  1. I haven't been on the air in a while but the 146.91 repeater has a large footprint.  Its on Short Mountain just east of Woodbury TN.  They have a hamfest every year at the Cedars of Lebanon State Park I think the last of August.  In years past I know there was a hamfest that occurred in Gladeville not far from the Speedway on I840 too.  Chattanooga has a bigger one, Cave City KY has one that I've never been to but have heard about.  Get a card in the mail for one in Birmingham.  Dayton OH is a HUGE one every year, it all depends on how far you wanna go.  Come to think of it, I don't ever really remember Nashville having much of one at all, at least that I've never heard of.  Maybe they do and I just don't know about it.   Currently, I have a Rohn 45 tower that I need to put up and a Mosley Pro 57 to put on top of it.  Need to find a rotor shelf and thrust bearing with the plate for that, along with control cable, mast pipe, etc.   For a base, I was running an Alinco DX-70 on the switching power supply they make through a Heathkit SB-220 out to a Gap Titan antenna until I mowed the coax in half, haven't fixed that yet.  I tried mobile work with a Yaesu FT-897 rig in the pickup truck but had too much RF noise and it messed with the transmission while truck was moving so I quit that.   Long story short, there are ham operators on here, even Mr. TGO David is one.  Hopefully you will find what you seek.
  2. Does the front sight appear in the scope? That would bug me.
  3. Now if they would create a driving test concerning left lane usage and acceleration lane (on ramp) procedures, they would have something.....
  4. Yes, Walmart does have them for $129 but you must sign a new 2 year contract.  I laid eyes on the display yesterday and the price should be good to the end of January.   To keep your current plan, you would have to pay full price for the phone, which is over $600 and then you can activate it yourself via your account online.   Thanks for all the info provided.
  5. Verizon is about the only service that works where I live so I'd like to stick with them.  Have an Iphone 4 that is becoming obsolete.  Anybody know of any good deals on Verizon Iphone 6.  Not the plus, too big for me.
  6. Wow, not one but two back, that's great.  I'm still holding out hope for my Colt that was stolen in Atlanta back in 2010.
  7. I was thinking this was going to be a rant against flat head screws.  I was gonna join in..... rats
  8. Hey, I learned something today, there you go.  Now you can watch it.  Now I must go lay down and rest from learning.... lol
  9. All of this goes back to the decline in parenting skills.  My parents would not have wasted any time in correcting and punishing for foul language, and did.  I had my mouth washed out with soap and i learned right quick to not do that again.    Parents are not parents anymore, there enablers and buddies rather than parents.  It will only get worse as each generation continues down that path and expands on it.   I know this is contrary to popular standards today but when we did away with spankings and taking responsibility, you could see this coming.  I did spank my children, and they learned at an early age that when I set a rule or boundry, they knew it was so, no questions about it.  If you stay steady and consistent with them as far as discipline and your rules, you will find that once they figure out your serious and will punish them, the amount of times you have to punish them will drastically be reduced.
  10. Yes, its called Volkswagen - Eyes on the road.  I would have put it up here where you could watch it here but I don't know how.  Sorry.
  11. Patrons to this theater were told to leave their cell phones ON in the theater.   [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHixeIr_6BM[/media]
  12. This thread is not an official thread and cannot be answered until it has the "..................jmho" somewhere in it.
  13. Never mind the tag, I just wish they would crack down on all the trailers running around with no lights on them.  Some just don't work but others are obviously not lit as the lights are beat all to heck and are missing.  See way to many of them.
  14. Just out of curiosity, how much should the bucket o' bullets go for?  I've never seen one of those and don't know.   Both above flagged for the fun of it and to fit in here...  :)
  15.       "Who is this "somebody"?  That's the million dollar question.  Definitely not the government as they already have an effort in place, called the Dept. of Children's Services.  See recent news stories from Nashville about the riot and subsequent escape from Woodland Hills as to the governments success.  I would suspect that the youth in the videos perpetrating the attack all have juvenile records and are repeat offenders in the juvenile court.   "What about personal responsibility, moral values, compassion, respect?"  Yes, these are the main subjects I was aiming at when I said "unless they are taught different".  Not to bring religion into this for opening another can of worms but I think the departure of society from Biblical principles, which cover all of what you list and more, is one main factor in why that is not taught in the home as it should.  How do we introduce that back into the homes, I wish I knew.    I hate to think of what society is going to look like for my children and grandchildren.
  16. This is a never ending cycle until somebody changes the in-home relationship and ideals of the parents to their children.  Parents who are the dregs of society will more than likely have children who will be the same unless they are taught different.
  17. If your really into long mileage oil changes, read up on adding a bypass filter system + a good synthetic + oil sample testing, you'd be surprised how far you can go without changing the oil.
  18.   I agree.  Most of the time I don't need help.  When I do its only help with finding it in the store, then I just want them to point or tell me.  I hate when I have to follow them and then go into telling them the story of "what are you using this for".
  19.       I humbly stand corrected and defer to your expertise.
  20.   That's actually a decent price.  By the time you factor in tax, time, and fuel to go get this from the store, I don't think you could do better than this by much if any.
  21. Just out of curiosity and because I don't know, what do the tests consist of?  Putting stuff together with gloves on?   Congrats on passing, hope you make it in.
  22. If you have exchanged money for services/goods on ebay, you should be able to see his address in the order details page.
  23. I would suspect there is some lag in the system, ie big stack of paper work that takes a few days to go through, then a few more to get them entered etc.  That's why your original ticket hasn't shown up yet.  I wouldn't let this ruin your weekend.  They won't have an all points bulletin out for you so don't be paranoid.  Drive correctly and lawfully so as that they won't look at you and you'll be ok.   I would call Monday and talk to them and they will tell you what to do.  I would hazard a guess that this is sort of a common issue.  You won't be the first or the last to do this.
