10-Ring

Just got off the phone with TWRA, they will not credit earlier bought licenses.  It's difficult sometimes to get the money for a sportsman's license when I start fishing in the spring as that has always been a lean time of year for me financially.  Things changed this year and I will now just be buying all of my licenses at once.  Now I must go bite the bullet and get types 9,11, and 94 and that should get me through the rest of this season. 

I have already bought my hunting fishing license this year. I have decided that I want to get a Sportsmans license. Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade to a Sportsmans license and my hunting fishing license purchase be credited towards the Sportsmans license? I would just ask a licensing agent but I have gotten a great deal of false information from them in the past.

Cummins makes an awesome engine. It's those Dodge trucks that fall apart around the drivetrain that leaves something to be desired.

That's the sad part.  This is my company truck and my boss has us change the oil about every 40K.  It absolutely kills me to do that.  Still she burns zero oil. 

Meanwhile on our southern boarder...  Ever think that maybe the government has their priorities all messed up?

The best accessory that you can buy for that truck is a bus pass.  Get you a 7.3 and be done with it.  Mine has 410K on it and it's still going strong.

Got sighted in this evening.  Gun shot great!  Can't wait for Saturday morning!

I recently acquired a New England break style .45.  It's been a fiasco getting everything ready.  First I couldn't find ammo for it.  Then I went to sight it in on Saturday and realized that I had left my power at home ,45 minutes away, after selling a buddy half the bottle that I bought.  Was supposed to sight in today but my buddy had to work late, plan is to do it tomorrow.  With any luck I'll have more luck after the season starts then I've had getting ready for the season. 

Best of luck finding it.  I've had several fiends have bikes stolen over the years. I've been lucky myself but I'll put a bike in my living room or kitchen before I leave it outside.  Yes, I've done that several times.  Had a buddy a few years ago have a KLX250 stolen from him at his apartment complex as well.  Surprised that bike would be very high on a thieves list.

I've been dreading the change.  It's been kind of nice here lately because it's hardly daylight until 8 am.  That means I don't have to be up at 430 or 500 in order to get to work before daylight.  Now I'll have to get up earlier and come home in the dark most of the time as well.

  I have overheard the sporting goods supervisor recommend the best pellet rifle to a customer to kill the neighbors dog. He also said 1911s are designed to maim kids and he would never order hollow points because they are designed to "kill kids". He also said he would never sell military ammo and I have caught them hiding 5.56 under the counter several times per his orders. He HATES ARs and tries everything, including lying to customers, to try not to sell them. He told me all a person needs is a bolt action rifle. And yes I contacted his boss over all those comments.     Wow, just wow.  There is so much wrong in each of these scenarios. 

I've seen 3 cows in the road in the past 2 weeks.  Got me thinking, what is the proper course of action when this happens?  Try to find the farmer?  Call the sheriff?  Shoot it and throw it in the truck?

Although I'm not totally in favor of abortions, the whole "there are tons of people that want children to adopt" thing doesn't hold water.  There are already too many children who don't have families, yet there are people who want to adopt but do not qualify.  A close friend of mine and his wife looked into adoption recently after they found out that they couldn't have children of their own.  Most of these adoption organizations are christian based.  My friend and his wife were denied for the sole reason that he has to work on Sundays and couldn't be in church every Sunday.  Never mind the fact that they would provide a loving family, a financially secure household, and a bright future for a child.  Seems to me that these organizations would be putting children in any home that wanted them unless there was a really good reason not to.  As much as I hate the idea of abortion as birth control we already have too many homeless children.  I think the deal should be that a woman can get an abortion as birth control but she should have to be sterialized afterwards. 

Got the kid out of bed early this morning and went out in search of snow. None at our house but a half hour drive into the mountains netted us plenty. This was in Blount County. I've heard reports that Mt. LeConte got a record 16 inches last night.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read the title.

I first read about this young lady a couple of months ago and have thought about her often.  Saddest damned thing I've hard in a long time.

Cows are dangerous killers. Anyone wanting to own one of those horrible things should have to pass a background check and register it. We have to do this for the children.

It hasn't even been hot this summer.  We only had a handful of days get past 90.  The hunidity on the other hand was the worst of any summer that I remember. 

Move to a neighborhood with a good HOA, problem solved.

You guys need to step away from the TV and get outside :p

Seems like it is getting better.  And I agree with Frankmako completely I hope the gougers have to eat it and choke on it when they do.  I wonder if these gun shops that gouge realize that they loose business because of this.  Case in point, a few weeks ago the wife and I were on a little road trip and stopped in at a well known gun shop that I won't say the name of but it is in Benton, Tennessee.  I was just planning on doing a little browsing, checking to see if they did have .22 ammo in stock, and picking up a holster for a gun that I had just acquired.  Well they did have some .22 in stock 525 (I think) boxes of Remington Thunderbolt, which was priced at $70 or $75 a box, can't remember exactly.  In protest  refused to buy the holster that I was going after.  And, because I'm stubborn I'll probably never cross their threshold again.

  MOST people I've seen at the range with super high dollar guns who are running their mouth had a hard time keeping their shots on the paper and not shooting up the target stands.  After all, a gun can only be as good as the person shooting it.    What bugs me?  I saw a laser for a Hi Point the other day.  Nothing wrong with Hi Points, but if all I could afford was a Hi Point then when I got the money to put a laser on it the Hi Point would be going bye bye for something better.  Never got the laser thing anyway, I've tried them just not my hing.    These days this recent influx of uneducated know it alls in the gun community bothers me more than any silly gun mod.  :Tangent: that's another thing that I really like about TGO, this community has so much good information to offer, hard to find in the gun world these days.

I've moved into a couple of houses with this problem.  Paint now, don't wait, it will be much easier without stuff in the house.  Then shampoo all of the carpets.  Keep the doors and windows open for a couple of days when the weather is nice as well. 

I try to work OT when I can and then work a short week every now and then when I have some money in the bank and can enjoy myself.
