whoops. so sorry.
Nice spam! Very inconspicuous. *grin*
I'll be sure to warn everyone that I've never fired any type of rifle in my life, so stand WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back.
Hey... it works. Form and function are usually opposed to each other in the networking dept, from what I've seen. Sure... it's nice to have all the cables all bound and tucked and zip-tied and such... but it's major b1tc# if you have to trace just one of those cables...
In our phx office we did something a little unorthodox. we racked the punchdown panels alternating with the ethernet switches that they corresponded to, one after the other all in the same racks. then we patched the ethernet switches right to each patch panel with little short one-foot cables, and so there was no cable management.
It looked kinda funny when we got done. the rack looks like a giant freestanding velco strip. BUT: tracing a patch cable is a *breeze* and takes only seconds. I like it.
oops. "velco strip" s/b "velcro strip".
dagnabit.
I wouldna noticed if you hadn't pointed it out.
The October American Rifleman has a good article on it; supposedly one can get 'get all the features of th pre-64 but better made..the computer driven milling etc. closer tolerances etc.' They claim safer, stronger and more accurate. Has a controlled feed bolt face, a hybrid of the pre-post 64 70s. This helps with the WSSM calibers, which for balixtic afficiandos should be important.
The model variations within the 70 family are pretty amazing from the plastic stock stainless steel to the walnut blued model with most stops in between.
I'm kinda with the skeptical crowd but it will be worth checking out. In the interim, I'll stop by Cabella's 'Gun Library' and drool over the Griffin and Howe that's there. :-)
I hear that alot. :-)
Is it Suzi or Osage? Guess they will never know. Only the Shadow knows. :-)
I just finished watching the first two episodes of Samauri 7. Not sure if I like it yet or not...the animation is vey cool, but the story hasn't grabbed me yet for some reason. Guess because mostly it's a lot of action and not as much drama as some.
Evening.... Home from Mordor....
B-but...Mount Doom is still standing!
I know.... I will be sent back. Until my task is done!
Brilliant! I wish more were done that way!

Welcome home!
How was your day in the big city?
I hear they're a bit gamey though.
Liberals. Not possums so much. ;-)
Agreed on both counts, my friend has taken several of the big bears, including the Russian variety last year, swears by 8mm Rem Mag. He is a hunter's hunter, imho, works hard for each shot and makes the shot count.
Yuck...I remember that incident!
