    TODAY'S GUN TIME

    I'll just add this, I was not throwing shade on the 5.7. To each his own, although the cost alone makes me shy from it. I have enough calibers to reload with out adding a new flavor to the mix. ;)

    And there Gentle....Men is the "chink" in the whole armor argument. I am not going to bring up North Hollywood because that horse has been dead forever and your average critter, at least recently, has only used a plate carrier or vest. The plates in my kit are IV, rated to Black Tip from a...

    TODAY'S GUN TIME

    I never "ditch" anything. Retire for the season, absolutely! I find my Shield to be the only comfortable "hot weather" carry option available to me. Mine is in .40 and while recoil is a bit on the heavy side in a small frame, practice mitigates a lot. While capacity is similar to many of my...

    That "splash" is termed Hydrostatic Shock. ;)

    TODAY'S GUN TIME

    I actually went looking for one, specifically the Shield in 30SC, found one but it had the grip safety and not a fan. Super impressed with capacity and preliminary ballistics put it around .327 Federal ballpark. I did however open the cabinet up to another stray though a 2.0 .40S&W:

    Excavator communications bucket build.

    I marked some time a little to the NW of your area and where I was at the soil looked like it would hardly support anything during a good blow. Daily trips would have me crossing the Appomattox/James and one of the things I always noted was the lack of scrabble/rock with any excavation. I...

    Excavator communications bucket build.

    Looks like it would make a good "stumper" too! Any plans on making a "thumb" extention?

    5105 engine surging

    Damn man! Get well soon, the tractor can wait. The better half is fond of reminding me that I'm not as young as I used to be. She's right though, it worries me as that silly Toby Keith song gets stuck in my head. Is that a symptom of something? :ROFLMAO: Good luck!

    Added to the to do list. Threw a sharpie in there too to annotate time on the tourniquet. (y)

    John Deere GX75

    I had one years ago when I lived in a subdivision near Ft. Campbell, only thing I could find to fit through the gate in the fence( renting). Good buy.

    Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

    Same here after moving to the boondocks. "Town" depending on what you are looking for is about equidistant in both directions, give or take about 22 miles. I find myself headed to the one that just opened one of those "Crack Palaces" a few months ago more often than not. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO...

    TODAY'S GUN TIME

    While I carry everyday and have been on and off for the last 20 some odd years my choice of a "truck gun" has evolved from when I was growing up. While primarily used to put down a vehicle strike/injury or dissuade predators the trusty 30WCF that held this spot has through no fault of it's own...

    Sometimes I'd rather that than multiples for one of my 1911's. One G21 is easier to una$$ if I need to disarm myself for a school/post/clerks office than trying to drop what is almost a duty belt.

    Cub Cadet SZ60 Oil filter loosens itself

    Isn't there a kit for a remote oil filter that alleviates this issue? Something like this: Cub Cadet 1862 S/N 821,060 - 836,000 142-683-100 Oil Filter | Shank's Lawn Cub Cadet

    TODAY'S GUN TIME

    Depending on the course of fire that is about what is supposed to happen correct? :ROFLMAO: However if snuffy rolls up on a range and just commences to stroke the giggle switch with little or no discipline I either will pack my ball and head home or head to the pistol pits. Provided snuffy...
