  1. I am looking forward to the leaked photos of the Nazi moon base as described in that movie documentary Iron Sky.
  2. I don’t like carrying a gun in a pants pocket. I have tried carrying my S&W 442 and my Sig P365 and I don’t like it. In the past I tried my KelTec P3AT and it was just fine in my front jeans pockets but I didn’t like it in my cargo pants. It may be that nerve damage in my right thigh makes a gun banging into my leg makes it annoying. I have also tried other pockets and carrying a gun in a pocket just annoys the hell out of me.
  3. I REALLY HATE THE STUPID MERGE FEATURE THAT APPEARS TO HAVE NO EXACT TIME WINDOW WHEN THE FUNCTION TURNS OFF AND YOU CAN MAKE ANOTHER POST WITHOUT IT RANDOMLY MERGING UNASSOCIATED POSTS TOGETHER. I HAVE ASKED A NUMBER OF TIMES; 1. Why do we have that stupid feature? 2. How do we get it turned off? 3. Why in the hell is it there in the first place? IF WE HAD A KNOWLEDGABLE ADMIN MAYBE I MIGHT GET ANSWERS…
  4. Believe it or not my wife and I found the house we rent in West Virginia on Zillow. When we were prepping for retirement in California we decided to rent a house in WV for a year before buying a home. Well, we’re still renting that same house. Anyway, the point is websites that deal in home sales also list rentals. https://www.zillow.com/bisbee-az/rentals/ https://www.zillow.com/tombstone-az/rentals/ Good luck to you in finding a nice place to live and your new job.
  5. I wonder if I can get one made to look like this: At least the bottom part of the holster where the barrel is.
  6. Awe. Poor girl. I really hope she makes it through with no residual medical issues.
  7. Disgraceful? You’re darn right it’s disgraceful.
  8. I would like a Pineapple one but with a twist. I want it to be pineapple on pizza…
  9. That is very true. I became fixated on finding that dot. I estimated 1 to 2 seconds in firing delay in many attempts. And I had both eyes open. Anyone want a Monstrum Nitro red dot cheap?
  10. I had several teachers that refused to address kids by their nicknames. I hated being called Thomas, but in some of these schools I went to I had to deal with ignorant adults that just couldn’t let a kid be an individual. By the time I got into high school I had had enough of this. I had a teacher, well, I won’t use her real name here. We’ll call her Mrs.Aster, Mrs Jane Aster. Mrs Aster started taking role my first day in her Wnnflish class and she got to me and said “Thomas blah blah” I said “Here, but I prefer to be called Tom” Mrs Aster said “Young man, we will be using given names here. The given name first followed by the surname. There will be no nicknames.” I couldn’t help myself “Okay. Thank you Mrs Jane Aster.” ”Thomas, it is improper to use an adult’s first name when addressing them unless they have told you it is all right and only in an informal setting.” ”Well then, Mrs Jane Aster I will refrain from calling you Jane if you will refrain from calling me Thomas. My name is Tom.” She sent me to the office. I got one night of detention. Detention was 2 1/2 hours after school in quiet study. Guess what teacher was in charge of Detention that week…Mrs Aster. In a way I did win. Some time in our 2nd or 3rd week of school Mrs Aster actually started calling me Tom. EDIT: The thing that got me was I went to school in Georgia, New Mexico, Arkansas and Alabama between 6th and 9th grades. The teachers in those schools actually asked what a student wished to be called, except for in one class in New Mexico. There were 2 of us named Tom so since I was new I had to be addressed as Thomas so as not to cause confusion. That seemed fair.
  11. Thank you. Your write up is very helpful. I no longer think a Can-Am is in my future. I refuse to buy a brand new vehicle and then have to upgrade shipment that should have been upgraded to begin with. Plus, your point of basically having to adjust or relearn your riding technique reminded me of my experiences with a Honda 3 wheeler and a Quad. That was weird.
  12. That is cool, @Creeker, SASS #43022 Did you make those decals or have them made? I think one of these days I am going to have to go look at these Can-Am trikes.
  13. My given name is Thomas. My nickname is Tom. At some point my Dad started calling me Tomasina to pick on me. Tomasina is an Italian girl’s name. Anyway, I got in trouble at school because a so-called friend of mine told everyone to call me “Tomasina” because my Dad called me that. I let everyone have their laughs for a day and the next day I busted that kid’s nose on the playground. That ended that BS at school. I got 3 cracks for it. Worth it. That’s when the trouble started because when I got home my Dad said “You know the rule. You get paddles at school and you get paddled at home.” ”I don’t think so Glenda. You started this.” My Dad’s name was Glenn. He didn’t like being called Glenda, I immediately discovered. So, I got 3 cracks and sent to bed without supper…again. I always kept food stashed in my room. I got sent to bed without dinner often. One must always be prepared. Oh, and that Tomasina BS ended that day.
  14. I wonder… does she really sound like that or is her accent exaggerated? I cannot place her location by her accent. Sounds like a mix of Appalachian Hillbilly and Gulf Coast Southern…maybe. I only listened for about a half a minute. It’s all I could take.
  15. Good! That’s good news.
  16. I only bought one to test I am very happy I only spent $80 vs the $300 one that I nearly bought. I do have rifle red dots but they are just like looking through a scope. There is no chasing the dot like I have with the handgun. I would have really been ticked off had I had a slide milled and re-coated on top of buy a several hundred dollar RDS.
  17. I have tried and tried to like the RDS on my RXM. It’s coming off. I can’t understand wasting precious time looking for a dot. Besides, RDS’s are electronic. Electronics will fail and they will probably fail at the worst possible time. That includes the batteries. I made a big part of my living fixing electronics and the problems that occur when they fail.
  18. I have an RXM and I have an RMSc type sight mounted on mine. It’s a Monstrum sight. My friend has an RMR type sight on his. Neither one had a problem with installation or use. My RDS dot hovers above the iron sights. @TN Mongo, SASS #61450 is correct.
  19. Why, did somebody hang up on you when you asked that way on the phone?
  20. I tried beer on corn flakes once…Once! If you want to try something good add some heavy whipping cream to your cereal and milk. Not a lot, maybe half a cup. Changes the taste for the better, especially on Chocolate Cheerios.
