I was lucky, and not totally unknown. Sudden acts of violence happened now and then. Redneck town. I ran for city, state, and sheriff's departments but besides that I ran for the Federal Housing Agency. Ran fair all the way around but just the way it went when towing from the projects I was...

I'm all for handicapping! I mean, without handicapping I have to say Shane beat me like a rented mule, a whitewash. With handicapping I can say Well Shane did manage to get by me but I was giving him the crackles and the seven out! A guy was talking about bringing AJ Foyt to race in our...

Craig, I strongly agree with all of your posts! Might not on the cases you cited because I am not familiar with them but very doubtful I would think any different than you. I found concealed carry to be inhibiting. There were several times teeth would have flown except I was carrying. I was...

Not that I am PC enough to care, I just noticed a reference to "enemy country" in a recent video. Apparently that is what Indian Country has evolved into. As I have already clarified "Indian Country" was used for hostile or unknown territory from at least eighteen hundreds to vietnam era. I...

Things can vary. Summertime, tee shirts, and the right choice of bullet and I put a lot of faith in a 380. It is a nine MM and many police and militaries relied on it for decades before the 9MM parabellum pretty much took over when it became NATO's standard round. Come wintertime, I don't put...

I have seen nominal 120 from 110 to 130 so I do check. With some really crappy wiring I have seen 90 volts. I was concerned about more important equipment than lightbulbs so my power was clean. Right on the nominal 120 a leg every time I checked it. I have seen a few funny things with...

Reservations operate under three or four sets of laws and regulations as I'm sure you know. Too, you are likely to run into things enforced a lot differently in the tourist trap part of a reservation and the dirt poor "real" part of the reservation. Tribes where a few got bucketfuls of money...

These LED's that shed lumens rapidly were just Home Depot variety. They were hung from chains and maybe six feet from the ceiling so I don't think temperature was an issue. Good air circulation from fans since I was working underneath the lights. I set up the wiring myself so no significant...

A common designation to indicate going into disputed territory in vietnam among other places. I have heard the term used to describe hostile territory in the mideast too. Wasn't an uncommon term in the old westerns I was and am a fan of. "Indian Country" is hostile territory. The designation has...

Nice! I do like to be able to control brightness and temperature. I was at the nuke when they moved the drafting department out of our old ratty triple wide into a nice new three story building. The building supervisor was going nuts! The lights wouldn't stay on in the drafting department. The...

Good guess but I wouldn't be caught dead with a Glock. I carry whatever is handy for day to day usage, if headed into Indian country I carry a Humodified Colt Commander in .45. I'm confident I can run that thing dry before somebody falls. Hu

Someone we both know went to the doctor. When the doctor told him to lay down a Glock hit the floor. The patient apologized, picked up the glocko, tried to lay down and it hit the floor again. He went to put it back and the doc told him to just lay it on the counter until the exam was over! Hu

I was reading down before posting but my guess was the red cloth too. Almost justified, that crap will make you go blind! Hu

Memory fails me at the moment but I know of a few times entire sets at fairly important events were ran from the opening break. Certainly worth mention here and links to the video's if they are still up anywhere. Can anyone provide more information or links? Thanks, Hu

All in all very nice. One thing I am shy of about LED's that I encountered using them as shop lighting, they seem to weaken very rapidly. No measurements but just at a WAG I would think brightness decreased 20-30 percent in early usage. Split the difference at 25% after the first three months...

I used to visit a lot of old homes and buildings. I think in an old plantation home, I saw a huge table. I don't remember how many legs it had on the outside, at least six or eight, but it had four more supporting the middle. This table had eight pockets. The table itself was eight by sixteen or...

Willie was awesome. There were times when he ran rack after rack with never a hard shot. I always thought that was a big part of his value to Brunswick. People that had never played could watch Willie an hour and think they could buy a table and be running racks in a few weeks. I saw a young...

Memory is kind to us we remember the good times and forget the bad. What was funniest was an older couple I drove for. Ten or twenty years later they hung out the passing flag for Mario and AJ to get out of my way! Funny, I was there and I don't remember the story quite the way they do. Pool...

Sometimes you are just trying to beat somebody, sometimes you are deliberately crushing their soul! The youngsters get a little bolder and bolder then one day you have to demonstrate why you are still the bull of the woods! Hu

There is always a danger of unintended consequences retapering a shaft. You may not like it at all! Some have already mentioned it but you don't want twelve inches of no taper, twelve inches of pro taper which will have 0.5 to 1.0mm taper typically is likely to make a much better shaft. I don't...
