Cool. I didn't reply to your message in the other thread cause it was off topic in a meet-up thread.
Man I've been crazy busy with work. Going to try and hit all Z events this week though. You guys should come to the drag strip Thursday night even if you don't run.

Good Morning........
HUMP DAY
Q, I would buy one ASAP. Obama will stop you from getting one or being able to get Ammo.
Here is some info :
I don't know if you hunt or use your guns on a regular bases, but if you do then you have noticed that the availability of civilian rounds in the stores is really low. Some stores for instance are having such a hard time getting civilian rounds they are putting your nane on a waiting listfor what ammo they do receive. This breaking news sheds some light on the reason why.
I guess they figured out that if you can't get the rounds for your guns then they don't need to take you guns... YET.
This news came out March 15, 2009. Be sure that you read the article at the web link below.
This is breaking news....
Georgia Arms is the 5th largest retailer of ..223 Ammo in America. (they sell 9 mm, ..45, etc)
They normally buy spent brass from the US Dept of Defense - 'one time used' shell casings by our Military - from training on Military bases, etc. They buy the brass and then re-load for resale to Law Enforcement, Gun Shops, Gun Clubs, etc.
They normally buy 30,000 lbs of spent brass at a time.
This week the DoD wrote a letter to the owner of Georgia Arms and said that from now on the DoD will be destroying the brass - shredding it. It is no longer available to the ammo makers - unless they just buy it in a scrap condition (which they have No use for).
By The Way - The brass is NOW going to be sold by the DoD to China as scrap - For less money than ammo manufacturers have been paying for the shells before processing to destroy. That sure helps the US economy now, doesn't it?
Sell Cheaper to China - and do not sell shells at all to a proven US business. Any agenda working here?
The Georgia Arms owner even related a story that one of his competitors had already purchased a load of brass last week - and the DoD contacted him this week and said they were sending someone over to make sure it was destroyed. Shell Casings he had already bought! THE BRASS HAS NO VALUE TO THE AMMO MAKER IF IT IS DESTROYED, SHREDDED, or MELTED. HE ONLY USES IT TO RELOAD DIFFERENT CALIBERS - MAINLY ..223 BULLETS.
Georgia Arms owner says that he will have to lay off at least Half of his 60 Workers, within 2 - 3 months if the DoD no longer sells their spent brass to him. He has 2 - 3 months inventory of shells to use. By summer - he's out.

Pretty slow in here lately. I was hoping for some good reading since I've been working in Ardmore, and it is terrible up here. Where is everyone? Busy working on their Z's?

Travis, sorry to hear you lost your job. I knew about 15 or so people from there that lost their jobs as well. I'm sure I would've been one of them had I not left last summer. Good luck on the job search.

Hello, I will have pictures up today sometime. I got the front of my car raised up enough so that nothing hits. I have to go SLOW over speed bumps though, otherwise my exhaust hits.

Well it's only part myth. There is something attacking livestock, but it's not a mythical creature. It's a damn coyote I would imagine. Either that or a wild dog. Yeah after that special I watched one on Loch Ness type creatures. This stuff has continually been proven to be fake, but people still want to believe it.
