Non-Typical Solutions

Thanks Ben, I like the idea of using epoxy for my project, but needed some way to keep the leather in a sharp curve.......duh, got the old rubber bands out and lapped my piece and it worked like a charm, thanks for the info. How are things down in Animas? I am headed down there this weekend to measure up for a kitchen for one of my old school buddies. Are the prickly pear ripe yet? Thinking about picking some while we are down in that area. Thanks again for the reply

I am in the process of building a bench for working on my guns, cleaning etc., does anybody have any experience attaching leather to wood. Adhesives, glue, epoxy?.....somthing that can maintain a curve without putting brads or nails......maybe contact cement??? thanks

Tommy, Remind me when that rolls around and I will see if it conflicts with wrestling....Cole and I will enter...... Jeff

Send them a bill for the fuel cost of driving those checks somewhere to get them cashed.....can't wait to see the look on the cashier when you go to cash those babys...

Your post makes me laugh Bill, thanks........and yes you are correct on your assumption......

Not sure if you all got the fishing survey....I thought it was my refund check...but instead a fishing survey.....read through it and not really sure about the issues. Anybody got any feelings about this one......

That is funny, never been lucky enough to be in that position owning my own house free and clear, but I can imagine that would be the case and a good point well taken...... I got a card from Wells Fargo the other day saying they were going to WAIVER my $75.00 fee for my credit line that my house mortgage is in. I went in to find out why they would charge me for an account they were already getting my left leg for........I was informed that because my loan was for more than $200000.00 they had waived that fee.....if my balance ever drops below $20000.00 then they will charge me $75.00 a year. Which reminds me of my credit card company calling to offer for a small fee to protect my personal identity.....double LL, that is there job and why I pay 18% intrest for my card......now they want to charge me extra for that.....bull hockey....

I saw it on another post....fits this one too......Classic Merle....."are we rolling down hill like a snowball headed for heck!"

$15.00 per person, if have a two man team, $30.00, a 3 man team $45.00......last week of december. It will get ugly if money is involved as far as payoff......the one over at Seligman had to bring in a method of checking to see if the body of the carcass had been frozen.......lots of weird stuff......KISS....keep it simple if you want it to be just for fun......

Got my dies, brass and some lead, waiting for a couple of special order parts for my auto primer, but was wondering if anybody had any loads they would like to share. I know every gun is different, but still kind of nice to hear what has worked for others.

Man what a world of knowledge you guys are.........I guess I'll put 35 grains of H4895 in there and see what happens

Knock the first one down and then worry about about the second one.........can't really say, never been lucky enough to have to worry about that. I would suspect that the noise and commotion would probably be more detremental than the smell of the gut pile, but really have nothing to base that opinion on....

Heard about this on the news this morning, sounds pretty interesting....what do you think? HOUSTON (Reuters) - A Texas school district will let teachers bring guns to class this fall, the district's superintendent said on Friday, in what experts said appeared to be a first in the United States. The board of the small rural Harrold Independent School District unanimously approved the plan and parents have not objected, said the district's superintendent, David Thweatt. School experts backed Thweatt's claim that Harrold, a system of about 110 students 150 miles northwest of Fort Worth, may be the first to let teachers bring guns to the classroom. Thweatt said it is a matter of safety. "We have a lock-down situation, we have cameras, but the question we had to answer is, 'What if somebody gets in? What are we going to do?" he said. "It's just common sense." Teachers who wish to bring guns will have to be certified to carry a concealed handgun in Texas and get crisis training and permission from school officials, he said. Recent school shootings in the United States have prompted some calls for school officials to allow students and teachers to carry legally concealed weapons into classrooms. The U.S. Congress once barred guns at schools nationwide, but the U.S. Supreme Court struck the law down, although state and local communities could adopt their own laws. Texas bars guns at schools without the school's permission. (Reporting by Jim Forsyth in San Antonio; writing by Bruce Nichols in Houston, editing by Vicki Allen)

The scenarios are unimaginable....take the college campus where students were killed.....Kent State was it? Columbine is an unbelieveable situation that none of us thought could ever happen, so to create a new monster with teachers packing weapons to school probably has unforseeable consequences. To take someones life is something that none of us really want to do and especially an innocent person, but, at an example like Virginia Tech, if I would have been there, I would have wanted a gun, and it wouldn't have taken a second thought to put a bead on that guy when he started mowing people down.....

Exactly my sentiments .270, I would much rather pack a paddle than a gun to school, but hockey, they won't let me use a paddle.....things are definitely bassackwards......

I had the same reaction, but thinking back to Virginia Tech, if somebody, just somebody would have had a gun and willing to use it could have saved some lives. It is scary, I am a teacher and really don't want to have that put on my shoulders, but then again, I would rather be packing and ready than standing there helpless.....

This is where it is important to have grandpa around.....he goes up and tends to the campsite........rides his horses.......

I could care less if there are cattle in there myself, but something was done to the left side besides no cattle being in there, maybe a rancher went in at one point and time and cleared the land so the grass had more of a chance of growing or a fire went through there......there is more to the story of that picture than just cattle........we have alot of country up here where the cedar trees have been dozed over to create more grass areas, done by ranchers dang them anyway....which elk and deer and antelope and yeah.....cattle all benefit from. Oh, now we have the issue of dozing cedar trees right???? Speaking of rats a$$, I trapped my sons hamster in the mouse trap last week trying to catch the mouse my wife saw run across the livingroom floor.....sad day for the hamster, but of course they are probably imported anyway so good ridance.....lets get rid of all the imported little rodents....

Just for my own ignorant simple mind. In regards to the picture posted with this thread. Are you telling me the left side of the fence doesn't have any cattle on it and the right side does?

This has been an interesting thread, didn't really pay any attentiont to it until today. Kind of reminds me about my mom, after building a beautiful summer home up in Alpine, she made the comment that she hoped nobody built next to them so it would stay nice and pretty.......I commented to my mom that maybe somebody else wanted to enjoy the cool mountain air too....... We all want what we want but don't want anybody else to have what we have caus what they are doing hurts the environment. People down in the valley want farmers to keep the dust down......double LL people, farming was there before most of you were.... Over on Three forks there are now signs telling you not to go into the grassy meadow there because there are frogs down there.....imagine, frogs in the meadow where the river runs through........ Signs on the dirt roads throughout the white mountain area telling you not to turn your dog loose because there are wolves out there and your dog might get attacked and heaven forbid do not throw a rock at the wolf you might scare it off. They built a dad gum boat dock on the backside of Big Lake and ruined the best walk in fishing hole that there was on that lake......... And if you think the elk herd in AZ hasn't done its fair share of depleting deer habitat then you probably haven't paid any attention to the numbers of lions in this state either. I put lion at the top of the list for reasons deer numbers are where they are, then you go ahead and throw in drought and now you have serious deer problems........ And.....you really aren't giving the elusive coues deer much credit if you think that cows are running them off........ Did I get everything covered......shouldn't have read that thread all in one setting.....got my blood boiling......
