I made the mistake one time of pulling the trigger on S/S 454 Holland&Holland that a buddy of mind handed me while on the back porch of his ranch house on Brush Creek. Not paying attention I thought it was a 4.10 shotgun and he told me to fire it at a big White Oak tree at the corner of his back yard. I just threw it up to my shoulder without tucking it in and I am just wearing a T-shirt. WOW!!!!! did I get a learning experience!!!! Was not expecting the recoil I got at all. It had a steel but plate with an engraved Bengal Tiger head in it and I wore a bruise of that tiger head in my shoulder about a week and hurt to move my right arm for about a week also. I never again have shot anything someone handed me without checking to see what I was going to shoot. Glad that was about 25 years ago. Today it probably would have broke my shoulder..............................

Well it is finally happening and I was wondering when it would. Their prices and entire business operation sucks and now it is coming back to bite them in the arse. People are cutting the cords in droves and it is a well deserved and well over due action by the public................ http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Comcast-Stock-Takes-a-Hit-Over-Cord-Cutting-Worries-139811

I would think it is the manufacturers that is keeping the prices up as they have learned people will still purchase it at the higher prices and it does allow them to make more profit. I'm sure there was not a lot of profit in the 22 ammo prior to the panick buying and when they saw people will buy it why not make more profit. I don't look for it to come down any time soon and I really don't need any so does not make me much difference I have an ammo safe the size of a camper size refridgerator and no more space in it for another 50 round box of 22lr. I had 90% of mine bought before the panic and the rest after the panic. I know most of it will get passed down to my son and grandsons.

I kind of thought with all these cooler nights that they may begin to migrate but so far I have a ton of birds on the feeders and they are still here this morning. I am expecting any day to wake up and not have any but I will keep some feeders up till at least first frosts........

It was on the minds of the people for about a year except for people who lost family and friends in the attacks. Soon as the World Trade Monument was completed it was like OK! We have fixed it now. For most of them they will never get over it. The governments at all levels kept telling the people that they needed to get things back to normal and not to let the Terrorists know that we will roll over for them and surrender our way of life. Well, they need to practice what they preach and not sit back inviting the enemy to come and live in our country which is what many politicians are demanding while President Trump is doing everything in his power to keep them out. If they don't live here they can't set off bombs at marathons or try and blow up buildings and shoot people or run them over with trucks and cars. .................JMHO

Who still has birds?? I had to fill 8 of my feeders this morning and still have birds every where fighting over feeders!!!!

They are doing anything and everything they can to erase our Country's history and if folks keep letting the left continue soon our children will not know anything about out history as they are doing their best to get American history classes removed from our schools...............

Some one must have called them complaining about it not being lowered..............JMHO

Probably needs to be rewired, new lights and a new coat of paint..............ROFLMAO..............

Weather Service finally said that they are expecting Jose to turn north after approaching the south east coast and just dying in north Atlantic ocean. That would be nice if it does just that...........JMHO

I know I may be in minority on this but I think it should be manditory that each new media spend about 10 minutes discussing 9/11 and showing to planes striking the towers at least once a week in Prime time so the young people being born after it took place can see and learn why we are still at war with this enemy so they will have some kind of reference to learn from. You know it will never be taught in our schools.............JMHO

Sounds like you have covered all your bases. I have no other ideas I can offer. Some times this new freon can be a pain in the butt to get it right. My son cusses the stuff all the time trying to get all the equipment to do what it s suppose to do. I was lucky enough that i quit working on cars for a living before that junk came out. I know back when it first came out he was retro-fitting all the older cars to accept the new stuff and it gave him fits for a few years. Hope you get it figured out!

They are calling for some serious rain here tonight and tomorrow and some wind. I kind of thought it was going to be raining a lot when and if it made it this far north and it looks like it will. I bet we will have some flooding like we did with Harvey but I hope not!!!!!

Ok, let me ask you this? I know it might be a stupid question but did you make sure you put at least 4 oz's of Compressor oil in the system? I use to always put in the oil after I pulled a vaccum on the system and would use the gauges to add the oil and then add no more than three cans of freon. Also if your watching the A/C compressor when it is squealing is the clutch turning on the compressor or is it look like it might be stopping and going like it might be trying to recycle as if low on freon. If the expansion valve was mal-functioning you would be getting real high side readings when it is running. If all else fails and it were mine and you have to gauges designed for servicing A/C units and you have access to a vaccum pump I would remove all the freon you have in the system and pull a vaccum until all your gauges read zero. Turn off all gauge valves and begin adding freon back into system. If you added oil first time you should not need to add again as vaccum pump will not remove the compressor oil. Reason for doing this is you may have an air lock in the system and being a closed system it has no way of venting the air lock. When system is operating at normal depending on out side air temps 70-80 degrees, High side should be 190-200 lbs and low side should be 50-60 lbs. Good luck with your Rambler.

If I can remember properly back when got mine new in the box the instructions said not to disassemble but just oil ever so often and enjoy shooting it.

I have watched a couple programs about it on the Biography channel and Discovery Channel but most of the news was focused on the Hurricanes. I can still remember what I was doing when I learned about it. I was fishing and had a radio playing some music and it was interupted to bring the news that we are under attack and went on to tell what had happened. At first I thought it was one of those Orson Wells programs but my room mate called me and told me he was watching it on TV. I loaded the boat and went home to watch it. Cars was lined up at all filling stations. I didn't bother stopping because at the time I had 3 30 gallon containers full at the house with sta-bil in them plus truck was almost full and both tanks in boat were full. I think many people still think of it often but most don't talk about it because they might say something to a person that lost someone that day in towers or Pentagon or on one of the planes. It is and was our Modern Day Pearl Harbor. There were 2403 killed at Pearl and 3150 total killed in Twin Towers and Pentagon and in Flight 93 that went down in PA. It's kind of hard to not think about it in some way since we are still at war with the enemy that attacked us and probably will be till the end of time because the people that attacked us all seem to have a death wish and there are Millions if not Billions of them we are fighting both home and abroad..........JMHO

Lets hope it stays out there till it burns it self out and just goes away. Weather Service is not even talking about Jose at all..........JMHO

Yep, back when growing up I think all kids knew not to stand with their hand out waiting for Mom and Dad to put money in it like they do these days. Now with that said, I am not talking about all kids. There are a lot of youngsters that will still go out and earn money cutting lawns in their neighborhoods and rake leaves in the Fall and do other odd jobs for neighbors to earn their own money but they are the exceptions and have goals. I have all respect for these kids for sure.

So was I and he stood his ground against Irma for sure. That guy was very determind to show folks how brave(or Stupid) he is but he did not give up!!! They said big signs where blown down and stuff was blowing past him and he still stood his ground.............

Welcome to TGO and yep, Greatest bunch of folks on the internet.....................

I was watching an interview on Fox with Mapp and he was really trying to deny that he said he wanted weapons confiscated from civilians but the Fox host was not accepting his answers and he kept reading the orders and Mapp just kept saying that his order was not pertaining to civilian weapons. He said it was ment that the NG were authorized to take firearms from gun stores but were also ordered to purchase the guns with NG vouchers with payment to follow after the storm. Mapp finally cut the interview because the Fox news commentator kept pounding the fact that his order said civilian arms and all other necessary items. Mapp was just trying to back peddle the entire interview..........JMHO

Prayers sent John for your son and everyone else down there!!

I was not always a milkman(boy) but I did other things to make money also by age 11.There was this very old gentleman that lived next door to us on the country road and in the swamp ponds behind the house were fish and big turtles the old man taught me how to fish. He also taught me how to catch snapping turtles in the swamp ponds. Then in the Spring of the year he showed me where and about when the baby painted turtles would hatch and cross the road to get back to the swamps from the warm hill sides. Now I bet your wondering what I ment by not always a milk boy. As I grew a little older I began catching those snapping turtles and putting them in cages in our back yard the old man gave me. People in the small town we lived in loved to eat snapping turtle so as they wanted some turtle they would come out to our house and buy a turtle. I would put the turtle alive in a tote sack and place it in the trunk of their car for $6.50 cents but the turtles would weigh about 35 to 45 lbs depending on which one they picked. I would sell about 40 to 50 a summer. In the Spring when the painted baby turtles began crossing the road they would come at rate of 25 to 50 a day and I would collect them and when I had about 200 or more my mother would take me to several pet shops in the area and I would sell for 25 cents each and make an average of 40 to 50 bucks a trip. I was also in the bait business. The old man showed me how to catch night crawlers at night after a good rain. They would come out at night and you had to be fast or they would scoot back in their hole. You would use a flashlight to find them in your yards. I found that by putting a green colored lense on the light they didn't move back to hole quite as fast making them easier to catch. The DesPlaines River ran just out side of our town and the african Americans would come out of Chicago on weekends and fish for Carp and Bullheads along the banks with mostly cane poles. They would buy their night crawlers in Chicago and pay $1.00 for 10 crawlers. I began taking tin cans of night crawlers with 25 worms for 75 cents and I sold out every time I went and I would have 50+ cans. All my neighbors save cans for me. When it did not rain my father knew the guy that ran to Golf Course in the town and they would water about every day and the man would let me collect night crawlers on the fairways but was not allowed on any greens but I could almost fill a 5 gallon pail in 2 hours. The old man had built me a big worm bed for me to keep the night crawlers in and I kept it full during ice out when the river was flowing. Later when I was about 12 or 13 the old man taught me his secret weapon Dough Ball bait recipe made with Wheates, eggs, Vanilla extract and water and Carp loved them. I would make them during the week and freeze them wrapped in wax paper and take them to the river along with the night crawlers and sold them 10 for a dollar but first I had to prove to the men that they worked. I had stepped up to rod and reel then and owned 2 Zebco 33's on metal rods and got to the river on my bike pulling my wagon full of products before sun up and would catch a couple bigger Carp that lived off the bank so when they saw me catching fish on them they not only bought the Dough Balls but bought the big Carp too. The summer I was 13 I was selling snappers, Painted turtles, Worms and Dough balls and fish and ended the summer earning over $500.00. I had a bank account and every Monday I would make a deposit. I would keep out what I wanted to spend and saved the rest. I was quite the business man for a couple years which was what helped me be able to buy a few shotguns for hunting and my Colt single action back then. I lost the old Gentleman as he passed away when I was 15 and I had lost a very good friend. I know this was kind of long but I thought some might find it amusing how a young person would work back then to make money verses what kids think is important today in their lives......

Ok, I guess I must be one of the really old guys here cause back in the 50's they were actually looking at doing experiments at dropping a bomb in the eye to see if they could blow the eye apart and make it fall a part. Howard Hughes was willing to put the money in to it if the Federal Government was really going to try it. He also offered to supply the plane to drop the bomb. I was remembering hearing about that on the news back when I was youngster and I was wondering what ever came out of the idea because I never heard if they did it and failed or never tried it..........

Well thats sure better than a sharp stick in the eye..................
