gomer pyle

My wife and I are wanting to get a vacuum sealer for meats and garden extras. I was looking for recommendations on brands and models. I've looked at the Food Saver 5460 and it sounds good on their site but I wanted first hand experience.

I thought I was ready to be her nurse but that is a rough surgery with a lot of care needed. I'm glad she went ahead with reconstruction now instead of later. Like you said, plastic surgeon expects 6month to 1 year recovery. And yes we couldn't have done it without God!

I feel your pain, it is scary. My wife is just 31. We were lucky in that we found a GREAT doctor and staff. Her first doc sucked to say the least. The best news is, the doc called today to tell us that the path report came back that all of the cancer was removed with a good safety margin(at least that's what I call it, can't remember the actual term). Also, the lymph node that she had to remove came back benign.

She's out of surgery. Both doctors said everything went well. They were able to remove all of the cancer. Thanks for the prayers

My wife goes in tomorrow for a pretty big surgery to remove cancer. They estimate a 5-7 hr surgery. This is her first surgery and first time to be put to sleep. We found out at Christmas that she has cancer and then a couple of weeks ago that it may be in her lymph nodes. Please say a prayer for a safe surgery and a benign test result on the other.

Sounds similar to the Greenlee's that work bought. They are considered "smart meters". I have seen them show voltage where none existed and visversa. I never trusted them. Does it self change between AC and DC? I would try to return it, you will never full trust it even if it starts acting right.

I'm a lineman, so from wet to dry, from muddy field to concrete, it changes every day. The first pair of Irish Setters I had I loved but the last two have not held up well. I can't wear a Muck everyday, they kill my back.

My go to company(Hoffman) for my work boots has stopped making my size in slip ons. I've tried Chipajunk, Redwing, Danner, and Irish Setter and none of these really tickle my fancy. I have not found a store that carries size 14D with any selection(most don't carry any), so I have to order. I found Hoffman a few years ago and have had awesome luck with my lace ups. I would like to find other small companies that have more craftsmanship in their boots, any recommendations?

I really like this one

I somehow missed the range officer when I went to Springfield's site(probably because I was on my phone). I like it a lot.

On Target did one of mine. Also, The Outpost is just outside of Murfreesboro in Christiana

I've consolidated most of my calibers and got rid of all my 1911s and while I like my glocks they just don't fit my hands like a 1911 does. I want to stay with 9mm and I'd like to get another 1911. I've looked online at the EMP but from what I've read, due to the composite frame(?) you can't shoot +Ps thru them. Also, I wonder if the smaller frame will fit my hands? What other 9mm 1911 options are out there? I know there is costume shop stuff in the $2k plus range but that's out of my league right now. I'm in the dreaming stages right now, due to unexpected medical bills.

What brand upper?

I would like to see pics of some side chargers. I've been looking at them a lot lately and think I'll probably try one when the funds allow it. I think I like the reciprocating ones better.

I've been using Lucas GunOil for all moving parts and spraying/wiping down the outside with RemOil.

If I understand you correctly: I believe I have my trust set up with my wife and son as heirs, so they would not have to submit finger prints and photos? My wife already doesn't care for firearms, I sure she will love having to go get that stuff done so I can purchase more.

Good info. I ended up using Parker's. he is only 20 min from my house and had awesome customer service.

I never thought about that. Thanks

I'm wanting a different scope(more magnification) on my AR with a 18" bull barrel. Ill mostly shoot between 100-200 yards but would like to try 300. I have a Bushnell AR Optics 4.5-18x40 that I'm not using on anything. How well does it do? Is it worth mounting for what I'm wanting? Ive also looked at a Nikon M-223 Rifle Scope 4-16x 42mm, but I'm not sure I'm gaining enough for the extra money. Any opinions on this scope? Any other one I should consider that is similar.

Thanks. I forgot about their giveaway

But should it ramp up when it sees load or should I keep it screaming?

I have this generator(http://www.northerntool.com/images/downloads/manuals/165914.pdf). When I got it, it had been on fire, run over with a lull, buried in a trash pile, etc... there was nothing wrong with the motor or generator so I picked it up on the cheap. I have replaced the frame work, breather assembly, gas tank, and a few other small things. Some of the brackets for the carb were bent but I have it running now. I have never been around a generator before and now nothing about them. When I first got it running, it was idling at a nice slow speed but only putting out 60 +/- volts. I assumed it would ramp up under load but it doesn't. I've adjusted the engine speed up until I'm getting 120v but I don't think this is the correct way to do it and I don't think it will be right under load. Does anyone have knowledge on how these are supposed to work?

New safe. A Superior Master 50

I called and talked to someone at Parker Safes in Shelbyville today. He recommended a Superior Master Series and from what he told me and what I've looked up, I leaning towards it. It is 10 ga and has a fire rating of 1650 for 90 min.

I need a larger safe. I'm still not sure how I feel about it but what's everyone's opinion on http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/cannon-ts5950-75-safe? Its larger than what I need but I would like to buy once this time. I've also looked at the Liberty Fatboy, but I really can't tell much difference in the two especially for the price diffence. What fire rating, temp, should I look for? I feel like 1200 is kinda low but I'm not a specialist.
