You say dog; I say give it to me. LOL You say baby; I say no thanks (unless that's a baby puppy). Dogs have a very soft spot in my heart and it's due to Bailey. The first dog I ever adopted. Ever since then I've sworn to never buy when I can adopt. I also refuse to let a girl like this go. I've got our basement set with a 10' x 10' area that has a bed and food bowls. She'll have full run of the yard and we'll foster her until we find her a home through the local rescue. In the mean time I am going to focus on getting her weight up.

Yes you can, BFH between the eyes.

I hear ya brother. I know people aren't born that way, so I figure someone made them like that. No sense in me pouring fuel on the fire? I thanked him for changing his mind, told him we'd make sure she had a good home, and wished him well. I kinda figured by the fact he showed up at our front-door at 8:30 this morning, and was glad she found a place to stay, that he was glad they never went for a walk in the woods. Said he was mostly sore she took off and wouldn't come back. Said he kicked her once when she was a pup and didn't listen, and it's been an uphill battle training her since (go figure!)   To quote Ron White, YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!   - K

I finally got to take the new AK out today. Shot around 500 rounds through it, mostly Tulammo with a little Wolf and Monarch mixed in. Ran 3 Magpul mags and one Tapco. Ran smooth with no glitches and feels great. We were having fun with a 10/22 but after shooting the AK that's all we wanted to do. Shooting a man sized target at around 100 yards with iron sights and it was hard to miss. I really like the Zhukov stock and the fore grip setup I've got on it. Still haven't got a red dot though. I may try to pick one up tomorrow and head back Thursday. My first time at Windrock Shooting range. It will definitely be my new go to. Very friendly and they even broke out a full auto AR while I was there :)

Yes. Borboun must be made inside the United states, used a mash of at least 51% corn, aged in new oak barrels, distilled at no higher than 160 proof, barreled at no higher than 125 proof, and bottled at 80 proof or higher. 95% of borboun is made in Kentucky. Technically Jack Daniels qualifies as a borboun, but advertises as Tennessee whiskey because it is filtered through 10-22 feet of sugar maple charcoal. This is known as the Lincoln County process and is what creates Tennessee Whiskey Sent from behind the anvil

This guy was a rescue 7 years ago. Total cost for me to adopt was $28.00. I just couldn't live with that and gave the shelter $300. He came from a rescue center in upstate NY that picked up dogs from kill shelters in Georgia. He isn't a great guard dog, but is the best friend I could have. He's so gentle that once he caught a whitetail fawn (think bambi spots and all) when the fawn cried he put it down and licked it to calm it. Mama deer wasn't too happy with him but everyone was safe and moved on after a moment. All I think of is all the great times we have had together might never have been if it weren't for great kind people like Reefermac, and Mrsmonkeyman. By the way Mrs Reefer and Monkey man are lucky people too! Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk

If I ever need to show someone how good a place TGO is, I'll just send them the link to this thread. 

Windows LCD It’s already out there; it’s a Mac.

  Welcome to the other part of Tennessee, the part that is filled with ugly, disgusting people.       I would have a very, very hard time not doing "something" on behalf of the puppies. My father would shoot puppies right after they were born when I was a child. .22's were cheaper than getting the dog fixed so anytime one of our dogs had puppies he thought he could not sell he would dig a hole, drop them in and shoot them. He would tell me, at age 8 or 9, to do shoot them but when I would refuse I would get punished. One of the other ways I would get punished is he would kill, or make disappear, any dog I became attached to. So I have ZERO sympathy for anyone who would hurt any animal for no reason. People, in general, are sick and it is getting worse every day. My mind cannot comprehend what the average person is capable of any more. Every day I read about infants being abused or killed. Or that someone killed someone else for, literally, nothing. Or the amount of grief people cause to their fellow man just to get a laugh.   My wife rescued a kitten this year out of an engine bay. The owner of the truck said it had been in there for two days screaming but never bothered to even try to save it. My wife saved it in less than a minute and most of that was getting the owner's fat, lazy ass to open the hood. I guess he was waiting for it to become weak enough to fall out and die. And this is the husband of our postmaster who knew about it but also did nothing to rescue the kitten.       I would have a very, very hard time even acknowledging a person like this, well other than calling them a few choice names they had probably heard their entire life.  

Maybe nowadays, but not when my dad was a coonhunter. He bred Black and Tans for over 50 years, hunted from Iowa to Louisiana to Maine. High placers and winners in the world, little world, autumn oaks, St. Jude's and the 1972 TN champ. Nothing like a sooner or 'tick bawl, for sure. The cooners I met as a kid traveling with him back in the day were sometimes a little rough around the edges, but not asspimples like the one that this dog is thankfully shed of. Good on Mrs.Monkey! That's a kind lady, right there.

First and foremost, Merry Christmas! After months of passively searching, I purchased a factory FDE SilencerCo Osprey 45 suppressor for my FN FNX 45 Tactical in FDE. I purchased the suppressor via GunBroker from BMC Tactical/Warrior Steel. After remitting my payment 45 days ago, my suppressor arrived at my preferred LGS, the Nashville Armory. The wait time officially begins as my paperwork has been submitted!

My daughter asked me yesterday if we could go shooting, this only took 21yrs to happen :).   Her only experience with a gun prior to today only involved a squirt/nerf/bb gun. :rolleyes:   So I pulled out 3 pistols, ammo and range bag and went out into the backyard, started off with a bodyguard 380, shot several mags with/out the laser, then broke out the 9mm's, first was a Beretta 92F, then a PX4 storm compact, shot a couple 100rds, her favorite was the 92F, as we were finishing I told her to sit still because I needed to go back to the house to get something, as I return she was puzzled by me holding a rifle and a mag, I was in hurry up training mode as it was getting dark, I told her to shoot 10rds one at a time (not in the video), then had her rotated the selector, the giggling made me remember my first time shooting FA.....best hour I've spent in a longtime...   https://youtu.be/ZWPSUnW9d2U  

Shouldn't be more than A 30 minute flick. Our guys got murdered and screwed over after fighting like they'd been trained to do. Hitlery lied about it. And that's it. No star needed just credits for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Good point. The label says its a sour mash whiskey bourbon. If that's how they want to self identify... who am I to argue? Whatever you call it, it's tasty. Why yes, now that you mention it, I will have another.

I'm in Brentwood and my practice isn't posted :)

And when do you get your teeth done?

Reefers done the hard stuff so far, I got a crate all loaded in the back of my Sequioa already for her. I can't wait to meet the fuzz ball!

All taxation is theft. The only difference is how much is stolen.

 I can't praise Simpi safe enough. Quick, easy DIY setup with wireless monitoring. ($14.99/month)   BTW, congratulations on escaping Shelby County.

Reefer and MsMonkeyMan, thanks for doing the right thing. A dog is a fantastic companion and I hope you find her a good “forever” home. Kudos to both of you!

If you really want to try a "low impact" test of your prep...trip the main breaker to your house, secure the water supply, unplug the phone line and put your car keys away...do this from Friday just before supper until the following Monday at day break. Do this once when it is really cold and once when it is really hot. Monitor how many batteries you use as well as how much water is consumed. As you (and your family) go through each day make a list of things you needed, things you know that you have but can find, things that you wished that you had...we went through this exercise and the results were very interesting. We cheated and left the refrigerator running so no food would spoil...but the rule was, no food or drink from the refrig after the first 24 hours. "Boring" might be the operative word for this test, so much so that I made 5 bird houses by hand the first time we tried this activity. The second time, I had stocked up on lamp oil and several good books to read. The wife said that I should have gone out back and shot several squirrels for supper...just to add realism to the test. I don't care for squirrel. By the way, we (the entire family) were a whole lot better equipped to handle the test the second time. Even a simple test of your prep will go a lot further than talking about it or making a list. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

I don't care what your status is in the public eye. No one has the right to do what he is accused of. If he is guilty he deserves everything any other person would receive. If Cosby was seeking female companionship out side of his marriage, with his money I am quite sure he could have found it without raping non consenting females................jmho

... And there'd better be a slot machine.

Here's my perfect day:   All government is dissolved.   As a result, people are allowed to live their lives how they see fit, not how their chosen master tells them to. Everyone is able to keep the fruits of their labor instead of giving large portions of it to someone else's sacred cow.   Then end.

  I tend to agree. They're more civilized than humans, most of the time. My pleasure. See you Thurs.!   - K  

  I just prefer animals over humans mostly.  :up: But I'm just grateful everything is going to work out for her. I am really thankful that ReeferMac decided to share with us, so that I could help.    I even received messages from members offering help with her vetting and stuff. This is a great community that comes together when the need is there. This is a perfect example. :usa:  :up:  :wave:

  I just got word that a Foster Home has been lined up and one of the local rescues has been made aware of her. I won't have word until the morning but it looks like everything is 100% taken care of aside from me picking her up on Thursday and bringing her back. I'm really excited to meet Lil Miss Daisy! I will get her all scrubbed up and then let the Foster Home take her from there. Good times and a great family are ahead for this little girl!

Yeah, I don't know which is flashier...the pistol combo or your boots! lol   Just kidding. I know. It's the boots!

Well, it's NOT "hideous." Looks like it has a takedown lever ala SIG instead of the pushout pin of the current SR series; I kinda like that idea. Of course, the ad copy is stellar, lol. We'll see. I'd like to try one sometime.

Thank you both for doing this. It makes me sick to my stomach how some people treat animals. I'm going to go play w/ my pups now and try not to think about all the evil $#%*s in the world. I'm so glad this beautiful dog is being cared for. Bless you both for the good you do.

I read the book and it's the story from the surviving contractors point of view. Hopefully the movie will stick closely to the book.

I've only held one. Never got to shoot it though. Trigger was like nice. Ever noticed how inconsistent the trigger on S&W's autos are now? Well, it felt like one of the better ones.

I'm hoping for a HK VP45 Or for S&W to announce they will no longer be making revolvers with internal locks.

Gen 3 = 2 mags Gen 4 = 3 mags except G42 and G43 which only come with 2.   IIRC, Glock Blue Label Gen 3 came with 3 mags. I don't know if Blue Label Gen 4 come with a 4th one or not.

depends on what's in writing.

I don't do the IDPA shoots on Wednesday, we go to church, so I don't know what the different guys are running there.   And I'm not talking about the SR1911's. I think we can all agree that those are really good ones.   I have sold many SR9's and 45's to a lot of folks coming in looking for either Glocks or M&P's. Yes, price point helps. I had a guy in last week, wearing a Glock hat, shirt, and the "I'm ALL about Glock" attitude. He wanted a 43 BAD. I showed it to him, and he did all the inspection and said he'd take it. I said, "Before we do that, let me just show you one more thing." I handed him an LC9s. I explained it held one more round than the 43, and I wanted him to just try the trigger. He did the fondling, pulled the trigger, looked at me wide eyed, looked at the price tag, and said, "Uh... uh... I'll take that instead!"   There's nothing wrong with M&P's or Glocks or XD's OR Rugers. All are fine guns. I've never understood the outright hatred some folks exhibit for anything that isn't THEIR favorite brand. Some people are just "label ho's," as my wife says, lol, and they never look past the brand. Sometimes something outside of your favorite brand just might be a better fit for you; you just may never know it until someone takes the time to show you.   One of MY favorite 9's? Lol... my Canik TP9sa. Absolutely LOVE the way it fits ME.

She's going to be ok. I already have things lined up! The network moves fast when you know the right people. I will update everyone with status and pictures as we go. I've already got a crate donated for transporting her to my house. We've got a room I am going to get ready for her and her spay is the next step.

Really, really nice pistol! Throw away all other plastic crap that came with it. Rule #1 1911's do not go into plastic

I've already contacted 2 rescues, I have a lot of friends in the dog training/rescue world. Please, please do not post her on Craigslist. I'll come get her if I have to. I am confident I can find her a home if I have a few days to do it. A safe, loving home.

I think the take away here is, if you look at the industries where the government is most heavily involved - cars, education, healthcare, housing - you see prices rising much faster than inflation. Where government regulation is relatively light, the opposite is true.

Anyone catch the last Fargo series? 

    Season 5 was confirmed yesterday.

We've seen lots of them in the fields adjacent to 441 near the Oconaluftee visitor's center.   I don't know that the elk are there regularly, but that's where we've seen them. 

I like my LCR and SR1911s , but this does nothing for me. I think I'll pass on this. :2cents:

Looks like they had a pile of miscelanoius Glock, M&P, H&K, Sig and some parts nobody wanted and they made a pistol with them. I own several Ruger firearms but no centerfire semi-auto pistols and looks like this will not change anytime soon.

  I cannot agree with this ENOUGH. Fringe was AMAZING. John Noble is also good in Sleepy Hollow and Elementary.   We tried Breaking Bad but after 4 episodes, we both agreed it just wasn't working for us. The same thing happened with OITNB. The Walking Dead is for sure up there for me, although I haven't started season 6 yet. We use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and the CBS ap because we need NCIS and The Good Wife. Limitless has really grown on me too, smart funny and well written.    Oh, and you can get The Blacklist through the NBC ap if you have a friend with a cable account who will make you an email address to verify you're a cable member. But I wouldn't do that.......  :squint: One thing I would suggest for Netflix is to get into the BBC version of Sherlock. Longer Episodes and less of them but they are EXCELLENT.

Guess I'm the opposite. I think I'd grab a nice sig before a Glock if cost were no object. But I can see an obvious advantage in weight.

SHTF event.
