    I also have a AMT backup. It is reliable but is too small for my hands. Also the safety doesn't work. 

    Long ago I had a S&W model 59 nickel plated that I really wanted to like but it suffered with every type of jam imaginable.

  2. Since the Gov seems unwilling to do anything usefull to protect law abiding citizens, I think the citizens will begin to take that job themselves. Do you think Americans will tolerate conditions that are spreading over Europe where defenseless citizens are accosted on the streets by gangs of immigrants? Since Muslim terrorists are a protected class the Gov will not take kindly to that and will actively defend them, which will lead to confrontations. 

    Once Hillary gets her open borders the flood of immigrants will quickly overrun the system. When everything you make is taken to support illegals and anything you have left is taken by criminals with the support of the Government, you might change your mind about what you are willing to do.

     

    God I hope not.

  3. I had the first one done 11/16/15 and the second done 12/28/15. With the first, I took the pain pills as directed for two weeks, and flexibility got off to a great start. The second knee I quit the pills much sooner and have had a harder time with flexibility. Already better than before the surgery. Good luck

  4. So just discovered this. With the KNS redesign they now allow so many free articles per month or something. However, you can read the article around the pop up easily if you've used up all your articles...or you can go into your web browser and just delete the cookies for knoxnews.com and reset your article reads whenever you want. Yep, the morons at KNS are so stupid that they designed it so their protected site is not really protected at all.


    Just like having a couple of rent-a-cops is not really protected.
  5. I know this is about Electric smokers , but I made an old school Pit from concerete foundation blocks and didnt even cement them toagther. I just layed them on top of each other and use two pieces of plywood for the top. It makes such awesome BBQ . The Blocks were $50 for a bundle and everything else was just cheap scrap wood ,expanded metal and rebar . I use an old 50 gallon  drum barrel to burn my wood in . I cut small hole to get my shovel inside it and then shovel the wood coals over to my pit. Here is the pit and drum barrel . Its was cheap to make and will last several decades. Here are some chickens and three pork shoulders . The chickens take me 5 hours and the shoulders take around 10-15 hrs depending on thickness. I use Oak wood and Hickory Wood.

    Reminds me of my younger days. We would build a pit similar to this and do 1/2 a pig. Took 24 hours

  6. The use of firearms for self defense is not a basic human right, it is a privilege given to us by our fellow man and that privilege can easily be taken away by those who gave it to us. A right is something that cannot be legally taken away which firearms can and are being taken away. No one can legislate away a man's right to self defense but they can take away that man's privilege of using a firearm for self defense.

     

    Self defense is a basic human right but the tool you use is not part of it.

     

    Illegal aliens, even if they are murdering psychopaths here illegally, still have the right to self defense but their right to use a firearm in THIS country should not, and is not, allowed. When they decide to break the law by entering the country illegally they forfeit all rights afforded to citizens of this country. Now if they want to enter legally then they should have all the same rights as any other person here legally.

    YES, YES, YES. 1,000 times yes

  7. I am all for reducing the size of government and while I used to be a big supporter of police, some recent events have lessened my support, I hardly consider police to be parasites on society. They do a thankless job for way less than most people earn. as many bad apples as there are now I can't imagine what it would be like with all volunteers.

  8. Update: The heart cath showed I have Diastolic Heart Failure. The way I understand it, my heart is pumping ok but after it pumps it doesn't relax and refill with blood correctly. Probably caused by years of elevated blood pressure. DHF can be from very mild to very severe. I don't know where on that scale I am. I have a follow up appointment In a couple of weeks. Guess I wll learn more then.

  9. They sent me home Thursday night. I am going back
    Monday morning for a heart cath. If that doesn't find anything, which I hope it doesn't, I don' t know what is next. Maybe I'm just old and fat. Dr did stop a couple of prescriptions that were lowering my heart rate. I should know more by tomorrow afternoon.

  10. I haven't been feeling well lately but the last few days have been hell. No energy, none. Caughing, short of breath, legs swelling. I slept 12 hours last nite and I am still tired. Tried to get a Dr appointment but was going tobe a week. Finally tonight I told the wife, " take me to the hospital. Got here about 6:30 and still in the ER. Initial suspicion is congestive heart failure. WTF. Looks like I will be here all night. Lots of tests for tomorrow. I wish they would at least move me to a room with a tv. It's gonna be a long nite.

  11. I had cataract surgery about a year or two ago. I got the lenses that fixed my nearsightedness and astigmatism. My eye surgeon advised don't go near the multifocal implants so I have to wear reading glasses. Surgery was a piece of cake. As Oh shoot said the lens is destroyed with ultrasound and sucked out through a needle, then the implant is inserted through the same needle. I took the Valium they offered but didn't really need it. You can't see or feel what is going on.

    The most amazing thing to me was the change in colors. I had forgotten what white looks like
