Well, it seems we have a small infestation of preppers. I always thought they liked to operate in the shadows and avoid attention - but these *idiots* blundered into the input of a 250-mi range repeater system. Wow.
How to avoid attention - 1. get a ham radio call-sign, 2. stay out of system inputs.
Y'all preppys out there might want to figure that out.
* - no, preppers in general are not idiots. Just the ones I am speaking of. Turns out even it they are illegal, dumb as rock, and broadcasting over 1/3 of Tennessee, Kentucky, and North Carolina - their fellow brethren who are licensed/legal in ham radio do not like for them to be called idiots. (and certainly let me know today, a few dozen times on a radio forum)

Hard to get a sense of how fast they're going, looks like maybe 40 or so. It's obvious the bikes are loafing along, bored enough to pull over and wait for the traffic to clear, I've gone faster than 40 downhill on a bicycle and have been held up by cars poking along. After riding all the way up that hill, I'd darn sure want to have some fun on the way down.
The speedometer on the motorcycle said 48 when the rider looked to check. To pass, that bike was doing ~55

I get that too on my Samsung 10.1 Note tablet using Android. Just started recently.

I drove up about 20 times last year, and lived there for ~ 6 mo during the time. Carry plenty of change for the ****ing toll-booths. And - figure out the I-Pass website because even if you don't blow one... they will invariably have the booth closed. Just grab one of the paper info-slips that has the booth # (next to the "change catcher").
Carry a pistol safe / lock-box in order to move the (unloaded) gun from the car to the hotel.
For the record...there is no decent way to travel by car from TN to Chicago. Every single route sucks, and they vary by the day in suckability. First time in, I would suggest I-65 to I-80, then slip in behind a big truck and stay there. Least traffic - 3am - 4am. If you can use I-355, it is worth the $.
For the record, I cannot remember losing a thing in IL that I need to go retrieve.

OK then. I seem to have warped in time back to 6th grade. Are we going to continue on in juvenile sexual innuendo to maybe say gun barrels & wood decks?
I see my block list growing.

KnoxRag reported that Knoxville had ~100 protesters on downtown Gay Street today - defacto supporting the Dallas shooting...

Sam ain't a sports writer in that conventional sense. He's long time general interest writer about TN life and lore, has a number of books etc.
Matter of fact, he's a quite popular guy, a down-home good ole boy traditional values type, hunter and fisherman. Started out many years ago as outdoor editor, then gradually transitioned into general feature/humor columnist. I'm surprised to see this particular opinion come from him.

This is at least the second, if not the third time Sam has opined in this orientation. Sad. I loved his wit since childhood.....before he decided to politik.

Get the rubberized cork gasket sheet stock from O'Reilleys auto parts. Then chamfer a 38 brass to sharp edge. Tap base with mallet to cut. Do 3 or 4 and then push out of case using a bamboo skewer stick through primer hole.OK, I'd love to get in on the fun. Where do I get the 38 cal cardstock wads?

It's a tough lesson, but any round that you do not have complete and absolute confidence - pull it apart.
I have learned the hard way also.
You will be fine.
Just refine your process.

Do you use the Geissele reaction rod for barrel install/removal too? Or just hand guards and muzzle devices?
Was buying today on amazon but the Internet abounds with warnings about not using for barrel work. Im assembling an odd shaped side charger and the reaction rod seems my best bet. Thanks for any info.
Edit- I've already ruled out the brownells version.I've used it for everything and haven't had any ill side affects.
I have lots of faith in Bill Geissele as an engineer. I own 5 of his triggers. But, holding the barrel in that fashion scares me a little. Mainly, if you break a tooth on the barrel extension, you have big problems.
Either of you guys - I listen to, and value opinion.
Now - my question - if the forces of a bolt slamming to & fro don't damage an extension, can Bert's puny efforts succeed?

Brothers and Sisters,
If you aren't going armed to church yet, you might want to start doing so...and keep an extra eye on any churches in your jurisdictions while you and/or your people are on duty. Nut jobs and terrorists are increasingly interested and motivated in targeting our churches (and schools) to make their "statements".
...Be alert and be safe!

Subject: ****Bolo for all Churches****To all,
From Johnathan Parker:
I received a call from the Pastors at Metro Tabernacle (2101 W Shepherd Rd 37421; corner of Hwy 153/Shepherd Rd) where we also hold Cop Church services. At their worship service tonight 1900-2000hrs, a suspicious male (photo) came into the church and was overheard talking on the phone in the lobby. He is reported as saying he was "checking out security and seeing what we're up against." He was also observed counting fire exits.
When confronted by church security personnel, he made statements about evil, the prophets, and other "super spiritual" statements. He was observed leaving in the pictured white 2000 Chevy 4D sedan with VA tag VGU3498.

I am not saying this guy isn't insane or that he should have carried an AR into the church; but Bellevue Baptist is a very large congregation that would make a prime target for a terror attack, especially on Easter Sunday. I can understand why he might be a little wary.
Sent from my XT1254 using TapatalkBellevue is large, but several churches in Knoxville & Nashville are about the same in attendance (~5000 - 7000 avg weekly). The large one I attend would watch carefully, but unless provoked, not invoke the Sherriff's officers on scene (who are contracted to provide off-duty uniformed security via local SD).
I have noted a OC, and the occasional "peek-a-boo viewing", and -
I would not be surprised at all to learn of several folder-rifles & AR/or AK pistols in backpacks in attendance during our services.
Hopefully, as several have noted, the detention was far more than just the carry aspect.

We use the standard SPOT & subscription for my dad when he is afield. We set it to 10 minute reporting, and it is very good.

Preppers and Ham Radio Repeaters
in General Chat

nah. Just broadcasting themselves over ~20,000 square miles. They *do* apparently lack a license to operate there, and annoy the **** out of the thousand or so other system users.
They can get a license very easily. Info found at http://www.arrl.org/exam_sessions/search
