I have a long-standing policy of not dancing on the graves of the departed with whom I had very serious disagreements or distaste for. I also have a very closely related policy of not placing laurels upon the graves of those who are undeserving of them. I will simply say what I always say, my condolences for those who feel loss at his passing.

Very well put CTS ❤

This thread started out honoring a man that deserves and earned respect. I feel we need to drop the Covid-19 crap, and respect the man. RIP General Colin Powell, my god give you everything you deserve in heaven.

1935 and JMB is highly significant. Reckon it is what I think is? Something like a P-35 perhaps? I’m excited.

Agreed. Let's all quarantine the COVID posts in the COVID thread.

Multiple myeloma is a blood cancer that specifically affects the bodies B cells. Those B cells are the "memory" that remember how to produce antibodies that the body needs to fight off infections. Without effective B cell response - your body is going to have a tough time fighting off the virus. So, yes. Covid was the disease that killed him. He had a condition that made him more susceptible to all infections - many of which might have done it. SARS-CoV-2 was just the virus that jumped to the front of the line. Vaccines help the body form antibodies that remembered by the body's T cells and B cells. So, someone with a condition like Secretary Powell's would still get some benefit from the vaccine - but any infection could be deadly. We're looking forward to some of the nasal spray vaccines that will help to mitigate respiratory viruses closer to the infection point.

Comaprable offerings from Generac, Yamaha, or even WEN will get similar performance and noise w/o the Honda price tag. Whether or not they'll last as long as a Honda, I couldn't say.

I have a whole house and large gas genset if needed. I look at it like ammo, better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I also live in a location where if something major happens I will be one of the last with power restored. I prefer to be able to sleep in comfort regardless if it is 30 degrees or 100 degrees. I also consider things like being able to run machinery if needed to fix things in a worst case. I guess we each have our own tolerances. The older I get, the less tolerance I have for inconvenience within my own home and property.

Mint condition. Includes original box and 2 mags. Purchased from GR8Smiles. I’ve never fired it. Asking $625.

For sale Ruger mini-14 in stainless with wood. Comes with one 5 round mag. The 184- serial number has it shipped from Ruger in 1985. The stock looks good as can be seen in the pics and the bore and chamber are also in good shape. At this point I would prefer a face to face sale. Located in NE TN. Price $900.00

I’d love to see anew one come out!

Thanks Hipower!

It was the biggest crowd they've ever had. People waited in traffic up to five hours on Friday and were turned away. Others parked on the side of the road and walked up to two miles to get in. They delayed the start on Friday because dealers were stuck in traffic and couldn't open their booths. Some dealers didn't make it in until noon. 8600 people Friday and 14,400 on Saturday.

That was one of the reasons why I stopped hunting there. They made you go back to the check station to get another parking pass if you changed areas, when at other bases using the same software would give you a yearly pass. That and the fact that back then center fire weapons were really restricted, had to use shotgun or black powder for most of the season.

So is an oven....

You mean the 5 posts of anti-vax propaganda you rudely inserted into a thread commemorating the passing of a military leader and former Secretary of State? To parse it terms you applied to the UT fans at the Ole Miss game, "That was a trashy, despicable display". An entire thread is dedicated to COVID. You ought to confine your wild, unsubstantiated ideas on that topic, there.

I bought a Boyds unfinished and painted it. I cut in and did the cheek riser myself, but I found the stock for like $80 on clearance somewhere. if you are comfortable doing a little work, you can get a pretty decent stock in the end. I have been happy with it for what it is.

I had both the B22 and Mark II FV-SR rifles and ran into the same issue when shooting them in NRL22 competition. The solution for me was to build up a cheek riser out of closed-cell camp pad and vet tape. I covered the top with a small piece of adhesive-backed felt. Bonus for using the felt is it's more comfortable and easy to replace if it gets dirty or (in my case) covered in sweat. It took a little experimentation to get the fit exactly right, but was well worth it for the end result.

I think @E4 No More is a physician himself so I imagine he is quite used to seeking medical research for giving patients advice.

I was set up in the sheds at #7

The rental range was going hot and heavy, the main line went hot every hour or so (except when they let folks wonder all over the range). The round count was amazing. Just the minigun alone, 30 second bursts. using the math, conservative rate of 3000 rds a minute, so 1500 rounds per burst, 4 bursts per session, 10 sessions per day, 2 days = 120,000 rds from the minigun alone. Even at .50 cents per that is more than my annual salary. Full auto is certainly a rich man's game.

IF I were some eccentric that collected these kinds of things and money were no object id much rather invest in firearms from real individuals than Hollywood props. But thats me

CVA Wolf 50 cal. Two 50 grain 777 pellets, Win 209 primer, and a 295 grain Powerbelt bullet. Topped with an M8, 4x Leupold in CVA rings. Years ago, WalMart had this rifle on sale after season for a song. On a lark, I thought I’d give it a try. Since then it’s taken more deer than everything else I own…and that includes truck bumpers!

Wonder what Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry 44 mag will bring

The most obvious question is: Do you think that they knew the vaccine would be useless at the time of administration? Do you think there's a possibility that they figured the risk versus reward warranted the vaccine? Did he get the less effective vaccine which would have been weakened further by his condition? There are numerous variables to consider which is why a discussion with your doctor is recommended rather than a discussion with some unknown chump/quack on the Internet.

It will be marked down as a covid death regardless. THIS is important to remember.

I'm a long time fan of John Wayne. But I just can't see that kind of money just because he owned it. OTOH: I have been known to pay too much for something just because I wanted it.

Sorry, i am new and was able to paste a quote the last time, but now i can't figure it out, but in response to Defender, i love the small towns and absolutely dread whats happening to rural Tennessee. Can someone remind me how to put the quotes in the message? Thanks

Ugh! Don't get ME started on Let's Go Brandon. LOL!

There's no need to fear. Sleepy Joe is here. He's going to fix all that & more. Relax & enjoy.

I agree. I read his book and it was obvious he was a little bit more political while in the Army, but still, a good man.

Wyze cams. 20 bucks each

Sad. He was a good man. Didn't care for some things he had said in the last few years, but overall seemed a true partiot who worked for the betterment of his country. My condolences for his family.

Game camera?

I, for one, am not a fan at all of all this. There's nothing wrong with staying small towns and rural. our great state is being ruined, and our politicians are doing all they can to hasten making our state like the the others. Really sad.

I've got a 10kw military genset, it will run the whole 3,000 square foot house. I look at it as a luxury item though. In a actual full blown major event, I think you are better off to learn how live without electricity than you are to try to produce it. After some time you're going to run into fuel issues, and a big genset running in the night is like a big magnet to attract unwanted attention.

I really regret that I was never an attendee. Seems like a turning point with the loss of Knob Creek events. Glad you were able to experience it for yourself.

$800

I totally see how it would be your fault if I broke into your house or car took things.

The blame is 100% on the thief.

Anything can be defeated with the proper tools, skill, and time. Really doesn't matter what it is.

Johnny Rotten, I'm an old codger, but in my early years, a truck gun was actually two guns, in a gun rack in the back window. One was usually a deer rifle, in our area, probably a Marlin .30-30 lever action and the other was a shotgun. The shotgun gauges ran the gambit, depending on what the owner was into. If he was a quail hunter, it could be a 12, 16, or 20 gauge. If he was a duck hunter, more than likely it would be a 12 gauge. Back in those days ('50s) not too many guns had 3" chambers. By the way, those trucks were hardly, if ever, locked... and many had the keys in the ignition. I don't recall any guns, or trucks for that matter, being stolen. Justice was swift and harsh in those days! Our state prison was "Angola", probably second only to Alkatrez (sp?) , the rock! Angola has it's on cemetery, right there on the prison grounds...and the prisoners work. They farm hundreds of acres of crops. Hardly worth it to steal a gun, or even a beat up farm truck! Watch the movie "Cool Hand Luke" with Paul Newman and you'll get an idea of what Angola is like.

In the same vein (absolutely no clue on the whatever sight thing...) I'll take -20 in Wyoming over 45° here any day. Everyone forgets that the hummids works at both ends of the thermometer! 116 in Phoenix is an absolute pleasure, compared to 90 here!
