I just saw my first INGO in the wild. Northbound on 41 stopped at Harlan Road. Ford F 150 with an Indianapolis Colt decal by the 150. Two Ingo decals bracketing an International Harvester decal. Cowboy up decal as well.
Who are you?
I was making my way to my vehicle at about 2315. The streak lightning was frequent and intensified by its nearness to my location. Seldom am I alarmed of being struck as I was during the trek to the vehicle. I am not sure when it had started raining, but it was a full blown storm by the time I...
I just watched a news story where "actors" were attempting to kidnap kids to record the response. I did not catch the city/state this experiment occurred, but cannot imagine this ending too well in our neck of the woods.
Unless they had complete control over all factors, much could have gone...
One of my grandsons is in the 4th grade this year. Try as I may, I cannot remember exactly when I got my first knife (seems like I have always had one), but I am certain I had one by then.
My first would have been a scout pocket knife. I have been looking at a Case Cutlery 00244 Jr. Scout...
We are here doing our annual sleeping bag washing. Takes me back to a time in my early 20's when this was a weekly Saturday/Sunday a.m. necessity. A reminder to be grateful for such a small thing as having a washer/dryer.
Oh, and did I mention ugh...
Quite some time ago, I was on Beretta's site and was looking at the 92FS INOX. My Lady looked over my shoulder and said "Oooh, I want one". Since, I have perused various stores and sites looking. I had a few near misses until the 15th. Now Mama has the American made one (thanks Top Guns...).
We...
The Forgotten Soldier: The Classic WWII Autobiography: Guy Sajer
I am 2/3 through the book and cannot put it down. POV of a German soldier on the Eastern Front. It is gritty and captures the despair of a young man who faced deplorable weather, lack of supplies and a numerically(in man and...
It seems to me that when people are considering prepping for surviving a disaster, they are viewing it as if they are the only ones in the equation or at the very least underappreciating the numbers competing for resources.
There is considerable discussion on the value and emphasis placed...
I was on the way home from work so made a small detour in order to drive by the LGS and peruse their stock. I saw quite a few(in comparison to other brands) Glocks. I saw quite a few 40 cal of various makes. I saw 4ish MP9c's. Very few revolvers or 9mm of any kind.
I was almost out the door...
I would imagine that I am late to this party but I was just on the Ruger site and could not help but notice that they have added a commander model to their 1911 stable. I also noticed that the MSRP for both are 829.00, up from 799.00.
They have not met the demand for the full size yet and are...
I just received a call from My Lady informing me that the truck is struggling to shift. She said that the rpms increase and requires speed before shifting. It is an automatic transmission. The truck has been serviced regularly since we purchased new.
We have put a lot of miles on the truck. I...
For some time now I have been cetain that I wanted a M&P as my full size 9mm option. I was at the LGS yesterday to look at a tan SW MP9 and kept being drawn to a Beretta 92fs sitting next to it. I liked the feel and the fact that it had a hammer(cannot seem to shake my revolver roots) and a...
I am watching US Open tennis on CBS (trying to mellow after the Colts defeat-think l should probably get used to that).
Does anyone else think that the number 1 ranked Azarenka sounds like the good witch of the north when she hits the ball?
I find it to be very distracting. May have to...
As the title states, we have recently purchased a Tab2 and are enjoying the convenience. There are those times when we do not feel like sitting at the computer desk or trying to read on the "smart phone".
Originally got this to cut down on the magazine clutter and read e-m and light internet...
In April, my Lady chose and subsequently purchased a S&W M&P Shield. Since that time, I have been reading/researching holsters to present various choices for her to consider(she loathes anything remotely associated with research whereas I seemingly can read reviews for hours...).
I was in the...
I have a Canon printer, model MG8120B, purchased new July 2011. I get a 6c10 error when I try to print recenctly. I suspect it is the used ink reservoir?
The manual instructs to power down/up and retry (if to no avail, unplug/plug and retry). I have removed the ink cartridges and reinstalled...
...including all weapons, and fireworks are prohibited on Vigo County parkland."
Went camping this last (extended) weekend. After paying, received park vehicle passes and a pamphlet with "2012 campground information". In the section of "Park Policies"(adopted 7/26/10), the above prohibition...
Last evening, my Lady and I went to Gndr Mtn to check out camping items and to look for another badminton set(if it has been a while since you have played, I strongly suggest it. You have like a day and a half to get to a hit birdie and return. I brought a set to the last family gathering and it...
I am nearly certain(ammo is expensive) that I would like a robust .45 in addition to a 9mm(all but sold on the M&P). I love the heavy guns, so stainless is what I am interested in for the .45.
The thing that concerns me about the 1911 is the commitment to keep running. I want something that...
