    Dr. Hess if half the folks in Arkansas are from Komifornia won't Arkansas be just as bad in a few years? Swamprat
  2. How do you grease a patch? Swamprat
  3. I thought it was an unfinished bass boat. Then I saw the holes in the sides. Swamprat
  4. There is a Harbor Freight store in Olathe. Thats not to far from you. Check them out. Swamprat
  5. This is the best stock advice I've had in years I called my stockbroker this morning and asked him what I should be buying. He said, "Canned goods and ammunition." Swamprat
  6. Gorilla glue is no good for this repair. It will give way. Gorilla glue does expand but it will also compress. If there is any movement or compression the bond joint will losen. Elmers yellow carpenters glue is the best I've found for stock repair. Just ease open the crack and work the glue down into it(you can blow it into the crack with compessed air if needed). Donot split the pieces apart and try to reglue. Alignment is all but imposible. Strips of old tire inner tube work great for clamping. Just stretch them a little when wrapping,as they set they will constrict and keep good solid pressure on the wood. Swamprat
  7. Thanks Wiley! After following the instructions from Thompson the rifle would only drop to half cock using the set. I found the securing plate in the trigger group bent and parts out of align. I just purchased this rifle and it appears it didn't have a good previous home. Lots of external rust. I got it cheap ($90.00) with all the extras needed to fire it. Just need to keep cleaning for now. Swamprat
  8. How do you adjust the set triggers on a Renegade? Just bought this and front trigger only works. I know the set trigger can be backed off so only front trigger works but what is done to reverse this? Thanks, Swamprat
  9. I just heard this a few minutes ago and I thought I might like to share this with you. The last four letters of "American" - I Can! The last four letters of "Republican" - I Can! Last but not least, the last four letters of "Democrats" spells: Rats!! Swamprat
  10. Stolen from another sight -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cajun in Hell A Cajun who died went to hell. The devil assigned him the usual punishment...put him in the mass pit where the heat was melting others. The devil came back sometime later surprised to find the Cajun just sitting around, not even misting, much less sweating. "How come you're not so much as sweating here where everyone else is screaming for relief from the heat?" The Cajun laughed and said, "Man, I was raised in the bayous of Sout Looziana. Dis ain't nothin' but May in Morgan City to me!" The devil decided to really put the Cajun through it. He put him in a sealed off cave in the pit with open blazes and four extra furnaces blasting. When he came back, days later, the Cajun was sitting pretty, had barely begun to bead up with sweat. The devil was outraged. "How is this possible!? You should be melted to a shrieking puddle in these conditions!." The Cajun laughed even harder than before."Hey, man! I done tole you. I was raised in Sout Looziana. You tinkdis is heat?! Dis ain't nothin' but August in Cow Island !" So the devil thought, 'Alright, a little reverse ought to do the trick.' He put the Cajun into a corner of hell where no heat ever reached. It was freezing and to add to the Cajun's misery, he added massive icebergs and blasting frozen air. When he returned, the Cajun was shivering, ice hung from every part of him but he was grinning like it was Christmas. Exasperated, the devil asked "HOW!? How is it possible?!You're impervious to heat and here you sit in conditions you can't be used to...freezing cold and yet you're happier than if you were in heaven. WHY?!" The Cajun kept grinning and asked, "Don't dis mean de Saints won da Super Bowl? Swamprat
  11. What happens when the batteries go dead? Do you yell for the bad guy's to hold thier fire while you change your engerizers? Swamprat
  12. A December USA Today analysis revealed that during the first 18 months of the recent recession, beginning December 2007, the number of federal employees with six-figure salaries shot up from 14 percent of the federal workforce to 19 percent. Defense Department civilian executives earning more than $150,000 went from 1,868 to more than 10,000, and the Department of Transportation, which had only one person earning $170,000 in December 2007, now has 1,690. The average federal salary is $71,206, compared with the private sector's $40,331. [uSA Today, 12-10-09] Swamprat
  13. It did not make reserve again, has been relisted again. No change in the wording of the ad. Just the same BULL! However the bids this time were about a third of the first time around. $1150.00 verses $450.00 Guess maybe the word is getting out. Swamprat
  14. Just to prove the whole country has gone to hell. With this kind of thinking no wonder. In January, the Berkeley (Calif.) School Board began consideration of a near-unanimous recommendation of Berkeley High School's Governance Council to eliminate science labs from its curriculum, reasoning that the classes mostly serve white students, leaving less money for programs for underperforming minorities. Berkeley High's white students do far better academically than the state average; black and Latino students do worse than average. Five science teachers would be dismissed.

  17. Years ago a friend of the family bought a Kit Home. Had every thing to build a house except the foundation. Every board was numbered and a set of blueprints showed were the board went and the instuctions told when to use it. All would of been fine except they lost the instructions and didn't bother to get another set (it would of cost). They built a house but it sure wasn't the same as the picture on the box. They also had some of the numbered pieces stolen from the building lot. In the end it would of been easier to just get some plans and buy the material as needed. Swamprat
  18. Karl hope all heals alright. Swamprat
  19. How about a free sample? I promise to tell all my friends about it. Swamprat
  20. It is now 10:00 PM CST and the story hasn't changed. It is pretty obvious this guy's a THIEF. Swamprat
  21. As of 1:00 PM CST it is still listed and the story has not been changed. Swamprat
  22. It didn't make reserve and has been relisted. Want to notify GunBroker? Bet they pull the auction. I just sent the seller a copy of the response from the Texas Rangers Museum. Let's see what happens. Swamprat
  23. Somebody want to explain how these folks get responsible jobs with thinking like this? Big-time traffickers who smuggle illegal immigrants into the U.S. from Mexico rely on GPS devices to evade the Border Patrol, but starting in June, border-jumpers who travel on their own can have protection, too. Three University of California, San Diego faculty members have designed inexpensive cell phones with special software to locate water, churches and medical facilities in the treacherous Southwest desert (while avoiding law enforcement) and will give the devices to Mexican charities. The phones, which will also feature "welcome to the U.S." poetry, are expected to save the lives of many of the hundreds who die each year on their dangerous journeys. Just how brain dead do you have to be to get a Professorship in Calif? (Sorry Karl) On a brighter note. Illegal-immigration protesters are demanding that the academics be arrested for assisting in crimes. [uSA Today-AP, 12-29-09] Swamprat
  24. Thanks guy's I found what I needed from your leads. Swamprat
