  1. Past hour
  2. Our folks started to get us involved back in the early 70's, I was in Cub Scouts, my older brother was in Boy Scouts (or whatever the names were at that time) we went to a couple meetings, it was fun and all of a sudden our mom pulled us out with only a vague explanation. Talking to her years later it was because her Mama Bear Radar went off big time when the Boy Scout troop leader started talking about the overnight trips and she saw how some of the boys that had been in for a couple years were acting. I know that millions of young boys had great experiences, learned valuable life lessons and made friends they still have to this day, but the national organization also failed hundreds of thousands of innocent young children and protected predators that you or I would, with a hand on a Bible, tell the investigating officer that "they just slipped and fell off the trial" Everyone has their own theory behind the name change, mine is that they are trying to distance themselves from the $2.5 billion dollar judgment and well deserved bad publicity
  3. There is an online story. West Texas. They found some dinosaur tracks. They have brought down a paleontologist and her crew from The Field museum in Chicago. Mention is casually made of the coolers full of ice and water. And it says that the man that owns the land the tracks are on has his chest freezer full of bags of ice. That makes sense. It does. Except - I have two chest freezers and they're full of food. Why would he have an empty freezer that he could fill up with ice so that they could keep the scientific party hydrated? Who has an empty freezer?
  4. The Only "Boot Camp " is the Marines and they use Drill Instructors except for Air Farce I believe they use Unicorn Activities Coordinator . The rest use "Basic Training"
  5. We must blame the Marshal. He posted a joke about a little girl going to the pet shop wanting to buy a "wittle wabbit", and saying that her python did not care what color his breakfast was. And that had me thinking about the snake swallowing the rabbit, which led to the question.
  6. Bingo. Maybe black powder will come back in style in a big way.
  7. Howdy friends, Truth be told: There is a good chance that we'll have to have the CAS match "up top under the roof." The weather does not look good for Saturday and we're gonna have to make a decision PDQ. It was muddy before all the rain started and it rained all day yesterday. The good news is that the Brunswick Kid and his wife Laura are making pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw, and tater chips. Rumor has it that the 2 greased lightning pards from PA might also be coming! There's a good chance that Lefty of Niles is comin' too! Sounds like a fun and exciting match to me! Mo
  8. Just a question about this subject: what have you been smoking that makes you think of something like this?
  9. Well done commercial. Have seen it multiple times since we have; however, never this full version. Everything I see it I get Thanks for posting @Subdeacon Joe.
  10. I'll try to keep my Impala running until I die. It has some issues, but I've learned to deal with them and it had the largest trunk on the market (My Sicilian friend called a Mafia certified nine body trunk.) except for one MB sedan, has some blind spots where a semi can hide, and gets a whopping 23 MPG average. The little window on the dash that keeps giving me totally stupid messages is annoying and it's very often unreadable because some idiot designed it so glare at any time of the day or night washes everything out. That includes my rear view camera. The front doors are very heavy and my busted up old body has to remember not to park on any slope that forces me to open the driver's side door up even the slightest bit. I can't disable the passenger front window button (I can shut down both rear windows) and my dog can open it and try to get out at eighty miles and hour so I have to be vigilant. The radio controls are so automated I can't work them without parking to change stations. I'll keep iy though because I paid cash for it and it has had very few problems and there are only 39,000 miles on it.
  11. There were a lot of plans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_color-coded_war_plans
  12. It didn’t feel right typing it either. Somehow ‘activities coordinator’ sounds more reasonable.
  13. First thing I do is remove the dust cover and the lever lock from a rifle. Just two things that aren't needed for the rifle to function but can mess up a stage if something goes haywire with either one. I put the pieces in a small ziplock bag and mark it with the rifle's serial number so if I ever want to sell it I can put them back on.
  14. Thanks. I had forgotten Air Force E-1 is slick arm. But even so, really not much better.
  15. That's why there are different sized metric wrenches, just select the metric wrench size that will work best on the itch.
  16. Today
  17. During my 40+ years of electrical work, I had at least 50 or 60 homeowners claim that a switch (or switches) did nothing. In all cases, but one, this wasn't true. Almost all of the supposedly "dead" switches were in bedrooms and controlled either a 1/2 switched receptacle (top or bottom 1/2), a ceiling fan light (fan installed but no light kit) or exterior flood lights. In the one case that this was true, the electrician had installed a 2 gang switch box (I guess by mistake during rough-in) but only had one active switch, the other switch had nothing connected to it and no extra wiring in the box that could be connected to it.
  18. Been available there for about 3 weeks now. I got an email from them when it hit stock. I bought plenty of brass 32-20 from Starline and Midway when it became available back in February.
  19. I have a couple of questions about that meme. Bear with me. Boot camp? Air Force? Boot camp is Navy. Marines are navy also, so they go to boot camp. But I thought the Army went to basic training and since the Air Force used to be the army I assumed they also went to basic training. Boot camp? Then the comment. DI. In the Air Force? Again, the Navy has drill instructors. If you can believe Forrest Gump (the scene where he's tearing his rifle down then putting it back together in basic. "You taught me drill sergeant."), the Army has drill sergeants. I don't know what the Air Force has but drill instructor doesn't sound right.
