  1. . . . and was less than impressed.  If you just have to do this, get on at Ashville NC and take it north to Roanoke VA.  Then get off and come home.  The rest of the Parkway (and the Skyline Drive farther north) is just repetition - up the hill, down the hill, around the curve, thru the tunnel, overlook here, overlook there.  After 400+ miles, that gets kind of dry.   Plus, we ended up in Cherokee NC last nite.  Guess which is the fastest route back to SE Tennessee from the Cherokee area?  Route 129, AKA "The Tail of the Dragon".  After training on the Parkway, we were ready for the Dragon this morning.  :D
  2. I used to keep a 9 inch muskie lure tied onto a pole, just for flinging in the general direction of jet skiers. It helped.
  3. Yeah, let's talk about the SEC. Nobody else is doing it. ;)
  4. I have a right to a time to live and a place to die. Everything else can be taken from me.
  5. Probably a coincidence. I've had motherboards fail when nothing was going on.
  6. My first semiauto was a 1911 in .45 acp. My wife also thought it was fun to shoot.
  7. Sounds like Windows!
  8. Welcome! All of your handguns are now unregistered, the way they're supposed to be.
  9. I have a rifle that is at least 115 years old (5th bonus round) and it shows no signs of old age. ;)
  10. I didn't read the story -- are those Greeks or just more north Africans trying to get to England or Sweden? Edit: BBC says they're partially Syrian, no mention of the non-Syrian contingent. I presume they're transients from Africa - the same ones trying to overrun Italy. All headed to northern Europe - the "land of the big PX".
  11. Netflix and Hulu aren't an option for those of us on satellite internet out here in the boonies.  Satellite TV and OTA are the only choices.
  12. There's always a 'correction' coming, and there will be one after this one.
  13. They have handgun registration in MI and have had as long as I can remember. It used to be disguised as a "safety inspection", but everyone knew what it really was.
  14. The residents of Detroit built that town. Some of them are still proud of their 'accomplishment'.
  15. Way overpriced for a couple of ounces of plastic, imo.
  16.   A parts washer does well.
  17. I carry the +P 158 gr lead semi-wadcutter hollow points. BTW, I've had the opposite experience with Safariland loaders. It was the HK loaders that were dumping in my pocket.
  18. I find wadcutters "out of stock" at Midway or CTD and get put on the notification list. When it comes in, I get several boxes. Starting in about 1996, all S&W j-frames are rated for +P.
  19. Two Safariland speed loaders.
  20. When I timed an FAL barrel, a big steel workbench wasn't enough. That Wilton vise should have been anchored to a yard of concrete.
  21. I've heard that the bottom of San Francisco Bay is littered with such souvenirs.
  22. Welcome!
  23. Congratulations! We need pictures!
  24. Shooting into the air seems to be a lot more common in the city than in rural areas. It seems to be popular in all of Iraq too.
