A funny video my dad and I did this weekend.....If you think its funny feel free to share it   http://youtu.be/0-jflQThRBQ

Luigi's honeymoon                         After returning from his honeymoon in Florida with his new bride,             Virginia, Luigi stopped by his old barbershop in Jersey to say hello             to his friends.             Giovanni said, "Hey Luigi, how wassa da treep?"             Luigi said, "Everyting wasa perfecto except for da train ride down."             "Whata you mean, Luigi?" asked Giovanni.             "Well, we boarda da train at Grana Central Station.             My beautiful Virginia , she pack a biga basketa food. She bringa             davino, some nice cigars for me, and we were lookina forward to da             trip, and open upa da luncha basket .             The conductore come aby, wagga his finger at us anda say, 'no eat in             disa car. Musta use a dining car..'             So, me and my beautiful Virginia, we go to da dining car, eat a biga             lunch and starta at open da bottle of a nice a vino!             Conductor ewalka by again, waga his finger and say, 'No drinka in disa             car! Musta use a cluba car.' So, we go to cluba car.             While a drinkina davino, I starta to lighta my biga cigar.             The conductore, he waga is finger again and say, 'No a smokina in             disa car. Musta go to a smokina car ..'             "We go to a smokina car and I smoke a my biga cigar.             Then my beautiful Virginia and I, we go to a sleeper car anda go to bed.             We just about to go bada boom bada boom and the conductore, he walka             through da hallway shouting at a top of his a voice..             'Nofolka Virginia !             Nofolka Virginia !'             "Nexta time, I'ma just gonna taka da bus."  

 Three men - a Canadian farmer, a Muslim fanatic and a White Trash Biker are all walking together one day.  They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.     'I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes in total', says the Genie.     The Canadian says, 'I am a farmer and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada '     POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.     The Muslim was amazed, so he said, 'I want a wall around Afghanistan , Palestine , Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or Canadians can come into our precious land.'     POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.     The Biker says, 'I am very curious.  Please tell me more about this wall.'     The Genie explains, 'Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the countries. Nothing can get in or out;     it's virtually impenetrable.'     The Biker sits down on his Harley, cracks a beer, lights a cigar, smiles and says, 'Fill it with water.'

Clearly we all should have done something about that pesky ammo tax before he showed up.  Who the heck forgot to do that?!?   Trust me, folks, we're going to have a stern discussion about this at this week's meeting.  And whoever keeps leaving the toilet seat up, Marge in Accounting is plenty ticked about that too.

I laughed.     Racism can kiss my a$$.  If it's funny, you laugh.  That's life.  

Dollar Store has toasters on sale right now for 10 bucks.................... :up: :up:

    One of the funniest ironies ever; When Toyota got into NASCAR a few years back.  Every podunk moron I heard was complaining about those GD and MF'ing foreign cars out there with good ole american cars.  Best look ever was their expression when you tell them all the mexican made parts Ford uses, all the Canadian work done with GM.......Camrys???????        Made in Kentucky.    

There were parts of it that made me smile.   Remember when TV was funny without all the potty and sex humor?

Adapt and overcome.   I am left handed, right eye dominant. I learned to shoot right handed. I can shoot a pistol equally well with either hand, but I have always shot a rifle right handed.   My daughter and my wife are unfortunately the exact opposite. They are both right handed and left eye dominant. My daughter started shooting at four or five, and I have taught her since the beginning to shoot left handed rifle and which ever hand she prefers for pistols.    There are a few reasons for this. But the main one is simplicity. Even if some fancy $100 sight mount existed that allowed her to shoulder the rifle right handed and shoot left handed, it would be awkward, and would be required to be moved, or multiple purchased for every gun she shoots. Which would have to be re-zeroed, which would cost more ammo. She would be unable to have any commonality with any other rifle in the home, or at the range unless it was equipped with the fancy device. If the fancy device broke, or was lost, or somehow otherwise became disabled, she would be unable to operate a rifle as she had become dependent on  the device and not her skill and ability to overcome adversity.   In short, make him shoot left handed, and make him get used to it. Sure, that is easy for me to say after 30+ years of shooting right handed, it is natural to me now.    Your other option would be to train his weak eye and force him to use it, but I don't think that would be as viable, or as long term successful as just biting the bullet and learning to shoot left handed. While it is uncomfortable, it is the better solution.   Be positive with it, don't make him feel like a freak, it is a common obstacle, and with proper training it can easily be overcome. If you make it a hassle, or a fuss it could turn him off of shooting and make him feel self conscious. You don't want that, you want what is best for him.    I am not a professional trainer, so take my advice with that disclaimer, but I am a man who learned to shoot cross eye dominant and is successfully teaching a cross eye dominant child.

We can scream and yell until we're blue in the face, but until we get these bums that make the laws out of office, this will become the norm.

LOL   I supervise 12 officers: 2 white females 2 asian males 1 black male 7 white males   HR would go into cardiac arrest if they attended one of our rollcalls. You were in the military...you know what I'm talking about (anyone see the HBO series "Generation Kill"?).  Good natured, equal opportunity cracking, with a bunch of adults not looking to be "offended." I can't think of one that wouldn't run to a gunfight to save the other.

Yea I thought about that. Then I realized, I could go drop the extra $200 on ammo or add some cash and buy a 1911. After these thought, I felt very American again haha.

Well I started to set some of the rivets tonight. All that's left now is to press the barrel on and install the front sight and gas block. [URL=http://s1246.photobucket.com/user/gjohnsoniv/media/0301152344_zpsjvfswlov.jpg.html][/URL]

If you'd like a lower signature, but completely capable "tactical" pen, try the $5 steel Zebra F701. It's as capable as any of the mostly gimmicky offerings by S&W and the like. It writes a lot better. And, you probably won't cry if you lose it.

Clearly you guys don't have kids that like transformers. We just had an Optimus Prime birthday party a couple days ago.

As few as possible .....

Had to read it twice, read deceptions first time around so it didn't make sense that he shot the toaster. I see my mistake.

Bump ... gotta keep this fun thread alive! "Spirit of Tennessee" Snaps

Do him a favor and teach him to shoot long guns left handed.  If he ever takes up the shotgun/wing shooting he will thank you.  His rifle shooting with aperture sights will also benefit from using his dominate eye and shooting with both eyes open.

I've got a buddy who is a machinist and I would just pass off at the point where you had it in the first picture, lol.

    You can rent a tiller for generally less than $100 for a weekend.  That's a 6 year payback and you don't have to store it, maintain it, and climb over/around it the 10 months/yr you don't use it.  If you've got a barn and a huge garden, that's one thing.  I have a garage that's already jammed with stuff.        I used the stuff that kills everything.   Round-up, Spectracide, etc...  Some may claim that it leaches into the soil and may harm what you plant later.  I didn't have that problem.  The newer chemicals aren't supposed to leach beyond the spray area.   I try to use minimal chemicals, but after the total PITA that big flowerbed was, I didn't care and wanted it all dead.  :death:   You're probably going to miss the early plantings (broccoli, greens, carrots, etc.).  Its just gonna be too wet to get the new space ready until it warms up and dries out a little.  I think it was nearly June before I got stuff planted.  I have another small space that I put the early stuff in and saved the hot weather crops for the new space. 

    I'd thought about bumping this the other day....     I created a new (but small) garden patch last year... here's what I did:   1. Do the "call before you dig" routine.  Even if you know there's nothing there, it's CYA.    2. Mark it out and spray the whole area with your preferred brush killer.  Spray it again 2 weeks later.  Then spray it again after another 2 weeks.   3. Scalp it with the mower, as low as you dare.   4. Procure your favorite soil amendment.  I used home produced compost plus a couple bags of it from the store.  The soil test is a good idea... https://ag.tennessee.edu/spp/Pages/soiltesting.aspx   5. Rent a decent rear tine tiller and go at it.  This works best when it's dry, else it becomes a sticky muddy mess.  Expect to make 2-3 passes to get it as deep as it'll go.  Spread the soil amendment as necessary and till it in.  Unless you're really lucky and have wonderful soil or are the size of an NFL lineman, wrestling the tiller will be exhausting.  If you're doing a big space, finding someone with a tractor tiller/rotavator might be worth the money.   I don't recommend buying a tiller unless you just want one.  Good ones are expensive.   6.  Plant.   Our garden produced reasonably well last year.  The spot was in the middle of the yard and weeds/grass were manageable.  Several years ago I built a big flowerbed and rented a sod cutter to remove the grass.  Not worth it (for me, the folks I gave the sod to were happy).   Grass came up everywhere.  Took 3-4 years of spraying and pulling to finally kill off most of it.    Keeping the deer out....?  Good luck.  My parents live in the woods and Dad had to build a 6 ft chicken wire fence all the way around his garden.  Mom's since found some deer spray that seems to help.  It's expensive and smells awful until it dries. 

I grew up thinking the only truck was Chevy. I still think the best looking trucks ever made are the older Chevys, BUT there are two Tacomas, a 4runner and a Straigt axle Toyota pickup in my driveway now. I got tired of working instead of driving them. Rarely had to work on a vehicle in the last ten years.

To me the issue isn't M855 staying available. Heck I've used it in Baghdad, not very effective as ammo goes. Better than none I guess. I don't mind having it as cheap plinking ammo (I have 14 mags loaded up at the moment). Here is the issue. The BATFE is writing something into LAW without basing it on facts or preexisting statutes. Worse yet they are bypassing the only people authorized by the constitution to write laws, the legislative branch. Is that the definition of an enemy to the Constitution?

Couldn't have been any funnier and thumbed noses at stereotype nonsense. Well done.

Yeah trap and skeet can be a little weird.

Cool shot Loon!

Thank you sir.

You have are now the proud owner of 4 Korea(s) :)

Dropped back by my local Wally World today. ZQI M855 is still there. Some other of the .223 lead core stuff was gone. Plenty of other common caliber ammo. No .22LR still....... Talked with another fellow in front of the ammo case. He thought that the M855 was banned. Didn`t know that it had not been yet. We talked for awhile and then I headed on out. Still think I should have bought a box of 30-30. Didn`t. LOL!

I've been wondering for 2 weeks now, why nobody in Rick's group hasn't brought up the odd construction of the walls around the community.   Why are the braces on the outside of the walls?   Are they built to keep something in or out?    If someone already mentioned this, sorry...I just haven't seen this brought up before.

Eh, the damn steering wheel's on the wrong side ...

  Ok you've gotta review that once it arrives.  I'm curious!

Big socks? :ugh:

Nice pics folks! Here's a couple of my favorites...

Just speculation but I wonder if this has to do with the weapon light issues that were reported by some Police Departments with Gen 3 .40 models.  The issue was that some Gen 3 22 (and maybe 23?) models issued would fail to feed with weapon lights mounted.  I seem to recall this was fixed with stronger mag springs.  This could be the reason for the updated magazine markings.  The only FTF issues I've had with my RTF 22 were with a TLR and one really old magazine I ended up with.  I threw away that magazine that solved the problem.  I guess it was made during the AWB as it was a 15 rounder that said "Law Enforcement Only."  I probably picked it up out of a bargain bin somewhere.   

That's what my Mamaw would call a "more dollars than sense " gun lol I could see one of those in the next Expendables movie lol Stalone one handing it with a 50cal on the other arm.

We are our own worst enemies in so many ways.

Are these "tactical" enough? Top one is a "Civil War Pen", both ends are modeled after bullet. The bottom 3 are .30 Caliber Bolt Action.

Got about 7" in north Bradley county. We built giant snow zombies :) that's an 8-footer on the right Freaked out the hound dog, lol

Absolutely beautiful older chevy! Looks like about a 98 model? Wish I could find my grand dads old Plymouth. I like the stock look with the letters in like it has. Great truck!

How in the heck do you keep up with a pen for four years? I'd have to tie a string to it or it would be lost in 4 minutes.
