I'm literally sitting around watching the river level rise with only snail speed cell phone conection and am BORED.

Just got back from Nashville after attending the National Rifle Association Range Developement and Operation Course. Five days of "drinking from a fire hose" but was it ever worth it. At $450 for the course I would pay that just for the course material. EVERYTHING from indoor/outdoor range...

One of the cool things about working on the river is the chance to see eagles. Am on the Illinois River for the winter and the number of nesting pairs has to be in four digits.

The Christmas Carol riddle thread got me thinking about holiday viewing and want to recommend one of our favorites. Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "The Ghosts Of Christmas Eve". No matter one's beliefs re Christmas it's fantastic music and visuals. Hopefully it's available for streaming thru a...

I debated about posting this but am too stoked not to. My business partner ( local police officer ) and I have filed articles of incorporation in IL and today we received word from the BATF that based on our application for a Federal Firearms License an on site interview is to be scheduled...

From a friend on vacation last week. I thought I would pass this along to those who might have lost loved ones or know of someone who did. Please feel free to pass this along. I was just in D.C. last week and I can tell you, if you’ve never seen this memorial, you’ve missed something. It is...

The forgotten warriors. Saw this on the local news show. Worth checking out. http://www.save-a-vet.org/

My officer friend and I are kicking around the idea of getting a FFL and doing a relatively low volume gun business for internet and gun show sales. Inventory ( if any at all ) would be kept low so no manufacturer volume discount. We're thinking about charging $25 over our cost plus shipping...

Over a month back I bought an A-Body 8.75 complete from HAUK67. Not only did he promptly respond to all my PM's but also agreed to keep the axle around for over a month cuz I was out of town at work. Then because of the shipping costs he went out of his way to take it to a freight dock ( NOT...

The Coast Guard closed the river right before we could get thru upbound and had to tie off and watch the air show; hate it when that happens. Apologies for the grainy shots; had the cam set for high res' then had to scramble to reset and got it too low. I'm wondering if the Stearman pilot really...

To start this is from my resto thread " The Humble Bee". Four weeks back I went to work thinking I would have the Humble Bee in my garage when I got back yesterday to install all the freshly restored/painted parts and crank that baby up. The engine is finished and waiting for the 904 which...

Talking about brakes on my resto thread got me thinking about when I REALLY learned how important stopping is. In the late 60's my friends and I would have late night high speed ( relative ) "road rallies " around the hilly, brick streets of Pittsburgh. It was also when I learned how good a...

I don't know if this thread will fly or not but I have a friend in need. With the number of members that have posted about loss of jobs due to the lousy economy I'm throwing this out here. The male half of my two best friends passed away several weeks ago. He, now she, has a small...

I sure hope I didn't "buy" this throttle assembly and owe on it. Don't think I'm getting to that stage yet ( hope/pray ). Hey Steve, could you have sent this to me by mistake ? When figured out I'll forward to correct recipient.
