But are we still collectively agreeing that the world is still round?

I'm sure Cliff will be there.

I ran across this thread while on 1911.org and was quite perplexed with the post. More so with the pictures. The poster stated that in the Philippines there are a couple of companies could be making these STI's, Twin Pines and Trueweight. Check out the guy's pictures and the bad tooling marks. I was debating on posting this but if it is true, it looks like it could be a serious problem in the near future. Here's the link, because there are way too many pictures for me to copy and post. http://forum.m1911.org/showthread.php?t=17744

That's kinda cool to see the flight paths deverted around the hub. Do you fly Mark? Down here in Tampa (Lakeland actually) in April, they have one of the biggest "Fly Ins" just like in Oshkosh. Everything from Cesna's, Pipers, Military Aircraft, Biplanes, down to Homebuilts and Ultralights. The airspace over Lakeland is so over populated with aircraft that they have teams of ATC's working. The event is huge! A client of mine said it is actually booked for the next ten years for ATC's that want to work the air show. It's a fun show to go to, but I couldn't imagine flying to it.

Okay, so on this note... What is a good case that doesn't weigh down your luggage, is strong enough to stay locked, and is pretty much a pain to get into? I have a an aluminum case that came with my Springer TGO1 but I think that can be easily busted into, but it's a lot better than a plastic case most guns come with.

Very sweet! Where did you get the sticker on the stock?

We know what you meant. Bevin is busy making all of our mags. Any words of hope with the airline?

OUCH...

Man, I'm sorry to hear that happened.

Kim, Thanks for quick turnaround and getting me squadded with my club. Chad Blackmon

I made reservations the other night for October 6th and 7th and they said that the rate was $59 a night which after tax came out to $65. The thing is, I could've swore Ray told me the rate was $40 a night.

Happy B-day Flex!

I did a search and didn't see this, if it is...sorry Merlin. FACTS TO PONDER: (A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000. ( Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000. © Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept. of Health Human Services. Now think about this: Guns: (A) The number of gun owners in the U. S is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million.) ( The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500. © The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188 Statistics courtesy of FBI So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do." FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR. Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!! Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Zeke, That's really cool that you have a wife and she's behind you in your shooting. I will never forget my wife coming to support me at the Area 6 Match a few months ago, standing in the pouring rain and waiting for me to shoot. Not one complaint, no sighs, nothing but smiles for the entire match duration. That's just awesome! Congrats on getting the Loadmaster!

I'm with you on that Daniel. I am by no means a movie critic nor an actor, I am a die hard MV fan though, my wife...not really, but she did like it and say the same thing you and I feel that Mann did it in the same manor as the show, nothing more nothing less. I might have been a lot more critical if he himself didn't do it though. I went in thinking it would be like a Bad Boys movie (car chases and gunfights) and when I came out I said to myself that it was done exactly like "Miami Vice". It didn't feature any guns like Sonny's Bren, and we only got a split second glance at the SV Tiki Sonny was carrying. Other than that, I go t to the movies to escape the reality for a little bit, I enjoyed it.
