  1. only directly references GOA comments. It really needs a cite that includes date / location and better yet video actually from Romney on this. And someone is not properly attributing the entire artical - http://billydteacher.wordpress.com/2012/08/17/romney-rejects-gun-control/
  2. Dolomite didn't even recognize me today, and I look just like my avatar....
  3. David set me up on primers and cast 230 gr 45 cal bullets! No better prices, and an awesome guy.
  4. I will be consistent with my comments following the secret vote. The leadership positions need to be changed, just like a diaper and for the same reason. I am still dissapointed in all but 4 of the representatives (that being the four that I understand voted to pass the bill through to the floor). With as many co-sponsors as the bill had, several co-sponsors obviously caved to leadership demand.
  5. I can believe it. Curious about it, so yesterday I tried my .44 Mag Super Redhawk at 125+ yds. and was pleasantly surprised with 185 gr LFNs over 6 gr of Trailboss (moderately light load). My shooting sucks, but no doubt I could mess up someone's day at ~150 yards. Figuring about 10 yards per RV slot, that is only about 15 RVs. A large park might have 50 in a row.
  6. I bet it was really Emily
  7. Hand them a broom.
  8. Check out some Youtube videos such as this one (first one I came to) - [media=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=MlBIC3E1Pes[/media] Search on Youtube for "Ham Radio Station" or Ham Shack" You will find tons of stuff to look at. BTW, bonus SHTF points if you can copy the Morse Code Conversation (which is ~10 WPM) B.
  9. pretty accurate assumptions. It is illegal for ham operators to communicate with non-licensed operators in the ham bands. Most of them expect you to play by the rules, and they are self-policing. You would stick out like a turd in a swimming pool.
  10. My mother-in-law is Peggy Patterson. We have several in-laws and cousins on Braden Flats & Duncan Flats. Peggy was raised in the old community (long gone) that was on top of the mountain on the west side of 116 (about a mile down the ridge, their house was where now is first field on the left).
  11. hmmm.. Duncan Flats... Are you in the Patterson family ?
  12. Rats. I have 4 of his gospel albums on my MP3 Player (and Charlie Daniels too). I guess I'll have to start with Amazing Grace Fortunately, the tune & lyrics stay the same, regardless of the (really, really) stupid stuff the artist does later.
  13. For decent wireless communications in the Southeast US, 40M in the day time, and 80M at night work fairly well. For all intents and purposes, in the Southeast, a typical repeater range is 50-100 miles (with a few specific exceptions). You will not be able to communicate from TN to FL solely via repeater. There are some internet-to-repeater regimes, that allow local use of vhf/uhf radios on one end or the other. Skype works better nowadays. There are a few select high-power VHF stations the Chattanooga area that can make it to the FL state line under decent conditions, but they have big arrays, high power, and live on SIgnal Mtn, etc. These stations use SSB or CW on VHF to make that haul. Long distance VHF/UHF communications is done (I have 42 states confirmed on 144 Mhz for example), just not with normal equipment and conditions.
  14. I figured both were right after the wheel, which was maybe invented to expedite the process on an older profession (or at least to haul the payment easier).
  15. So where do the insurance and car salesmen fit in ?
  16. See above reference to politician
  17. hmmm.... need clarification. Ornamental Horticulture, landscape design and zoology (Adam), ranching (Abel), and farming (Cain).....nah.. OK, which two one (I'll assume I know one of them) ? - lawyering, moonshining, gambling ? Any one of these can result in the assumed profession....
  18. yeah, I know......it is the story of ages, and a sad one at that.
  19. Actually the only way to change morals is a individual change within the heart.
  20. and the guy probably would not tell you his opinion on unwed couples, unless specifically asked to do so, just as he did with the other questions. And then, it would be an overall response, not directed at a specific pair of persons.
  21. yep. If it passes through committees, put it on the floor. The other leadership seats complicit in this need to go as well. Also, anyone in the habit of leaving after roll-call needs to go. Cast your own votes, or don't run for office. Do your job, or stay home on your own dime.
  22. good. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/aug/02/ten-incumbents-151-six-republicans-four-151-in/
  23. got that.
  24. What I am wondering is - is she a vialble alternative to Corker ?
  25. correct. Oak Ridge is closed for remodeling. Closest is probably Turkey Creek edit to add - heh, might be a good OC day. That with paying for their lunch would warp them!
