I had a hawk fly into the side of my truck while going down I65 about 1 year ago. It was just south of the Franklin exit where those sound walls are. It was gliding and went next to the wall and just took a hard right into my truck. Scared the crap out of me.

Kind of a strange want ad for here, but we have a diverse group so thought why not throw it out there as people have all kinds of things laying around taking up space. I am looking for a project for the remainder of the winter and spring and think it would be fun to refurbish an old Seadoo or Waverunner. I have a brand new one, but this would be something just for fun since I like them with the side bonus I would have a cheap extra for a buddy to tag along with once complete.
I am looking for very cheap (like $1000 or less or maybe trade a gun of some sort for the right ski) as this is just a for fun project which it is going to cost me money most likely anyway and what I am looking for isn't really worth a lot to start with. Free is even better if you just want it out of the way. I preferably don't want to be rebuilding complete engines, etc, but also don't expect any will not need some troublesooting and something maybe like a starter, or a bit more. As with these things, cheap is key because at the end of the day you never really know what you are going to get into. Exterior condition doens't have to be perfect, but not looking for complete crap either. I expect to have to recover seats, etc.
A trailer is not required.
Looking for something like a 1998-early 2000's Seadoo GTX, GTI, RXP, XP or Waverunner 1200 (or something similar). Even newer is ok, but gets harder to keep the cost down moving up much and I know the earlier SeaDoo's a bit which is why they are top on my list.
Anyway, if someone has something laying around they just want out of the way, let me know.
Thanks.

I had a 2nd company out this morning. He actually encouraged me to tackle this myself but he's still going to provide a quote. I think I'm going to open up the ceiling that way I can try to clean out years worth of flammable lint. I can hang new sheetrock but I'm not going to attempt to mud it myself. I know it won't turn out right.
The 2nd guy agreed running flex tube(the cheap kind) the whole run is a bad idea. He's going to price it as rigid pipe most of the way.
Sounds like a decent guy as it really isn't that hard of job to be honest. I also think you could do it yourself. No better time to learn something new. Even mudding that small amount wouldn't be terrible. The sanding is the worst part.

I would personally rip out enough of my basement ceiling to do it right which means venting to the outside.
Drywall is easy to repair. It may not look like any mold, etc, but you really don't know until you can see better. Best case, there is nothing. Worst case, you can spray it while the ceiling is open and know it is good for long term.

ARA allows youth competitors.
And they have matches at the Middle TN Sporting Association not far from where you @10-Ring are. You would be looking at shooting factory class. I am head deep into ARA so if you would have any questions, just let me know. They don't start shooting matches this year until April. Eagle Eye Shooting in Mt. Pleasant is farther for you, but Mathew typically has a lot of matches planned. His start in March.
MTSA: http://www.americanrimfire.com/index.php/club/view/510
Eagle Eye: http://www.americanrimfire.com/index.php/club/view/495
A lot depends on what type of shooting you think she would like. ARA is off of a bench and more precision/accuracy oriented. NRL is going to be more interactive with different stages, distances, etc.
If it matters, ARA doesn't have youth only shoots. Everyone shoots at the same time but this hasn't ever been an issue. We have many young shooters around the country.

I would get that one. The FV-SR stock is horrible and you would want to replace it anyway. I have the FV-SR and replaced the stock with a Boyd’s. Savages are a bit rough, but they usually shoot above their price point.

Just let the guy out and publish when and where it is going to be done. Justice will happen.
-
Just sell the 80% lower and buy one already done. It will not only resolve any issues with the ATF, it will also be of better quality. It isn't like lowers are expensive.

I have to say, meat in a jar is just one of those things I will have to leave to other people to tell me how good it is

Love me the old target rifles. Have a few that are similar. Always fun to shoot.

Cutco is a MLM company that likes to take advantage of teenagers trying to get their first job. I tend to agree with FrankD about just getting a few good knives instead of a block set. Your wife may not see the logic in that though and it's probably best to just make her happy.
I won't disagree with this as far as teenagers, but I would say that the quality of their product is exceptional in my experience. It's one of the few products I would recommend a kid to peddle if they had to. My first set was bought from a family friends kid by my mom when we were in our 20's (late 40's now). She bought a set for me and my brother. We both still use them today and not because we can't afford to buy something else or are too cheap. They are just that good in my book.
-
I don' know what sets they make, but I have had Cutco steak knives for 20+ years and they cut like new to this day. I bought a second set about 5 years ago and they are just as good. I have a few other Cutco's as well and all are excellent.
For more value, it's hard to beat Rada knives. Just know the metal handles are not dishwasher safe. They do have serrated steak knives, but I also wouldn't go that route. For a bread knife yes, steak knives no.
All of that being said, my Cutco Steak knives are partially serrated and I have never had to sharpen them.

Couldn't happen to nicer group as far as I am concerned. The arrogance there was stifling.

I’m at the end of a dead end road. We get free dogs and cats dropped off.
I have 3 cats from that as well. Wanted some outside cats for the shop so I took them in when they were dropped off as kittens by some scumbag. Being the sucker I am, they are sitting on the couch next to me right now. They get along good with the dog and can be pretty funny at times. Never thought I would be a cat person, but they have grown on me.

This morning I had some jackass throw 3 chopped off buck heads on my property from the road. Called TWRA but don't expect there is a thing they can do about it now, but I also wanted it noted I called in since it was 3 bucks.
I guess I am going to have to put up some cameras along the road. I am tired of the scumbags throwing their trash out. Time to start putting them on notice.

He wants someone to put together a list of gun shows showing the next ones coming first. Team player and all being his 4th post.
As I would tell my friends, "Do it your F'n self".

These are essentially brand new. Bought my new truck, drove it home and to the Discount Tire to have new A/T tires put on. These have exactly 117 miles on them.
$xxx picked up in Chapel Hill.

Nice find, but it doesn't appear to me to be a bull barrel. The true bull barrels are almost the same diameter as the action itself. Looks to be a heavy or even possibly standard barrel, but nice none the less.

If you have room to nail you could always use a couple of straps and space them a foot or so apart. They are used all of the time for these type of ducts.
