Ours was down a while back for a weekend and all we had were box fans. Was real hard to deal with and it was nowhere as hot as now. Glad to know you thought ahead.

Looks great to me. Also looks like you could easily do this same work to make a key chain. Just another item you could add to your arsenal of designs.

Glad to meet ya! I grew up in Sevierville, worked in Knoxville, and live close to Johnson City. The Sevierville area is just too tourist ridden for me (high prices too), Knoxville is too much like a big city, but the Tri-cities keep a smaller town feel. You have access to a bunch of stuff due to the combined population. Plus you are close to VA and NC if you want a day trip. My only advice is buy as much land as you can afford if you want to shoot at home. My 2 acres is just too close for shooting comfort to other houses. Prices should be very favorable compared to NY.

So basically write off the bread basket states. No more crops there for a long while. That leaves the entire East coast to go hungry.

All kinds of crazy stuff......

Take a look at the highlighted area in the pic. There is a lug on the barrel that locks under the spring loaded piece that moves when you turn the break down lever. Make sure the spring loaded piece is moving. If not, you may be forcing it back because the spring is not moving it or at least not enough. Does the breakdown lever turn really easy? They cleaning all those moving parts. Otherwise the lug could be catching, but usually I have found that the lug keeps it from locking closed more than holds it closed if there is an issue.

I think staking the guilty to the bottom of the lake to act as fish feed and habitat would be appropriate.

It is not about the kid sometimes, it is the tools. If a xbox playing, pizza eating, bored kid stumbled on the right tool kit and applied it, all hell could break loose. I know for a fact that lots of "virus" code begins as white hat vulnerability testing that gets stolen and slightly reworked. So it is not far fetched. It does not matter who does it if it gets done. Also, it could be exploiting some previously undiscovered weakness. What if they skewed the power rating reported to allow units to burn out without being shut down. Or attacked a flaw in a chip used on the control boards to slam the generators into reverse....all at once. Obviously, I am not an expert on these systems, but a little study would go a long way. Burn out enough stuff and the outage becomes "as long as it takes to replace all the parts".

Wow, impressive. Can we get a shot of where the shot "drips" out?

If all else fails you could trade bullets with someone. You know just the lead, not the case and powder.....

Uhhhh... is it enough to say.....lots of guns. I worked out a package deal from a fellow TGO'er. Maybe I will admit publicly how many and which ones it was later. LOL

I can't remember back that far.....

Sounds like my entire life.

I am trying to figure it out. My Father's Day gift was suppossed to be a concert trip, but not sure how it will work out. My family will want to go on the trip, but not to the concert. Then I get grief if I am away from them all day. Plus going alone makes for a much less fun time.

Anyone planning to go to Louder Than Life in Louisville KY at the end of September? http://louderthanlifefestival.com

I fully believe that electricity is a luxury. It can be lived without. There are things that are harder and take a lot longer to do, but they still can be done if they need to be done. It would take a bit for us to revert back to simpler times. If it was the power grid being down versus a EMP, we would still have a time when we had fuel for tractors and trucks and things such as that. That would help ease the transition. I grew up with electricity, but no central hvac. We used wood to heat. Going back to it would not be a huge deal for me.

The dog, right? I knew I was right. Lol

Crap just think of the riots when they realize WiFi is down

Motion sensing paintball gun? https://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/automated-paintball-gun-keeps-the-residence-secure/

Bersa, ever looked into straw bale gardening? Get someone to position your bales (as many or as few as you like) then go at it. Here is an idea for example

Bear traps...they are Always the answer. Seriously though, wonder if timed sprinkers would scare them and wash away the "calling cards"?

He will be missed, but his influence will live on where ever zombies gather.

Then things would be dull...

I always talked myself out of tattoos. Some is the cost, the other is that I have an issue with identifying marks on my body. Not that I rob banks or anything, it is just a quirk with me. One of many quirks....
