Prayer sent

Static said it best. You cannot trust many people, you have to really get to know them. Unless you are family, you pretty much ain't welcome to the Party!! Not being ugly, just being truthful. In these days, you cannot trust the guy to not be casing the joint to see what stuff you got that he may want to try and take. It is what it is. Put your time into good, very good friends. I would love to have a community that I could ride the river with as well, but all it takes is 1 person running his/her mouth and the whole ship sinks. Hence the motto "loose lips sink ships".

Ok I will chime in, I work for a chemical company. DO NOT use a poly drum if you don't for sure know what was in it. The poly drums are made of HDPE and they are more porous than you would think. Any harmful chemicals can leech out for years. You cannot wash them out and use them for drinking or cooking. You could use for gardens if you can see algae growing in them, that is a good thing. If you can for sure see that it contained a food like syrup for soda then you could thoroughly clean and use it. You cannot be too careful, they may look good, smell good, and make you very sick or even kill you. Be careful!!!

Sorry for your loss Tanker. I know how your mom felt about Tennessee, every time we come up for a vacation we don't want to go home, that is why we are making it our retirement home if the Good Lord wills it. Those journals are worth more than silver and gold!

I think WW is stringing us along getting us hooked like a dope addict, then he is going to say $100 each for the "rest of the story" as Paul Harvey used to say!!

Beautiful song sang in English. I am tired of calling Lowe's for example and asked to press 1 for English. I am sorry, No I'm not sorry I am old and set in my ways and like Raoul has said many people immigrated to the U.S.A. and made certain that their kids learned English because they knew it was going to be much easier for them to get a good job if they could communicate with the majority of the citizens of the U.S.A. If you want to speak Spanish for example go to Mexico or Spain!! And while I am on a rant, I don't feel like giving any illegal alien from any country a "FREE" pass just because. I know personally know people that have went thru all the steps to become Legal Citizens and it is not fair to them to give these knuckleheads a free pass. My $0.02!!

Sorry to hear that Tanker. It sometimes looks like some folks have 1 issue after another and you wonder is it ever going to stop. Will be praying for your mom, you and the family.

Okay I will chime in, I too don't like any taxes however sales tax is the most fair. If you don't buy a $50,000 pickup truck you don't pay the sales tax. But the federal income tax was never ratified and is illegal. It was supposed to be a tax to business taxing only their profits. We that work for a living do not profit, we trade our time and expertise for money, but we don't make a profit on that time!!!

Thanks TDR I appreciate the info. Will continue praying for him. Nothing like getting old!!!

Hey  dats82, I didn't personally see it, but a good friend did. A gun show in New Orleans early last year .22 bricks $250. A local auction house .22 bricks went for $250 also early last year. Lots of gun shows in Ms and Fl they went for $125 a brick. They can keep them and put them where the sun don't shine!!!

Read this on another site so take it with a grain of salt. A guy living in Nebraska heard that a Cabela's gun clerk asked a Hornady manager that was there about the .22 shortage vs. new guy buyers and the Hornady guy said they expected 2 years before it got back to normal.

I read about Tankers medical problem last week, anyone heard how he is doing?

Tanker hope you get to feeling better. Yep old age ain't for the faint of heart, ya got to be pretty gritty!!

Must have lots of flats or practicing for a job with Nascar!!

The best time to shop wally world is 4-6 on any morning, Sunday is best. I ain't standing in line if they are handing out $100 bills, I have NO patience!! I am like Dennis, why have the 20 item or less line as nobody notices the sign.

In case you aren't aware the EPA is the worst enemy of the U.S.A. far worse than Russia or China ever thought of. That is why diesel fuel is so expensive because the EPA made the sulfur content so low they have to refine it twice to remove enough of the sulfur to meet the regs. Mexican trucks don't have all the DEF fluid and all the other crap on it? I don't have a college degree, but I did learn that this planet has an enclosed atmosphere. The air we breathe is the same that Mexican trucks and Chinese trucks polluted it with. So why is it that we have to bear the burden of keeping the planet clean??? The supertankers that bring crude oil from the middle east burn crude oil on the open ocean and switch to diesel when they get closer to land. Okay I will stop ranting now, not much use anymore.

Okay this is a guess, but looks like a hickory to me. Rip me some 1" slabs and I can turn them into loading blocks. Pretty nice lookin wood!! Somehow that sounds wrong. How about the grain and color of that tree looks nice!!

Guys this is one of the reasons I have no NRA, Mossy Oak or any other sticker or tag on my vehicles that say I hunt, shoot, fish, or whatever. I guess I need to put a golfing sticker on to make them leave me alone. I have heard that thugs see you driving with all the "gun" stickers on and follow you to work or home and know you have something worth stealing. Spots you handled it well and being aware of your surroundings is crucial.

Hey Rugerla 1 I said that line once and a welder that I didn't know told me. " I think you got screwed on both counts". I told him he didn't have to be so honest!!

If I were a betting man I would wager that most of the Wally World .22 ammo is getting sold to LGS's who then jack up the prices.

Got a friend in Florida told me his gun shop got a half a million dollar order in and guess what NO 22lr. I got him a brick for starters anyway.

Prayer sent for him and your family.

Sorry Glock55 but for certain you would have to change that name! LOL Shoot I have to be good to my kids and grandkids so they will take care of my sorry but when I sure enough get old.My oldest grandson is getting a camo Ruger 10-22 that is sure to get me a few brownie points.

The story I got from the guy is a friend won it in a raffle and sold it to him so I am pretty sure it is a factory gun. Hey Runco, if I was an expert I wouldn't be asking ya'lls advice. LOL On some things I just like another opinion as I have been stuck in the past and it never feels real good to find out later. Thanks Mac

Hi guys, I am going to buy my adult son an AR for Christmas. I had planned on a new S&W M&P but ran across a local deal of a used Bushmaster XM-15E2S flattop that has collapsible stock, leapers red dot, aftermarket handguards, foregrip with light and maybe bipod, sling and 3 mags. Also included in deal is 400 rounds of PMC Bronze ammo and 220 rounds of Wolf steel cased. He is asking $1,000 and although I think it is a good deal I am having a hard time deciding. I want your opinion so I don't have buyers remorse, or better yet I can put part of the blame on you. LOL Thanks Mac Also does anyone know how to check an upper to see what brand it is or anything, most I see don't have any marking.
