  1. I used this on my 20" TGO AR build; http://www.gmriflebarrel.com/gm-m16-m16a2-5-56mm-20-barrel-with-extension-1-8-twist/ [URL=http://s36.photobucket.com/user/McGarrett50/media/photo2_zps26670907.jpg.html][/URL]
  2. Blade HQ, shipped autos to me no problem. I'm no special snowflake, as far as I know.
  3. I got some of my stolen stuff out of a pawn shop one time. It was an inside job. One of my employees took some items from our service truck and pawned them. About 15 minutes of interrogation and he admitted to it and told me where it was. An officer went with me and they released it to me but I still had to pay the pawn shop their fees for it. The officer said I will be paid back from the court through restitution from the thief. I needed the tools for work so I paid it right then so I could get them back.   It's been 3.5 years and I have not seen a dime. The court told me all the money that he pays goes toward fines and costs first and the victim gets their money last. It's only $85 for the pawn fees and the stuff was worth about $1,500 so I was just glad to get it back. The guy did not even get any jail time just more probation on top of what he already had.   The officers have access to a database of pawn shop activity so if it's in pawn they may be able to find it. Keep an eye out yourself also, it may turn up. Hope you find your stuff.
  4. We use this on all our animals; https://www.revolution4dogs.com/. Works very well. I have also heard of the borax trick for the carpet.
  5. Is this what you have in mind; http://images.halloweencostumes.com/products/1514/1-1/adult-gunfighter-western-costume.jpg
  6. I came to this same realization about 5 years ago. I am still working but I have lost about 35 lbs. Here are a few things that worked for me:   1. Apple Cider Vinegar Drink; http://homeremediesforlife.com/apple-cider-vinegar-weight-loss/, there are several different concotions but I make up a gallon of iced tea and put 1/3 cup of ACV, 1/3 cup honey, 1/3 cup lemon or lime, a little cinnamon. You get used to the taste, it's just like tangy lemonade. I drink about 3 or 4 16 oz glasses of this a day. 2. B complex vitamin once a day, helps burn fat,  3. Drink plenty of water 4. Cut out soft drinks 5. Meals; Cut back on carbs and sugar, eat more fruit and vegetables, portion control, eat a small snack between meals, replace 1 meal a day with soup 6. Exercise; I do a combination of walking, push-ups, and total gym. My goal is about 4 or 5 hours a week of exercise. When I started doing push-ups I could really tell a difference. Start with low reps and work up to more, do multiple sets. Mix it up.  7. Get outside; walk, yard work, gardening, shooting, cut firewood, etc., anything to get away from the TV and food
  7. My UPS guy carries treats also. My dog gets up in the truck sometimes looking for the treat bag. She loves to see the brown truck coming up the driveway.
  8. I have an '03 F350 with a 6.0 with a service bed on it. We bought it new in '03, It has 171,000 on it and has always given us good service. We are in the truck and bus repair business and use it for road service calls.   Here are a few things I have learned about the 6.0:   1. keep oil changed regularly, 7,500 miles, and change fuel filters every other oil change. Use a good diesel rated 15w40 oil, we do not use synthetic in ours just regular dino oil. We currently use Conoco, but have used Texaco, Shell, Mobil, and Pennzoil from our bulk tank over the years. 2. I added a coolant filter like the big trucks have, these engines have casting sand in the cooling system that eats up the water pump and egr cooler, the filter gets it out. We changed the coolant to the red extended life coolant like we use in big trucks. We have never had any cooling system problems. I cut open the first coolant filter we changed out and it was full of black sand. 3. Rev-X Oil additive,https://www.revxoil.com/REV-X_High_Performance_Oil_Additive.aspx, this is like a miracle product for powerstrokes, or any motor. I found about from an older retired mechanic that I know. I don't usually believe in snake oil type products but this is good stuff. I got mine from amazon. 4. Allow for warm up time in cold weather and allow for turbo spool down/ cool down time before shutting it off. 5. Take care of your truck and it will take care of you.   Hope this helps you out.   Another option for you might be an older suburban with a 6.2L diesel. I used to have 2 of them for company vehicles and we got excellent service out of them, 23mpg on the highway and 18 to 20 around town. Just hard to keep a 700R4 trans going for very long.

  10. Ultimate survival vehicle [URL=http://s36.photobucket.com/user/McGarrett50/media/ateamvan_zps454d6f67.jpg.html][/URL]
  11. I have to see pics of the mustang before making my recommendation but in the mean time leave the knife at home.
  12. This is my everyday belt; http://shop.simplyrugged.com/ecommerce/Real-Man-s-Belt-single-layer-of-leather.cfm?item_id=171&parent=670. Got it 3 years ago along with their Silver Dollar pancake holster for my SP101. Excellent quality.
  13. I bought a Glock 27 back in July from another TGO member and I also got a LW 9mm conversion barrel with it. That barrel is excellent quality and very accurate. Hope that helps you out.
  14. I had a similar situation happen last winter at a local gas station but I was by myself. While pumping gas some redneck guys came flying into the gas station spinning tires and their truck got sideways and they lost control and spun almost completely around coming within inches of my truck and another vehicle near me.   I hollered at them and they acted all pissed off and stopped and the passenger got out of the truck. I just told them in as calm of voice as i could that if they want to kill or disable themselves or destroy their truck they should do it where nobody is around. They just got back in the truck and left. The guys in the other vehicle said i shouldn't let things get to me like that.
  15. Welcome to TGO! Glad to have you.
  16. +1 on the GP100 and SP101. I have both in .357/ .38. i also have a J-frame .38. 
  17. My widget factory is discontinuing all models of widgets except one and discounting the price on the "discontinued" models.    Was it a strategic business decision to reduce overhead due to poor sales volume on the other widgets or was it just a brilliant marketing ploy to sell more total widgets? Will I actually discontinue the other widgets or is is just a fire sale of sorts because I overpriced certain models of the widgets and they did not sell well enough and I need to boost sales?
  18. I have the same problem identifying the newer cars, I thought it was just cause I am not as into the newer cars and also getting older probably factors in. I consider myself a car guy but any more I can't tell one from another without seeing the name badges.   I saw a KIA the other day but would have swore it was a Lincoln until I saw it park and could see the emblem on it. They do all look the same to me anymore. In the 70's or 80's there would be no way of getting an import mixed up with a domestic car.
  19. I have 2 speed loaders for each revolver I own. GP100 and SP101 in .357 and J-frame in .38.  I usually just stick the speed loaders in my pants pocket when carrying but I would like to look into the speed strips. Speed loaders are a bit bulky even with looser fitting pants.
  20. I'm 6'5" 220lbs and carry iwb sometimes and sometimes owb in the 4 o'clock position. I have had my carry permit for 12 years but only started carrying iwb a few years ago. I wear Dickies or Carhartt carpenter jeans a lot, they are cut a little bigger any way and I have lost a few lbs so they fit kind of loose but not like gangster baggy or anything. I carry my SP101 iwb in this holster from Simply Rugged; http://shop.simplyrugged.com/ecommerce/Silver-Dollar-Pancake%E2%84%A2-.cfm?item_id=152.   I usually wear a wife beater or regular t shirt tucked in to keep something between me and the holster and then a polo or button up shirt untucked for cover. +1 on a good belt. I have the 1.75" Real Mans Belt; http://shop.simplyrugged.com/ecommerce/Real-Man-s-Belt-single-layer-of-leather.cfm?item_id=171&parent=670. I have no problem concealing it under a thin polo shirt. Dark colors seem to work better for concealment in my opinion.   I bought the belt and holster about 3 years ago and I wear the belt everyday. The quality of the belt and holster are excellent. The holster is comfortable iwb and can also be carried owb. Their pricing is not too bad for custom leather, it seems to even be cheaper or about the same as similar Galco off the shelf products.   I've been checking out these holsters on amazon; http://www.amazon.com/Conceal-Mini--Right-Handed-Horse/dp/B009AKQRF8/ref=sr_1_5?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1412799559&sr=1-5&keywords. I have never dealt with them but they have good reviews.   My advice is make sure your pants have some room to move around and use your belt to take up the slack and the t shirt helps out with comfort. I just wear my belt a notch looser when carrying iwb. I find the 4 o'clock position works better for me when sitting at my desk or driving, iwb or owb about the same.   Hope that helps you out.
  21. 2re·spect  verb \ri-ˈspekt\ : to feel admiration for (someone or something) : to regard (someone or something) as being worthy of admiration because of good qualities : to act in a way which shows that you are aware of (someone's rights, wishes, etc.) : to treat or deal with (something that is good or valuable) in a proper way
  22. For leather holsters I highly recommend http://www.simplyrugged.com/. I have the silver dollar pancake for my sp101 revolver. I don't have any of theirs for my autos yet but would like to.   They have good quality carry belts also.
