  1. David - I'll echo others. Many thanks for your time and effort to order and ship these. Love mine as it maintained ice for several hours locked in my truck when it was 90+ outside. The 30 oz. easily fits in my cup holder. I read a Yeti vs. RTIC comparison online and the test results were essentially identical. RTIC is half the price, however.

  2. So I had some friends visit last week as I posted above. On the way they stopped at Woodford Reserve and took a tour, and brought me a gift. This is only sold at the distillery.

    It's smooth and sweet on the front with that traditional Woodford oak and spice in the aftertaste. Very good on my opinion.


    I did the Bourbon Trail last fall and picked up a bottle of same.... Can attest to its smoothness and taste. An excellent product.

  3. If I never got on another plane again in my life I'd be happy. Been flying since 1978 and down to about 100 flights a year the past two years, 98% on Southwest. So happy it is all domestic now.

     

    I agree with all that Hozzie is saying. I also sit on an the aisle and my favorite peeve is those who have bags/backpacks on and then turn and the bag/pack comes towards my head/face. I just grab and stop it and politely ask them to turn the other way.  Thank God for Pre-check. TSA should have done that 10 years ago.

     

    My wife says that all the people who used to take the bus are now flying.... I shudder to think about taking a bus anywhere.

  4. You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation. You see they found he owned 100 guns and had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel. So, by Southern California standards, someone owning 100,000 rounds is considered "mentally unstable."

    In Michigan, he'd be called "The last white guy still living in Detroit."

    In Arizona, he'd be called "an avid gun collector."

    In Arkansas, he'd be called "a novice gun collector."

    In Utah, he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but they'd probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity of stored food."

    In Kansas, he'd be "A guy down the road you would want to have for a friend."

    In Montana, he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy."

    In Idaho, he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate."

    In Georgia, he'd be called "an eligible bachelor."

    In North Carolina, Virginia, W.Va., Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida and South Carolina he would be called "a deer hunting buddy."


    And here in Texas; he'd just be "Bubba, who's a little short on ammo."

  5. Prayers for your speedy recovery. As someone who has also suffered and been treated for a life threating
    condition in a 3rd world country I know you have thought of this but I strongly recommend you get all your medical records prior to returning home, especially xrays, treatment specifics, etc. They will come in
    handy for future care, insurance and the like.

    All the best.
  6. Prayers for your father's recovery and for your entire family. A good friend was diagnosed with stage four throat cancer five years ago. He is in full remission now so such things can be beaten. Sincerely praying that all this works out for you.

  7. I had an A.R.E. on a previous truck for about six years and it was of good quality (paint, fit, hinge and locking hardware, etc.) They look and function great but are limited in what you can put in the bed because of the hinged one-piece design.

     

    My current truck has a Rugged Cover and I've had no problems for the past four. It folds flat behind the back window when open. It hasn't leaked, wears well and, when properly installed (one person, no tools), is quite secure to the bed. I have a bed liner also and Rugged Cover provides hardware custom to the brand of truck. For the money it was worked well for me (I wanna say it was about $365 but don't hold me to that). Bought it in Tullahoma at the Line-X place at intersection of Carroll St. and Anderson St.

     

    Good luck.

  8. Just got back from the movie and it was fantastic, they did a great job of keeping this in line with a docudrama and not much added for cinematic value.  Would put it in the same class as Schindler's List, except without the mass execution part.
     
    P.S. Zamperini was a BMF



    I also saw the movie yesterday but had a different view. In short, this film is unremarkable and I went in spite of the reviews that generally were very critical. If you read the book you will be quite disappointed. The writing, acting, directing were all weak IMO. There is no depth to his relationships with his family and others especially Phil, the pilot of his downed plane and fellow survivor. About 80% of the film covers his time in the life raft and prison camps. For sure these were important milestones in Zamperini's life but the movie simply doesn't do justice to him. Admittedly, adapting great stories from book to screen is difficult and this one doesn't come close.
