Back to the topic of dinosaurs, even though mastodons were mammals, not dinosaurs: Q: What do you call a blind, prehistoric animal? A: Diyithinkitsaurus

I've seen these pictures before - they were claimed to be of Charlton Heston's gun room. Who knows?

What is it? That's the toe of my size 11 foot it's resting on - it's about 2 inches from the tip of it's hind leg to it's nose and about an inch wide.

You'll probably ignore this, but the best choice is an AR with soft point ammo. Check out the Box O' Truth website.

Tell your boss he's an @sshole and see how freedom of speech works at your job.

Come on down! You'll be in a lot of traffic in the Sevierville area - better you than me.

I agree with you - fewer laws, not more.

We can change the laws in Tennessee - we can legalize the carrying of any knife, clubs, billies, slapjacks and knuckle-dusters. All we have to do is unite and let our legislators know what we want. We don't have to wait for God to descend from Washington and hand it to us.

Josh Randall (Wanted, Dead or Alive) claimed in one of the episodes that his mare's leg, an 1892 Winchester, was a .30-30. He carried .45-70's in his belt though. For some reason that's always bothered me. Back on topic, I don't lust for a mare's leg, but I do lust for an 1892 in .357. I never scraped together enough cash for an EMF Hartford, and now they've stopped selling them.

I don't have the problem on my Linux boxes using Firefox and Opera.

Fascinating articles - seem to explain several people I know or know of.

Being retired, I seldom wear one. The best watch (most durable) I've ever owned is a Timex Ironman that I've had for MANY years.

I took the liberty of re-posting this on another forum I frequent. I hope you don't mind.

Newboy!! I was writing Fortran programs on punch cards in the late 60's.

I cheated on you and went to the S&W forum.

Tip - if your dead/damaged tree is in a location where it or limbs could fall over power lines, your local power company should take them down for free. I've had Volunteer Electric Co-op take down 8 or so trees that were close to the road and power lines. They drop it - you chop it. The last one, an 80', 2 1/2' diameter red oak, I bucked to length in the yard last fall and over the winter a local guy who heats with wood came to my house after work a few days and split it on-site and hauled it off. Can't beat it -- all it cost me was a chain and a little gas & oil. Yeah, I own a LOT of trees, and I don't even own a fireplace or wood stove. But I have a big Stihl saw and a 4' cant hook. All I need now is a timber jack and a pickaroon. Maybe a mule team too . . . .

The crew I hired a couple of weeks ago cost me $200/hr, 2 hr minimum. In those two hours they took down 10 damaged poplar trees for me (several of them 80' tall) and hauled 4 of them into my wooded lot so I wouldn't have to cut them up. For that I got a bucket truck, a Bobcat and about 5 guys with chainsaws. They knew what they were doing and they were licensed and insured. Several of the trees stood between my shed and camper, and they never touched either one. For what you need done, that's probably overkill. You might be able to find a smaller crew with a 1 hour minimum. The licensing and insurance is very important - just ask your homeowners insurance agent.

Stop at the nearest Piggly Wiggly and get some Clifty Farm or Junior Johnson ham. Bring your snow shovel if you're going to move to Crossville.

Yep, the bait is out. Be vewy, vewy quiet . . . .

I'm betting this thread will get someone banned also. Waiting and watching.

I worked 50 states and over 100 countries with a home-made, ladder-line fed, 80 meter dipole that ran from the rear corner of my garage roof, over the peak of the house (and thru a pulley attached to the chimney) and ending at the ash tree on the other side of my front sidewalk. Center height was no more than 30 feet with the ends about 15-20 feet lower. With a good antenna tuner it would put out a signal on any band from 80 to 6 meters. I'm now running a 40 thru 10 vertical antenna (Cushcraft R7) and a 40/80M trap dipole in an inverted-V configuration. I have the room for a tower now but decided I don't really need one anymore. Heck, I never did need one.

Nah, you'll want to stay away from Android phones -- they run Linux and Linux is too complicated for ordinary mortals.
