Prayers for her and the rest of the facility.

I think boys and firecracker demolitions was a rite of passage for most of older guys. lol I've done my share of blowing up models with them as well. Used to like weighting the nose down with modeling clay, so it would look like flying when I tied a string to it and twirled it around. Then of course had to put the firecrackers or the occasional M80 on them. Remember the old wooden gliders we used to get for a nickel and then a dime? Center the M80 them and launch them off into oblivion. lol Then there's the story I've told before...mudball hand grenades and firecrackers stuck into them. Ah...those were the days of our youth. Wish we could all go back there for a while.

Just thought I'd offer. Guess they go to yard sale.

I have told the caller that I won't donate until Big Daddy Wayne and his high priced suit collection is gone. That doesn't even get a response.

How about a ten foot Checzk?

Cleaning our garage and found a new ice tray for older model GE Refridgerator. It's Item #WR30X10016 Was a 57 buck part. Crazy. Invoice says I ordered this in 2010, so it is an older model fridge unit. Plastic tray only. Also have 2unused water filters for this model. It says Filter for GE Model MWF. Home Depot HDX and FMG-1 on the label. Free to anyone who needs them in the East Nashville area, or willing to pick up in that area.

Try searching for it on FaceBook. I managed to find it there this morning. Also on Utube.

I did not need to hear this. I have owned many Taurus pistols, still have quite a few as well. When the lawsuits were spinning around, I bought a few more dirt cheap. I only have one G2 model though, an OSS 24/7 in 9mm. Great pistol. Now...do I really NEED a G3? Yeah, I think I do.

If you're not wiping tears after watching this...well, I'm sorry for you.

Hahmmmm. I'm not sure if I knew that or not. Sounds familiar, but who knows. We all look at and see so very much it's hard to keep sellers straight. At least for me these days.
-
I do agree about E-Bay deals. I did have some knowledge of this seller, and checked him out again before my orders. But...you never can tell. lol I do get guarantees from seller and E-bay for product and my satisfaction. I have used E-bay's dispute resolution twice now, and have gotten satisfaction both times. Oh...I am on the OP mailing list. I get far more from them than I care for at times. lol Almost, but not quite, as bad as D'Vor. They drive me crazy with their mailings.

I did check their stock before ordering. 2 items were on backorder with a 5-7 month wait list. Those in stock, even with the 15% discount, I got slightly better prices on E-Bay. Not saying OpticsPlanet isn't good. I actually checked them first, as I have bought there before. But in this instance, waiting and about a 20 buck savings, even with taxes, I came out ahead and have the products without the wait.

Same where I grew up, and it wasn't even very rural in parts of Middle Tn. Of course there was a lot of farming and many wooded areas to hunt and fish in. But I was never afraid of seeing a rifle or a shotgun hanging in the rear cab window of a truck. It was so normal that not having one there was out of place. The only second looks they got was when a new(er) one appeared.

I got my Holosun507c today. It looks great! Now waiting on the magnifier for the 510 and I can do some assembly. lol I'd like to get another set of all three, but not quite got enough left in the toy fun for it. Maybe in the next few days. Got a few lines in the water for some sales\, and I hope to put it into more equipment.

It'll cost ya!!! Amazon and Ebay. Many suppliers say down to 1s and 2s of certain items.

Not having a lot of Red dot/RMR experience, I can't say a great deal intelligently on this forthcoming debate/debacle. But having looked at/thru some of them over the last month or so...I came to the conclusion that the Holosun products were where I was going with my purchase. I have, in the last 7 days ordered 3 Holosun products. An HE510c GR-V2, an HE507c GR-V2, and the HM 3X magnifier. Now for full disclosure, I did order the 510c by mistake. In all the looking, I thought it was the pistol use model. Since it was scheduled for delivery next day, it was too late to cancel. After this was pointed out to me, I ordered the 507c. I was deliberating on whether to keep it or send it back. Well, thanks to a little trigger time with Cojo87, and the use of several of his Holosun equipped firearms; I feel very comfortable with my purchases. I'm keeping the 510 for an AR, or maybe a Scorpion mount. That's yet to be determined. And since I'm going to keep the 510c, I ordered the HM 3X to go along with it. For me, I found the magnifier to be an absolute joy to use. It helped me see much better, and seemed to remove what little flare I saw from the sight on a DAMN fine rifle of Cojo's that I got to shoot. But that's another story. Clarity was fantastic with it, not like a few budget magnifiers I have seen. So, "infringement" or just glorified copy of another manufacturer's product...I made the choice that was right for me. Using the standard of economic feasibility( what I could afford) and what I liked...Holosun was for me. After reading the comments on the above linked article, I haven't changed my mind. The back and forth over who actually owns Holosun, and where it's roots lie got to be sort of fun to read though.

Wow. This looks far worse than the previous photos have shown. Evidently the storage was right on the docks. Right in front of the ship in the photo. Wonder if it was damaged and or capsized? Hard to tell thru the smoke, but from the surrounding damage, it would seem likely, at least that's my guess.

Had our first visitors about 2 weeks ago. I know, seems late, but maybe I haven't been seeing them. Anyway, 2 feeders on the front porch. If we go out and sit, even talking or using phones, they flit around both feeders as if deciding which is tastier. lol Love watching them. Reminds me, I need to change the food out tomorrow. Or feeders get a lot of sun and heat from the brickwork. They seem to do better if I change about every 2nd to 3rd day.

Early report on FB this morning said the warehouse was located on the waterfront. So maybe underground storage? In any event, it was a humdinger of a blast. I've been watching videos of different angles all day. It just looks horrific.

Because I'm a trogledyte that can't post picks. lol I will open some boxes and check contents for actual information. Sorry, it's just been a bit of a tizzy here and this old, fat man is running really slow these days.

Hello, I'm trying to gauge whether anyone would have interest in a lot of books, mostly Time/Life editions, on History of World War ll. My late brother-in-law was a history buff, and among others, gathered a lot of books on WWll. If there's anyone interested enough to think about buying some...cheap. Let me know and I'll go thru them and list by title and edition. Sorry to be lazy about it, but there are so many I'd like to know before doing this.
-
Bend over? Surely you jest! I can...but I don't if at all possible. I'll have my back in so much pain that I'll be on the heat/cold routine for days afterwards. I wish I'd done more of everything when I could have.

That's gorgeous!

Yes, the human body is a marvelous thing, but it's also a maze of parts that react differently to our environment and our foods. From person to person, sometimes it just doesn't like certain things. Be careful and be safe my friend.

Sad for you. Onions in tuna salad, chicken salad, on burgers. in baked beans, pinto beans, white, beans, and oh so many others. And I big thick slice on a baloney sandwich with lots of mustard!
