The hose storage isn’t as nice as that Ryobi model - but it’s a lot smaller.
The hose storage is actually more of a pain. It creates memory in the hose, so it wants to kink. I have gone back to just coiling mine in 4-5' loops.
As others have said, if I had it to do over, I would just buy an electric washer, and rent a gas one for the odd job that the electric couldn't handle.
I find myself using the electric a lot more often, just because it is much easier to setup, quieter, etc.

My gut is telling me that with the speed of the plea and resignation there was a lot more on hand or being developed from the investigation. They may well have gone to her with this deal and told her it's a one time offer to get her out of the way so Nashville can move on.
Don't read too much into it. Glen Funk saw a chance to bury her, and used everything he could to do it.

Nice. Randall Copperhead?

Springfield XD Sub-Compact 9mm. For me, it is the perfect compromise between the G26 and G19.
Honorable mention go to the Colt CCO, S&W MP Shield and 637, Glock 43, and Kahr PM9.

I have had a great experience with Wyatt Johnson (the old Crown Ford). I was looking for a specific configuration, and of the three dealers that had what I wanted, they were the only ones that would take my deal.
One benefit if you every get stick waiting around the dealership, they are a stocking dealer for both Roush and Shelby, so there is plenty to drool over to kill the time.
I will PM you my sales guys contact info if you want. He was great, and still calls or texts every few weeks.

I bought a Gen5 G19 a few weeks ago, and its frame is beveled.

For our members who will be spending Christmas in uniform and on the job -- whether police, corrections, fire, EMS, healthcare, linemen, and of course our beloved armed services -- I especially want to thank you and your families for the sacrifice that you make to keep the rest of us safe, healthy and comfortable.
Amen!

Great pickup. I have a .45 compact and a 9mmSC, and the SC is still my favorite carry gun.
As previously stated, they aren't much to look at, but they are fantastic shooters.

If you do get a cut to length rod, you might want to buy a spare and leave it full length to use at home for cleaning. Also, you'll have it in case you break or misplace the other one.
That is really good advice. You want a longer rod for cleaning vs loading.

I had a LK-93, which I believe was the American-Made replacement, IIRC. I think I bought mine in 93 or 94.
Did you get a breech plug wrench? If not, you will need one, or you can make something to remove the breech plug and nipple. The rod does look short. All three of the Knights I have owed had a threaded insert on each end of the rod.
Now the good news. Knight is located in Athens, TN, and their customer service is fantastic. Just contact them and they may be able to tell you a little more about that model and may have the parts you need. My Disc Extreme came with the wrong breech plug. I had been working with one of the techs, and mentioned that I would be in the area on business, so he suggested that I bring it by. The tech met me in the lobby with the correct breech plug, a hat, and a little goody bag.
As far as using it, my LK-93 shot best with 90gr of loose Pyrodex, and a 245gr .45 in a sabot, using a #11 cap.
I never tried the pellets in LK-93, but that is all I use in my Disc Extreme.

The Protech Brend 2 or the Runt are both pretty easy to carry in slacks or suit pants. Personally, I like the Brend.
Congrats on the new job.

Sounds like you have found the right companion.
Just stay patient with her.

It's a lot better to figure that out early. He will find the right home, and you will find the right dog.

Another vote here for the Wicked Edge system. It is extremely expensive, especially if you aren't sharpening for a living, but the results are amazing.

I've always noticed a big difference in size between Smith county deer and those in Sumner and Macon counties. Years ago there were very few deer here, and TWRA reintroduced them. I wonder if the Smith county deer came from a different place.
I used to hunt in Smith County back in the mid to late 80's, and we had a lot of deer and some decent bucks but they were always smaller bodied than the deer in counties a little farther west.

When I was in college, we hunted in southern Illinois and Ohio. Both were shotgun only, and I had a rifled barrel for my Rem 870. I had pretty good luck, but would probably opt for a modern muzzleloader over a slug gun.

I am sorry for your loss.

I’m curious why you would want an A-bolt or even an X-Bolt over the SUPER GRADE? I haven’t shot either. But most of the comparisons I read rate the Super Grade over the X-Bolt. I’m just asking; I have no idea.
I had a relative that had an A-Bolt Medallion that I hunted with as a kid, and I have been collecting the "guns of my youth" the last few years. So my reasoning was nostalgic.
5 hours ago, DaveTN said:I don’t know what was available when you got yours, but the Browning site shows 19 calibers available in both the X-Bolt and the A-Bolt and 10 in the AB3.
If you look at the website, all of the calibers that show "No MSRP" are not currently in production on the A-Bolt Medallion.

I bought a Super Grade M70 in .308 a couple of years ago, and it has been a great rifle.
I really wanted an A-Bolt Medallion, but they only make them in 3 calibers now.

"Focus the protection of the Second Amendment on keeping nonmilitary arms at home for self-defense, while putting an escalating standard of protection on other kinds of arms and uses ... If individuals want to own semi-automatic assault weapons, either as collectors or for practice shooting, then enforce a provision that such weapons can only be kept at legally registered shooting ranges or other registered depositories, and cannot be removed from the designated premises. Similarly, if individuals want to use unusual high-powered weapons for hunting, and if such weapons are deemed to be acceptable for hunting purposes, then require that the hunters collect their weapons from a registered hunting depot and redeposit them after hunting, with the guns and ammunition properly accounted for."
This is a modern version of the logic the British used when they marched on Lexington and Concord

I highly recommend Ms Patti's, as others have mentioned - https://www.pattis1880s.com/
LBL is a great place for a quiet few days.

My wife loves her ThermaCell, but I have just never had that much trouble with skeeters. Ticks and chiggers are a whole other story!
Where to Get Coins Appraised

Talk to a local jeweler and see if they have any recommendations.
We had a similar situation with a relative's estate, and through recommendations from a couple of local shops, found a guy that could give us a rough grade and value. I think we paid him a couple hundred bucks to go through a couple thousand coins.
It was a little eye opening about what was valuable and what wasn't. Most of ours were basically mineral weight, but there were a few rare coins that had a considerable collector value.
