Looks like there is plenty of room for elevation but not much for windage. Anyway I no longer have the balance to use that for #2. Also I recently had a bout of some vicious intestinal flu and I couldn't have used that as its set up for "precision rifle" not "tactical scattergun"...

My favorite: Chuck Norris once performed a round house kick that was so fast his foot went back in time and knocked down Amelia Earhart over the pacific.

Rhimfire,

You mentioned flyrod making as a possibility. There are classes all over the US for building split bamboo fly rods. I figure if a guy can make a split bamboo flyrod then making any other type of rod ought to be a snap.

I worked with a guy who broke both of his legs and was off work for a long time. His wife got tired of him just watching TV and bothering her so she bought him an entry level fly tying kit. He had never fished in his life. He kept working at it and upgrading his tools and he got real good. His flys ...

Two winters at NWTC breaking gear for Unka Sam taught me that there is no substitute for Natural Fibers and Dry Lubricants.

I agree; I have not found anything made by Smartwool that wasn't simply great.

I don't know if there are Osage oranges where you live but they had them where I lived in Indiana and Ohio littering roadsides. They are well known for keeping away a variety of creepy crawlies. If you can get some just cast them about in the crawl space and repeat yearly.

Tycer, I also use naturopathic remedies. I spent 9 days in the hospital in September for ulcerative colitis that hit me suddenly. The pain, bleeding, weight loss, and diahrea was incredible.

"Who could play Reacher?" I was going to ask the same question. Selleck & Elliot are to old to pull it off. I've thought about this; years ago Nick Nolte would have been perfect. I've seen Vladimir Kulich in the movie "The 13th Warrior" and I think he would do a credible job...

Since I've read all of the books in the series, I can't bring myself to watch the movie. Jack Reacher's intimidating size, 6'5" and 255 lbs has always been an important characteristic of Reacher. Tom Cruise may be able to convince an audience that he's a jet pilot, a race car driver, or a bada$...
