  1. Is there still plans to institute a new fee for refis? I have a family member in Houston that is interested?
  2. My in-laws listed a house in La Porte. Had an offer over asking that night.
  3. I have a dozen guns we haven’t even opened yet. Most were Walmart purchases either early spring (post Christmas clearance) or late summer (make way for the next Christmas lineup clearance). My kids are just now getting to able to cock the guns. My fave is the hammer shot. Simple and effective.
  4. Forgot about that one. I guess it will be addressed next season.
  5. Would be handy now.
  6. Native is a good size. It feels more stout or fatter than the delica but it is shorter. and unlike the dragonfly, the native has a pocket clip that is not deep carry. It’s the only downside for it and the delica. If you would like that size with a deep carry clip, the chaparral fits the bill. Both the native and chaparral come in lightweight FRN.
  7. Spank you. Spank you very much. I often post without reviewing how I typed or fix any sentence structure issues.
  8. Accord. Yeah. I’m not sure if even a low profile bottle jack would have worked.
  9. Yep. Mine was flat.
  10. Yep. Had a cell phone and USAA. But the first persons they tried to send called and when I told them about the jack issue they said they wouldn’t touch a car that had slipped off a jack. The second person took three hours to get there. And I was in Kyle.
  11. Dragonfly is great. I have a green g10 that is use a lot during the summer. For a small knife, it has great grip and a lot of usable blade. The dark green in that zdp looks great.
  12. Bhq has an exclusive on this knife where the handle is micarta and the blade is coated black. It looks awesome (Not my pic)
  13. They have indeed. As of yesterday we refi’d 25yr at 2.875%. It seemed like 10 days.
  14. Until then, any suggestions on a jack that doesn’t suck that I can keep in the trunk? Scissor jack that is just better than the one provided or a stubby bottle jack? I doubt I’d want to keep a trolly jack in the trunk.
  15. I got a flat tonight. It sucked. I’ve had flats before and I’ve changed a flat in the roadside before. I had a 4 way tire iron which made removing the lugs easy. The problem: the Honda supplied scissor jack sucked ass. It took to long to raise, it sunk into the ground. And my the jack worked it’s way out while using the tire iron twisting motion to raise the jack a little higher after the tire was off sending my car to the ground. What do you have in your car that you feel is a must have for easier emergency management. I already had: Fixaflat: it was a gash. Tire repair kit: useless in this scenario. Inflator: again useless here. Flashlight: going to get a headlamp to help. Blanket: grass was wet, this helped. Going to get a waterproof tarp to put under blanket in the event of wet grass next time. Crappy scissor jack: thinking of getting a pneumatic lift or a bottle jack. Also going to keep a metal plate to put under the jack in case I am on soft turf again. Gloves: great call on this as that jack was a bitch on the hands. Water: could have been an issue if I were further out of town. Map: I had this. Rain coat: came in handy to block the wind.
  16. Yeah. Fuck that guy
  17. My wife and I went to Reds (since BotW is no longer open) to break in that G48 pictured above. Before we left I had her practice racking the slide at the house. It was her first time in a loooong time and Reds is a little noisy so I thought it might bother her. I got her some earplugs to put under the muffs which helped. It was loud but manageable. I put the target at about 5 yards and she proceeded to put out a group no bigger than my face. I was impressed. I was able to shoot pretty tight groups with the 48. It is noticeably thinner than my G17/26. I liked it more than my Bersa BP9CC. I don’t think she’ll be going regularly but it is good to know she can handle herself.
  18. Someone want to share with her how much it costs for a hitman contract.
  19. Pretty much. Need to do a retake during the day.
  20. Maybe I can get her to the range next week and I can take my other “new”ish pistol. I bought this RIA 9mm 1911. I told myself I wouldn’t buy another once since I sold my old one to one of you guys years ago.
  21. New glock day Time for a single stack. I Went to the shop with the intent on buying a 19x. I didn’t like it. I hadn’t considered a single stack since I have a single stack bersa bp9cc and sig 938. I told myself it was for my wife and she hasn’t been to the range since 2010. So anyway. I have a new gun.
  22. I like it. It is D2. It’s not ergonomic in the since that your thumb doesn’t naturally land where it needs to open the knife, but I can open one handed without a problem. The detent isn’t a challenge.
  23. I’ll probably remove the pocket clip on the Kershaw (always hated this type of clip) and it bugs me the thumb studs are not black but whatever.
