AIUI, the Army has to do some work on their side first to get them ready for transfer to the CMP. I'll be surprised if we see any of them before summer.

Nah, just a cracked case. It's the scratch-n-dent special. Says it works just fine....Come on...gamble with that $1,850.00.

Amazon has it for the low low price of $1850.00

^^^ This is why TGO is awesome.

Yeah....always be sure to order one for yourself if you want it BEFORE sharing it with TGO.  :)

Notifying the community of deals or availability of something hard to find is never a bad thing unless you're promoting your own business w/o being a TGO Vendor.

  Oh, so it's very different there. I didn't know the prosecution could file an appeal. I assumed it was the defense filing it.

Most shops have a 1 hour labor min. charge, even though the belt will only take them about 15-20 minutes to replace. So yeah, you'll probably be paying $100-150 when the actual value is closer to $60-75.   There are loads of YouTube videos on how to do it. Maybe you can watch one and decide for yourself if you think you can DIY. It's a trade off of time v. money. DIY also gives you the satisfaction of having done it yourself but at a shop you get the satisfaction that someone else busted his knuckles instead of you.

We don't serve their kind! They'll have to wait outside.

Now that I think about it, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start adding small items like that while building up the personal stash instead of adding them on at the end. If things go south before you get all your necessaries together, you'd have something to trade away to fill in your gaps. At around $9 for 100 plain paper matchbooks on Amazon, it's an easy thing to add. They will go bad if they absorb much moisture. You could stick a small desiccant pack in the box, saran-wrap it then dip it in paraffin and they'd probably stay good for as long as you'd care about them. Or don't bother and just buy a fresh box of 100 every few years to replace the old ones. At the price, it may not be worth bothering with trying to keep them super dry.

yeah, I don't think that was the outcome they were hoping for....

Once you have enough supplies of all kinds (food, water system, personal supplies, etc.) to last you and yours for a long while, then yes, adding shelf-stable things that you can and will trade away with no detriment to you is a good idea. Those can be smaller items like you mentioned for small transactions (bar of soap in exchange for box of nails, for example) or they can be more valuable items like full propane tanks, hand tools, etc. Bottles of liquor are pretty good to have on hand too.     Or you die of natural causes having never experienced the apocalypse and your legacy in your local town is to always be remembered as that crazy old man with a bedroom full of soap.

It's still there, but the sticker body is clear, the glass is tinted, and the black gunbuster is hard to find. Similar to many Nashville libraries, but a little larger then those.

I can't believe nobody has said belt yet. That's likely the problem.

I've not been in, but have walked past it many times. Never seen any gunbuster, so if it's there's it's not easy to find.

Yes, the Grand Ole Opry House is posted.

<<minor spoiler alert>>   Yeah, it wasn't exactly a closely guarded secret, what with it being alluded to in the previews plus the whole re-imaging of Spectre. But the movie doesn't reveal that little tidbit until the end by using another name for Waltz's character. Of course by then you've figured it out unless you don't know the old movies and have no idea who Ernst Blofeld is.

  Way to toss a spoiler in there w/o a spoiler alert......   :)

This was just the low hanging fruit. There are people actively working to get the fairgrounds shut down and sold off to their buddies in real estate development. Any dollars that they can shave off the operating revenues to make the fairgrounds look worse financially is of benefit to their plans. I expect to see other things get the boot too, or they'll use the lost gun show revenue as an excuse to raise the rates for everyone else, sending smaller events like the toy train show, or the bead show off to cheaper pastures. Then that revenue stream dries up. Wash-rinse-repeat. They won't stop until we have condos on that land.

No gun stuff, but got a nice price on a 29" ultrawide monitor. 16:9 is for suckers!   I was crazy tempted by all of the $199 LCPs flying around, but I stayed strong.

It's about time for the news to be chock full of home heating oil price stories again. Maybe Chucktshoes can get worked up over that. If not, I'm afraid he'll have to wait until late May when the next round of shark attack stories makes the news reels.

  We haven't had a good salmonella outbreak in a while...

  Spectre is good. It's not as good as Skyfall, but still good. If you like the old Bond movies, you'll like the subtle and sometimes not so subtle homages to them.

I go to the theater a few times a year. It has to be a big movie where the larger screen has a significant impact. That's simply because I'm a cheap SOB and hate shelling out that kind of scratch for a movie. For me to go, the movie has to be either a big action movie (The Avengers, Star Wars, etc.), have large sweeping cinema scenes (The LoTR series, etc.), or a series that I'm hooked on (007 comes to mind). I also go if it's something my wife wants to see, but she's even cheaper than I am. Our local theater does $5.50 matinees from 3p-5p (or 4p-6p, I can't recall). We try to hit those whenever we can.   I almost never go to anything on opening weekend, partly from the crowds, but mostly because I just get busy and forget that movie X premiers on Y date. Then I'll hear something on the news about how ell it's doing and I'll thing "oh yeah, I wanted to go see that.".
