  1. I go there, our insurance pays for it all. Lucky in that respect I suppose. I was falling asleep everywhere, watching TV, working, sitting at stoplights, even in slow moving traffic on the interstate. I still have issues but nobody on I24 has to worry now. Yeah it is a pain but you get used to it, I can't fall asleep without it at night. Wife says she doesn't sleep as well when the machine isn't on. With all of my other health issues, yes, it is definitely worth it. I had my study done in their facility, very clean, nice room with a nice bed. They do a lot to make it not look like a medical facility. Wife says I still snore but the doc says it's probably my mask leaking because I don't stop breathing and I do have leaks at times.
  2. His advice might be unnecessary in TN. 2 suspects still on the loose in deadly Harrison home invasion (msn.com) But as I have been trained, shoot to stop the anti-social behavior. Center of mass.
  3. Quite a valid point. FIx it and sue the at fault. Should be a slam dunk with the history of that ship. My thinking is the fed dollars will never be returned, prices will increase due to using other ports, the shippers and ports will make a profitt and any money recouped from the ship owners will be diverted to the companies who take a "loss" over the whole mess. In essence, we will pay twice to rebuild. Also, I'm totally untrusting of anything coming out of Joe's mouth.
  4. I stand corrected,,,partially. (open mouth, remove foot) I know it will impact shipping and commerce, still not my tax dollar responsibility. Increased costs by the affected goods would cover it just like during the pandemic when everyone was getting fed dollars. Still the ship owner's responsibility though Maritime laws differ from US or International law.
  5. Jaw dropping. I remember when the old Jefferson St bridge in Nashville was demolished. It was a big thing, televised event. We all watched in anticipation until the charges blew. and waited,,,and waited. Nothing happened to that unsafe for use bridge. So they did it again the next day and, nothing happened. Took demo experts three attempts to bring down an "unsafe" bridge. One freighter took down Key bridge in seconds. Second, why does the clown in chief think it's MY tax dollars that are needed to rebuild? Baltimore, the state of Maryland, and the shipping company's insurance companies need to take care of this bridge I've never crossed or even seen in a state hundreds of miles from me and not on a federal interstate highway. Don't tell me the repercussions of this port being closed, NOT MY PROBLEM.
  6. Wise choosing to have pros do it. I'm in process of putting in about 300 feet of field fence on t posts to keep my dogs in. Not as simple as it would seem. Gates will come later as I can use the woven wire as a flex gate to get the mower through. I have an AKC Great Dane and a shelter rescue half Dane. Shock collars only work until they decide to do whatever it is they are going to do. And they have. I would not trust the underground fence. However, if your pup would respect the collar I would recommend the sat collar. No wire whatsoever and tracking feature. You can set the boundaries anywhere so it would travel with you wherever you went. And NO UNDERGROUND WIRE
  7. The Mustang appears to be a 1970 model. Could be a 69 but no earlier. So 70's is best guess.
  8. My wife said if you come to walking horse country, leave the truck at home. for me, wish I had my 1980's vintage MAC in drive air ratchet back. that thing was a,,,well ti was too small for a hoss but it was great. I bought a lot of MAC back then. They are high quality stuff. As the aforementioned air ratchet, it was smaller than everyone else's and had more torque. My boss was impressed also as it out hossed his Snap-On.
  9. Older sisters maybe. Check the median age on here. there's a topic on here somewhere regarding that. With some of y'all, it'd be wives.
  10. that's scary stuff. God bless. I'm right with y'all having multiple surgeries, not fun at all. The only upside is my family gets lots of laughs while I'm medicated. yeah, the plates and screws know when the weather is turning bad.
  11. hello. right around the corner here outside Shelbyville. welcome aboard.
  12. Welcome, and damn, another E Tennessean? They have all the good deals over there.
  13. Welcome. Hope you enjoy it here.
  14. Everything I own has been fired. I have two new-to-me that I have yet to get to the range, but they've been shot. Some guys are collectors of history or art when it comes to guns, no desire to shoot them. I believe it. Just like the reference to collector cars, some are bought for investment. If you bought a rare gold coin would you carry it in your pocket? As far as believing what is posted, I trust but verify. None of my dealings with TGO members gives me reason to distrust. If you don't trust the seller or believe the worth of the item, just move on. @Tom B damn, shoot that thang! I'd love to get hold of a 97B! Had an EAA witness .45 years back, loved it and think the CZ might be better. My one exception might be a vintage royal blue python, those are just SO pretty. But I don't have vintage Python money so the glass front velvet lined case will just be for someone else.
  15. I do have to plug in the light on my nightstand pistol occasionally
  16. I'm a bit of both. I still have an officer's size steel .45 in rotation. I Still use my P32 for pocket carry. I do have a Kimber Micro9 but that's not a new design. OH! I do have a striker fired polymer framed 45 but it probably will never be an EDC since I hate the trigger. truth is, I don't care for the new designs.
  17. Just ran across this on marketplace. would fit this role well. Marketplace - Auto Assist Handles | Facebook
  18. tire billy's and hitch ball wrenches have a good heft and length. I have had worn down camshafts and large pipe wrenches at times. As long as it is something I would normally have use for I feel fine. Though I do not keep anything in the car now. Rather not have someone that close to me.
  19. I applaud your efforts. We all need to push our reps to take care of our children when they aren't in parental reach. I'm happy that mine are all grown, the stress now is too much for me.
  20. When the grandkids come, I lock all but my EDC up. Otherwise there are loaded pistols all over the house, one on my nightstand, one in the master bath, one in my office. Mossberg in the bedroom closet, AR in the display cabinet with full mag next to it. As I get diversion stashes there will be more. John Wick? Nope, I'm not that quick! I like the magnetic lock shelves and boxes. I looked at concealment furniture but it is quite pricy. I met a couple from KY who make concealment frames at the last gun show I attended. I plan to have one made for a painting one of my daughters did for us. BTW plans are available on ETSY for any of you woodworkers or cabinet makers. (hint hint) I have a cousin who used to live in a cabin out in the woods. He kept a 38 snub on a nail above the front door. Until we moved here, the Mossberg was on rubber coated hooks inside the closet over the top of the door. No one casually looking in there would ever see it. A pistol magnet on the back of the headboard is good too. If there are kids in the house, firearms MUST be secured. My children were all taught well and knew not to touch but there's one in every crowd. I count my blessings and keep the lingerie chest with a hole in the drawer front as a reminder of that. The "one" was quite good at defeating pass locks on doors, climbing, slipping into places and things. I was fortunate, no one was hurt, be vigilant and anal about securing arms around children. After the chest incident, everything was locked in gun storage except my EDC which was always within arms reach. I could tell more of "the One" getting into locked storage but no reason. Suffice it to say I had to step up security several times.
  21. Dammitall! I started looking again today,,,have to put my mind to saving again. Have y'all seen the Taylor's & Co. takedown in 45-70? Case colored receiver, peep sights, carbine length, threaded oh my!

    To be fair, I understand their wanting to make sure I have what I say I have but I offered to send a picture and explained it was a used import. just send what I asked for. Stupid people have ruined life for the rest of us.
