  1. I have a bad back, not the man I used to be
  2. I saw a show on Nat Geo the other day predicting a 9+ quake on that fault line.
  3. We had a small quake last night around 1030, only 4.4. Between the ice storm that still has half the county without power, the quake and everything else I'm wondering if I'm living right. lol
  4. What's wrong with the props? Not as effective in vegetation or too noisy? Curious since I pulled the trigger on a MG
  5. What are you planning to wear these for? Everyday use for work? Casual, hiking, hunting?
  6. As far as hybrid lines go, imo Yo-Zuri can't be beat. It is not a fluro coated mono as suggested, rather an exclusive extrusion process that results in the mono and, fluro being bonded on the molecular level. The end results is a line that exhibits the best attributes of each and none of the weaknesses. FWIW 12lb hybrid has a breaking strength of almost 20lbs. The refractive quality is much closer to fluro than mono, plus its inexpensive. Give it a try, you'll never switch lines again
  7. Disabled Vet/ retired
  8. They're calling for an inch of ice here in the Augusta, GA Aiken SC area tonight and tomorrow.
  9. Great news Stitch, answer to allot of prayers
  10. Sounds like they took real good care of u. Glad to hear it
  11. A week from today, the 18th. I made sure the Gator flex mount was included, I was skeptical of price, not a refurb either just someone closing up shop.
  12. Floro has a crystalline structure, any over run causes it to flatten and sometimes kink. The area where the line does that should be considered as a cut, as the line's structure on the inside has been severed. Although several advances have been made floro is still a brittle product when compared with mono. Think of it more like a solid wire than pliable line. What's happening is the line structure is compromised when an over run occurs, couple of casts later and it snaps. Solution is remove all the line involved in the over-run, or switch to acopolymer like Hybrid or go back to mono. FWIW floro is what Teflon is made of.
  13. Found and pounced on a great deal NIB Motorguide 46lb thrust bow mount foot controlled for 250 shipped! Been needing a new one for a couple years, super stoked.
  14. Alt F4 will close any screen not just internet pop ups. Unless you've changed the color scheme a system crash screen is typically blue. If it starts taking longer to start up or load u may have a problem. I once had a virus that mirrored my computer to someone else's screen, only my firewall saved me.
  15. You have to remember I'm an old guy, I haven't carried in an official capacity since the 80's, long before the Los Angeles shootout where the bad guys were covered in armor and carried assault rifles, and before the Miami shootout, where the agents were shot because they were policing their brass during the shoot out. BOP in 2002 issued and I carried FMJ, the policy was a non-lethal response, hence the fmj. Allot changed in law enforcement after the two incidents I gave, before I was trained in non-lethal response, the goal was to stop the bad guy not necessarily end their life.
  16. bureau of prisons (federal) USCG, FBI did don't know if still do, those are they ones I worked with/for
  17. Many places have programs for the little ones, my youngest started when he was five. Obviously nothing to serious but it does teach them some discipline and self control
  18. Ever try the PX90 or insanity workout? Supposedly great cardio work outs
  19. Those little hard round things on a fish's skin
  20. Not lifted but I drive a 2011 Silverado Z71 4X4
  21. Trust me I'm shooting to kill, I read an article put out by the NRA that recommended carrying whatever the local leo's are. The article sited cases where charges (murder included) were brought against citizens protecting themselves. Personally I don't care what the leo's carry (alot carry fmj), I shoot hollow points center mass or head. I would never leave someone merely wounded, to many cases off the bad guy suing and winning.
  22. Next time use the alt key and f4, it closes any pop up screen. Unfortunately if u moved your cursor over that window that action could allow malicious software to download, the restore will work momentarily but the virus is still there. Your antivirus will not recognize it as any contact.with the popup with your cursor gives the program permission to d/l
  23. Drives me ape, hate the sound of braid. I guess for me its what fingernails on chalkboards is for other ppl.
  24. The biology research center at SRS in Aiken recently conducted a study on how far north the pythons can spread, their conclusion was the Okefenokee swamp.
