We have a Cabelas in Louisville. I am there at least once a month since it opened.    It is larger than a Bass Pro, but similar sales model with less emphasis on fishing.   The prices aren't bad, the ammo is comparable with any LGS, and there are more choices than Walmart, though higher in cost.   The guns are competitive, but inventory is where they beat anyplace I have ever visited before.   Of course I still have the excellent choice of living halfway between Buds Gun Shop in Lexington and Cabelas in Louisville. Not to mention I have a LGS across the street who price matches Buds and will order anything for me. So that is where I normally do my shopping.

Over the last year I have frequented several retail locations that sell ammo. Walmart, Rural King, Cabelas, LGS, etc...   Save for .22LR, every caliber has been in stock in a variety of flavors. Maybe not every trip, but I have been able to purchase all calibers I need.   I have also struck lucky I suppose, because on multiple times .22LR has been in stock, in bulk at Cabelas.

I never heard of no native American's speaking English as a native tongue before the white man came...         My ancestors didn't all speak English when they came here. Some of them spoke English, some of them spoke German, some of them spoke Hebrew.                       I don't mean this as inflammatory, derogatory or as an attack on anyone:   I find it small minded and bigoted to think that an American is not accepting of fellow Americans, regardless of language.   The United States has no 'official language.'   Taken from answers.usa.gov:   "There is no "official" language for the United States, although some individual states list English as their official language. If you would like the United States or your state to adopt an official language, you should contact your elected officials. The federal government is currently required to provide access to federal programs and federally assisted programs for people with limited English proficiency. To access more information about this topic, please visit the Limited English Proficiency website."         To answer the question, I liked the commercial and I found it beautiful how the melody remained the same, regardless of the language, and that is what I believe we were all meant to take away from it.

Can't transport Tannerite after it has been mixed.     I find that a can of soda is pretty much the best bang for the buck on a reactionary target, I like clay skeets as well for a cost effective target.   Of course cost effective at one shot per target is a subjective term.

My daughter keeps having a fit for one of these, they have them at the Rural King.    I think it might be fun, but I have a hard time thinking it would be $80 worth of fun.

I never use my grenades, so I will drop on of them and suicide to refill my ammo, no point in helping someone pad this kills.

He was a good actor.   Shame he had his demons.

Make sure you duct tape some trauma plates on to it just in case. What if the Bad Guy is armed with a .338 Lapua or bigger?   Do you carry a Kel-Tec Sub2k in a briefcase as well? Cause then you could line the inside of the briefcases with some plates as well for even added protection.

I have an old Epiphone Les Paul Special II, the cheap of the cheap. I like it, for a cheap guitar.   I bought my daughter a cheap Fender/Squier Strat with a SSH setup last year, and it has one of the fastest necks I have ever touched. It blew my mind for a cheap guitfiddle.

I have several hundred dollars worth of airsoft guns from Airsplat.   When I used to be the night shift supervisor I on Friday nights after the shift I would lock the doors, turn off the lights and a free for all would ensue.   Company morale as at a high point.   That was years ago, but I still have a slew of guns.   The Automatic Electric Guns come in any flavor you could think of, from cheap plastic to high end all metal for several hundred. AEGs are almost always rifles.   The gas guns, which shoot green gas (propane with an oil conditioner) start at $50 nonblowback, blowback guns are higher, but they operate identical to their real world counterpart.   The fun part comes with how inexpensive they are, but that can be deceiving after a dozen guns...

Airsoft guns can be addictive.

Holden vehicles have been available in the states for a while, Pontiac carried them through the `00s as the GTO and G8. The new Chevrolet SS is also a Holden Commodore, same as the two Pontiacs before it.         Ford is making some fun cars, the Fiesta ST and the Focus ST both rate highly against hot hatches from Europe. Nearly everything from Ford right now is available with either a turbo or a supercharger.   I don't know what you consider 'affordable' but the Fiesta ST starts under $20k and the Focus ST is only a few stacks more at $26k.   The other side of the Ford coin is that you can get a 300HP 30+MPG Mustang for $22k. Something like that has never been available anywhere before it.   I am a little biased, but Ford is doing good right now.                 As for Kia, my brother bought one new in 2003, a Spectra? He has driven it since, and I know that after two years the quality of that car was less than my (at the time) fifteen year old Toyota.   They currently have decent reputations and a lot of rabid fans, but I would prefer to hold out and see how these nice new 'quality' cars look in five years.   With that said, the local dealer up here keeps offering a Rio and a Soul for one payment of $222. That is something that is not easy to ignore.

Looks like he is gonna be full of character.   Good looking dog.

I do year to year, and I know I constantly get offers for ~$300 life member.   It is also possible to opt out of the snail mail and just have your inbox bombarded.      Honestly I find the magazine and the peace of mind that I am at the least doing something with someone to protect my rights worth the cost and the little hassle.

I have worn a beard for nearly twenty years. I wash it with face soap and shave it off once a year.   Other than that I keep it trimmed three seasons of the year and go mountain man in the winter.   I haven't ever kept any oil or used any fancy conditioner on it.               I do know that last time I shaved it off my dog growled at me and my daughter refused to hug and kiss me goodnight for at least a week.

We had a similar incident last year here in Louisville.

That is awesome.   I have always been a HUGE ZZ Top fan.

I have seen the 'bully sticks' at Rural King, but they seem to be the smaller ones, they appear to be rolled up leather?   The wife suggested them this weekend but I was hesitant to pay $6 for what I was convinced would be a five minute toy.   That is why I like the pig ears, I give them to her as treats, one a day and they run $.79.   I really would like to find a $1 or thereabouts chew that lasts here at least a day. The pig femur has been the closest, but she lost interest after she ate the knuckles.

We tried the bitterant spray.   Must make some great dog seasoning.

Bandit is nearly 6 months old. We had her spayed at the first of the month. She is still hell on wheels. She was 35 pounds on the 6th. She has mastered verbal and visual commands for: 'sit,' 'paw,' 'kiss,' 'lay down,' 'stay,' 'fetch rope,' and 'fetch ball.' We started about a month ago on the Frisbee, and from an even start she can catch it at 10 foot with no head start. With a head start and a launch off of something (couch, bench, etc..) she can catch it reliably 80% of the time. Her other games are obviously fetch, tug-o-war and a new one we started that I call rope jump. I will hold her tug-o-war rope at shoulder height and she will jump to retrieve it. This is her favorite game, and relates to her 'fetch rope' visual cue, I hold my arm out at shoulder length. I have been using this to transition into the Frisbee. The heathen is completely over her fear of dogs, and it is a nightly fight to keep her out of Bandit's kennel. As a matter of fact, after Bandit had her surgery earlier this month, Rebecca slept in the floor on a pallet next to her kennel for a week. Bandit thinks she is a lap dog at times, and has no problem cuddling with anyone who wants to sit on her couch. She even loves the cat, who fails to return all of that boisterous love. Even now, at her size, she thinks the back of the couch is her spot. Bandit is house broken and car broken. She LOVES car rides. She is friendly if shy around other dogs but after a few minutes she is more than willing to play. The only problem has been barking, but as the wife encourages it, I have resolved to praise her for barking at shadows at night. I am not thrilled about this, but it comforts the wife to know that nothing will sneak up on her. Including the dreaded Kroger sack in the back yard. Her arch-nemesis... Well and the chewing. We have lost to date a coffee table, three dining room tables and a computer desk. Pig ears? 3 minutes. Rawhide disks? 2 minutes. Monster rawhide bones? 15 minutes if she stops to play. The record so far goes to a pig femur. It took her an hour to have to tear it down to a 4" section and eat the knuckles. I am thinking of trying antlers, but I am loathe to pay $20+ and find out she can destroy one in a day. Bandit is a great dog and has been a great asset to our family.

I have used them several times in the past for work trucks. Never had a complaint.    When we had the hailstorm in Knoxville a few years ago I had to schedule half my fleet for new windshields, it took them a week to get to me (it would have been next day if I were willing to drive my fleet to London Kentucky.)   I was pleased with them and they took care of me.

Man my life sure would be better if I only got what I wanted too...         It doesn't really matter if you can quote all the law if the officer that responds wants to arrest you. Sure, you can beat it in court, after you bail out, and pay a lawyer and miss work...     Pretty bad shame that a simple question at the office would solve it.

Recently I have taken to picking a movie from Netflix that seems semi-interesting and giving it a whirl.    Sometimes I get something good. Sometimes I get something really bad.       The Warrior's Way was something really good.   I see this movie has negative reviews and was considered a bomb. This confused me.   I grew up on some good stuff. Some fond memories of good epic movies. Great westerns. Some seriously good quips from good actors. Great scores. Fast paced action, but still time for a meaningful look.   I rewatched The Good, The Bad and The Ugly last weekend.    It is relevant.   That is a classic with all the scope of a large backdrop. A true cinematic masterpiece.     Now, the plot is different, as a matter of fact, other than having some truly awesome characters, the two plots had nothing in common.    What they did have in common was the pace, the magnitude and the scope of what was to be entailed. Sure, The Warrior's Way had CGI. A lot of it. But a filmmaker uses the medium of the day. There were the long, wide shots. It shows the desperation of the characters, of the scene. There were the close intense shots. A gun riding in the holster, a hand resting near it.   The violence was there, as is common in today's films, but it was done in a fashion that softened it. Shadows, fine contrast. Sure you had your gratuitous closeup gore, but it was interspersed.   The films was a nice mash up of a Samurai and Cowboy. A fantasy of a last man standing, running, but running right into what he thought he was leaving. I think this was the film Tarantino wanted to make with Kill Bill. This film pulled it off without the filmmaker having to tell me in an interview what he was working for.           Much as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly wasn't appreciated fully upon it's release, I feel The Warrior's Way is one that will be viewed in years to come as a classic of the lone warrior genre.     I just felt like passing that along, I think there might be a few here that would enjoy it.

Grinding is free. It requires labor to grind, file and finish, but at the end you are only out labor.   If you replace the FSB you have to buy one, wait for it to get there (or drive to get it.) You then have the labor of removing the muzzle device, unpinning the old FSB, fitting the new FSB, pinning (or otherwise attaching the new FSB) and then reattaching the muzzle device.   I don 't understand why you think replacing would be easier.   The installed FSB is known good. Functions now. He just needs to make it smaller to fit under a rail.             Either solution works, just for some folks, buying a new one isn't always the best way.
