I'll put a big second on the cinnamon brown sugar Philly. Down right dangerous if you are having a lack of self control day.
Well, I've been keeping track of serving size,calories,fat(s), carbs,sodium and et al... So I usually have it for breakfast at 0030 -0100 along with my coffee. But I space the bagel cream cheese days out. But I always have some sort of breakfast sandwich... just starts the day out on a good foot.

I like the US Optics. Had a SN3 3.8-22 but traded it on NVG. I like that they are very custom built anyway you like it.
Since then, I've gone to mostly Schmidt and Bender PMIIs with some NF F1s on ARs
Anythime you get in the $3k range for a scope you get some real good stuff. I remember in one evolution in a competition we had to go over some obstacls and through a concrete culvert to get to position to make the shot and there was a guy with a GAP .260 bolt gun and a Hensholdt scope. SOB jumped over the obstacles and then threw the weapon through the culvert so he could get through the culvert faster and make the shot. It was a time/accuracy evolution. I just shook my head. That's when I knew I was not competitive enough. No way I'm throwing a $9,000 rifle and scope through a concrete culvert just to improve my time by 1 second.
S&B are also nice, but pricey.. Well to me they are. GAP does amazing work according to the interwebz. Live dangerously, go for the throw! Man, you wouldn't catch me throwin' any of my guns!
Watched someone do it.

Throw some lox, thin sliced red onion and some capers on it and it will!
Maybe, pass, possibly. I found some different cream cheeses' made by Philadelphia. I bought the Cinnamon and Brown Sugar one, it's amazing. Once that one is gone I'm going to try out the Honey Pecan. :)

Yeah, I still drool over the one my instructor has http://www.eurooptic.com/carl-zeiss-optronics-hensoldt-spotter-20-60x72-spotter-60.aspx
Of course he gets most of his stuff free from the mfg just as long as he does a write up and review...
And there are many low priced spotting scopes out there. They will work. They higher price gives you ruggedness, low light transmission, and some clarity. But for most of us who aren't staking our lives or livlihood on it, the top of the line scopes are just a luxury.
U.S. Optics.... soo nice, soo much money.

I need to stop looking at this when I'm eating my breakfast... somehow a bagel and cream cheese just doesn't seem as good as it did before... ::)

I decided to pass on the truck without even going to look at it again in depth. Just something about it wasn't sitting right in my head. Oh well, no biggie.

not really dinner but more breakfast.
I sprinkled a little cheese on to a small warm flour tortilla, fried up an egg (with the yoke was just a little runny, yum) placed it on top of the cheese, warmed up some pulled pork, wixed it with some of the mustard sauce and!
TADA!!
Looks awesome.... I hate you. 8)

Well, at least being a FORD is it the 7.3. Just be sure its a solid front axle Dana 60, not a 51 or flexy type ???
Well only really going to look at it as the guy wants $3,500 OBO. I did a quick check when I drove by and it looked solid front end, but I haven't gotten a good look yet. Went and looked at sable GSD puppy yesterday, but didn't get it, then spent most of the remaining time running errands.

They have those too. You can also find the box separate if need be
That's what I'd do. Think how nice that would be for just running heavy stuff in from town and moving round the farm
It'd make it easy to get supplies out to the farm, even before the road is upgraded.

Inconsiderate wench!!
Possibly one of the tamer ways I could use to describe her. The leaks aren't bad, the rear pinion seal, the transfer case and oil pan seal need to be replaced, might do the trans pan as well. 2 of the 3 will be RTV'd, the other 2,I'll just end up ordering the seals off RockAuto. You should see all the XJs out here, rust free. I was looking for a steering shaft (non ragjoint upgrade for the sub) and found at least 8 without trying at picknpull.
You're a bit out of travel distance. However, I am going to go look at a 97 F250 w/ 7.3 either tonight or tomorrow.

So apparently XJ decided to allow a few seals to start leaking simultaneously. But failed to allow it to do it more than weeping, so to spite her, I will make her wait to get them fixed.

Not that all units admit to TRADOC conformity but the safe to semi from low ready to high ready is doctrine. I'm sure rain man "Nate" will spit out the TM for us in the AM. All of the legit operators I have ever had the pleasure to stack up with operated in that manner. Obviously we clear structures from the high ready, on semi, and finger in the "universal cover" position, but any time your eye is relieved from your sight the selector is swept back to safe.
Better with words than I.

« on: May 21, 2015, 09:23:41 AM »
Establish good habits early with the AR. Sweep the safety every time you bring it up to get on target and every time you lower it from the target. It becomes instinctive after you practice it a while.
Yes. Hmmm, I've been driving that AR for decades literally and in several shooting schools, and I never did that.
But it sounds like a good practice, good idea. Bobby, Blaine, Nate, you guys like that idea? Odd but having attended the SOAR (Special Operations Aviation Training) Shot with 5th SFG, 3rd SFG and 10th SFG, Three different Seal Teams, Marines, having attended BlackWater shooting courses twice, and another shooting school in the Va. area, none of them taught that, but I have to say I like it.
Me, I use the classic M1 trigger guard (Keep the finger out of the trigger guard and off the trigger.)
Yes. It's been crammed into my head. Why run the risk? Remember Murphy is always out there waiting. The sweep of the safety and trigger finger discipline is the way to go.
Yes.

For the lights, in my opinion, 2 closer to the center of the bumper, and the other to towards the other edges. That way, you'll get a wider area of ground/obstacles illuminated when using them.

The LT's are developing a new PT belt reflectivity test as a mitigation for their risk assessment matrix, which they will undoubtedly be given a bronze star for!
Awards only come after successfully integrating the plan and making a PowerPoint presentation.

if you told a grunt, we are moving out in 45 minutes, after our eyes get accustomed to the darkness, you would have literally 50% of your platoon asleep while the other half stood guard for the first 22.5 minutes and then they would swap.... I was once a wee private and had an old crotchety E8 tell me, if you are just standing around you should be sitting, if you are just sitting around you should be laying down, if you are laying down you just as well be sleeping... not sure what he was getting at really, but we were in a relatively docile training box... so I decided to take a nap while my battle kept an eye out... only to awake four minutes later getting my face ripped off because my battle had clocked out too... I should have known better... I tried to relay the story the master sgt had relayed but he couldn't hear me because he was still screaming too loud...
Or more realistically, you'd have the experienced guys sleeping, some individuals would be smoking, the LTs would be messing around with some thing or another IOT appear important, some people would be standing around with their hands in their "air force gloves", and the NEW guys wouldn't know what to do.. That little saying means rest when you can because in combat, you don't know when you will get more.
Those 20 minute cat naps work wonders don't they..

Oh, Bobby, you're right in the Aviator's realm!
To night adapt takes humans 30-45 minutes. That is normally taken care of with the phases of the setting sun. Sunset then civil twilight, end of civil twilight, nautical twilight, end evening nautical twilight, then astronomical twilight. Each phase civil, then nautical, then astronomical twilight are 20 odd minutes in length.
Once fully dark adapted and exposed to more than a short duration high intensity light, you will require 5-45 minutes to re-dark adapt. Bobby's numbers are close and would work for the youthful person, and I'm sure using constraints derived by the Infantry center. The Aviation center uses my numbers derived by the Aero-medical board, a research arm of Army Aviation.
Daylight vision uses focused images on the Fovea Centralis, an area in the center of the back of the eye which has cone cells which distinguish colors. All around the Fovea centralis is the para fovea, an area that has great concentrations of Rod cells, These cells can detect light, but only in hues of gray, no color. This area is not in operation during lighted viewing so you can look directly at an object. However at night the cone cells do not receive enough stimulation (Light) so they stop working. When they do the eye excretes a chemical called Rhodopsin or more commonly known as visual purple.
VP stimulates cone cell activity and you start to see in the dark to some degree. Average human daylight vision is 20/20 which means an object at 20 feet has all the color, shape, texture, shading, and the like as an object which is at 20 feet, hence 20/20. Night vision unaided is 20/200. You can see how poor night vision really is! Also the para fovea is all around the centralis which is now a night blind spots (You have two!) so to see an object at night you need to use "Off center vision." Meaning that you look all around it, but never directly at it, where its image will fall upon blinded cells.
There are books written on the subject and in profession we had to study that in depth. On the annual check rides, one was always asked to explain something about night vision...Like PMS Photopic Day vision color, binocular vision (Think depth perception) Scotopic Twilight vision mixed but fading colors, binocular vision Mesopic Night vision, shades of gray, monocular clues, no depth perception!)
Prepare students, Bobby will be administering a test the end of next week!
Blaine's numbers, but way to expand the line of thought. The test will consist of .... what you thought I was actually going to give the outline for the final exam? HA

Add solid knowledge or experience as you see fit
Light discipline
-Bright stationary lights will conceal your movement behind them or at least obscure the enemies view of you. -a bright burst of light will immediately remove the enemies acquired night vision by constricting their pupils. -When moving about at night I use a small key chain light if anything for movement and a bright WML or torch for illuminating an adversary. -during tactical night movement if you must illuminate your scene. Stop, cast your light at an azimuth contradictory to your intended path for a short burst and immediately move. You will use the ambient light created to guide you, but won't give away your intended route. -never find yourself backlit or backlight a friendly. If you find yourself backlit, use your own torch or WML to replace the light your shadow has cast. -don't shine your torch in your buddies eyes jacking around immediately before moving in to darkness. -avoid the temptation to focus on distant lights, headlights, or others lights. -avoid using light for convenience -if time is not critical, allow four-six minutes for your eyes to adjust to darkness before movements.
* Use the black and white cones on the side of your eyes at night to see better. * Don't look directly at an object. * Noise travels further at night than day.

RN, sorry for chattin' up your thread, not like that has ever happened to me or my threads!
Bobby, post up a pic of Bear, I'd like to see what he looks like now before he fills out into an adult. He's a handsome dog.
When I get back home I will.

90, good size, is he quick at that weight? I think the vet said Ranger was headed north of 100. Time will tell
Yea he's quick. He could run faster but he doesn't know it yet. The vets' were saying Bear would end up around 120ish, but you never really know. He could stand to gain a few pounds., just to fill in a bit more.

Picked these up off of Amazon.
Wanted to try some "flush" mount LED's in lieu of carving out a hole to mount some dirt collecting light fixture inside
Good price as well $75 for all 4!
If they look like the ones I've looked at, you'll still have to place a cutout and slide them into place, but one they are mounted they are flush or close to it.

Well, MOVE!
If you were down in the tucky near me, why today you'd be helping build an out house!
Think I'll DOT up Charles's thread some...
Wondering, what size is Bear? Ranger has some big feet. Vet says he is going to be a big one.
BTW, Ranger had surgery a couple days ago. Damm sled dog bit him in the eye! Tore the third eye all to heck and back. Had to have part of it surgically removed!
He's doing fine now
Moving requires a surplus of money. Bear is 90lbs. Sounds like Ranger was pushing the puppy luck.

Firefox is good. I read that some of the "code" you were seeing is a disconnect between McAfee (assuming that's what you're utilizing) and the Chrome and Firefox interwebz.. It's not a virus or anything, just the programs not meshing or something computer technological like that.

Bobby, or anyone, have you shot one of those FN 57's? I want one just because.....pistol with rifle style round going 2000ft +.... how cool is that.
The FN 5.7x28? Yes I've shot them. 20rd mags, very little recoil.

Also, a couple months ago when I had the mysterious leak on XJ, Tate mentioned that I should check the windshield reservoir as the seals like to leak on occasion . I, for some unknown reason, mentally placed it on the passenger side... it is NOT on the passenger side.
No I wasn't putting fluids in the wrong place, I had a brain fart and just realized it. My bad.

Bobby, I checked out that XJ near my farm. Turns out the rockers in it are way rusty. I couldn't see the holes on a black jeep from the road at my viewing angle, but passing it Saturday, I slowed down the train and took a look-see.
Seems most of them have rusty rockers
Yea, the rockers seem to succumb pretty quickly to it. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f37/xj-frame-build-741237/
I'll just leave this here...I think Don may have some time on his hands to help you with this project.....
Let me know if you need any body parts that are rust free. Happy to keep and eye out and arrange shipping
Dang! XJ's going to get some new stuff put on soon. Stiffeners, some suspension stuff, possibly some lights. I'm waiting for a friend of mine to move back up here from GA, as her husband welds professionally, so I can get it done right, as opposed to me messing with it.

I've shot the MK23, such a beast of a pistol. Can't imagine how big if would feel with the can spun on too.
From the few I've seen, I'd wager front heavy, but with even more sexiness thrown in the mix.
