I used to work in a Chevron station back when they were service stations and we put cars up on the rack and serviced them............in those days you dared not get under a Corvair without a cap on or it would give new meaning to the term "hair oil." Man those thinks leaked!!
-
.....................I think you'll see trouble with whatever is causing the leak well before you see any trouble from not draining an oil pan though.
Yeah I think so too. -
Ditto EssOne.
However... that's going through oil fast, isn't it?! Is it all over your driveway or getting burned up due to worn rings?
That much oil going through the rings would smoke like he was running on green wood. Rear main bearing oil seal? -
Well, if I understand your situation correctly, you're driving a thousand miles a month, leaking a quart of oil every 660 miles, or roughly a quart every 20 days. That means that in a five quart engine you'll leak all five quarts in roughly 100 days, which is well under the traditional maximum change interval of every six months. Because of your high consumption you are essentially running on clean oil all the time, so why change it? I would do just as you did today. I'm a real nut on keeping clean oil in my engines, but it seems to me you would be using new oil to replace oil that is darn near as clean. Naw, I'd just change the filter. IMHO.

When I was in the CHP Academy years ago, someone went to the Sacramento River one weekend and came back with a turtle about the diameter of a volleyball. So some wiseguy snuck over to Motor Transport and absconded with some of the CHP motorcycle tank decals and put one on the turtle's shell. Well, then all the protests started and signs saying "Free The Turtle" sprung up everywhere, much to the chagrin of the Academy staff. We loved to see a staff officer walking down the hall and somebody would hide in one of the dorm rooms and yell at the top of his voice to "Free The Turtle." The staff officer would then tear the place apart to find out who said it. I heard there were movements afoot to put a small red light and whip antenna on its shell along with the decal, but we graduated before any of that could be done. Our final act of humanitarian kindness was to remove the decal and take the turtle back to the river. The poor thing prolly still hates cops.

This is still the best deal I can find on Federal 5.56mm XM193 ball. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ammunition/rifle-ammunition/223-5-56/federal-5-56-55gr-fmj-bt-90rds-strclp.html
This is .33 per round. Palmetto also has some Federal 50 grain varmint loads for less than .30 per round, excluding shipping.

I've held off on buying anything made by CMMG because of what appears to be a growing dissatisfaction with their products in the forums I frequent. The general impression I'm getting is that CMMG made good products initially but it appears that quality has fallen off in the last couple of years. I was going to buy one of their SPK's for a build but will look elsewhere now.

I'm surprised this thread is still going.
Just for the record, GF informed me that she had already informed the host that I carry and he was completely fine with it. So the gun stayed on me.
Good food, good folks and a good time was had by all.
However, despite all the worry and warnings, I didn't have to shoot anybody. :shrug:
Good on you both.

...................................................... I just don't see the difference just because you have invited them into your home................................
If you don't recognize that particular difference then there is no sense in continuing this discussion any farther.

Best laugh I've had all day. Guess that makes me a racist. :pleased:

You noted that too eh?
Hard to miss.

Ken Curtis was in John Ford's classic The Searchers. (my fav western) Curtis's role as Charlie McCorry had him acting, playing and singing in it. Fighting too.
Yes, he was married to John Ford's daughter at the time.

The point of the post about the South Carolina statute was to interject into the conversation evidence that, contrary to what a lot of people posting in this thread seem to think, a substantial number of people in this country think carrying into a residence unnanounced is offensive, some even to a point of criminality. I'm well aware that Tennessee has no such statute.
I really find it incongruous that the same guys who will go to hell and back to defend the rule that "a man's home is his castle" will toss that rule aside so readily when it comes to carrying their guns into that castle without permission.

I see. So we won't respect another man's home without a law saying we must, and that lack of respect becomes OK because we can't be prosecuted for it. Right. Got it.

Well, given the South Carolina statute Mike.357 posted above, somebody's entire state government thought that carrying into a private residence without permission is a criminal act deserving of some pretty stiff criminal penalties for doing so - a minimum fine of a thousand bucks, up to a year in jail, or both, and forfeiture of your HCP for five years. Guess I'm not the only hardass on the subject, huh?

The 35% are obviously too young to have read Erma Bombecks "The Grass Is Always Greener Above The Septic Tank."

You talked like it was a deal. How much are they at Walmart? I need an inexpensive 22lr.
Sounds like it'll be obsolete before Walmart gets around to selling it to you.-

Yes he sure was. He even replaced Frank Sinatra in Tommy Dorsey's band for a time in 1941.

How many of my fellow geezers out there remember Matt Dillon's sidekick "Festus' from the Gunsmoke TV series? Well, did you know that "Festus" was an accomplished singer? Yep. His real name was Ken Curtis and he was one of the early (1949 - 53) members of the Sons of the Pioneers, Roy Rogers old alma mater.
Mr. Curtis recorded this number at a live performance in Germany in 1986, when he was 70 years old. Even in old age his really beautiful voice was still with him. Take a look.

A lot of us consider ourselves totally responsible for the security of our families in our homes, and part of that is exercising total control over who comes into the house armed and who doesn't. Having a concealed pistol aboard doesn't make one a good guy. Having a carry permit doesn't either. Nor does being a life member of TGO or being able to spell RKBA in seventeen different languages. What makes one a good guy for purposes of me admitting him into my home and into the presence of my family is trustworthy conduct, and that trustworthy conduct is forfeit in my book when someone I don't know comes into my house armed without informing me of that fact beforehand. That's where I'm coming from, and I'm certainly not alone in feeling this way.

How well does the 50 grain bullet perform in a barrel with a 1:7" rate of twist?
Erik88, that would take a dozen pages to answer, but I gravitate to the Federal XM193 load because it is low cost and performs as well as the military's M193 load in my guns, which makes it ideal for practice and for the stash. IMHO.
