For skeet, trap and sporting clays, Cedar City is close. It's a club, but open most weekends. http://www.cedarcitygunclub.com/

There is a Tandy store off Harding in Nashville close to Sams. I don't think it's been open too long.

Also known as John Deere 644E Loader, other favorites include, EBFL(Extended boom fork lift), DTC(6k forklift), RTCH (Rough Terrain Container Handler).  Always fun when you transfer to the civilian life and fill out a job application listing equipment training.

Post a picture if you could. That might get some ideas flowing. Also check with the workers at Woodcraft in Cool Springs, most of them are craftsmen.

Yep, one of my many other hobbies! LOL I've raced just about everything since the late 80's. Finally reduced my collection to mainly carpet oval, REVO, 1/8 buggy and a slash for the kids to play with. Check out: www.nashrcracer.com Thunder is the local indoor track: carpet on-road & oval, dirt off-road. Lots of good guys there and fun times. Matt

If you look at the lower right side you can see a dump truck. They wanted to block off the whole fence line but we didn't have enough equipment so it was spaced out. For whatever good that did??!!

Here's a link to the TN District for the Royal Rangers.  They have a list of some of the outposts.   http://105759.agdistricts.org/

Yeah, there is no snack time but there are always sugar cookies!

Congrats! It's great to see future Devil Dogs with a plan. A travel tip for the island: Buy "skin so soft" and thin with alcohol in a small spray bottle(pocket size). It's a little greasy but it will drown the sand fleas. Otherwise, "Stand still and don't move, cause they have to eat too!" Oh, the memories!

I think they depart at 8 am, Tuesday morning at gate B6 if anyone is flying out. Also there is an "Armed Forces Day" May 19 11am-1pm at Charlie Daniels Park in Mt. Juliet.

Channel 1 is steering servo Channel 2 is throttle servo Channel 3 is open Battery plugs into batt. slot You can plug them in to any slot and check with your radio.

It depends on what your plans are, back yard bashing or racing. With brushless motors and lipo batteries the run time advantage of nitro has been reduced. Nitro chassis are beefy and tend to have less breakage. I would choose something that you can get parts for locally, instead of having to depend on mail order. Nitro needs glo plugs and fuel. Electric once you buy everything there aren't too many trips to the store unless something breaks. I've raced the Traxxas revo and Kyosho 1/8 buggies in the past with little problems. As for electric I have tried them all, just stick with the top brands. Check out Thunder Raceway in Nashville, they have weekly racing in onroad, oval and dirt offroad. I agree with the other posts about the Slash, I got my daughter one and I haven't had to fix anything on it yet. If I can help just let me know. I'll link to some sites and shops I use.

Thank you dlm. I'll have to call around when I get them ready.

dlm, Where do you take your brass? I've collected some and was wondering where the best place to take it around Nashville. Is it worth taking alum casings too? Thanks, Matt

Great Movie! I saw an advance screening and enjoyed it. Lot's of action, plus some of the firefights (the boat extraction I think) were shot on a live fire coarse.

I wish I had known that, I've been racing R/C cars for years. Matt

Guys, with money being tight these days I know more people are keeping and repairing their cars. So, I wanted to share a local business that has helped me out this week. I bought a remanufactured engine Oct '09 and have had nothing but trouble with it. It never ran right and started to leak coolant into the exhaust. I replaced the head gasket this spring but the leak came back. I had another older motor I was going to swap it out with and I went to talk to Headworks to see it if it would be compatable and have them check them out. The heads wouldn't work, but they checked out the problem heads and found a crack that hadn't been found when I replaced the gasket. Glen helped me get a replacement head and matched it up with the other one. I don't know if anyone else has done any business with "Headworks of Nashville" but so far so good for me. I'm starting to put the truck back together and I'll let you know how it goes. As for the remanufactued engine, I'll update on that after I get a response from them on this cracked head, with messed up valve seats! Matt

I grew up in Blacksburg and still have family there. I've been checking the papers from there and still no id on the second "victim". I was told earlier today that they believed they had the shooter and he had taken his own life and did not make it off campus. But, more important keep the officer and his family in your prayers, all the LEOs that have been affected this week. Thank you to all who wear a badge! Matt

We did too. Did you get to see the robot? It was fun for the kids.

I think the gates are cash only, I've never seen any one pay with a card. But once you get in there are ATMs around the grounds.

When I clicked the link, the page started to load and then my internet security blocked it. Maybe something, maybe not. Matt

Learn your general orders and rank structure, maybe pack an extra set of chem-light batteries for the field.

I'm a hobby shooter with a limited budget and I purchased a used Charles Daly 12 semi last fall and used it until last spring when I purchased a new Benelli Vinci. I have had good luck with both. The CD was around $200, the company has gone out of business but you can still find them. No problems with it. I purchased the Benelli and have been very happy with it. Very easy to clean and great to shoot (my wife has tried to claim it a few times). They are closer to $1200. I have seen alot of Remington 1100's used too. I hope that helps some. Matt
