  1. Metal needs to start a "How to publically apologize on a web forum for poor customer service" training manual. That's how it's done. Precision should get a complimentary signed 1st edition.
  2. Put it in an even bigger box.
  3. What's a backpack filter? <<n00b question, I know>>
  4. I think Season 1 was better than Season 2. They built more stuff in 1, but had to roam around more in 2 which added something. All in all, Season 2 seemed too much like sitting around waiting for help/end of the experiement to arrive.
  5. I went looking for the answer to that and found this NASA site telling how they photograph from space. It's far more complex than I thought. They also say that if the lights are mercury vapor, the cities will appear blue-green, while sodium vapor will yield yellow-orange. NASA - Cities at Night: An Orbital Perspective
  6. I've always thought of asteroids as gray or brown, maybe even black, but never rouge.
  7. It is indeed the Pakistan/India border. The ISS is facing more or less eastward and is over southwestern Pakistan or southern Afghanistan looking towards India. It glows because both sides light it up so they can keep an eye on the other guys. The bright blob on the right is Karachi on the coast to the south. The bright yellow glob on the left on the near side of the border but right up close to it is Lahore. The spot 45 degrees up and right of Lahore on the India side is probably New Delhi. The lights on the Pakistan side follow the Indus river.
  8. If you're not in a hurry, keep an eye out on Craigslist. I use www.searchtempest.com to search it. I found a great deal on a high quality safe. I was looking for about 3 months before the item I was looking for was posted, but that's because I was being very picky about a couple of brands.
  9. Who is the course offered through? It sounds interesting.
  10. But in TN it is not a Fourth issue with firearms. It is a crime to be armed in public, so a LEO has a valid reason to require an HCP to be produced upon seeing a person with a firearm.
  11. I hired these guys to protect the donuts in the break room at work one time. Don't count me as a satisfied customer.
  12. It's a sad year when the AFC South looks as bad or worse than the NFC West.
  13. CHMR (AKA Charlie's Place, AKA Owl Hollow) is just outside of Spring Hill. It's about 10 minutes away from the 840/I-65 interchange. If you're on the north or west side of Murfreesboro, then it may be closer than Walden's.CHMR $40 for an annual membership then you can shoot all day every day that it's open. Closed Thursdays and the first full weekend of a month. It has a handgun area and rifle targets spaced at 25, 50, and 100 yrds. There are a couple of spring-loaded clay throwers for shotgunning and the last I heard a 200yrd range was in the works.
  14. I've gotten lots of good advice on repairs for various cars over on Automotive Forums. Here's the Sequoia forum: Sequoia - Automotive Forums .com Car Chat Glance through the first few pages. If you see the same issue in the thread titles repeatedly, consider that a common problem and decide if it's a big one or not to you. Something silly like "windshield washer hose clogged" or the like wouldn't keep me from buying a model, but a lot of transmission issues would. ETA: I read through some of the Sequoia posts. I saw nothing that concerned me. The common question is how to program the remote garage door openers. It's not a very active forum, which could mean 2 things. there aren't many problems, or people who own a Sequoia don't do their own maintenance. The Jaguar forum is a good example of this. Very few threads relative to other brands, even for their smaller sales volume.
  15. The Nashville Banner was one of the last good newspapers in the state. It has been gone for years now. The Tennessean is owned by Gannet, the people who bring you the hard hitting news of USA Today read by weary travelers in Hampton Inns across the country.
  16. Clerk kills would-be robber who grabbed daughter - Yahoo! News
  17. It was today. Big +1 to piercedan and Mrs. piercedan for coordinating the food. Good choice. It's always good to meet TGOers and put faces to names. I had a great time and was able to break in 3 brand new shooters today. I think they're hooked. A big thanks to Wildogre for helping with that on the fly.
  18. I don't know about packaging of the DVDs, but yes, Season 1 did have a little girl Zombie that had to be put down. Episode 1.
  19. Pretty much whatever you want. The target boards are 4'x8' sheets of plywood/OSB. There's a painted 6" border that you need to keep off of, but pretty much if it fits on the board, you can shoot it. You can also place clay pigeons on the berms to have a reactive target. Just keep them low on the berms. Wal-Mart and Academy have cases of them for pretty cheap. No targets, ammo, or other supplies are sold at the range, so bring what you need.
