  1. I don't want to step on anyones toes or anything, but if Bersa needs a PC monitor I may well have one closer to hand for him. Might save some driving and time and get the goal accomplished? :shrug: I'd be happy to look into it if it would help you guys.
  2. dang I'm gonna be fairly close* on tuesday, house hunting in atlanta that day. Not sure if I can convince my dad that a knoxsville layover is a solid part of the travel plans, but if nothing else pops up let me know and we'll find a way to work it.     *Relative to nashville
  3. Look into Milky Spore. It's a bacteria that specifically attacks grubs but is pet/people safe. I used to carry the product and the company is awesome about giving out safety info, look them up and call and ask about chickens, but you should be good to go.
  4. Could be all manner of critter I would guess. Best way we've found to eliminate moles and gophers is to take out the food source. If you have a seed spreader for your mower there are any number of products out there good for killing grub. Bad news is you generally need to apply them a little earlier in the fall, or after the last frost. Otherwise They make these little 40 grain lead pills that seem to work well, but you gotta launch them fast enough to inject the little buggers.
  5. Of the 3 Kings, I gotta say Freddie may just be my favorite. BB was better at making a man feel his pain, but man this song gets me jumping every time.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_ONyukSLqA
  6. I'd go out of my way to support a gun company from Ca providing their pricing was in line with the rest of the country and not grossly inflated like most of the shops.
  7. I missed the boat. I coulda gone to college through loans, then expect others to pay them back? I done plain missed out. Of course, not as bad as my sister, poor chump (chumpette?) actually went and got loans for her education. :rolleyes: and to top it off, she's PAYING it back? WTF?! With interest!?1!! What a sucker :rofl:    I guess just joining the work force, being debt free and well paid was really the beginning of the end for me after all. Screw 10 years experience in a field managing college educated newbs, I missed my free education!
  8. Glad he's going in. I'm afraid he will end up in a protective unit or some such, to general population where he belongs. Wish the judge had been able to sentence him to 18 years though, maybe after serving a sentence like that the number would sick in his head a bit better. Of course, we may get some sweet, sweet prison justice and he'll be more concerned with things sticking where the sun don't shine than just in his head. JMHO*           *For Bersa
  9. Dang, hopefully the rest of the trip goes much smoother. I can understand a reluctance to switch careers for our friend though, as I recall they took good care of him when he had that medical issue and good work is always going to have it's ups and downs anywhere. He could have just as easily been shot and robbed driving through east nashville. That said, I doubt kidnapping would be much risk, and if I have to get shot at all I'd much rather it happen a few miles from Vandy than in some rat hole country.   Tough decision.
  10.     The real trouble with the higher education scam, er I mean, system. Everyone needs a degree, jobs optional.
  11. Damn, thats no good on a lot of levels. Hopefully those responsible are found along with the inventory. Friggin thieves.
  12. My dad wore one for 30 some odd years in numerous makes. He like the Renegade holsters the best, not much of an online presence IIRC, but a very nicely made holster suitable for duty use.   Further research tells me they are closed. too bad, their product was really great. Here's one that is very similar looking, uses real sheepskin lining like the renegades did too. http://www.thewilderness.com/ankle-holsters/the-wilderness-renegade-ankle-holster/
  13. Dave, we've had differences in opinion, but I wish I could like this post twice. Very well said, thanks for sharing your experience. :up:
  14.         Depending on the barrel diameter I imagine a guy could put a clamp on or pin on gas block with a rail to mount the sight. if one was feeling froggy I think the ARMS folding front sight/gas block would be great too, providing it fits of course. Worse case just do like FTE says and have a short radius, couldn't be much shorter than a stock AK pistol and regardless of how much ummmph the round has, at the end of the day it is a PCC and probably won't be making anything beyond 100yard shots I would think.
  15. I've been using it for the last few years and will keep using it. It doesn't score the highest marks for corrosion resistance or cleaning, but it does a good enough job at both that considering it's multiple uses for other hobbies and around the house, it makes a lot of sense to have a can or three around. I use it on my locks at home ,just spray a little on the key and work it in and out and turn it a few times, on my weather seals for car and home, obviously on my guns,on my belt, holsters kydex or leather) , and I've found it;s a great item for the guitar player as well. I spray a little bit on my nuts and then a bit on about an inch of the strings where they rest in the slots. It makes a great fretboard cleaner and I have even used it to clean up a pair of old strings rather than replace them, didn't make them like new, but I got a few more days out of them.   I still keep some hopes around and use it for nstalgias sake mostly. I also still keep a few other oils and greases, and foaming bore cleaner as well, but for most things the balistol does well enough that I don't give the potential performance of alternatives much thought.
  16. Hope things look up for you David, let us know if we can help.
  17. Something told me, some little nagging feeling, that if I counted all the 'ums' and 'ughs' it would be worth a laugh. I couldn't make it past the blitzkrieg of the first minute of her talking. Wow, the only good news comes from the sense that she might be among the best and brightest in her cause.
  18. Glad they made this happen for the guy. I recall a similar situation happening when they made the other three films, in fact they even made a movie about it.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4-PWNqCsYs   Cute movie.
  19.     :ugh:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjwWjx7Cw8I   :rock:
  20. I might still go the yank and replace route, at least with a few, I'mm gonna let a Dr. set out my options and see where it goes from there, i'm not opposed to any treatment option at this point, just want to get started. 
  21. I'm getting my mileage out of this one, twice in a week. :D [URL=http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/TrickyNickyII/media/A093D6A2-B0D4-46A1-9840-16518F340E48-742-000000B4447E5F92.jpg.html][/URL]
  22. My parents have a fig tree that would probably foot the bill in your case, not sure if it is supposed to ned pollination, but they only have one and this year it started producing too small of fruit to eat, but it is producing. I want to say we planted it maybe 3 years ago? If you like figs this could be a good way to go. I'd also recommend peaches if you are lucky enough to have another close by in the neighborhood, they do well in out zone and are delicious. Dot get too big with proper management, produce relatively quickly f yu are buying from sapling, and in our case, don't drop too much fruit too quick.   I would always recommend a fruit tree over a decorative one if you are only going to have one ,the key is finding out whats nearby so it can be pollinated. With that in mind, is 2 trees completely off the table? it's a firly minimum added expense for setup and maintenance, and it really opens your options. Cherries would satisfy both of your needs for example, beautiful blossoms and delicious fruit.
  23. You want to talk about a strong dislike, I'm a native Californian :cool: Yeah, I win. :rofl:    As far a s the wisdom teeth go, I've heard from a few people it wasn't so much the pain as the visual of seeing the dentist go to work like a carpenter trying to pull a screw out of a 2x4 with a claw hammer. I'll cross that bridge when i get there, but the idea of going under gives me the heeby jeebys. I have never gone under from IV, but I know from experience with nitrous oxide that I get physical when I start going under  :ugh: . I'll cross it when I get to it though and be sure to advise the anesthesiologist of that in any case.
