Or highjack one of the full cauldron's that drive across town. It'd take a LOT of metal. And a backhoe to dig it up.

B&H Used stuff, buy with confidence... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse/Digital-Photography/ci/6387/N/4294246666 I'm preferential toward Canon, but Nikon makes good stuff too. edit... the typical DSLR "kits" that are sold by the big box stores give you a good, entry level camera body, a crappy lens, and some accessories you may or may not have any use for. For similar money, you can typically piece together a basic kit with higher quality lenses. With lenses, you get what you pay for. Some folks are able to do amazing things with cheap lenses, but as with rifle scopes, quality optics aren't cheap.

Look up sand casting and "lost wax" or "lost foam" casting. Been around for ages. Note that this casting the ant hill thing only works in dry, sandy soils. If you tried it in east TN wet clay, you'd have a mess.

Something hot.

Cool stuff! I've toured this place... they make some neat stuff. http://www.3ders.org/articles/20120809-3d-printed-lightweight-robotic-hand-wins-2012-RD-100.html

Prices will never go down. They're selling all they can make at the current prices. Unless demand drops dramatically, there's no reason for the price to go anywhere but up. But that's all ammo, not any specific caliber. Surplus (Wolf, etc.) supply should be around for a long time, barring import restrictions as you mentioned.

If you believe what's stamped on the blade of a gas station pocket knife, I've got a couple you might be interested in. :)

I was born near Charleston. I learned about them pretty early in life. Then I learned about them again a little later. Then again sometime after that. Then we moved.

Right, but being the cheap bastard that I am, I wonder whether all that snooty lipstick has any real value. :) It'd be interesting to take a fancy shmacy knife and a gas station knife and cut them up and do metallurgical analysis of the steel.

He beat you by 8 minutes... http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/73510-lamars-chief-of-staff-accused-of-child-porn/ edit... dang it, this one by 10 minutes... http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/73509-lamar-alexanders-chief-of-staff-under-investigation/

I didn't intend to throw barbs, just wasn't sure the gravity of the offer on the table was being grasped. I've carried the same leatherman for at least 7-8 years and have gone through a few cheap folders. Honestly, I'd like to play with a few of these $100+ pocket knives just to decide for myself if they're worth it.

Wish I had enough to fill up a 40mm can...

While ZT knives are cool, me thinks some of you guys are missing something....

If it's stored indoors in a controlled environment, probably. If left open in a garage or musty basement, maybe for a while but not for 50 years. And yes, I'm sure a lot of us overdo our storage techniques for various reasons.... Security from kids or anyone else is likely the primary reason, followed closely by a mild case of OCD.

KY is generally more carry friendly than TN. http://handgunlaw.us

Come watch 'em with my kids... While I'll admit they're good movies as are most of the Disney or Pixar flicks, they get old.

I picked up one of these with some left-over birthday money based on a reviews here a while back... http://www.homedepot.com/p/Defiant-ArmorMax-3D-Tactical-Flashlight-809-3731-D/203657321#.UqcOyCdqN8E It's darn impressive. Blows my incandescent 3D Maglite out of the water.

A former coworker started carrying a handgun while bow hunting after an unpleasant run-in with a pack of coyotes. He's got a permit and said the game wardens have never questioned it. As for camping... Say it's a 10 mile hike to get to your hunting/fishing spot. You backpack in and camp for a few days while hunting/fishing. That sounds like a time when carrying a long gun is incident to camping.

Mostly in boxes, some loose in various milsurp and plastic ammo cans spread out around the closet. As well all know, ammo is heavy. Be wary of concentrating too much weight in one spot. Typical residential (non slab) construction flooring is designed for a 40 lb/sqft static load.

The red light on most head lamps is intended for looking for something in your tent at 3am, its really not meant for walking through the woods. You'd be better off finding a red lens/filter for a real flashlight. That said, Petzl, Princeton, etc... all good lights.

We've gotten Omaha steaks before. While they were good, I didn't think they were anything special and not worth the premium. While it's been offered several times, I'd never buy meat from a random guy with a freezer in the bed of his pickup. Best beef I ever had was local. I'm on a waiting list to get a beef from a coworker who raises cattle.

You're missing something important.... She just gave you an excuse to buy another XD. :)

I'm sure the laws are written to protect the utility and they ROW, but I'd still do my homework and read all I could find on the topic. While they do have ROW, simply doing maintenance work shouldn't devalue your property. Before/after photos might go a long way toward illustrating your point.
