I was posting in the other one but count me in and good afternoon.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/13/11 10:30 PM

The last chat went the way of the others. Just a bit earlier than the others. It was taking 7 posts to get it to flip the page. Its just an odd thing that happens sometimes when a thread gets larger.

What mechanical mag loaders do you guys use if any, I have never used one before but with the acquisition of a few new hi cap Glocks i think the purchase of one may be a relief for my thumbs.

I'm not sure how the numbers break down, but incident report numbers stopped last year at around 4200, and we are at 4900 and counting now. That includes arrests too.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/14/11 02:16 AM

I did pick up a glock 17 with night sights Sunday so i think i am going to sell the 34 i bought a few weeks ago , the 17 fits in my 36 holster just fine so that will give me another carry option.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/14/11 02:18 AM

I hated Glocks for a long time. Still love my Sigs. But for an EDC pistol, I love my G19.
Posted By: Marshall

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/14/11 02:23 AM

I like my 36 and kimber they have been my main carry guns but with all the new protection loads for the nine mm i think i will start using it for when i do the shows still having the 36 for back up.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/14/11 10:24 AM

The radios and this computer are about 7 ft apart so it makes it kind of aqward. Besides that we have to write everything down, roll back to this computer, input everything into the statewide database, copy it to the legal pad, roll back up to the radios and read the info to the officers.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/14/11 11:28 AM

Yeah it can be locked, but it's just a glass door with chidcken wire running through it. NO security!

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/14/11 11:30 AM

The front door is about 6 feet, maybe 7 from the window in dispatch. IT is just a plain tempered glass sliding window. The PRIMARY dispatch position is about 2-3 feet from the tempered glass.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/15/11 05:25 AM

oh and didn't get around to mentioning it it the .22lr thread but I picked up a used Benjamin Discovery in .22 for cheap. Haven't shot it very far but man these things hit hard for an airgun. the little varmints don't stand a chance.

Posted By: lazi

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/15/11 05:38 AM

nope, I've been finding them. seen some good pretty deals going around since I started looking around but I just bought the Benjamin a week ago so I'm pretty much set. I did just notice an inverntory closeout on some nice rifles for a nice price so I am considering one of those as well.
Posted By: Sar5

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/15/11 05:42 AM

I have an old RWS 52, side cocking in 177 that has been very reliable. I have always wanted to try the 22 cal. Air rifles though.
Posted By: lazi

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/15/11 05:50 AM

the disco I got hits pretty hard. looks just shy of a .22 short the damage I'm seeing. I added a muzzle brake so now it's sounds about as loud as a hand clap when I shoot it. my hope is to get a maurauder at some point to have a repeated but the disco is rocking.

I also peeped a popular crosman in .177 for $60. i think it's claiming 1000 fps. would be great to leave in the closet for pests. I think I would try my hand at some mods. maybe cut the barrel and toss on a airgun red dot. make it a tactical can kill or something.

I also wouldnt mind a nice .22 break barrel since I see the damage they can do. waiting on a email from a manufactor named Cometa. they have something going on that may be worth looking at.

I have a hawke it's pretty clear and did not lose zero after a season of 'yote hunting (.223)
For the money, it's been good. I'm. It sure how well it would do on a heavy recoiling rifle.

On my airforce condor I have a entry level vortex scope. It works fine within the limits of an air rifle.

It was about he same price as the hawke. On a .22 either would work well.

If you have an older PSP and never bothered updating it you can make it do a lot of stuff really easily. Like be able to rip games from those little UMD disks onto a memory stick or play old nintendo games <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/15/11 09:41 AM

I find direct confrontation is best. Especially is several other co-workers feel the same way. Confront as a group. Maybe confront isn't a good word. But I go directly to them with the problem in a non-confrontational manner and I never give my opinion but the general consensus. If they ask me my opinion they get it. Both barrels.
Posted By: monsterdog

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/15/11 09:45 AM

Sounds pretty safe in general MB, unfortunately some of the people he guns for are his subordinates. I find myself in his line of fire as well recently, thankfully he isn't my boss though.

I don't know, I could just be entirely too sensitive, but it seems like his sarcasm is more truth than funny a lot of the time and he likes to find hot buttons and keep pressing them.

Oh well, these things can't always be resolved, I think I'll try being compassionate and kind and not let it get to me, maybe that will make it less fun.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/15/11 09:51 AM

I agree with MB. Address the situation sooner than later and remember that documentation of SPECIFIC examples with dates goes a long ways. Avoid backing someone into a corner to prevent putting someone on the emotional defensive.

I would add that staying with facts versus opinions helps keeps it less judgemental.

Once the issues are identified, immediately moving toward a solution, how to monitor if the solution is working and how to change if the solution is not working tends to focus energy towards the future versus dwelling on the past.

Not much more to tell. It looks like an interesting setup. I may pick up a couple to see if they may be worth it. They are a little smaller around than a soda can. goggle their website. They have a video. Its called a fire puck. I would post a link but it may violate TOS.

We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules
from the male side. These are our rules! Please note ... these are
all numbered '1' ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put
it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us
complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of
it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints
do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes, and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.
That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect
us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the
ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it
done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say
during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach,
for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have
no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act
like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth
the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an
answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.
Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared
to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster
trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

My wife absolutely terrifies me when she drives. Follows too close, hogs the left lane, won't yield to other drivers when she should. I can't ride with her unless it's an emergency or I'm drunk, and I don't like to then. I sure as the world couldn't sleep with her behind the wheel!

Never thought about audiobooks, but that could work well. I had a satellite radio in my car, and that worked great for distance driving, but I rarely go over an hour away from home now.

I think the longest I have driven with only fuel stops is 1600 miles.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/16/11 10:01 AM

That's a lot of driving nonstop. Got me beat.

I have been on a few long haul flights though. The longest was about 8,000 miles and about 16 hours. Too long to sleep through.

I try to limit it any more. I like to stop relax and go swimmimng or hit up a local tourist cave or see the sights. Flight wise I think the longest without getting off the plane was Japan back to the U.S. We stopped in Anchorage for fuel but they wouldn't let us off. Then into L.A.

Don't feel too bad if you don't get to travel. I have traveled more than most and seen a lot of stuff on every continent except Antarctica, and the best sight I have ever seen is my family waiting on me with open arms. You can't beat it.

LOL, reminds me of a time when I was hiking where I hunt and a couple of old hippies decided they were going to do some nude fly fishing in one of the beaver ponds. Thye must have been in their late 60's or early 70's. It was a mass of wrinkled flesh and I didn't have any eye bleach in my back pack.

Honestly I can't imagine being there with all those skeeters without some clothing on.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/16/11 11:39 AM

I can't say much about them, as I get older and less modest, I've went skinny dipping a few times in the past year myself. And I KNOW nobody wants to see my fat butt nekkid!

Hey bud, you PM box is full!

Anyway, the 38 case sounds great. Don't worry about a lanyard, I want it to take up as little space as possible. I'll figure out some way to attach a lanyard of some sort, UNLESS you want to try and drilling a hole the case and rod near the case rim. I would just then run a ball chain through it so I could then attach a longer lanyard If I needed to.

HOPEFULLY I'll be able to get that Coleman 533 stove today at the flea market, IF IT WORKS! I know the owners pretty well so hopefully they will let me take it outside and see if it will light and burn without leaking.

Not at all, we don't call the AF females air mattresses for no reason. The AF guys are now calling them Marine Mattresses according to my AF friend who is married to a Marine. She has accepted the the nomenclature. So, I know there are less then sainted people in the AF.

223 is a great round. I love my AR's...they never cease to amaze me at the damage they do (with the right ammo) to living animals. Barnes TSX kills kills and kills.

That said, 308 is also fantastic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Using my advance black belt skills in Google-fu and 2 decade-old memories, I certain the rifle is a Marlin model 100.

I haven't realy given much thought into a bolt action yet. I know I want one though.

I didn't mean synthetic internals. I just want something light unlike the Marlin's all wood and steel.

JJ, not a bolt, but given what I think about your adventuring....you might take a heavy look at the Marlin Papoose. Folks consider them a "grail" of sorts for SHTF survival type .22's. I don't know how much I agree...but they are kindof cool. http://www.marlinfirearms.com/firearms/selfloading/70pss.asp

I'd probably grab my CZ if I needed one rifle for long term survival.

Marlin 100...that sure is cool. Post some pics if you ever get a chance...would love to see it.

ISH is the hog in your pic rare or that size pretty common.
Posted By: Ishikawa

Re: CALLING DOG TIRED! - 12/18/11 08:05 AM

Hard to say, Marshall.

The black one was shot at 450 yards. Based on some crude methods of measuring chest diameter...he was estimated at 280 lbs.

The polka-dotted one, was a bit longer and thinner in the chest. He only estimated at about 250 lbs.

They are both boars. I would say they are about average for boars...not HUGE. However, we keep killing them, so for us it's somewhat rare to see one at >250 lbs or so. Most of the hogs we kill are 100-150, somewhere in that range. A true trophy would probably be 350+.

Posted By: lazi

Re: CALLING DOG TIRED! - 12/19/11 12:42 AM

my anti virus program is apple OSX. I've been free of virus hassles for 6 years now and very thankful.

i am also planning on setting up a ubuntu computer as well. for anybody who isn't planning to get super technical then it's a good option. if your pc is mainly internet surfing then i would run if along side or inside windows and jus boot up ubuntu for when surf the web. at least that's my plan with any pc hardware I may pick up in the future. it's actually not all that had to do. plus with ubuntu there's tons of open source programs that will let you do tons of stuff that you would pay to do with windows.

if they have a muzzle velocity less then 500fps OR less than 4.2 foot pounds of muzzle energy then they are not considered firearms federally.
local bylaws may consider them firearms depending on the area

my first laptop had vista on it, as did one of my daughters.
Horrible system, up-graded both to win 7, MUCH BETTER system.
i hate how microsoft throws out inferior (beta) products then charges you an arm and a leg to up-grade from them.
it will be interesting to see what happens to apple if they get popular enough for the hackers to get interested in them

still a little power at 500fps but not a go to critter getter.

cant really beat .22 lr but I'm thinking after I settle on a good pellet gun a decent tube fed .22lr filled with .22 short might be the go to firearm for my plinking purposes.

unless i mistaken think canada is loose on surpressor laws but strick on gun laws. I may end up looking for a can like JJ but don't like the idea of paying, paper work, and waiting.

BladeForums was NOT compromised
You may be seeing "Attack site messages" when coming to BFC. This is due to our third party advertiser allowing a malicious client to inject viruses into their market based banner program. As a result, when these ads were served by the third party service, a number of you got virus warnings. Google noticed the upswing in warnings and labeled our site as a possible malware threat. BladeForums.com servers were not at fault, and they have not been compromised.

We have removed the market-based third party banner advertising from the site and have notified Google to have them rescan for any malware. This being Sunday, we'll see when it happens

We're going to continue troubleshooting. If you encounter specific virus warnings (not a full page warning from google / mozilla firefox) please use the contact us link below and let us know.

Some of y'all may remember my situation with Photobucket about 2 years back when they also had a virus problem stemming from their banner ads...

Please do yourselves a favor and make sure your programs are all updated, especially your Adobe programs, like Acrobat PDF reader... That's the one that I failed to update and that's the one that got compromised because I didn't keep it current.

Easy way to check 'em all at once is Secunia PSI (secunia.com). Download the program and scan. It's free. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I find facebook to be a great tool to keep in touch. I make friends everywhere I go (and I go a lot) and don't have the time to call, email or mail them all to keep in touch. Facebook allows me to see what is going on in their lives and them mine with a simple login. It is like a big, ongoing conversation with all my friends. Kind of like sitting at a bar with a group of friends. There are many conversations going on. I might not participate directly in all of them, but I "hear' them just like when I'm at a party/bar or whatever.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/20/11 12:35 AM

Nothing new with her leg, it is swollen all the time, but sometimes it of course is worse than others. This is one of those times. It all stems from the wreck she had (she got T-boned) in '93 and broke her pelvis.

Haven't been around much, got in to the hobby of building ar's, its quite a bit more expensive. Anyways I've got to round up all my family knives for a pic soon, I still claim my tan yardhook is one of the most abused scrappers out there(not to challenge anyone lol).

I have tried to cut back on the excessive spending at Christmas. My wife has a huge family. They refuse to do a gift drawing where you buy a gift for one person and buy them a nice gift instead of spending 20-30 bucks each on 16 people. Well one family member has held out and the rest capitulated. I think I am going to throw out an idea for homemade christmas gifts next year. Maybe they will bite. 500+ bucks out the door is crazy.

I buy for my kids and my parents, my wife buys for her parents, and that's it. By agreement we don't buy for each other at Christmas. We may buy something for the household, but not for each other.

Money is tight this year, so we aren't doing a lot for anyone.

10 days no work is HUGE!! I would be very excited to take that much time away from work and spend it with family (or the woods..hehe).

Mags...what's a TRX band?

I'd love to have 10 days on the side of the river with nobody else around.

i'm takin the last week of december off. i hoped to spend some of it with the girl who shot me down today. apparently having everything she wants wasn't enough to get me past the seven year age difference.

Seven years? When I was separated over the summer, I was dating a girl that was 18. I'm 45. Seven years ain't nothing!

it's just nylon webbing, adjustable for length with some comfortable handles. you hang em on a pullup bar and do body weight exercises.

Yeah, it's for the best. Our biggest problem was taking things for granted, and she finally saw the light. I'm pretty easy to get along with, but I refuse to be walked on. Plus my son has to be part of the family, and she didn't want him there. All solveable problems.

Having a son is an eye opening experience. I've paid for everything that I ever did to my parents, and then some. But it's been a wild ride. He's 17 now, and on his last few years of high school. Then he's planning on joining the Air Force.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/21/11 09:55 AM

The one thing that has amazed me thus far in the early stages of the journey, was the lack of "care". I say that in quotes, because we have been through a lot to get here...to the point where we thought we couldn't have kids. My wife had to have a pretty severe surgery just to enable her. Her sister has had two already, working on the third, and they don't seem to understand what my wife has been through to get here....it's as if they lack any empathy for how great of a gift this is for us.

Oh well..they are the inlaws...f'em.

A Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share
He staggered on until he could no longer keep his feet
Then stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/21/11 10:36 AM

Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by,
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
You see yon sleeping Scotsman who is young and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/21/11 10:37 AM

They crept up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Then lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth
Posted By: rth548

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/21/11 10:38 AM

They marveled for a moment then one said we'd best be gone
But let's leave a present for our friend before we move along
They took a blue silk ribbon and they tied it in a bow
Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did show
Posted By: rth548

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/21/11 10:40 AM

The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward a tree
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
Then in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
He said, 'Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first
prize'

I always like to jump on the BFX every couple months just to see what cool blades are around. but man there's always a blade or two in there that makes my "I'll take it" finger start itching really bad.

good thing im starting to really hate paypal. might end up saving me a couple bucks...

if it wasn't for pp I wouldve been able to snag at least one knife this year. at least I should be able to start 2012 off right. guessing that's when I will see my jungle green scrapivore show up. think I'm going to try ti edc on a regular basis.

I haven't seen anything that look of interest to me on the BFX in the last few weeks, for awhile I was visiting hourly but I set pretty good and just waiting for the 711 to ship.

I told my son the other day if I heard "I want" one more time I was gonna throw something at him. He's 17 years old, and that's old enough to know that Christmas isn't about presents.

Old enough to have something thrown at him too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Don't have any experience training ... err ... i mean raising a runt other than the time I have spent with my sister's little ones, but I would imagine instilling good morals in our society is hard.

Mine needs a good lesson in those things. He's a good kid, but lazy as can be. I'm HOPING that he'll go in the military when he graduates, but I'm thinking that he'll never do it.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/25/11 06:08 AM

He's in bad need of a lesson in responsibility and self-control. He needs a good structured environment for a while to learn how things are in the real world.

Evening all, just finished cleaning up after our family get together(in-laws) and it went very well. Everyone enjoyed the food and ate their fill, my wife said this is the last time she's doing this much, just about everything had to be cooked at the last minute but I cooked most of it anyway. Clean up is always the toughest thing and I actually clean as I go but all the dishes pile up at the end, oh well it's just once a year.

I think I am going to get the Cheness Katana blade in Shirasaya. It is cheaper than the actual Katana, but is the same blade. I will just mount it myself. It gets rave reviews from sword enthusiast and is the only one of the three I am looking at (and in my price range) that is hand forged. No machines are used in the making either.

After some research, I learned something new about katanas. I always thought shirasaya was a simple type of sword. It is actually just a way to protect the blade before it has been mounted to a handle, guard etc etc.

Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/25/11 01:27 PM

I might be wrong, But I think it is simply called a Storage sheath. In Japan, it is the Blade that is revered, and MAYBE the Tusba. When I was there I went to the Japanese National Sword Museum and saw at least one blade from Circa 900ad. AND depending on what kind of sword it is, will determine if it is displayed edge up or edge down.

About the same here, Had a woman (girl) said she was assaulted and wanted to file charges. No deputies on duty so I called one out. When he got there and talked to her, NO charges but she was mad about her Ex-boyfriend having their 2 year old son. The girl abandoned him in October, and has seen him MAYBE two hours total since then.

Thank You Tom! Well..... It has SORT of been indicated to me that IF I don't flaunt it, and considering where I go that as long as I don't let it interfere with my work.... Every other time the computer (online) has been declared off limits I was told that it didn't apply to me cause I could be trusted to NOT go where I shouldn't.

I hope you and the General have a VERY joyous and happy Christmas as well Tom.

Our deputies have been told to keep the traffic stops and such to a minimum tonight, no trying to serve warrants, just answer calls. Some of them are at the LT's house watching a movie, some of them are here to watch the game. We'll answer calls like that, but not much more.

It's kind of bad PR to go arrest people on warrants on Christmas day, our bosses say. Especially since a lot of them are known to be BS warrants anyway.

Now, I can take it or leave it. We didn't do a tree this year, mainly because I was working. But we all decided to not do gifts except for the kids, and it worked out ok that way. No stressing out over who to buy for and how much to spend.

Yeah, tell me about it! Didn't care about taking the kids, or anything like that. But she made sure to take her jewelry, including that ring, her Princess House stuff and my Trans Am. I did get it back in the middle of the night about a week later, when I found out she was out with her boyfriend at a nightclub in town.

Well when my Mother passed away in 85 Christmas became just another day but not a sad day just an ordinary day. The whole marketing thing is bad but not enough to ruin a day where our family gets together to remember the days of our youth and those members of our family that are no longer with us. We don't have children of our own so there is none of the gimme gimme and I want this or that going on, we usually buy what we want for ourselves throughout the year but still try to buy some small things for each other.

I think we all (in my family) need to step back from Christmas as far as gifting goes. It got badly out of hand in the past couple years. I actually felt guilty this year because I didn't buy anyone stuff, but I held to the agreement that we all made.

Sitting here tonight, with Christmas pretty much over, it feels good that I don't owe a big credit card bill over Christmas gifts.

With the price of the 7-11 and 5-11. I think the 4-11 will be very reasonable

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/26/11 06:20 AM

I think so too. I'm figuring $90ish.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/26/11 06:27 AM

Just looked, and the 511 is $89.95. So I'd say the 411 will be about $10 less....Makes it pretty attractive.

Here, almost all jailers are deputies that have just been hired. First step is working in the jail. Dispatch is the tough job to get. Only 8 jobs in the county, and almost no turnover.

We had a high turnover one year. They lost 10 in 2 months because they thought the grass was greener at another place. The majority were senior dispatchers. So we had one and 2 year dispathcers training and they barely know the job. It has had a nasty ripple effect.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/26/11 08:36 AM

I generally just deal with the supervisors. Different chains of command. If I have problem with a supervisor I go to their bosses. Its rare but I have had to do it more than I would like to. About the only time I intervene is on serious officer safety issues. Usually I can counteract most of the problems with a quick phone call or a gentle reminder over the radio.

I can't wait till the level of experience come back up.

The of the surface earth is spinning at more than 1,000 mph. The earth is orbiting the sun at 67,000 mph. Then there's the speed the solar system is orbiting the center of the galaxy and then the galaxy's movement in the cosmos. Not even taking into account my movement in time (it is part of space), I am hauling [censored] at astronomical speeds without leaving mt recliner.

Salt Lake being the industry heavy place it is, it was easy to find places that sell and cut plate metals. I figure I can a brass circle cut at 3" diameter and 1/4" thick and do the rest of the shaping with a drill, dremel and files.

The rest of the stuff for the handle is pretty basic stuff except for the few pieces I will have to get from Cheness directly. They sell most. Seems like they have a lot of customers making their own mounts.

This one is definitely something I can do. The second one would be hard to emboss unless I used an acid etching kit but that wouldn't really be as deep as the image I made. This one I could just drill out the negative space and dremel/file the rest out.

I still need to come up with an idea for the pommel or whatever the Japanese call it, but I have an awesome idea for the blade. Cheness keeps thier prices down by not putting a mirror polish on the blade (that and cheap Chinese sweat shop labor). So, I want to polish it on my 3,000, 8,000, and 12,000 grit stones then put the NCO Sword etching on the blade.

Never realized that's all there is to it. Sounds fairly simple, especially if you're artistic enough to draw out the patterns, and I know you've got that covered

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/26/11 11:47 AM

It sounds easy, but as you pointed out, it takes some artsy stuff to get the pattern on there. But, I would photograph my sword, manipulate the image in photoshop to be black and white and warp the shape to the katana blade's shape. Then print it out at actual size - luckily I have a printer at work that prints on 2" wide rolls of paper. Use the print out as a stencil for the film, then cut out the design.

Wow, that makes it sound like a lot of work. This project is going to keep me busy all next summer.

I have never done anything like that or even etched anything with acid, but I watched a few tutorials and am certain I can do it. The whole complex photo-print-stencil-film is my figuring on how to do it without having to freehand it.

I originally started researching swords for a quality backyard slasher. Figured it would be cool to use a sword instead of a machete when camping.

You can also get rid of the smell by putting them in the freezer over night. Might be beneficial to spray them, let them set for about 20-30 minute for the Lysol to get inside them real good then freeze them. I used to do this with my sneaks and it actually worked!
Posted By: Anonymous

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/27/11 12:23 AM

The lysol is working fine. I gave them a good dousing the first time once they already stunk. Now the short spray after each use keeps them perfect. They really stank before. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I think the lysol build up in them should keep the smell away during periods when I can't use lysol after each use too.

I've been using the Maxped Fliegerduffel for a few weeks now and love it. It has a lot of carry options. Backpack straps which are pretty comfortable. It has a D ring on each corner so you can choose how you want the long shoulder strap for one shoulder carry. It has a padded single hand grip on top and a drag strap on each end.

Would make a great BOB. Tons of molle webbing and five pockets besides the main compartment.

Highly recommended. I assume the Doppelduffle is just as good, just bigger.

I like the knife. It has opened many cans and such, but I have a complaint. I don't know if all SAKs are like this: I can open it fine with one hand, but the locking mechanism goes left when locked. That means I have to pull it with my thumb to close the knife. I usually just use two hands. It would be great for a left handed person. Come to think of it, Lt. Geiger is left handed. Maybe he got a left handed model.

I found my halfway point to Twentynine Palms, can't find the name of the place, but it is a forest at the south west corner of Utah. Should make a great camping ground at 6,000 feet with clear skies and low of 18 forecasted.

If you're talking about the dress ribbons, you're SOL from this end. I didn't go for all the fancy stuff they had. I stayed as far away from that stuff as possible. Give me a set of BDU'S or some jeans and boots with either set of clothes and I am happy. I never cared for ANY kind of monkey suit, Military OR civilian.

GunDog, as for bikes - I love riding mine. I ride mine to work everyday. It is about a 8 mile trip there. I do some long distance stuff in the summer, 50-400 miles. Obviously I stop and camp on the longer ones instead of pedaling 400 miles straight.

To give you an idea of how used that bike is, I have a 2009 model Toyota I bought in late 2008 and it just hit 11,000 miles. Mostly just long road trips. Local commutes are done on the bike 90 percent of the time.

That is the local commute setup. I have more bags and stuff for the long distance stuff. I looked at getting a new Cannondale, but found that they don't have the "Handmade in the USA" on them anymore. I like the idea of American handmade when I can afford it. I have replaced/upgraded parts though. I will use this frame until it breaks.

that's great. I and lived and spent a large chunk of my childhood growing up at outdoor environmental schools that my dad organized and directed.
they where on large camps and schools could come and get there science stuff covered by trained science teachers and they had 10,000 kids a year. since I was home schooled and lived on the camps I could get up early and and get all my school done be 12:00
and have the rest of the day to bike and hike the camps that where over 400 acres of woods, swamps, lakes, and streams. mountain biking was the fastest way to get around. I also had lots of area to play army growing up. with 10,000 kids a year I had a great aggressor force to wage pretend gorilla warfare on<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> its great having a squad (a 12 member group of kids with their cabin leaders) walk almost on top of you as you lay in your your hide site. it was also fun to play capture the flag with the kids in the woods.

It's actually a cop bike. Cannondale designed the Enforement models under a contract with some police department. Pretty good for on and off road/developed trails at least. I have taken it off trail a few time, but the tires are not grippy enough. I could change the tires, but I am on pavement more than dirt and nobbies suck on pavement. Wear you out.

A buddy and I used to slide down the tin roof of a barn they had, until he decided one day to go off the backside and ripped his A** on a nail sticking up about 2 inches. We stopped after that. The Gash measured about 8 inches long.

And when I was younger than that, me and another buddy would ride on the draw bar of a tractor the city utility worker mowed the city grass with. He turned a real sharp turn one day and threw my buddie's legs between the tractor fender and the wheel. Broke both his legs in numerous places. He was in a full waist to toes case on both legs for about 6 months.

When I was a kid I was pretty much the mascot for my Dads team in 5th group. They let me do all kinds of stuff. They had one of the static line simulators and they let me play on it. The next week I jumped off the roof using a garbage bag as a parachute. I took me three tries before I got caught. I kept going back into the house getting larger sheets after my first try. I was trying to perfect the canopy. Its a good thing I had a decent PLF for a 6 year old. Dad got suspicious when I asked for one of his parachutes.

The "SOC" ramp at Pope AFB pretty well ran as it's own separate entity. They came and went (Mostly at night for "Real operations") and it was not uncommon to see some scruffy, dirty, long haired bearded "Foreign weapons" carrying civilian clothed individuals coming back. Funny thing, no one ever saw them getting ON a plane. Oh and not all the planes were "Made in the U.S.A".

When doing a flightline FOD check one night and finding some strangly marked ammo I was told "You did not see this". Sometimes you DO NOT ask questions, you just say yes sir and you carry on.

But he gave me the Randall he carried since 74. I think he misses the connection. He won't take the Randall back. I will probably buy him a 4-11 when they come out so he has a tough user.

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/27/11 06:29 AM

We've got a lady in jail they just arrested last Wednesday or Thursday on 60 Felony counts of forgery. Seems she has been writing out checks to her husband and forging her bosses signature, THEN forging her husbands signature and cashing the checks. Guess it was a pretty good racket while it lasted, it got her over $315,000.00! BUT I don't think it will be doing her any good where she's gonna be going. Oh and they say her husband didn't know anything about it. If that's true, WHERE'S THE MONEY?!

Re: Death Chat------ Redoux - 12/27/11 07:51 AM

They don't charge for the games, you buy farmville dollars (with real greenbacks) so you can buy stuff in the games. Patty does it sometimes, but it's her entertainment and it's a lot cheaper than what some women spend. Patty isn't really a shopper.

Personally I would not have anything to do with any of those social sites, but Patty signed me up for facebook so she could use me to help her get stuff in farmville. Personally I hate facebook I VERY seldom post on it and I don't do "Friends" on it. Now Patty has added a bunch on my but I don't, not even my own relatives.

Sorry guys, got sidetracked.

Doing better now. Took Patty to the ER at 2300 last night. She went to get in bed and her bad (the one with the three veins closed by bloodclots) gave way on her. She said it felt just like it has when she has thrown another clot.

They did bloodwork and a CT scan and couldn't find any clot. BUT did say she had a lot of fluid on her knee and probably Arthur coming to visit her. AND that it looked like she had damaged it some.

Ham sandwiches, ham and potatoes, ham and eggs. Thankfully I like it. The Turkey was great this year, I did a weird brine this time lots of garlic and a fair amount of carribean jerk seasoning. Really good.

Honey baked is my favorite. And I'm a little strange, MB. Don't eat turkey. I spent a large chunk of my teen years working on a turkey farm, and to this day I can't stand even thinking about eating turkey.

Re: Almost there! - 12/29/11 09:58 AM

I took my friends son and his wife out to an indoor play area so the kids could burn off some energy. I found out my friend never took his son camping at all last year. I told him as soon as school lets out we would plan a trip. I told him to tell his Dad we were going the last week of May or the First week of June.

I'm thinking a camping/fishing trip in a tent only area. Or an ATV camping trip in a more remote area. That way he can't wuss out with a camper.

Re: Almost there! - 12/29/11 10:01 AM

Sounds like a plan! I would just as soon use a tent, but my wife refuses to go camping unless we have some sort of a camper. I don't know why, but she just can't handle tents.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Almost there! - 12/29/11 10:02 AM

So the way I see it, better camping in a camper than not at all.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Almost there! - 12/29/11 10:03 AM

My wife will only go in the camper. I usually take the runt and go in a tent or hammock. Traveling light has its advantages. Hammocks are where its at if you have a place to hang one.

I think you are right. The Bots are killing it. Get a double hammock and a tarp. Way cheaper and the only thing you are missing is a bug net. Not a big deal here. Maybe there though.

The doubles are nice because you can nearly lay sideways if you want to.

I'm just looking forward to being able to run and hike with a pack without worrying about paying for it for the next few weeks. Right now if I don;t ice my knee right after a jog I take a chance on being in pain.

Grandpa, What Is Sex?

An 8-year-old girl went to her grandfather,
Who was working in the yard and asked him,
"Grampa, what is sex?"
...
The grandfather was surprised that she would ask
Such a question, but decided that if she's old enough
To know to ask the question, then she's old enough
To get a straight answer. Steeling himself to leave
Nothing out, he proceeded to tell her all about
Human reproduction and the joys and
Responsibilities of intercourse.

When he finished explaining, the little girl was
Looking at him with her mouth hanging open,
Eyes wide in amazement.

Seeing the look on her face, the grandfather
Asked her, "Why did you ask this question, honey?"

The little girl replied, "Grandma says that
Dinner will be ready in just a couple of secs."

I have been in for a little more than 7 years. I joined late though. I broke my leg at 18 and had implants installed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> inside the calf bone then joined at the Marines ten years later with many medical waivers.

I'm not usually jumpy, but if I heard something screaming in the woods while I was camping I'd probably get really really nervous. I've heard a cougar scream, and that was unnerving enough.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Almost there! - 12/30/11 09:49 AM

We used to have a cougar here close by, when I was growing up. We'd hear it screaming at night, all up and down the creek that was on the other side of the next ridge over. Haven't heard it in years though. Dad actually saw it one night while he was coming in from hunting over there, tried to shoot it but couldn't.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Almost there! - 12/30/11 09:49 AM

Yep. My friend has been trying to get them out here for an investigation. Apparently there have been several sightings. I do think that one of the reported sightings was me on a mountain top though.

I don't trust yotes. I got surrounded by them one morning just before dawn when I was bowhunting as a kid. They kept running towards me and would veer off just before i could tag it with my bow. I have a deep hatred for them ever since. If they howl nearby it still sends a chill up my spine.

Re: Almost there! - 12/30/11 10:03 AM

Never had much dealing with them, but when my little house dog came in heat last fall they were everywhere. We were sleeping with the windows open, and I could hear them yapping and howling every night, right close to the house. I killed a couple, but there were still plenty around.

Hey, I got another firesteel from DT the other day. I had him mount this on in a 38spl case for a handle. I HAD it (and may put it back) in my covered soap dish edc FAK. Got some band aids, couple gauze pads, a germ-x wipe and some OTC meds in it. I took the Fire steel, 2 inch bladed folding knife and 4 Petroleum Cotton balls in an old leatherman pouch.

Yup, wax paper, corn whips, ANYTHING with a high oil content. BUT the trick it getting it started burning. Heck I've even squirted some hand cleaner on a paper towel and it helped the paper burn longer.

When I was in the Boy Scouts, I'd carry a good sized candle and put in the bottom of the fire, light it, and build a tepee over it. Once that started, I'd pull the candle out and put it up for next time.

Re: Almost there! - 12/30/11 01:34 PM

When you saturate the cotton, just smear a goodly amount on the outside and then use your fingers to "Heat it up" and get it down into the ball. AFTER you get some done, try one out and see if you need to go back and add some more Jelly. Oh also kind of stretch the cotton ball out to give it more surface to catch the sparks. If you get TO MUCH jelly, it won't hardly light.

Good evening gents! Got my (2)10 LE in. They sure are purdy. Now to get sheaths.
I noticed Scrapyard has one that is about 25 bucks, but have not received an answer on the size or how it is differant. Anybody know? This is at the top of the order page. Below are the sheaths for a 10" and a 6" knife, which I would be more than happy with for the 10. Just hate to not spend the extra 6 bucks if the 25 buck one is that much better.

I also may order a 711, so that might need a spec ops to be a better fit.

so I just finished watching the available seasons of sons of anarchy. got to watch them over the last few days. now that I can see the entire series. I enjoy them more than I would if I had to rush to the tv once a week.

i do have to recognize that advertising dollars are lost and it's not quite as much to look forward to when you have instant video access but it does help me to get into shows I may never have been able to. I don't even know what channel soa or terra nova show on but ive enjoyed being able to watch then without the gaps you would get if you just tuned in or happened to get busy and miss an episode. I just hate that since the ad dollars are gone it will eventually become a pay to play industry and eventually deteriorate due to piracy like the music business.

Jared, considering where you live, and your newfound love for guns, get you a couple. one rifle and one revolver, 357 mag. For your area, that round will handle anything you will come up against. Yes, the 30-30 is a good weapon, I have had one for the last going on 40 years. BUT would YOU need the added range this round would give, and would it really give you an extended range?

I doubt I "need" it, I do have a Ruger security six in 357/38 special with the 6 inch barrel. I love the look of the lever actions and they look like fun to shoot also. I have a good AR, just been browsing the 30-30 lately

okay its a ruger... but if you can find a .357 lever that would be a good combo I'm thinking. I would go stainless if I could find one.

I've been looking at slingshots. Think it would be fun, and challenging.
I suspect me and my son would have a lot of inexpensive fun.

maybe check out the slingshot thread in the outdoors forum. been having some fun with the $8 slingshot I picked up over summer. found I got pretty accurate with little practice.

About time for some lunch, BBQ! It's ok to eat pork, but you can't eat any poultry product on New Years Day!

For good luck you are supposed to eat: Hog Jowls and black eyed peas! (or just any kind of pork will work). The reasoning, poultry, when it eats scratches and backs up. A Hog roots and goes forward!

Re: Almost there! - 01/01/12 12:59 PM

Boots are a hard one to recommend. I like Asolo for hiking boots because they fit my feet. There are plenty of good boots out there. But you have to try them on and walk a bit to get an idea if you will like them or not.

For leather work boots I like the rocky ranger 9's and for my Duty boots I like the Bates enforcers. Mostly because they fit. A lot of makes seem to have too much slop in the heels and it makes for an uncomfortable walk and blisters for me.

Re: Almost there! - 01/01/12 10:22 PM

been wanting a 1894c for a couple years now. just seems like a good all around rilfe to fill the gap between .22 and high power rounds. anything from raccoons to deer out to around 75-80 yards from what I've read. iron sights and a slim light package. plus you can top off the mag easy so it's just the gun and ammo you need. lots of ammo choices and shared ammo with a handgun.

hope you find one...

and there was a really cool looking stainless steel marlin with a rail on top at one time. think the price jumped pretty good on that one though.

I've been thinking a lot lately about unloading some of my firearms. I think I need to just concentrate on the core. For pistols, a 22lr, 9mm/357 and 45acp. I might keep at least one of my .32acp pistols just cause they are small and easy to conceal. If not MAYBE my Walther PP .380. In long guns, my Colt AR15a3, my Ruger 10-22, a good shotgun with the pistol grip butt stock and a different (lighter) 308.

sounds like you got a great deal on those boots skunk. urockport boots have always been my favorite pairs of kicks. cant find them built like they used to be though. I've paid over $150 for them and all I can say is they hold up really well and are really comfortable. the soles last 4-5 years worn daily. I still have a few pair that I would like to have new soles put on and keep around for spare boots.

yeah they are really comfortable, and they are wide enough too. I have a problem with shoes, I have always had to us regular width when I have needed wides. It has caused my big toes to be bent inward.

I am in one of those billeting rooms that shares a bathroom between two rooms. I didn't realize this. I closed the door to the bathroom as I normally do. When I got out of the shower, I realized the door was locked because my neighbors have access to the bathroom too. I guess I was supposed to unlock it before closing it. I live in hotels, so I am not used to this. It ain't used to me either apparently.

I went that way the next day, and it was nowhere near as pretty as Dixie Forest, but had more amenities, all it took was anything to have more though. Dixie just had a sign that said "camping closed for the winter." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

"Where is the most uninhabitable,harshest terrain and boring place in the continental United States?" Brass number 1

"One of our deserts, I guess" Brass number 2.

"True, but I am thinking about a desert with mountains I can make Marines run up. I want them tired, dehydrated and hating me?" Brass 1

"Well, the most hikers die in 29 Palms," Brass 2

"That's the place!" Brass 1

Yeah, i was looking at lever guns, just because Ive always liked the, same with revolvers, just something about them, and wanted a marlin 336 ( 30-30) but I'm not a hunter, just wanted something fun to shoot and would be handy in a hypothetical survival situation. Lazi mentioned the 1894, kinda did it right there for me. Fairly inexpensive to practice with and can shoot .357

I've got a 336 30/30 in the safe that my dad bought for $200 less than two years ago. It was ugly, but we re-blued the barrel and action and refinished the wood, and it's beautiful now.

I want another Ruger .44 Mag carbine semi-auto. Not the Deerfield, but the older model that had the internal magazine. I loved mine, another one I wish I had back.

I get that twinge about some knife or another that I sold, but then I think, there must have been a good reason for selling it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> usually cause I want another knife <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well usually I'd agree with that. My father in law wanted to borrow it to hunt with, so I let him. Family and all, right? He sold it.

Re: Almost there! - 01/03/12 04:23 AM

Yeah. He told my wife that I gave it to him, and he could sell it if he pleased. He was a piece of work. I hope he's burning in Hell as we speak.

Re: Almost there! - 01/03/12 04:25 AM

He was a known fence and thief himself, but I didn't know that much about him. I hadn't met him more than a few times when he pulled that. Later on, I found out a bunch about him. I wouldn't allow my kids to go see him, he was that bad.

JJ, that's one thing I've never been accused of. He knew where I stood before his daughter and I divorced. I wouldn't allow him in my house.

My ex invited him over for Thanksgiving dinner once without telling me. I came in from deer hunting, and found him there. I told him he could leave on his feet or in a bag, but he was leaving. And yes, I completely meant it. I would have shot him had he moved toward me at all.

Re: Almost there! - 01/03/12 04:29 AM

He killed his uncle many years ago over a bar they co-owned. Shot him 14 times and got off by saying it was self defense. I wouldn't give him the chance.

It is pleasant here. High in the 70s and low in the 40s. After spending the last few weeks in the mountains in Montana and sleeping outside in the low teens the a few nights ago, it is down right hot. I went for a 3 mile jog today to get used to it and sweated buck shot.

and jj... think I may have a idea for a .22lr trap for you. doing pretty good for the .22 pellets so far. but I found a box that was almost the same size as magazine. stacked a ton of old magazine with edges facing towards me. got a metal plate in the back of the box just in case. now if ever shoot out the center of the the trap I can just grab some more old magazines and toss them in the box. also instead of shooting through the pages tend to crumple up when you shoot them long ways. hitting the same hole a few times just makes more of a wad instead of drilling a hole all the way through.

the pump does provided a little bit of a workout and they are pretty heavy to tote around. if you plan to take a lot of shots out in a field somewhere then this would be a problem. if you plan to take just a few shots while hunting then its cool but for strolling and plinking all day then a break barrel is the way to go.

also turns out my disco likes to be at 1500-1600 psi. I loose a hand full of shots but any higher and it shoots all over the place. so im at 15-20 shots between pump ups. not really disappointed but the mrod is supposed to be better about handling air I think.

I only have about 5 miles driveway to driveway, so my old truck doesn't hurt me too bad by getting 14 mpg. But I'd hate to drive it as far as my wife does. Then again, I wouldn't mind having something to drive that got 30+ mpg.

Ole Grumpybutt uses about $100/week. Close to a third of her pay goes to gas. I say it would pay for her to work here at a lower-paying job instead of commuting daily.

Mine does customer service for a company that contracts to AT&T Wireless. It's a horrible job. She has to read off a script, which isn't so bad, but she also has to sell tv and internet packages to people that call in about wireless problems. She comes home in tears every day. If she doesn't sell so many, she gets wrote up and after 4 writeups, it's termination.

She manages to sell a couple here and there, but hasn't lately. I figure she'll get the axe soon. At least she can draw unemployment for a while, since she's not at fault.

Back to the MPG dealio: I "inherited" my grandma's camry. It had really low miles when I got it. I average about 25 in the city, but my best gas mileage was 35 mpg until this last summer. My wife and I drove from WA to CA and through Oregon we got 39 MPG! I was so surprised. That week I had gone to Oil Can Henry's to get my oil changed, engine flushed, etc. Normally I do my own oil change, but we had a coupon and I wanted the whole 9 yards. I was satisfied with that.

Someone calls in a fight, not because there's a fight, but because her ex is there and he has warrants on him. She's getting a lecture on proper use of 911 as we speak.

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/04/12 09:30 AM

And instead of slipping in quiet and getting hands on the guy with warrants, they go flying in and he runs out the back door and nobody sees him.

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/04/12 11:10 AM

Here is the storyline, you can extrapolate from here.

Storyline

Are government surveillance cameras intended to keep us safe actually killing people? Is it a plot by the government to suppress the opposition, or have our terrorist enemies secretly gained control of our security system and are now using it against us? Following another major terrorist attack the US instigates an intense government surveillance program in which every camera in the country is linked into a single, all-seeing network called the ODIN system (for Optical Defense Intelligence Network). The system includes millions of mobile, robotic surveillance cameras known as "Eyeborgs," which watch everyone for suspicious behavior, all in the name of security, law enforcement and keeping America safe. An agent for the Department of Homeland Security grows suspicious of the system after a series of odd murders in which the physical evidence doesn't match up to what the video records show...

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/04/12 11:18 AM

I was at the grocery store getting some lunch for Patty and I. Patty called and was talking quietly, saying someone was coming in the house and then after a few seconds the phone went silent. I was about a mile and a half from home by the highway, but only bout a half a mile if I cut through the road that goes through the cemetery. You KNOW what I did, 60 mph down this one lane gravel road. got home and had my Emerson Karambit out as I went through the door. I cleared the living room and kitchen and started down the hallway when I saw Patty in the bathroom. She had just layed the phone down without hanging it up (she thought she had hung it up as I had told her on the phone I would be right home).

Come to find out, a neighbor had come by and dropped off some news papers he reads and WAS going to leave them just inside the door cause he thought we weren't home, but decided to just leave them hanging on the outside of the door. Needless to say, from now on if I leave for anything the door will be locked EVEN when Patty is home.

I am proud of one thing, she didn't hear me come in the door.

I am very big on personal security. The doors are always locked. The only time I leave the back door unlocked is when the dogs are out. No stranger in their right mind would be there with them. If we are all inside the doors are locked. The pups are very protective of the wife and kid.

I used to dislike having dogs in the house. Now the nuisance is more than worth the benefit.

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/04/12 11:27 AM

Same with out little dog (Jack Russell), patty said she got up on the end of the bed and started growling and then barking, but with her size, she couldn't do TO much if someone was determined.

Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/04/12 11:34 AM

Actually small dogs are a better early warning system. Plus they are more prone to make a noise where as larger dogs are more prone to be quite and just take a chunk out of the bad guys.

So two dogs are the ideal alarm system, one small to "Raise the troops" and a larger one to take care of business.

Good morning everyone!

Todd I have to run out to the auto parts store, my 4wd won't engage in my blazer and I want to check and see if the sell the control module and I want to check the module first but I need cleaner and dielectric grease just in case.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/06/12 02:25 AM

What model Blazer? My 91 S10 Blazer wouldn't engage. It was a vacuum switch under the battery.
Posted By: cazio

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/06/12 02:56 AM

Mine is an 02 and I think I read it isn't vacuum driven anymore. I found a great website called chevytalk and have a couple of leads. Some say it is the transfer case control module(tccm) and on rockauto.com there is a video to replace it(simple) inside the passenger side cabin where your right foot would sit. They say check it for corrosion on the contacts and clean it and apply dielectric grease to the connectors. I was going to try that before having my mechanic take over, he said one of the acuators was sticking. When I hit the switch to shift to 4wd hi or lo you can hear the module but it won't shift in unless in nuetural. Be back in a bit but I'll check back from my phone. When I said I was going earlier I dozed off in the chair reading up on the replacement of the part.

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/06/12 04:32 AM

Well got back and tried the fix mentioned to me but still doing the same thing and there was some corrosion on the connectors and pins. When. I finished my wife came home and now we're at big lots. I love to shop, no seriously I do. Later.

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/06/12 07:11 AM

I used to shop with my mom when I was younger and can remember being in the store for what seemed like forever, when she started sending me to the store with a list I was in and out in no time. I still enjoy going to the store and when I go I either have a list or am on a scouting mission and just am whatever catches my eye. I'm the same way when I go to a gunshow I know what I'm looking for and get going through with none of the standing in the isles blocking every table and jamming things up.

Just for grins and giggles, a bit of Skunkhunter history.

I joined the Air Force in 1994. I retired from there 20 years later, after a total of 20 years, 1 month and 16 days (according to my DD214).

I started working here in January of 1994 and am now celebrating my 18th year here. It just don't seem possible that much time has passed. (unless you were to see my picture)! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/06/12 07:55 PM

So Skunk you are truly as master of time. You joined the Air force in 1994 and retired 20 years later (2014)? You also started work at your current employer in 1994 and are at 18 years. Time bender and in 2 places at once. My friend. You have skills. I think they might have a position in the government for you. Somewhere.


The really cool part. If you retire from the AF in 2014 then the world really doesn't end in 2012. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

There were three here that had bellies. I thought they were the type you see in the Corps that had the freaky bodies that looked out of shape, but weren't. I was wrong and they are now making that trip home to stand before the man.

I should feel bad for them, as they will be getting the rears chewed off, but they did it to themselves.

I have been teasing a friend for a while to sell me his bike. He wants to trade it in on a city bike. So I'm going to buy his 09 Electra glide classic. Its already setup like a street glide so Its good to go. Only 5,000 miles on it.

I may finance through HD if they give me a decent deal. Just so i can buy the service plan. I'm saving bewteen 6 and 8 grand by buying used from my friend.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/07/12 09:39 AM

The 1% deal is just for new bikes, 2011 and 2012. I already checked because they had a used Fat Bob sitting there that was about $2k cheaper than the new ones. But no dice.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/07/12 09:42 AM

The electra glide was one of the ones I was thinking about. It was between that and a street glide. If I had gotten the new electra I was going to strip off the tour pack and chop the windshield. To make it look like the Street Glide.

I may wait till next spring to get mine, if Old Grumpybutt gets her way. She wants us to pay off her Explorer first. Not a bad idea, but as soon as it gets paid for she'll want something else. So I'm thinking this spring...
Posted By: rth548

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/07/12 09:48 AM

I'd like to have the Explorere paid for too, but we'll have some other stuff paid for soon too. Like our bedroom furniture will be paid for next month, and that alone is almost the bike payment I'm looking at.

Amen to that! My truck is paid for, and even if I get something else I'm keeping it. If I don't get a bike, I'll probably end up getting a small car for running around. Something like a Kia Soul.

Re: Cabin Fever! - 01/07/12 10:05 AM

I could stand a new vehicle anyway, my truck is a 91 and getting up there in miles. But I drive less than 5 miles each way to work, so I don't need anything new.

I have the 258 6 cyclinder. But it has 4:56 gears. 33 inch tires. 4 inch lift. Cut out fenders, front shackles reversed, quick disconnect sway bar and a host of other mods.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/07/12 10:58 AM

With that gearing I should be running 35 inch tires but I'm cheap and it has some pretty good tires on it.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/07/12 11:01 AM

Sounds like a pretty good rig to me. I always preferred the 258 myself, never owned one of my own that had any bigger. The Commando I had was rockin a 231 Buick V6, and it was a tough little booger.

The last house on the left is more of a thriller/drama. Some criminal rape a girl and think they killed her. They were injured in a wreck and unknowingly show up at the girls parents house and are stranded in a storm. While they are sleeping the daughetr shows up and Mom and dad realize what happened and who assaulted and tried to kill their daughter.

Not as violent as I would like but still a good flick.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/07/12 01:22 PM

I had a buddy that was running about 150 mph trying to catch up to the group that he was riding with. He got caught by a stop light and decided to try and catch up.

An old lady pulled out in front of him in a big Lincoln Town Car. He turned the car nearly 180 degrees. All his fault, but still gone.

My close experience was pulling out to pass a car on a two lane road and not seeing an oncoming car. By the time I saw it, it was too late to do anything but go over next to the car I was passing. I probably had less than a foot on either side as the oncoming car passed.

Already sent an email about my screwup to the supervisor (who won't get it until Monday) and wrote a note to the court. I'll call the Chief Deputy in the morning to see what he says.

I've used about 3 items out of it in the last two days. Oh I also added some Zofran as well. If you ever get an upset stomach, that stuff works wonders,but you need a script for it.

ZOFRAN - Ondansetron is used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Ondansetron is in a class of medications called serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of serotonin, a natural substance that may cause nausea and vomiting.

I keep betadine for cleaning the initial injury and a triple antibiotic if I need to keep a wound moist to heal. I used to let them dry out and Mr Dr told me they better moist. I tried it out a few months ago and it seemed that it healed quicker than usual.

Walmart brand Equate triple antibiotic
Active: Bacitracin Zinc 400 Units (First Aid Antibiotic), Neomycin 3.5 Mg (First Aid Antibiotic), Polymyxin B Sulfate 5,000 Units (First Aid Antibiotic). Inactive: White Petrolatum.

Looks nearly identical to me.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/08/12 11:38 AM

I stand corrected. Wikipedia excerpt:

Cyanoacrylates (Super glue) were developed in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover and Fred Joyner of Kodak Laboratories during experiments to make a transparent plastic suitable for gun sights.[1] Although not appropriate for the gun sights, they did find that cyanoacrylates would quickly glue together many materials with great strength. Seeing possibilities for a new adhesive, Kodak developed "Eastman #910" (later "Eastman 910") a few years later as the first true "super glue."

I feel your fear and pain, but have you ever tried stitching yourself. It takes a lot of nerve and choking down the pain to do it right. Staples are easier with the little stapler they come in. Just line it up, look away if you have to, and squeeze.

Either stapling or stitching yourself is difficult to stomach, but staples need less skill to do. If it seems to hard to do, just go to the doc. If you are making a FAK, staples are the way to go. They are simpler and easier than stitches, and not just on yourself but on your companions too.

Actually what happened is I was out hunting with a friend and decided to shoot a plastic milk jug that was laying on the ground (it was a SLOW rabbit day) and didn't notice the stuff behind the sage brush and the pellets came back at me. Three dinged my safety glasses, one skirted just under the skin on the bottom of my nose between the nostrils, two more caused red marks on my neck and one went in about an inch below my eye. The hole going in shrank dramatically, you wouldn't believe how much trouble I had digging that thing out.

Did you know the silencers have shocks on them? I was wondering how the extra weight of the suppressors didn't affect the cycling of the weapons especially on a Glock where the barrel tilts every cycle. Then, the gun dealer showed me how there is a "shock" on the silencer that gives about an inch.

Let's see. Tonight, we've had a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a pretty severe assault, a traffic stop that we got a bunch of pills out of, and now out with a truckload of illegals that have a pile of marijuana on them.

I'm ready to go home!

This has a title of "Come on springtime"!, but we haven't really had a winter here yet. Sure it's been cold a few days, but nothing like the winters I remember as a kid growing up.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/08/12 05:37 PM

Used to having ice 4-6 inches thick in the winter wasn't unusual. Now, I don't remember the last time, maybe 3 or 4 years ago we had some ice getting close to 4 inches thick.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/08/12 05:44 PM

About time for me to call it a night. I might be on here again after I get home, depends on if Patty has anything planned or not.

But If I don't make it back here until later on, Y'all have a nice day, full of sunshine and joy. May all your days be trouble free and may you always find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Peace and rest to you and all those you know and love.

I like Tebow. Not the most gifted qb, but he's got a will to win like few others. I don't expect the Broncos to get past the Patriots, but I didn't think they would beat the Steelers either.

On the reply to your question in the other thread.

I am doing well thanks. Family is good but had a hectic time over December getting engagement plans in order. I almost picked up a Busse Basic 4, but funds did not allow that. Other then that I am well. How are things with you.

Been busy with work. Hectic busy and working on a crappy site.

December 23, 1986 my wife (girlfriend then) and i went to do some shopping in Bellingham, the border guard said
you cant afford that car (I had been working for over a year at a union job)
8 1/2 hours later they let me leave.

I'm sorry that Our Politicians have made it so difficult for you to visit here. We need to Foster better relationships with our Northern Neighbors, not try and keep you guys out.
December 23, 1986 my wife (girlfriend then) and i went to do some shopping in Bellingham, the border guard said
you cant afford that car (I had been working for over a year at a union job)
8 1/2 hours later they let me leave.
the interior of my car was sitting on parking lot, they wouldn't even lend me a wrench to put my seats back in.
Refused to visit the US again until 7 or 8 years ago when i had to for work

Now there is absolutly NO call for that. Now If they found you were smuggling drugs, I figure OH WELL. BUT if a law abiding citizen (of ANY country) if found clear of drugs like that THEY should either put the vehicle back together, or PAY TO HAVE IT DONE FOR THE OWNER!

As a visitor entering the US I have no rights, and my story is not all that uncommon.
Border Services are not required to fix a car they have taken apart.

The last time i drove to the US was about 4 years ago my brother was trying to get me to buy property by his place (before he sold)
After almost 3 hours at the border the guard sad to me in front of my wife and kids
I would like to keep you longer but I dont have a legal reason to.

Bare in mind I am always polite and honest with them

The worse thing that happened to me in the US was back in about 1985.
It was just before hunting season and i went across the line to a well known sporting goods store.
I was standing in line for the checkout when the guy in front of me and the clerk got into a conversation about "those northern wetbacks" when I got to the clerk I asked for the manager.
When he came over I told him to ask his clerk why this northern wetback was leaving the $500 worth of gear on the table instead of buying it.
I never went back there, the store closed a couple of years later

A lot of stores in Bellingham went bankrupt when the canadian dollar hit 65 cents us and canadians stopped shopping in the us

Funniest border story
Just after my first flight to the uS, my wife and i decided to go to Seattle for the weekend.
i was working afternoons so by the time I got home, changed, ate and such we didn't hit the border until about 3AM.
We drive up to the booth and no one is there, we wait for about 5 minutes nothing.
We don't know what to do, we can't move forward, can't move back.
Then we see a door open inside the building and a head pop out, the door then closes.
The door opens back up and the guy is adjusting his belt as he walks through the front door.
Comes to the passenger side window, asks us what we are doing, then he tells us to go ahead.
He then turns around and heads back in, my wife swears he was unbuckling his belt again before he hit the door

We think we caught him short

Earlier you talked about having a passport. That is something I have never had. While I was in the Military one wasn't required for the places I went to. Even going to and from Japan as long as I had a copy of my leave form I was good to go. Going on Temporary duty to Korea was also no problem, I was on official orders and always flew military transport.

We (the U.S.) tend to gauge the rest of the world by OUR ideals, something that cannot be done. Many of us, unfortunately HAVE become the Ugly American!

Take care, best wishes on the engagement/marriage plans and WATCH YOUR BACK!

Thanks Randy, I will and I hope Patty gets much better!

The black handled knife is the 4th one of the Burger EXK knives I own. Really great knives and maker. It is the closest knife I consider to be something like a Bob Terzuola folder for a good price (locally).

Here is a pic just for you.

About 80% of the platinum and 20% of the palladium mined each year are produced from these horizons.

Sad thing is (for us) is that I'm not really sure what is keeping our economy afloat except the world's belief that we can continue the way our economy is now.

ANY idiot (yes I reckon I am calling the President of the United States an Idiot) knows you can't continue to spend more than you make. ONE day there won't be anybody that believes you have the ability to pay at least the interest, and that is ALL we are able to pay now.

That is true, but I really need to get one for buying from other stores as well.

Ash it is! It was the first Busse I ever saw and it knocked my socks off!

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/11/12 05:39 PM

Folks that have the Ash blades really like them, at most of the folks. Some have said that the blade had to much width (edge to spine) for them. It all depends on what you plan on using it for. And It is a nice looking knife.

there's always the prepaid credit cards... I used one about 10 years back for a bunch of online stuff I was ordering. i guess it's about like paypal in the sense you are paying to use your money online with a bit of security.

i think I may end up grabbing another one soon because I'm paypals policies have always sucked.

It appears that now the DHS has a section that will be "Eavesdropping" on internet traffic, (social networks are already being tracked), twitter and emails of JOURNALISTS, that they are going to be spied on so the government can gain and maintain "Situational awareness".

It really was. We saw it coming on the radar up out of South Carolina, and you could see it building. Weather people were putting out the alerts at least a half hour before it hit, I think that's why nobody was killed.

We have pretty reliable reports that it crossed over I40, and it did it during one of the busiest times of the day. Only two cars damaged, and those by a tree that fell when they were stopped because of the limited visibility.

Nope not really, only when there is a major rain storm coming it reaches 25km per hour (about).

Other part of the country (Cape Town) can reach up to 65km/hour.

That is pretty much it really. No hurricane type winds or such, we dont have earth quakes as well.

Tonight: A 20 percent chance of snow showers before midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 18. West northwest wind between 11 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.

And here I was just talking about we really haven't had any bad weather yet.

This was a path about 250 yards wide and 15 miles long, just hitting the tops of the hills mainly. It was pretty amazing how it destroyed one house and left the one next door untouched.

Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 31. West northwest wind between 9 and 13 mph.

It was WINDY Thursday, made it feel a lot colder.

I rememember Hurricane Hugo tearing up Jack here back in 1989, but it mainly got trees and power lines. It was still a hurricane, although barely, when it hit here. Charlotte got torn up pretty badly in that one.

It hit us and we're 200 miles inland. Quite the storm.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/13/12 01:01 PM

The bigger storms can really carry inland. Even here, if there is a big one that hits the gulf coast, from LA. to AL. or even part of TX., we are prone to get at least something out of it. Mainly rain, but we have got some fairly strong winds.

Change of subject, but I've been carrying this edc fak in a metal soap container and I really like it. I've already used it about a half dozen times, mostly for meds, (sudafed and Tylenol) and it doesn't really bother me. Course I wear blue jeans all the time and they have a bit larger pockets.

My "Kit" is like one of those plastic soap containers you can get but it's made out of metal with a hinged lid.

Sharpening kit, first aid kit, pistol and ammo, paracord, flashlights, couple knives, and in the winter I carry extra gloves and toboggans. I usually have a short roll of duct tape and some WD-40 in there too.

I carry four flashlights between my pockets, my bag and my truck. Four knives minimum, spread out the same. My Glock 19 stays in my bag while I'm working, but if I'm out and about it's usually on my belt. Then the rest of the load stays in the bag.

My EDC pocket light is a Fenix PD20, with a Streamlight MicroStream in my multi-tool case. A Fenix TK-11 is in my bag, and a Maglight 3D LED light in my truck.

Knives, I carry a Kershaw Blur in my front right pocket, a S&W boot knife in the instep of my boot, and I've always got one or two in my bag.

I am seriously pondering attendance, but don't know what the schedule is for that day. I had considered Southwest Airlines $99 each way....fly in early, bail in the evening (or possibly Sat AM).

I really wanted to carpool with everyone, but not sure staying 3 nights is a reality for me right now (Lucas is expected on Feb 24!)...so I'll be busy cleaning poo.

The bladeshow website is the one throwing me off...didn't find any "friday" scheduling information....just Sat / Sun.

She's had some kind of creeping crud that has been going around, stuffy nose, chest congestion that sort of thing, but she is starting to come out of it after about 4 days.

Not right now, It may be down for the count. I need to check and see if the coil is putting anything out. If THAT is the problem it won't be bad (It won't start) but if it's anything more than that, I just don't know. It's 22 years old with almost 200k on the clock, it's getting tried.

what engine does it have

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/14/12 01:50 PM

6 cylinder, but NOT the HO. The engine still does really great, so does the running gear, most of the problems we've had are electrical, except for the stupid cooling system. You can't let it idle for very long in the summer time or it will over heat.

An hour after I get off this morning, I am getting our taxes done. I hope our tax lady was right last year, she said she didn't think I need to increase our deductions.

PLUS this year we're getting a monthly increase in our pay. I'm getting a 48 dollar increase in my military retirement and patty is getting 39 dollars more on her disability. PLUS I think we are getting a 750 dollar a year raise here at the Sheriff's office.

Yeah they are. IF I could keep the electrical part going AND had a 3 0r 4 core radiator it would keep me going for a long time. But you got to look at the age Vs the cost of upkeep.

Yeah it does. The reason Patty divorced him is that he was abusive to her, mentally AND physcially. I HATE men(or at least they claim they're men) that do that to women and or kids.

There is only ONE KIND of Honor killing. Doing so to preserve the life or lives of others.

Whenever you have some power over others, it is VERY VERY difficult to not, in time, to consider it your "Right" or that the laws you are applying to "Them" does not apply to you. It is something you must always be aware of until it becomes automatic for you to NOT think that way any more.

I don't think that it is removing the evil, just YOUR responsibility. The evil is still there, but you have removed the act, the blame of being evil from yourself.

Some times we become lost in the old ways.

Just like one day the daughter asked the mother why she always cut off part of each end of a ham when she baked it. Mom said "Well that is the way Grandma always did it". One day Mom asked Grandma (her mom) why. Grandma/mom said "The hams were always to fit in the pan"!

I am agnostic, and this may sound strange or hypocritical but I do believe in universal good and evil.

We often (Incorrectly) say "Blank" are wrong or bad, when what we actually mean is "The leadership", not the Ordinary people who for the most part just want to be left alone to live their lives in peace with others.

I was thinking about this just yesterday
I am agnostic, and this may sound strange or hypocritical but I do believe in universal good and evil.
I don't know how or why, as a non-believer I can say it is just a constant from the human condition, but the reality is that I just don't know.

Sometimes I feel the same way, sometimes though I feel as though the intension is what is good or evil, not people or even the end result of their actions. I sway in between both , I think if you do something out of hate or anger or trying to control another person etc. that is causing the fabric of humanity to decay and can be called evil, on the other hand, things done out of love, compassion, caring and ( usually) bettering mankind as a whole and are what I would call " good"

Yote, NONE of us really knows for sure. All we do is pick what we want to believe (or not believe)(which for the most part is based upon our upbringing). Even folks who say there is NO God, still (well at least most of them) believe in good and evil just like you do.
I have had conversations with believers that cannot understand how someone can be moral if they do not believe.

I don't know the answer

I struggle with not "Hating" someone just because they are this or that, or believe this way or that way, or that they are a member of that or not a member. But it is hard to separate the person from "The act", at least for me.

Being a believer, I don't find your statement difficult at all. As you said earlier, for what ever reason, MOST people in the world DO believe in a universal right or wrong. It will just differ somewhat by our "Teaching or upbringing".

This is one of the things that defines us as being human.
One of the things that defines us as being "good" is to recognize our own faults and try to overcome them.

One year while I was gone they got either 22 or 22 inches of snow within a 24 hour time period. Now Mom and Dad only live 1 mile from where Dad worked before he retired (in '94). The road was as straight as an arrow and as flat as a board. He had a 4x4 pickup and JUST barely made it home from work after they realized it was going to be a BAD snow. They were stuck at home for either 3 or 4 days.

Fortunately for us, we would only need to travel a max of about 30 miles. That is to the largest city in this area of the state, Cape Girardeau which is located on the Mississippi river. Other than that our travel distance is only 15 miles as that is how far my work is from home.

Salmon is good. When I was stationed in Idaho, our supervisor snagged Chinook Salmon as they ran up the river. He smoked a lot of the meat and it was pretty tasty. I caught a lot of trout up there, and boy was it tasty too.

Best trout I've ever had was fixed on a grill wrapped up in tinfoil with onions, peppers, some lime juice and of course salt and pepper.

When I was in Idaho we would go out to the Military marina on the C.J. Strike reservoir and catch striped perch. One day we caught 88 and filleted all of them. Boy they were good eating when drenched in tempura batter and deep fried.

Now that you mentioned his name, I've heard about him some. I THINK I saw as short blurb about him once. Is he the guy that built a cabin all alone using only hand tools. I remember he carried in his wood drill bits and axe(s) without any handles on them to save packing weight and made the handles when he got there.

Now that you mentioned his name, I've heard about him some. I THINK I saw as short blurb about him once. Is he the guy that built a cabin all alone using only hand tools. I remember he carried in his wood drill bits and axe(s) without any handles on them to save packing weight and made the handles when he got there.
That is him
iirc his book was called One man's wilderness

One side effect of being on here is that every time we go "Out and about" I am always looking around determining how this place, or that place would do for a "Get outta Dodge" site. I am always evaluating the amount of downed trees for building materials/firewood and areas prone to flooding and availability to a food and water source. Kinda fun.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/15/12 02:12 PM

he also did a film himself that was about an hour long, it is on youtube
it is good but no where near as good as Alone in the Wilderness is.
The guy that made Alone finished it just before Dick died.
iirc he showed Dick the film a week before his passing

And I just thought of something. I have been seeing a lot of little aluminum "Tea Balls" at the flea markets. I think I need to get one and put in my BOB. It would be handy for a lot of things. You could even line it with a paper towel and use it to brew coffee.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/15/12 02:43 PM

Ok, NOW it makes sense. I've got both an antibacterial and burn cream in my larger IFAK, but just wanted something small in my edc one to put on a small cut before applying a band aid. It's really not necessary for my edc kit, but I've got room so figured why not.

See, I told you I'm still new at this stuff. AND Patty is starting to appreciate the benefits as well.

the most important thing about a burn is to cool the area a quickly as you can and then keep the area clean.

Yeah we had some of that, but this stuff cools and also has a minor pain killing ingredient in it. Patty says it works pretty good.

Last time I flew commercial would have been when I flew into St Louis from Japan, WAYYYYYYY back in 1991. (and I had a (oops make that a BENCHMADE) butterfly knife in my back pocket). That was my carry blade for about 8 years.

how do you keep your soapdish closed?

I used dollar store plastic soapdishes for a while and used ranger bands to keep them closed.
Red dish was fire starting
Blue was water purification
Yellow was fak

Well Like I said, it is made of metal and has a lid that hinges. It fits tight enough that it just stays closed (although I have bent the inside lip ever so slightly to add just a tiny bit more tension on it) Works really well for me. I found it at a flea market and have had my eye on it for over a year but wouldn't pay the price. The finally reduced it by about half (to $6.00) so I quit messing around and bought it after I figured out it would make a good edc fak.

Mix up a good dollop of butter with some honey and spread that over your waffles! That should help get you started.

I miss having the check from the gub to blow but I'll be talking to my tax lady later this month. don't know how thats gonna look.

suns coming up... grocery stores usually make a good breakfast during the week but I don't think they do sunday's. gonna go check but if they don't then I'm racking up on the breakfast supplies and probably shove a year or so worth of butter in my body.

was in luck. the store I decided to go to does do sunday breakfast. you reapply can't beat one of these breakfasts for 3 bucks. and they don't spare the butter that's for sure.

no waffles but I'll take a real biscuit any day.

and man do they pile it up!

Me either. Last time I did anything besides replace a light switch, is when my hand slid down on the shank of a 10 inch screw driver while I was tightening down the last wire on a 220 box. Oh, did I mention that it had been raining and the ground was saturated, as in water puddles! And OF COURSE, knowing what I was doing I didn't turn the power off. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

All that happened was that I let go of the screwdriver REAL quick.

Oh and I had ahold of the conduit so I could REALLY get the screw tight.

My wife usually appreciates my sense of humor. But not today. She decided "we" were going to Costco. With my bum knee, she informed me that instead of having me limp around I had to ride around in one of the motorized carts. Not my thing but she wasn't taking no for an answer. Mostly because she planned to spend 2 hours there and I would start bitching at about 30 minutes.

Halfway into the Costco torture she decides I am watching her purse and throws it in the basket. Well I grab a pen and paper and make my shopping list and set it out for all to see.

Duct tape
Rope
Ski mask
Vaseline
Ether???????
lighter fluid

They nearly always have smoking deals on cree led lights, I picked up a enoloop (sp) battery charger with 8 AA's and 4 AAA's for about 10 bucks cheaper than i could find it online.

Mine was an intermitent problem that started in April. But I have nearly no cartildge on my kneecap itself. They didn't realize that when they did the MRI. They thought it was just a tear. It looks like shredded pork once they got a camera in there.

They want to do some crazy stuff to fix it. Honestly I would rather just have a fake kneecap thrown in and be done with it.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/17/12 12:42 PM

[censored], knee problems are a major pain. I also struggled with my knees due to my weight. Was 286 pounds. Down to 215 today. No more pain. Took me 4 years. Swimming is a great, no impact full body workout. I also started doing bodyweight training. There is a website globalbodyweight (I think) that got me started with these last few pounds.

Excersising out side really does help. Ni gym fees, fresh air. I feel the pain for you guys. Inside for to long and depression starts. The hardest part of getting out there is the first 2 weeks. But it is so worth it.

Good luck with that knee and I know you will get back out there!

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/17/12 12:47 PM

never had any knee problems but starting to worry lately. my dad used to complain about his knees and the air conditioner running too cold. over the last year I noticed that if I let the air run cold while I'm sleeping when I wake up both my knees will pop. not just any old popping... its actually very loud. like bone breaking loud. no pain but man it's freaky to hear something on your body pop like that.

biggest i have been was around 235. at 6'3" i never saw it as being that much but I saw the gut and lost 20 pounds just for that. was supposed to start working out to get rid of the other 15 and put on some muscle last year. just never got full steam. hope to give it another shot this year but still keep putting it off.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/17/12 01:01 PM

Too cold air is not good for ones joints. Ideally when one has some joint pain alternating between hot and cold is the best way to go. Maybe try to sleep without the aircon and just fan for one night and see what happens?

Congrats on losing the gut! Aparrently it reduces the risk of heart attack by 60 percent according to my GP.

I was pretty hungry and pretty much wiped out everything I had in the kitchen for that whole week.. forgot about the whole metabolism thing and the fact that I was goning to need more fuel if I was going to be burning that much more energy. sad but true...

I'm usually fine with the ac. just every now an then all things align like the sun not coming out that day so it gets cooler than expected. that's when I wake up to... snap! snap! maybe once or twice every couple months. pretty loud and sounds like it should hurt but doesn't. just have to be more causious and I'm not taking take it too lightly. don't ever want to have shot knees even though one of the has some issues from a childhood accident. I just take care to not stress it more than I should. also been working right so far... knock on wood!

Jip, getting in shape requires a different diet and eating healthy can be expensive. A balanced diet and nutrition is very important. I learned that the hard way last year. Malnutrition resulted in a hospital trip.

I really need to lose about 100 lbs to be where I wanna be. I'd love to get down to 240 or so. Still too big, I know, but it would be much better than where I am now.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/17/12 01:24 PM

I was at 200 lbs in middle school, but I stayed there while I played football through high school. My downfall was discovering beer.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/17/12 01:30 PM

when I start up again I plan to keep some prepped food in the fridge to keep me going without tapping out my groceries for the week. learn to make salsa and bean dip. prepare a lot of rice dishes that will keep me going when I want to snack.

but I'm stupid happy I got fast food and soft drinks out of my diet. I never was much of a snack buyer so chips and cookies and that kind of stuff was never really around. im even way back on alcohol versus 2-3 years ago. I think if I can make exercise a habit then I should be able to keep this streak going. never been in a hospital for more than a few hours for anything. again I'm knocking...

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/17/12 01:33 PM

Snacks are a big part of my problem. We sit around and do nothing all night, and sometimes we eat just out of boredom. I don't do many soft drinks anymore, usually drink water or Crystal Light lemonade.

beer! yup... when I stopped moving the fast food and beer stacked in on heavy. I'm blaming beer and inactivity for still being over 200 right now. im usually 212-214 noe but I'm pretty sure I can be at 200 in two weeks pretty easy if I commited to it.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/17/12 06:21 PM

I feel for ALL of US with a weight problem.

But the last couple days have been even more stressful.

We found a water leak Sunday afternoon. I couldn't fix it so off with the water.

While trying to fix it Monday I created a larger problem by bumping a different like and causing it to break at a fitting. I finally called a plummer, but he didn't answer. He finally answered and came out. Problem solved. About 2 hours later we hear an explosion. Something gave way. Off with the water again. He called back about 0730 this morning and was here in about 20 minutes, he had forgot and left his phone on vibrate as they had been at a funeral. HOPEFULLY it will last. He said did doesn't like a couple fittings he had to use but has to drive 30 miles one way to get the kind he does like. He'll be back some time. Hope it all holds together.

I tend to stress out about things like this.

SO, how goes the Yard?

Well SO FAR, he is going to come back later on with some sort of fittings that he says are better. In a small town like this it is hard to find items that aren't used that much. folks just tend to use the easiest to use items, not thinking about a more permanent fix.

Re: Come on springtime! - 01/17/12 09:53 PM

I've got what they call bilateral condromalasia patella. (not sure on the spelling, but it's close enough) It's both knees. They wanted to operate on them while I was stationed in the Philippines back in 1976. I talked to a lot of guys that had it done and they all said IF I could avoid it, put it off as long as possible.

Needless to say, I have and it doesn't pop up to often, but when it does I almost fall down. I might have to get it fixed one of these days, just don't know for sure. For the most part I do ok.

I used to compete in the highland games. A strong base is good. I didn't want to go crazy heavy with squats because I wanted to protect my back. I tried not to squat more than 400lbs. I didn't want to deal with the back injuries. The leg press sounds more impressive than it really is. I couldn't come near that much live weight. But ramped it was cake.

Time for some lunch! I brought a country fried steak sandwich from home, Yum yum, with applesauce for desert.

When we go to Ryan's steakhouse for the smorgasbord, I always try and get the baked fish. Don't know what kind they use, and it probably varies, but I like it anyway, usually. And I usually hit up the shrimp pretty hard as well.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/18/12 01:19 PM

Around here, it's mainly fried fish. Doesn't matter what kind of fish, it's rolled in flour and deep fried.

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/18/12 01:19 PM

I prefer catfish filet myself, but flounder is pretty good too.

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/18/12 01:21 PM

I love boiled shrimp too, with some good cocktail sauce. Peel and eat, yum yum!
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/18/12 01:25 PM

I used to use cocktail sauce all the time, but here the last few years I have been forgoing it. It masks the taste that I eat the shrimp for.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/18/12 01:32 PM

I put it on all shellfish, just out of habit. When we do shrimp at home, I make my own cocktail sauce out of horseradish and ketchup, plus a few other things. I like it hotter than what you get in the restaurants.

Patty's right, you ARE crazy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Haha, when I use any sauce like that at home (usually on fish sticks) I mix ketchup and spicy brown mustard. Not a bad mixture. Tastes close to cocktail sauce but not as twangy.

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/18/12 04:13 PM

In all honesty, I don't need a DF. Most of my chopping is on stuff in the 1/2 to 4 inch at the most range. The SOD would work for this, although not as quickly as the DF. PLUS a lighter blade would be easier (as in more apt to actually carry it) than the DF. I just wish that I could have gotten in on the B10 or B11 bandwagon, actually the B10 I think would have been probably my Ideal Chopper, Size and weight.

Randy 64 F is cold compared to our usual of 71 at night. I am heading to site again where it hits 96 F. Nice and hot again. Come winter and we get 39F.

All and all still great to have the seasons change.

71 wouldn't be bad either, but I have always liked the cooler weather. Don't really think it's because I am to fat, been this way all my life and I was a skinny kid until probably my teens.

Yeah most of those shows I feel are scripted, at least MOSTLY. They might let some things that happen on the spur of the moment get in there, but for the most part they know how it's going to go.

I think two of the "Best" scripted shows like that was West Coast Choppers and Orange County Choppers.

He took out the plastic fitting that were SUPPOSED to work and replaced them with copper ones, so it SHOULD last. I think the problem was that they were hooking up lines to the hot water distribution fitting and just got hot enough to allow them to give just enough to blow off.

This Afternoon: Sunny, with a high near 47. Southwest wind around 6 mph becoming north northwest.

Tonight: Increasing clouds, with a low around 25. North northeast wind between 6 and 11 mph.

Friday: A 20 percent chance of light rain after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 45. East wind between 5 and 8 mph.

Friday Night: A 50 percent chance of showers. Cloudy, with a low around 36. East southeast wind at 10 mph becoming north.

But the Sunny has a LOT of overcast between the sunshine.

NOPE, NOT frozen, just 42 year old copper pipes! And YES, I've been on my back, in water summer AND winter, it still ain't fun. That's why we're so looking forward to getting them replaced! We had been gone one day and when we got back home, NO WATER! Looked under the house, 4 INCHES of water! The main pipe had busted. Took a while to pump all that out and get it even suitable enough to replace the broken piece.

The cost of living in the metro area is around 8-10 grand more per year on average. Dems rule there and they love their taxes. Quality of living isn't better unless you prefer being close to Denver.

Littlton is a nice place though.

I was drinking at the barracks with some friends of mine and one of them immediately put the beer bottle down after taking a huge swig of it. He gingerly spit some beer, some foam, and a large beetle out onto the grass. It had crawled into his beer when he wasn't looking and that was all she wrote. He said he felt it swimming around in his mouth. NASTY!

seeing that made me realize how hard it is to find a good quad rail for a baseball bat... what good is a baseball bat without a infrared bluegreen dot periscope, a triquad grip-o-podamass, a photon highlighter illuminator ion beam, and 3 tone 4 color laser cutting laser???

Posted By: rth548

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/22/12 10:25 AM

The streams I fish are usually too small for kayaks. To get to the fish you get out amongst them. It's not unusual to catch 50-60 in a couple hours of fishing, if no one's hit that stretch of the river recently.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/22/12 10:26 AM

Granted, it's mostly sunperch or bream, but they're fun to catch. Especially with a light fly rod.

I was born and raised right here Todd. But the place My Dad worked for had a really cool owner. He supplied a 3/4 ton pickup with a slide in camper for his employees to use, then a few years later he bought a 25 ft travel trailer and supplied a car to tow it with. The pickup was used along the east coast and the trailer out west. This was AFTER we did the station wagon (the family car) camping out west a couple of years.

i normally dont like rugers but i really like this rifle, plus 308 win is my favorite all around cartridge for this area

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/23/12 08:30 AM

It's a nice looking rifle, that's for sure. And it has gotten a lot of good press. But, a THOUSAND DOLLARS! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I seriously considered buying a 7mm08 quite a few years ago. Plenty of rifle for around here.

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/23/12 08:34 AM

it is plenty big for deer and medium sized game, imo it is the equal to the 270

I've got two 308's, a 600 Mohawk and the Rem 700 VLS. I need to get rid of that thing, it only weighs just over 10 pounds!

The guy I got it from was a hand loader and he worked up some really nice loads for it. That is what I shot when we traded. Haven't shot it since. It might light the heavier bullets as well, I just don't really know for sure.

I tried to get one of those, but the price on the one I found was more than I wanted to pay.

Back when I thought I was going to be stationed at Anchorage after I left Shemya I was going to get a .338. But then my assignment to Anchorage got cancelled on me and I didn't get it. Would have been WAY over kill for this area.

Ok, let's not play cliffhanger, ya gotta tell the story.

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/24/12 03:53 AM

I want to do the 40 miles in 2 days.

I get a wild hair and hike up Pikes Peak every few years. Once you get past the first 3 or 4 miles of the trail its not to bad.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/24/12 04:02 AM

20 miles a day, in THOSE mountains?

Do you start at the bottom of Pikes Peak, or drive up so far and then shanks mare it the rest of the way?
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/24/12 04:10 AM

I start at a trailhead at the base and its a 13 mile hike up. Barr trail. There are crazy people that run it as a marathon. Up and back down. I usually have someone pick me up at the top and ride back down. I hate walking down. Last time I walked down it I busted off the nail on my big toe 6 miles from the bottom. My friend broke his toe right after that.

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/24/12 04:23 AM

One year on vacation, My parents and I (well DAD drove)drove up Pikes peak. We were in a 1961 Ford Falcon stationwagon loaded with camping gear, sort of. Dad had made a pallet in the back, that's where I rode. We had a coleman two burner stove, and a cooler for meat. Dad made a tent sort of thing to fit over the tailgate and extended out about 2 more feet with a plywood base that fit over the tailgate. That is where I slept while Mom and Dad were fully inside. IT WAS A BLAST! First time in my life I played on the snow in either June or July. Course this would be in about 64 or maybe 65.

i actually just got around to cleaning up some tornado damage around my folks house this past week. my dad just left the bottom of his shed sitting back there for 5 years and I was sick of seeing it. kinda wish I had gotten the regulator out there to put it through some paces. I do think I'm going to set aside some of the wood in case I get the urge to chop something.

My problem is that I don't dissolve dissolving stitches, so when I have surgery done they either have to leave the stitches in or open me up to pull them out.
I also don't react well to anesthetics

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/25/12 09:09 AM

I had a stitch that didn't desolve in my finger when the tendon was cut many years ago. I had a big bump on my finger, and after three years of picking and pulling on it I pulled it out...still tied in a loop! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I must have slowly pulled it through the tendon, and it healed itself over that time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/25/12 09:09 AM

The last surgery I had 8 grains was suppose to knock me out.
After 32 grains they had to switch to another version without adrenalin in it because my heart rate was so high (pb was fine)
After 16 grains of this I went out.
I woke up early and they had to finish the procedure using local freezing.

Not the best day I ever had

Both the 411 and 311 ares going to be awesome blades but I'm leaning towards the 411. Also hoping Dan brings back the color choices and adds jungle green blades to the mix.

I'm glad it's going well, we get out of it what we put in. That being said I had my right hip replaced 7/21 and I'm still in therapy 3 days a week plus work fulltime. My hip flexor(?)muscle is still weak so I limp still but it's better and steps are tough especially if I try to step up with the right leg. I'm riding the bike at pt 25min 6 miles and have 20lbs of ankle weights on for leg exercises but only 7-1/2lbs for straight leg raises(very tough). Hopefully soon I'll be done with it.

I did pt on my own until I could drive and was doing it twice a day every day, I had my left hip done 5 months before the right and healed alot quicker, I walked the night of surgery and was one a bike the day after and never really looked back. I don't know why but for some reason this time the muscle isn't strengthening as quickly or not as I can tell.

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/26/12 08:01 AM

My aggravation is there is still some swelling so I don't have full use of the muscles causing a limp. I have freakishly strong legs but tis had to work on any type of cardio with the limp. I think it will take way longer to get back to where I need to be. I was originally led to believe I would be running again in three weeks. I talked to the PT and he said If I start running again nect week it will be very painful and likely re-injure the knee. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/26/12 08:03 AM

I'm not even worried about the pain. That I can deal with. I just don't need to injure myself any worse. I'm hoping this surgery is it. I got the info on the next one they want to do and I want no part of it.

I enjoy the calls in the mountains. No press, very few other people and still doing the job. Most of the time trying to figure out if it was a suicide, homicide or a natural death/accident. The only bad part is the weather is usually bad and usually its dark and you are on a steep slope. Nobody dies in a nice flat meadow.

I don't mind hiking during the day. Even being fat and old, I can pace myself and usually I'm fine. But night hiking is something different. I tend to get a little paranoid in the dark anyway, so it kind of takes all the fun out of it.

I thought I was pretty clever when I was in the Army. I have learned a lot of stuff between then and now. The only thing I had going into the army was field craft. I practically lived in the woods growing up. I could trap, hunt, fish, track and shoot way above what you would expect out of kid that age.

But I have learned so much more about general field craft since then. And I am still learning.

I know they have at least one of the funny guys from Youtube on there. I really don't see the reason to make fun of people who are prepared for whatever comes their way.

Its mainstream now. After what happened with Hurricanes in the U.S. and then the combined issues of people and the Government during Katrina and what happened in India, Hati and Japan I think people are seeing that a little preparation can make a huge difference between suffering and riding out a bad situation.

The more people are prepared the less trouble there will really be. No reason for panic and looting if you have what you need at home. Or your can get on the road quickly.

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/26/12 10:36 AM

That would be about the only thing that would make me leave home. I've got some trees behind the house that need to come down and give me more of a buffer.

I've been working on them lately, but I've let them get a little big to handle by myself. So I have to wait til the boy is off school, like weekends and workdays.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/26/12 10:37 AM

Once I get them down and gone, I'd probably stay put even in a woods fire. Long as I've got a good buffer, I'd be ok.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/26/12 10:39 AM

I was on the edge of the hayman fire. I don't think a buffer would have made a difference. I had a healthy buffer but the smoke and heat from everything being on fire didn't spare much. There are places where nothing is growing because the ground was sterlized from the heat. It was an interesting thing to witness and see the after affects.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/26/12 10:42 AM

Fires are a little different around here than they are out there. Biggest fire I can remember was a little over 4,000 acres, but most are 10-20 acres at most. Unless they get into dead timber, they burn low and slow and are easily contained.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/26/12 10:44 AM

We keep a fire line cut around the place all the time, about a 50 ft wide buffer cut close with no tall grass or trees, and hardwoods around that so there's not much dead stuff laying around other than leaves.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/26/12 10:45 AM

I think the total for hayman was 138,000 acres. It was brutal. It was traveling and burning across the tree tops. Live trees.

Well a Dog offered me a LONG TERM LOAN of an SS4 with satin blade and Gray mudder grips! Only stipulation is that when I decided to send it back I had to make sure it was sharp.

Boy I wanted to latch on to that, but can't. I just can't use something that belongs to someone else that I MIGHT damage. Here this dog ONLY knows me from this forum, yet is willing to take it on faith that I wouldn't, well you know, him.

This one excludes canning. But does have lactic fermenting, oils, sugar, salt, vinegar, burying, root cellars, differnt kinds of drying /dehydrating etc. Pretty neat stuff.

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/26/12 11:53 AM

A lot of it isn't really that hard, but one word of warning, IF it calls for canning salt, don't use Iodized salt instead. Regular UN Iodized salt MIGHT work, but the other doesn't. Patty found that out before we got married. The whole batch of stuff spoiled.

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/26/12 11:57 AM

I have canning salt, pickling salt and uniodized salt. Plus the regular stuff from the store. You can get 25lbs of salt from the store for about 5 bucks.

Salt doesn't go bad unless its contaminated.

Re: Come on wintertime! - 01/26/12 12:04 PM

The biggest thing they warned about was if it needed water was to not use chlorinated water. They say it won't work with chlorinated water. It keeps it from reaching the acidic levels needed for preservation.

1 is a black and white type of guy that doesn't believe in anything he doesn't see. He also found tracks

Hopefully it goes easy on you. Do you dispatch for fire and medical also?

I can do without stuff like that! We're down to 4 deputies tonight instead of our usual 8. If something major hits we're probably gonna be in trouble.
No, we only do sheriffs office right now, thank Goodness

I just walked outside since Sarge came in for a minute, the rain is pouring and the flags are standing straight out. I'd guess 15-20 mph is all, for now.

Probably gusting to twice that though. Just a guess, but I'm close.

We were getting 85 mph gusts last week. But thankfully no damage.

Re: Back once again! - 01/27/12 10:12 AM

If we get 85 mph gusts here, every road would be closed from the pines falling on them. They don't hold up to much wind.

Re: Back once again! - 01/27/12 10:13 AM

We have pines and Aspen. The only thing that drops branches faster is cottonwoods. I didn't lose a thing. But I think if it had been higher sustained and not just gusts we would have had problems.

Last one I killed was kind of gamey tasting. I guess it was because he was an older deer. Usually a yearling doe is the best for eating.

My dad taught me how to cook deer meat, since Mom wouldn't touch it. I'm ok with it, but this last one just wasn't good meat. I've only had gamey tasting deer meat twice, and both times it was older bucks.

Back when I was growing up there weren't a lot of deer around in this area. You could only get ONE each season. Had two parts to the season, Either Sex or Bucks only.

Re: Back once again! - 01/27/12 04:27 PM

From Wikipedia, this:

Modern history

The Philippines has what is known as a blade culture. Local folk in the Philippines are much more likely to carry knives than guns. They are commonly carried as tools by farmers, used by street vendors to prepare coconuts, pineapples, other fruits and meats, and balisongs are cheap to procure in the streets as well as being easily concealed. In the language of Palau, the term for Filipino is chad ra oles which literally means "people of the knife" because of Filipinos' reputation for carrying knives and using them in fights.

Oh man...that sounds like no fun. I hope you get to feeling better. Maybe some good rest will help.

I had thought about a yard keeper, but I think the blade profile is a lot like the soon to be 411, just a tad to "Fat" for me. I reckon I'll hold out for an SS4. BUT if I don't get one, I've still (and will continue to have) my Muppy #105!

What a rough night. The puppy was sick and kept us up until about 4, maybe 4:30. She had a bad belly ache and just couldn't settle down. We finally wound up giving her some pain medicine and that either relaxed her enough or knocked her out but she finally settled down about 20 minutes after we gave it to her. It's some kind of pain liquid from the Vet.

FMLA covers you for 12 weeks a year and thats it. AFter that they can give you the boot. They would cover me for as long as I have time. Roughly 6 months then I would be SOL. With no income and no insurnace I would be done.

Re: Back once again! - 02/01/12 06:51 AM

Just in case you were wondering about western NC barbecue, I looked it up on Wikipedia:

Each Southern locale has its own particular variety of barbecue, particularly concerning the sauce. North Carolina sauces vary by region; eastern North Carolina uses a vinegar-based sauce, the center of the state enjoys Lexington-style barbecue which uses a combination of ketchup and vinegar as their base, and western North Carolina uses a heavier ketchup base. Lexington boasts of being "The Barbecue Capital of the World" and it has more than one BBQ restaurant per 1,000 residents.[citation needed]

Another distinguishing characteristic of Lexington barbecue is barbecue slaw, which has no mayonnaise, is composed of cabbage, ketchup, vinegar, and black pepper. Eastern North Carolina slaw contains cabbage, mayonnaise, yellow mustard,and salt with pickles and/or celery seed optional. Slaw can be served either on the side or in a sandwich. South Carolina is the only state that includes all four recognized barbecue sauces, including mustard-based, vinegar-based, and light and heavy tomato-based.[15] Memphis barbecue is best known for tomato- and vinegar-based sauces.[16] In some Memphis establishments[16] and in Kentucky, meat is rubbed with dry seasoning (dry rubs) and smoked over hickory wood without sauce; the finished barbecue is then served with barbecue sauce on the side.

The barbecue of Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee is almost always pork served with a sweet tomato-based sauce. However, several regional variations exist as well. Alabama is particularly known for its distinctive white sauce, a mayonnaise- and vinegar-based sauce, originating in northern Alabama, used predominantly on chicken and pork. A popular item in North Carolina and Memphis is the pulled pork sandwich served on a bun and often topped with coleslaw. Pulled pork is prepared by shredding the pork after it has been barbecued.

Re: Back once again! - 02/01/12 07:09 AM

Todd I believe I have asked you repeatedly not to rub it in. I do pulled pork , my favorite bbq dish by the way although I like ribs I generally don't order them when out because no one needs to see that degree of carnage.

After all was said and done $600 with a rental car, now I was going to have new tires put on Friday or Saturday another $400 or so and then last night on the way home I had steam coming out from under the hood but it gets better, I get it home and let it cool and add water to check for where the leak is and after 20min of the engine running nothing, so into the radiator shop this morning to have them take a look and I get the call.......... cracked radiator and a cracked engine block <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> $1875 total for the repairs..

I've got a 91 Blazer that I'm trying to decide weather to scrap out or repair. It needs a lot of work, but it's only got a little over 100k on the odometer. Needs mostly small stuff, like a fuel pump, battery, window motors, plus the four wheel drive don't work. Hasn't been driven in years, but I'm thinking about fixing it up for a spare vehicle.

I understand that but mine has been a workhorse since I bought it in 02, when I think about it I can't really complain about the repairs I had to do or have done. I just don't want a car payment for at least another year or so, plus my wife needs a new vehicle soon and once gets one it will be the run and do everything vehicle and my blazer can be the just go to work ride.

She brought home some other brand the other day, so I tried them. Didn't care for them, so I bought a bag of Tyson next time I went to the store. Told her she could eat the other ones, I wasn't gonna eat 'em.

I just checked my pay stub and they are holding out almost $560 in taxes. This is federal, fica/medicare and state. We don't pay into our retirement and luckily our insurance is all paid by the county.

Re: Back once again! - 02/02/12 11:16 AM

Here is what he said.

Quote
I will throw my vote in for the ESEE Lite Machette. If by beater, you mean something that you wouldn't mind breaking or losing, it isn't the right choice at $50+. But, if you mean something that can taking a beating and still hold its edge, it is a great choice. I have had one for years and it has held up well. The sheath that came with it has been replaced with a generic one I picked up at a military surplus store though. As mentioned above, the ESEE supplied sheath sucks.

It's funny Skunk mentioned the Bear Grylls Parang Machete. I noticed them at the base exchange here at 29 Palms. It is the biggest blade they carry. I handled the display one they have out and was impressed. Then, a few days ago, we ran across a group of Seabees who all had them on their packs. Seabees are Naval Mobile Construction Battalions of sailors whose primary job is to build stuff in very unsafe areas. Think well armed and trained construction workers. These men and women can provide their own security in a combat zone and continue building.

The Seabees had nothing but good things to say about the Gerber Parang, and theirs were well used by the looks of them. The only negative thing they had to say about them was the marketing name (Bear Grylls) and the orange handles. The color is good for survival, but not so much for combat. At $19, I am thinking about picking one up while here.

Yeah, didn't get it all setup till last Friday, then was in the Keys, then sick for 3 days, finally feeling back up to speed. The action with the stock lever was rough ( it was also a tight fit) way better with the DRC big loop.

I put an open sight ( it comes with a hooded sight) on there since they said you may need to change it with the higher peep sight, but I'm going to try both, see if the hooded one works

Posted By: lazi

Re: Back once again! - 02/03/12 04:51 AM

think I read the action may come a little grainy but can be butter with a little work.

i have a KelTec sub2000 in .40 which is supposed to give about as much energy as a .357 revolver from what I've read. kept telling myself that's all the small rifle I need. but man those lever actions are just too cool.

I think I would try to do some hunting with one if Was to ever get one. bet it would do a good job on rabbits with .38. if not hunting then probaably run a gang of .38 special through it for giggles.

I have one of the older ported 45/70 guide guns. I have done some work to it. That thing is smooth and fast. I have some Ghost ring sights and drop in trigger from Wild West guns. I have taken a few wild boar in the brush with that rifle. Its great. The natural point of aim with it is perfect for me.

Re: Back once again! - 02/03/12 06:23 AM

well one thing has caught my eye that would put a .357 lever on hold is 300 AAC blackout. the AR15 as 223 just never quite did it for me. but for some reason that round in an AR makes sense to me. just wish it was as popular a round as the others.

still would never cure the lever bug but man it's got me thinking I could own an AR15..

Re: Back once again! - 02/03/12 06:33 AM

I keep forgetting who was making the AR that can switch from 308 to 223 without much hassle. meant to keep watching that one. doubt I could drop the funds on it anytime soon but who knows.

name was mentioned while back in the chatand I found the maker but it's slipped my mind now.

Re: Back once again! - 02/03/12 06:38 AM

I thought 300 AAC was some special subsonic or built for surpressor round since i original saw it called 300 whisper.

recently saw a hickcock video and apparently he thinks a bit like me. just something about 30 caliber rounds in rifles. but I looked into it more and I guess it's pretty much just 7.62 in 223 brass.

Re: Back once again! - 02/03/12 07:14 AM

just watched a video showing the 308 to 223 coversion. appears to be a pattened block that's attached to the 223 upper. I would primarly want it for the 308 but it would only make sense to have plans for another upper. pattened block means sold serperately and $$$ I bet. and technically it's a proprietary lower in the same way apple made the he iPod. only works with everything if you have the componentsto make it work.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Back once again! - 02/03/12 07:17 AM

I had thought they said it would work with any 223 upper. The lower is proprietary. You would need a block for the mag well to accept regular AR mags for the 223.

yup... the block is what allows it to fit in the lower. and it is a pattened block... so if I'm seeing this right they arent really selling AR15's they are selling a new type of AR platform rifle (AR10 maybe???) and Colt conversion blocks. But they are marketing as a convertible AR15. I haven't been listening for it but I wonder if they are acutally calling it a AR15 rifle. They could probaly lead to it all day and never actually say it.

But the iPod was an MP3 player for sure. You just had to have iTunes to use it... Companies always trying to push new proprietary formats as open systems.

I still like the idea of the rifle though... just recognize that Colt is in line to sell more block than rifles and uppers if it takes off. since it appears that the block is actually attached to the uppers....

It's sounds good from what I've read online, it's 4 days of classes ( while camping in the Glades) but its 350 bucks, dunno, I think it will be worth it, seems super information packed, but still pricey ( they call for 10 to 12 hours of learning each day

My male shepherd is a funny dog and probably pretty smart. He starts getting really excited when I was getting the runt dressed up to go play outside. As soon as I open the door for the kid he runs out like a rocket and starts spinning in a circle on the deck. As soon as the runt steps out he stops, sits and waits. Tail going 100 mph. He likes catching snowballs and the runt likes throwing them.

By the time they are done both of them should be good and tired.

I think my place was sheltered. A few miles North or East its a healthy snow and they have roads shutdown. But this morning was letdown. I got up early to plow the drive and a path down the road so my wife could get to work. But there wasn't enough snow to bother.

I will probably do it tomorrow though. It's snowed all day and we will probably pick up another 3-4 inches overnight.

We've got two more payments on the bedroom suit, and less than $200 on our Lowes card I want to get paid off. I figure $500 will take care of it. Plus our house taxes need to be paid, which are another $500 or so. So as long as our tax refund is more than $1k, I'm good.

We don't have the space to park all the vehicles to run the cars hot especially with overlapping shifts. Plus they get free coverage on the way too and from the office. We have roughly 2,100 square miles that we cover so its a win/win.

Not a huge department! Heck it is compared to ours, we have 12 deputies, one is the head jailer, one is the Sheriff, one is the chief deputy, one is the investigator and one is the Drug Task Force member. So we really only have 8 road deputies to patrol 823 sq miles. We have 30K population according to the 2010 census.

According to Wikipedia, our population is about 91,000 in 507 square miles.

We have 124 employees here at the sheriff's office, with about 80 of those being sworn officers, and of those 80 we have 36 full time road deputies. CID has 9 detectives, drug task force has 8 detectives, and the jail/courthouse detail has about 25 officers, but not all of them are sworn. Plus the community guys, school guys and all the admin and clerical staff.

They are also decreasing the amount of the police men.

Re: Back once again! - 02/04/12 01:49 PM

Maybe before I went to the Philippines it was. I have consumed WAY to much liquids since then to remember. BUT I DO remember this one Japanese woman who owned a bar in Tokyo who wanted me to live with her.

Oh, she lived to far away from the base for that to be feasible though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

But she DID have a small room in the back of the bar that I could stay in on the weekends if I wanted.

I think they're plenty good enough to sell to stock photo houses. They hold them and when someone uses them, you get a check. Not a lot of money in it, but if you build a good library you can make a little pocket money.

A lot of people use photobucket. I use flickr as my picture hosting site. Both of these have free usage, as long as you do not have over X amount of pictures (I think flickr is 200).

It is nice at times to be able to post pictures.

Sorry, took the dog for a walk, I don't think so, after after reading the course description for the class down here, ( which is quite different than their class they hold all year long in Ohio ) e one down here just doesn't interest me as much, theres a bit about fire starting, but a lot about making blades out of bone or stone ( which is cool, but I'm not that interested in,) and a bunch about making stuff out of clay. Nothing about making traps or tracking so, meh, dunno

Re: Back once again! - 02/04/12 05:16 PM

Ok, put your curson on your picture and it will bring up like a dropdown. Click on share. then once a screen comes up, along the top click on "get link code". Then go down to HTML for websites & blogs (MySpace, Hi5, Orkut, Friendster, eBay & more) where you will see a full size or clickable thumbnail. check the thumbnail or you might have to check IMG for bulletin boards & forums. Then go back to your picture and you shoud see three blocks below your picture. choose which ever one works.

I hope this works, I am lousy at explaining things I am not familiar with, sorry.

Yeah I don't think I would go for just that type of classes either.

I would be more interested in shelter making, fire techniques, improvised cooking techniques (how to cook different animals without pots and pans), how to boil water in plastic, using stones to boil water etc, and how to make a fire bed.

I wonder about the recoil. AND how hazardous the porting will be to the user. Don't think you would be able to use the ported version if you were to fire it with your gun hand locked against your ribs.

Excellent find! I'd like one of those myself, I think it would make a great bag to carry my camera and one extra lens, plus a bottle of water and a pistol.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Back once again! - 02/05/12 11:12 AM

Yeah, but that almost half inch hole is sure tempting! Plus at the velocity you would be dealing with expansion would probably be very negligible so the bigger the original hole, the better.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Back once again! - 02/05/12 11:14 AM

The fatboy is smaller than I thought it would be though. It's only about half the size of my 511 push pack.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Back once again! - 02/05/12 11:17 AM

Really. Hmmmm, that may make up my mind about the 511 pack then.
Posted By: rth548

Re: Back once again! - 02/05/12 11:21 AM

I don't need a huge pack, but I'd like room enough to carry what I need to.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Back once again! - 02/05/12 11:26 AM

The 511 push pack WOULD carry your camera and you could put an extra lens in one of the side pouches. I carry a 28 ounce Stainless water bottle in one of the side pouches of mine. I did have a 1 liter Stainless bottle setting in a Stainless cup but it was actually to big for the side pouch and didn't set in it very well so I went to the smaller bottle.

The Fatboy won't carry a bottle (unless you put it inside the main pouch), but is sized really well for a "Man Purse" whereas the 511 is more for a light dayhike bag, holding a couple sandwiches, water bottle fire gear etc.

Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Back once again! - 02/05/12 11:33 AM

I think you would be REALLY hard pressed to get a DSLR AND a second lense in the Fatboy without everything having to be jammed together in just the main compartment. With the 511 you could put the camera with lens attached in the main compartment and the extra lense in one of the side pockets.

Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Back once again! - 02/05/12 12:15 PM

OK, here ya go.



OK, predominately a FAK, but I also have some other stuff in it and there is still room. The main pouch still has room (big enough for 3 canned sodas side by side and one laying across the top). So I still have some room to add more "Stuff" Here is the bag, a 511 Push Pack in Dark Earth tone.

[Linked Image from farm6.staticflickr.com]


I guess I should call it a BOB Lite! If I am home it is too. If I am in one of our vehicles, it is too. It is an augmentation to the regular BOB that is still a continuing work in progress. One Day I will be pretty Satisfied with the BOB I am gradually working on for Myself and a smaller one for Patty.

In this BOB Lite I have the standard FAK items and some "Other stuff" as well.

You can see on the top left, a 3 led (2 white and 1 red) cap bill light and a Smiths diamond sharpening rod. Then the black 25oz water bottle and the whistle. The Swamp Warden is velcroed to the flap and a 3 power level ITI (plus strobe) 1aa flashlight on the right side of the bag on the outside of that zippered pouch.

It's a page or so back so here are the contents again

MY MURSE KIT (511 Push Pack)

Yeah when I was looking for a bag around that size I was concentrating on the S type myself. I wanted my strong (right) side open for a handgun/knife carry.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Back once again! - 02/05/12 12:27 PM

S type is designed to sit on your left side. regular goes on your right. They didn't offer the S-type when I got mine and I assumed it was designed for left side carry. It is ok but its more comfortable on the right. I can't stand having anything on my right side except my gun. I have to have that hand free. Man purse on the left, my pistol on the right. Its how I roll. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Can you see the light when looking at the front of your fastfire at night? I want to get a sight like that but don't want to have the target see the light at night. I have a illuminated scope that you can see light through both ends at night.

Re: Back once again! - 02/06/12 07:59 AM

We use M16A4 and M4 with different sights depending on the mission. ACOGs for standard patrols and open area assualt. Red dots for CQB/room clearing.

Re: Back once again! - 02/06/12 08:11 AM

Our standard config is three fireteams in a platoon. Four platoons in a company etc etc then we have attachments like machinegun teams with M240B or M2 50 cal. Then we have support attachments who are not with us in proximity. These are air, artilary and mortar teams. So, what weapons we have is a complex question.

Randy you really have seen a bunch of awesome owls. The Barn Owl is the one with one of the most captivating faces for me. We have some strange ones in SA as well, there is one so scarce and hard to find, it is about the size of a small bird, no larger then ones hand. Will see if I can find pictures tomorrow, the name escapes me now.

Re: Back once again! - 02/07/12 11:34 PM

Well, I will give you the short version. I had been out for a while hunting Elk in the high country. The previous night my friend starts talking about nighthawks and catching by hand when they were on the ground.

Well we are coming down a mountain side in a bunch of scree at night. Sure enough it looks like a nighthawk is sitting amongst the rocks right beside us. Well he decides to show us his technique for catching a nighthawk. keep in mind we have the light from a crescent moon.

He reaches down really slow and the head pops up and its a really small owl. probabaly a pygmy mountain owl or a really small screech owl. It reaches up before he can touch it an bites his finger and holds on. He draws his hand back but its too late and its not letting go. He is trying to shake it off and dancing around trying to keep his balance in the scree on a healthy incline. The thing finally lets go and just flys off. My other friend and I are sitting on our butts laughing because there was no way we could stand up and keep our balance because we were laughing so hard.

Apparently owls bite really hard. Even small ones.

Re: Back once again! - 02/08/12 11:10 AM

Ok Skunk my personal burning man story.


We were out hunting Elk again. We were in an area that’s beautiful but not really good for Elk. I went with the same two guys. We had set up camp and were in a travel trailer that we had hauled up with us.

Tweedle dee and dweedle dum were setting up a fire on sandy area and were having a hard time keeping it going.

I had gone into the trailer to grab a hatchet to cut up some kindling to get the fire going. Tweedle dee and tweedle dum decide that I'm taking to long and Coleman fuel is just the ticket to throw on the coals and spark that fire right up.

Well it just puts it out and then they decide to throw on some more and get a good spark. I was still in the trailer when I hear a solid Whooomp sound and Dweedle dee saying. "Oh that can't be good" I stick my head out of the trailer in time to see the coleman fuel can flying through the air on fire. It made pretty nice arc of flame as it flew through the air.

Tweedle dums right foot pant leg and right arm are on fire from where he threw the flaming can. He even has a nice little flame on the button of his ball cap making him look a little like a large candle.

We Tweedle dee starts scooping up sand and throwing it on tweedle dum. I grab a shovel and start putting the fire out before the forest on fire. Tweedle dum is running around tap dancing because his boot is still on fire and it’s starting to get hot. Fortunately the rest of his has been extinguished.

Tweedle dum sees me coming with the shovel and is afraid I am going to use it on him to stomp out the fire and starts running.

I was laughing so hard while I was putting out the fire that I'm surprised I got it done by myself.

Fortunately no one was hurt but he ruined his shirt and his pants. His face was sooted up enough to make it really funny.

We always have fun But I am usually more successful when I bowhunt by myself. We have some neat stuff happen every year from Mountain lion in camp, a bob cat in my lap and bears screwing with tweedle dee. For some reason they don't like him.

I have done Elk camp by myself for the past few years and in my favorite area. They are planning on joining me this year so it should be a hoot.

I don't, for us the Pink Mountain trips are more about getting away and having fun with friends.
We usually have 4 or 5 in the group but it can be as high as 7.
Funny thing is we get at least one moose 4 out of 5 years on average, which is a high rate for the area.
Last time we went we got two moose and an elk, among four of us.

Re: Back once again! - 02/08/12 11:34 AM

I almost always get into the Elk by myself. Not so much with my partners. They are great guys but they have always want to hunt differnt palces and never scout. They decided on a last minute trip and called me up asking if I would give them my best guess where the elk were that time of year. I got them in a good spot and they ahve decided that maybe being successful is better than nostalgia and being a backcountry tourist.

Whole different mindset when you hunt serious.
I am lucky, I have been hunting with my brothers since we were kids.
The one brother doesn't hunt much, and the other is hardcore, but when we hunt we don't have to talk much because we all know what the plan is.
It is great to not have to think about what your partner is going to do
And it has been great teaching our nephew

Re: Back once again! - 02/08/12 11:45 AM

We usually head our seperate ways during the day when we hunt. But they always want to go places that they have never been or that they haven't scouted. I started going on my own because i got tired of not seeing anything. First year on my own I tagged out on my first day and then about every other year I get one.

Not bad for a bow and Elk on public lands.

I don't follow sports, so it's easy for me to say "It's only a game". I think that many High Schools at least place TO much emphasis on sports, leaving the academic part to fend for itself, something that is detrimental to our entire country.

Re: Back once again! - 02/09/12 12:12 PM

Duke and UNC is probably the biggest rivalry in all of sports, so we get worked up about it usually. In the region here, I'd bet the tv ratings would rival the Superbowl. Not nationally, of course, but locally.

My cousin turned down a scholarship to UNC because they didn't guarantee him a starting spot. He ended up going to UNC-Wilmington and did pretty well there. He's now a 6'10" accountant.

Joke of the day:

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services.

He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"

Took about 20 minutes to fix that (just clicked "fix now" and waited. Thank goodness it worked!
