragged hole in the paper. Don't worry about the HCP class. If you know the difference between a revolver and a rock, pay attention to when deadly force can be used, practice safe handling on the range, and can keep from shooting your neighbor's target, you'll pass.

If you're LEO or current/retired military, you can check out Bud's Police Supply. Same people as Bud's Gun Shop, with discounted pricing but a more limited selection. Smith & Wesson also runs the occasional rebate on their M&P products. Sometimes it's for everyone, and sometimes for LEO/Military. Timed right, the rebate combined with good on-line pricing can get someone a quality rifle for a great price.
