I bought this when I got home, had several upgrades done to it and today i got to pick it up a week early!! i the bike sounds unbelievable I absolutely love it

  Once again, not elegant.  Not as elegant as handloading and hunting them with a $500 handgun.  Much more 'sporting' our way.   Though I have knocked them out of the air with my hat and stomped them, when not properly armed.   Some of my son's in-laws in Ontario think that shooting bees is unbelievably redneck and typically American.  I agree and don't want to disappoint them.

Took a pontoon boat ride down the Colorado River in Glen Canyon near Page, Arizona in 2010. They told us the canyon walls were 1100 ft. high. This wasn't far from the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

Well I rode about 300 miles yesterday and all I can say is I absolutely love my Bike!!!

My son and daughter-in-law were living (and renting) in one of my rentals when they got married. They wanted a starter home and asked if I would sell them the rental. I agreed to sell it, and gave them a really good price, but still within the low end range of what houses are selling for in that neighborhood. I still had a hefty mortgage on it, so I had to be able to pay it off. My daughter-in-law had a savings account that her family had been setting aside for her to use for a house, and it had a considerable balance. So, their mortgage on the house is a few hundred bucks a month.   Our other son bought a house that was at the top end of his affordability level at the time, and had nothing to speak of  to put down on it. for a while they struggled to make payments each month. His perception is that I basically "gave" my other son a house. It has caused all kinds of turmoil and heartbreak within the family.   My recommendation is don't give the house to him. It will only make your daughters feel cheated.   Consider selling it and buying a cabin in the woods that you all can use as a getaway. Or sell it and split the cash among all the kids, or put into a trust to purchase a home for each of them. 

i use closed captions on just about everything I watch on TV.  It is really helpful.  You get way less of those "what did they say" moments.

I had to do chores at David's house for a weekend.

I believe he said something like "he's still alive and I'm gonna make sure he stays that way".

Dunno but I might have a  record!  Joined in 2007, benefactor ... and still haven't made "Member".  :dunno:

Stones River is probably the best sight in range in town because if the movable target frames and great shooting benches. 

I would sell the house and keep/invest the money for my own retirement.  If the kids are hard working, responsible and living on their own already, prepare for your future.  They can divide up their inheritance when your gone.  Then if down the road one of them does need some financial assistance(i know **** happens) you can provide as needed. :2cents:

The idea of oversizing is to make a seal. Without a near perfect seal, you get gas cutting. Gas cutting equals leading and pisspoor accuracy. Oversizing also prevents skidding. Basically, think of stripped threads. This is the major function of a gas check by the way. To give the rifling something tougher to bite into that won't skip over the rifling at higher pressures. Fit is king. Cast bullets will never work without proper fit.

You mean you actually put down your beers? I made that mistake one summer day while working in the yard with my dad. A bee landed in it while I wasn't watching, and when I took another drink I got stung on the tongue. Dad's fatherly advice was "Finish it before you put it down and that won't happen again."

Pretty sure the only way to go from TGO Newcomer to Member is to send $5 to each current benefactor via paypal.   It should only cost about $1,000 or so.         disregard that, my dumbass didn't see that you were already a benefactor.

But, just wanted to add another post to the cyber world proclaiming their Customer Service awesomeness, My LCR had a cylinder issue and they had it picked up by UPS the next day. This was less than a week ago, and it's due to hit my house tomorrow. A company that takes pride in its product is a company that will continue to get my business.

Disregard.  I have one on the way.  $470'ish with the various pieces I needed was a hard pill to swallow but in the long run it's often cheaper to buy the right tool than try to make something else do the job.

Anytime your down again holler. My shop is on the main highway in Tullahoma. Have a range at shop as well!

lets try this again...   Stages:http://www.mctsclub.com/~mctscl5/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/MCTS-Indoors-31815.pdf

Got home from the range and was cleaning it when I noticed the cylinder was spinning freely and would not lock. Very unusual. I could not locate the issue. There was no hidden lint or any obstructions that I could find.

Probably not. Sister in law is visiting. So can't really get away. Shooting idpa wens so already hearing the brunt of it.

I hope they got enough stuff to put supports on the inside of the walls. 

The primary owner of the new Loveless is Tom Morales, who among other things owns a local catering business.  He also owns Saffire and The Southern Steak & Oyster mentioned above.   I'm pulling for them, if for no other reason than we need more non-chain restaurants.  The Loveless has changed hands several times over the years.  I'm sure there was all kinds of heartache when they started their mail order Hams & Jams business back in the '80s as well.  I guess it's normal to look back on the old days with a sort of nostalgia, but the Loveless has changed just like Nashville has over the years.   Their preserves are great.  My kids can eat their weight in biscuits with preserves and molasses there.  Their redeye gravy is the closest reminder of my grandfather's that I've had.  While I may miss the old days, you'll certainly have a more hygienic experience these days.

I never charge a case with powder until the previous case has a bullet seated. That keeps distractions or memory issues from causing problems. I can walk away for days and I will never have to wonder where I am in the process and it is no slower. Step 1. Grab an empty, primed, case and drop the powder then seat the bullet. Step 2. See step 1

  meh. The Loveless is more famous for being famous than it is for great food these days. Plus they're posted. I live under 10 minutes from there and can count the number of times I've been in the past two years by making a fist. The "new" ownership hasn't been good for them, IMO. If you're going to take a drive/ride on the Natchez Trace, it's worth stopping for, but I don't think it's worth going all the way out there just for the food.   I hear great things about breakfast at The Southern downtown and Marche in East Nashville.

Congrats.  That is a great looking bike.

8 weeks is long enough,  I did it last year. When I ran it I was up to running 7 miles about 3-4 times a week. I did not break any records but had no problem finishing it. We had a team of about 12 people, it makes it easier. There was a group that busted it and finished in great time but most of us took out time and enjoyed it. Drink plenty of water leading up to the event, I drank a gallon of water that morning. I was good untill the artic enema, after that my hips started to lock up. Thankfully it was about mile 9 so I did not have much left to run. I think we are going to do it again this year and I am in no shape to run it so I need to start training agian. Good luck

If you have dovetailed Novak style front and rear sights then research the available front sight blade heights. Once you determine the correct height purchase it, then place a witness mark on the front slide for easy sight replacement. The same process works for fiber optic sights on the slide as once set for normal pistol ranges windage is fairly consistent.

An inheritance isn't an inheritance if you and your wife are alive. It's yours, so sell it if you want to, and if your son wants to buy it then sell it to him at fair market value.

I just wanted to make a quick post to let anyone in the market for a trust know that they can't go wrong by paying John Wells a visit. I was in and out in less than 45 min and that's with me asking questions. John went through the trust with me and provided me with any and everything potentially needed. I spent some time tonight reading over everything again just to further familiarize myself with it and I am left feeling like I received a very well written and thought out document. I think one of the most valuable parts (2nd only to the trust itself) is that John makes sure that you understand that you're welcome to call anytime with any questions, you won't get that with a cookie cutter Internet PDF trust. Thanks again John and it was nice to meet and. Chat with you.

Recall back to the beginning of the show. Carol was a meek housewife to an abusive husband. I think he got a beat down once for manhandling her, didn't he? I guess that's why Carol is so intense about this guy being abusive to his wife and kid. For some reason I feel a twist coming on. The kid never said his dad was the abusive one. My gut says we will find out that the truth is the wife is the abusive one, and Rick will have to put HER down. That may be why the husband so desperately wants to be friends with Rick. Plus the kid cozying up to Carol makes me think he is looking for a mother figure.   I also find it very disturbing that the culture of Alexandria is to run away and to leave their friends behind when faced with danger. Didn't the one construction worker say something like, "It's what we do".   Hate on me if you want, but I'm not sad to see Noah go. I never liked his character all that much. I thought he was weak. His carelessness in his old home neighborhood is one of the reasons Tyrese got bit.   The priest has completely lost it. A lot of the "horrible things" Rick's group has done, was to save his own skin. And he failed to mention how he locked his own parishioners out of the church when they were seeking shelter. At least Rick's group never killed innocents.

Try it on a good pistol rest at 25yrds and with a couple other guys shooting the gun.  Then you might get a better assessment on the bullet lashup with the mechanical accuracy in human hands.

I became a dissident at some point.

  Thank you sir.  I've got to confess, though, it's hard not to take a good picture out there.  You can just hang your camera out the window and press the button and likely come back with something breathtaking.  :)

There were so many here last year I had to up my game. A full auto airsoft does the trick.

Looks good but free don't make it right. I get very particular about my guns and even things that I, or anyone else, can't see bother me if I know it is there. And if I hire someone to do something it better be exactly what was promised. A misplaced port would infuriate me and would garner a new barrel at a minimum. I have seen a lot of screw ups by shops and the vast majority do exactly what they did here, not charge. But what exactly are they giving you for nothing. A screwed up gun that was t screwed up when they started. Nothing against you but I would never accept something that someone else screwed up.

  For me personally,  sure, it would be great to see any repeal of any federal firearm law, but it's hard to get "excited" about making this niche genre more widely available under NFA registration.  Now, actually removing something from NFA entirely, like SBR/SBS/suppressors (or the full auto)  that would "excite" me.   Just speaking for myself, since I wouldn't avail myself of it, but seems vast majority of firearm owners probably feel that way.   Again, not knocking it at all, and I would be quite glad for folks who want to get a more affordable auto weapon, and also for the fact that since the Hughes amendment was not enacted lawfully in the first place this would at least be overturning a small piece of tyranny that masqueraded as legislation.   - OS

I'm not saying there aren't good firearms instructors out there...  and that getting firearms training isn't a good idea.   Only that the current system is corporate welfare for ranges and instructors, and does little or nothing to make TN safer.  I'm all for keeping the current system in place for those who want a permit to carry out of state.... but we should completely do away with the requirement to get a permit to carry if you can legal own the firearm.  

I aint telling, bad guy will just have to guess.

DANG that was an epic episode. the suspense and fear factor came back with a vengeance

Seriously? $7/50 9mm is that brass? That is $140/1000 It is costing me around $150 to reload 1000 9mm picking up my own brass. I think I am wasting my time now.

This is my first post, so HI everyone. I am 19 years old, I was told that i could legally purchase a handgun from another person. is that true? Also, I read (39-17-1319) the minimum age for possessing and transporting a handgun is 18 Y/O. With that being said am i allowed to carry a handgun in my vehicle, as long as i do not have the clip in the gun?  

Answer: Mr. Vel Cro :)

The only logical reply to that would be Who ties your shoelaces for you?

    I love the blacked out look, I even had all the lighting changed out to smoked out but they have extremely bright LED lights so they are very functional and the stage 1 mapping and with the screaming Eagle air filter, this bike is so loud that it can wake the dead, believe you me you will hear this thing if you are anywhere around it

Very nice.  All these bike pics have me itching to get out riding.  Been out of the country for a bit and can't wait to get back Saturday and get mine cleaned up.  We did a TGO ride last year in Middle TN.  We will do another one ( I may go ahead and put out a feeler for dates).  If you ever want someone to ride with, let me know, it always nice to have someone to do a bit of running around with on the bikes.

The Jim Beam Double Aged is good stuff.   Does yours say Double aged or 8 year?  The label has been changed for a while,  19.99 on our shelf.   I found out the boss actually has some 23 year old Pappy stashed in his office.  No begging please, I am not allowed to show a bottle much less sell one. LOL  Dunno how much is left   He pulled one out for me to sell to one of his friends.  NO discount either he told me, LOL.  $375 + tax at the register.  Comes in a black velvet bag.
