[OtterbatHellcat]

What up Cofi?

[BuffCyclist]

Honestly? Feeling like I'm going crazy.

Realized last night the telescope control software doesn't work the way I remembered, sent an email out about it and one of the chief engineers said thats how it's always behaved. Then today, I realized it doesn't make a beep anymore when clicking a button to technically stop the telescope from moving (where you are then required to re-initialize the telescope before moving). Now, you can stop it and slew all day long without having to re-initialize the telescope.

The worst part is, I can't determine if this is a good or a bad thing. At face value, it seems bad, but I can't say if that's just because I'm used to the old way or what.

And you? How's the shoulder doin'?

[BuffCyclist]

Also, super anxious to pick up my M&P40c Tues or Wed, depending on what works best for my FFL. I'm hoping he says Tues, don't think I can wait another day for it lol.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Shoulder.... nowhere near full range yet. I'd say about 50% range of motion, and not all under it's own power. My best motion is (think curls) up and down like that... all other motions require assistance.

It's coming along though. I look forward to it being normal again.

[BuffCyclist]

Besides, if I get it Tuesday, I can take it to the range on Wed. If I get it on Wed, I'll have to wait until the following week to take it to the range.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yeah, you're getting pretty antsy about that and the holster, aren't cha?

[BuffCyclist]

Well thats good that you're regaining ROM. I know its a slow process, but regaining ROM can't be pushed or more injuries happen and thats the worst part.

I can straighten my leg fully, bending it is still a little tight, but it definitely feels better the past few days than it has been. I'm starting to do strength exercises now to regain my quad muscles and thats feels wonderful. Also getting to ride for 20min on my trainer each day which is amazing as it feels like forever since I've been on my bike.

[BuffCyclist]

Yeah, you're getting pretty antsy about that and the holster, aren't cha?

[Whacko]

Why, does it show? And here I thought I was being good about hiding my excitement...

[OtterbatHellcat]

Anticipation is a bitch sometimes.

Yes, I need to watch myself and not do anything stupid with my arm. It's gonna take a while to get it back right again.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Close to 50% isn't horrible at the one month mark though, I don't think.

[BuffCyclist]

That it is, which is why I'll probably never be able to get a suppressor or SBR. My fiancee would probably kill me because I'd annoy her everyday saying how anxious I was to get it [LOL]

Not at all, that's pretty good! I'm only 2 weeks and a few days out from mine and I can already walk without a limp so I feel like I'm making fast progress. I think that another 2 weeks and I'll be nearly fully recovered. A colleague mentioned he tore his meniscus a few years back and after the surgery, was back running trails in 6wks.

[OtterbatHellcat]

The wif and I are gonna do a midnight breakfast tonight. Might go for a shorter commute this time though.....we had been heading over to Perkins at 120 and I-25. Might try the Ihop or Villiage Inn here in Brighton instead.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Damn....now I kinda wish I had a messed up knee instead.

:(

30 min till pickle goes to sleep and we can watch breaking bad!!!!!!

Hey, I used to live over there! Well, about another mile east of that Perkins, but it was close!

They suck. At least with a shoulder issue you can still walk around and do errands and whatnot. With an injured knee, walking becomes a huge hurdle, which makes you sit on the couch all the time and drives you insane.

But, I think I've used up my meniscus enough and can't tear it again (at least the right knee lateral meniscus). They're repaired it twice now for two different tears and this time, he cut out the excess meniscus that I had, so now I have a normal sized meniscus. Which means if I tear it again, they'll cut out more which leads to earlier onset of arthritis. Granted, I'll still have arthritis in that knee in 5-10yrs, I actually already have signs of it.

[roberth]

how do you know when you have arthritis onset?

[BuffCyclist]

After my knee op, I got into breaking bad. Well, watching season 1 years ago and didn't really get hooked.

Now, I'm addicted to it. The show gets really good actually, and I look forward to each new episode almost as much as The Walking Dead.

[BuffCyclist]

how do you know when you have arthritis onset?

They can look at the cartilage and see it starting to soften and wear down. In several areas, it looks almost frayed. It showed up in the MRI and the radiologist caught it and the doc confirmed it with pictures during the surgery, that he printed out and gave to me, which I'm not gonna lie is pretty awesome!

eta: The pictures are awesome, not the onset of arthritis at 28yo.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Alright,......I'll give it a chance.

[roberth]

i've been thinking about renewing netflix so i can see the newest episodes

so you don't necessarily feel anything but they can tell via mri

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm a Walking Dead fanatic.... just got the season 3 CD the other day.

Seems 'ol AMC has some pretty high rated shows going on...I know that HBO passed on the Dead, and I bet they're kicking themselves in the ass for that decision.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yeah, the pics of the inside of my shoulder were pretty amazing.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I wonder if I could take a good pic of that photo sheet.

Hmmmm

[BuffCyclist]

so you don't necessarily feel anything but they can tell via mri

Well, I do have bad knee days, where it just aches all day. Not enough to make me avoid walking, but its enough to be an annoyance. I also had severe pain if I tried running up stairs or taking stairs two at a time. Something about the stress in the knee while it was bent that much was causing the pain.

Hmm, scan and post? Would be kind of cool (though gross to some) to post pics like that [LOL]

I am definitely getting intrigued by the 300 blackout cartridge. Especially since i'm setup to reload, and how it uses less powder than 223. I might just have to build myself an upper for it. But a 16" upper seems a little silly as its meant for short barrels.

holy crap it weighs 39 ounces

[TheBelly]

And at just shy of $3k...... Crap!!

I'll know that I made it in life, when I can afford a 3K scope on one of my rifles.

and the 5.5 is $2000 ?!?!?!?

jumpin' jehoshaphat those are pricey

Oh, and Howdy Belly.

Nice to see ya, Ho.

[roberth]

but you do have an lmt-mws - get the best combat glass

So, if Belly gets a leg/knee/foot injury, can we start calling him HoBelly... Cause he'll be walking all hobily... [LOL]

That's not even a dent on some of the guns a few of the guys here have.

[roberth]

that is why i'm getting a ta11c in 308 for my ptr....i think - i have to practice more with the irons to see if the rifle is accurate enough to justify the cost of the glass - i know my ddm4v1 is good enough for a ta11

[BuffCyclist]

Yea, I dont think I want to know what the most expensive gun owned on this site is.

I'll take one too, and thank you Belly.

One cat always does damage....that's why he's named Havok! (the exclamation point is a part of the name.)

I'm wiped out. I went shopping today. Long, painful day. Ooof. I'm now relaxing with The Walking Dead and wigged-out cats (Lone tree is seeting off the delayed 4th of July fireworks.)

[roberth]

and i'm working on a plan for a 308 bolt gun

rem 700 5-r
nightforce 3.5-15x50 f1
mcmillan adj 3-5 stock

[OtterbatHellcat]

I knew Belly was alright.

[TheGrey]

Scopes, huh? Mighty nice of you to let others spend your money for you, Belly! :)

glad i priced them for you and him

Get me in on some of that. Been wishing on a TA33.

Sent from my electronic ball and chain.

[TheGrey]

A 308? My dad wanted me to pick up a 308 for him....and then the gun market exploded completely.

Wait, he isn't buying me one?

[roberth]

Looks like a good plan to me, Roberth.

got a few things in front tho - that nightforce is 2600 on gun broker - maybe a zeiss at 1100 is a better unit bang for the buck

[OtterbatHellcat]

Heya Lobo

[hahhah-no]

A DD that wants to get her Father a 308 for x-mas. I'm impressed.

He was originally thinking of an AR, but after talking with him, he decided he'd prefer a rifle for distance. He named a 308 specifically.

Looks like a solid scope to me, Belly.

[roberth]

ok a bolt gun

there are a few good ones out there

browning a-bolt
tikka
savage

but the one with the most parts availability and customization is the

Remington 700

[TheBelly]

For an AR, get the LMT.

For a bolt gun, get the Remington 700 Police model.

[OtterbatHellcat]

What's a DD?

Dear Daughter.. :)

[TheBelly]

does leupold or zeiss make something similar to that?

Leupy makes a 3.5-10x40, but it's SFP. I have one on my precision .223 AR.

daniel defense - they make an excellent 556 ar

[TheBelly]

How far is far?

my LaRue is a 16" AR and I can pluck a 1/3rd IPSC target from 750 yards. That rifle weighs a whopping 7.6 pounds.

[roberth]

Leupy makes a 3.5-10x40, but it's SFP. I have one on my precision .223 AR.

oh i did not notice that the vortex was a first focal plane scope

[TheGrey]

Thanks, riberth and belly- I'll get him a Remington 700! I really appreciate the advice.

OBC- ;)

[TheBelly]

daniel defense - they make an excellent 556 ar

AND....... I own one... They are frickin awesome guns.

[TheBelly]

Thanks, riberth and belly- I'll get him a Remington 700! I really appreciate the advice.

OK... Here's the hard part... Does he want pinhole accuracy right out of the box? Or just something that he can shoot a deer with every year?

[TheBelly]

oh i did not notice that the vortex was a first focal plane scope

I shot a prairie dog from over 400yars with my Leupy.

[roberth]

with the acog 200 is boring - 300 is a little holdover and getting boring

Nightforce are frickin beefy scopes. Truly professional grade.

heres why I won't get one right now:

1) Secon Focal Plane

2) capped turrets

3) $1600 for the one that I want.

[TheGrey]

Dad named 750+ yards. He used to buck railroad ties, so 7.6 pounds won't be too tough for him, I imagine.

He wants it for home defense first, hunting second.

boring...doncha love that...i'm going to try 4 and 5 hundred later - that is why i want more distance - to see if i can do it and is is more challenging and more fun

[roberth]

Guns can be expen$ive.....

yes they can be

there are some great guns to be had at lower prices too

[TheBelly]

Seriously. Shooting distance is easy.

Can you recommend bolt guns similar to a 308? I don't anticipate a sudden run on them, but on the off-chance that they sell out, I'd like to make a proper choice. :)

[roberth]

time for bed - y'all take care and enjoy your labor day holiday

[TheGrey]

Whats the budget?

Let's say $500-750 for the gun (accessories will be separate.) Business is good.

[TheBelly]

Later Roberth!

[OtterbatHellcat]

Have a nice slumber, Roberth.

Nice to see you this evening.

[TheGrey]

time for bed - y'all take care and enjoy your labor day holiday

Goodnight, roberth! Thanks for the advice.

[TheBelly]

Let's say $500-750 for the gun (accessories will be separate.) Business is good.

Hmmmm.

id say a Remington 700 BDL with a bell and Carlson stock. That adds up to about $600.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yeah, I'm digging the two Saturday program.

:D

[roberth]

Can you recommend bolt guns similar to a 308? I don't anticipate a sudden run on them, but on the off-chance that they sell out, I'd like to make a proper choice. :)

i doubt very much there will a run on 308 bolt guns

most people are way more worried about ARs

savage makes a good rifle - i'd get a savage if i couldn't find a remington - you can find almost anything on gun broker

i did a search for remington 700 sps on gun broker - http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=remington+700+sps - these prices are not local gun store prices - locals cost a little more b/c they include the shipping in their prices

[TheBelly]

It'll end up weighing about 8 lbs and it'll be pretty darn accurate. I did this and it shoots under an inch at 100 yards.

[roberth]

thank you lady and gentlemen :):)

[TheBelly]

Walmart has the R700 BDL for like $500.

[TheBelly]

No kidding, I bought mine at Walmart.

[TheGrey]

Thanks, belly & roberth. I'm writing this down.

Dad will be very happy this Christmas.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Happy Dads at x-mas is a really neato thing.

:)

[TheGrey]

It'll end up weighing about 8 lbs and it'll be pretty darn accurate. I did this and it shoots under an inch at 100 yards.

Excellent. Dad's a pretty big guy, so a nice solid rifle will be perfect.

[OtterbatHellcat]

So...Havoc!...and what is the others name?

[BuffCyclist]

If he wants a 750+ rifle with excellent accuracy out of the box, look into the Sig Sauer SSG3000... Granted, it'll set you back about $1200-1400, but it apparently scored very high marks in a long range rifle review recently.

I'll check Walmart tomorrow, Belly. That's great that they sell the Remingtons there! :)

[OtterbatHellcat]

RIP Jack and Cooper.

I bet they had it pretty good hangin' with ya.

[BuffCyclist]

Haha, yea the SSG3000 is a tiny bit on the expensive side for a gift. Then again, you migth just win daughter of the year with that... [LOL]






*unless you're an only child, in which case buying him a Remington 700, or heck any rifle for that matter, will still win you DOTY.

[TheGrey]

I'm his only daughter, the eldest, and have won DOTY forever. *G*

Yes, Jack lived to be 20 years old, and Cooper was 19 1/2. Their absence is still keenly felt.

I'm excited to get him that Remington 700.

Now, I have to figure the perfect presents for my Mom, brother and of course, hubby.

[TheGrey]

Hello, mcjhr!

[BuffCyclist]

I was chatting with a co-worker about how I wanted to get into shooting longer distances and was looking at getting a Remington 700 SPS Varmint and thats when he suggested the SSG3000. I'll probably end up with the Rem700 because it'll be years before I can tame anything nicer.

[mcjhr]

mmmm remington 700. i almost got one. got the howa 1500 instead coz im a penny pincher. and i found one fairly cheap.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Heya MC

[mcjhr]

OI! OBC

[OtterbatHellcat]

What's up on your side of the world, MC?

[BuffCyclist]

So wait, Grey, you're already doing Christmas shopping?

You realize Christmas isn't for another 3.875 months, right? I mean, you can totally wait until 12/20 to start...

Heck, my Dad doesn't start shopping until Christmas Eve [LOL]

[OtterbatHellcat]

That was some pretty informative info that Belly and Roberth shared.

Cool.

[OtterbatHellcat]

....and BC..

Yes, but my folks are out of state, so the sooner I can get their gifts, the longer they can wait here until I mail them off for an exhorbitant price. :)

[OtterbatHellcat]

Leave it to BC to know that x-mas is 3.875 months away.

[mcjhr]

OBC, just waiting for dexter and ray donovan to come on....watching a cool show about nazi germany tech weapons. i want bacon.

[mcjhr]

my folks are easy. get my dad some mechanix gloves and get my mom an amazon gift card. that woman buys damn near everything off amazon. Im easy too, buy me ammo :)

[BuffCyclist]

....and BC..

Oh, did I actually contribute something useful? Shucks, that wasn't my intention!

Fair enough.

Well, today is 9/1, so 3 months is 12/1. Christmas is on the 25th, and if you assume 30 days in a month, that's 5/6th of a new month and DOH, I was wrong! 5/6 is 0.833, so Christmas is technically only 3.833 months away... [panic]

[mcjhr]

buffcyclist, i wont tell anyone if you dont!

[TheGrey]

My folks are a bit distrustful of ordering anything off the internet. We got my Mom an Amazon gift card almost a year ago, but she wants me to show her how to use it.

We have different parameters to work within for Christmas presents.

[OtterbatHellcat]

We've decided to try the Village Inn tonight, but we have to leave pretty soon....it's not a 24 hr establishment. Besides, I'll be needing to stop at the local pharmacy for my preferred beverage, before the retarded hour of mandatory closing becomes effective.

[TheGrey]

You should hit the pharmacy first, on the way to Village Inn.

[OtterbatHellcat]

You should hit the pharmacy first, on the way to Village Inn.

Yes Ma'am, that will be the plan.

I'll bid my farewell at this point, and look to see you fine people at a later time this evening/morning.

:)

[mcjhr]

later OBC

[TheGrey]

Have a good night, OBC!

[OtterbatHellcat]

Later MC


*smacks BC one more time for good measure*

[OtterbatHellcat]

Good evening, Ma'am.

[waxthis]

Def leppard

[OtterbatHellcat]

*shoots a spitwad at Wax*

[TheGrey]

Hi, waxthis. :)

[BuffCyclist]

Goodnight OBC! Enjoy your midnight breakfast!

[BuffCyclist]

Heya wax!

[mcjhr]

Poison? hello wax.

[waxthis]

*shoots a spitwad at Wax*

Uhmmm.. That landed in my teeth.. We going steady now?

[waxthis]

Hi, waxthis. :)

Hi ya Grey.. If these boys get mean let me know, and I'll throw a ghost pepper at em.:)

[BuffCyclist]

Oh yay, free ghost peppers from wax!!

[TheBelly]

I'm excited to get him that Remington 700.

Now, I have to figure the perfect presents for my Mom, brother and of course, hubby.

They could probably use a Remington 700 also.

[BuffCyclist]

Wait, will you wrap them in bacon and grill them too?

[BuffCyclist]

They could probably use a Remington 700 also.

[LOL]

Or spotting scopes...

[TheBelly]

The best part is that since its Walmart, if they don't have the one you want there, just go to the other side of town and they probably have it. I had the Walmart closest to me call the other one to hold it for me.

i bought a .243 Winchester, though, and not a .308.

Not a bad idea!

My co-worker told me that he saw an Rem700 SPS (non-varmint) for $400 at Walmart and nearly snatched it up, but was going out of town and didn't want to blow his money. When he got back, he decided to go grab it and they sold that one and the other one they had jumped to like $565 or something. He was kicking himself for passing on it.

He keeps telling me to browse the rifles in the display cases when I'm there, but I never have that much toy money sitting around to buy on a whim. I'd have to save up for it then hunt one down.

[BuffCyclist]

Perhaps I need to create and build up an emergency toy money account... Ya know, to save for that rainy day when I see something for a great price that I just can't pass up

[TheBelly]

I destroyed my toy money budget in the last month.

its about to get worse, too....

[waxthis]

Big in japan

[TheBelly]

No

[TheBelly]

Cut throat kitchen..... Awesome, but only because I love sabotage..

[BuffCyclist]

Why the heck is the "Mark Forums Read" link directly next to the "New Posts" link?! [Rant1]

As I clicked, my finger slipped on the trackpad and I ended up clicking the "Mark Forums Read" link instead. Now I have to wait for people to post up in those threads again to see what was going on!

[OtterbatHellcat]

So....we're sitting and eating at the Village Idiot, I mean Inn.... this elderly gentleman rolls in and sits at the booth across from us. Oxygen, cannula and all that....looks kinda lonely but content it seems.

We leave our tip on the table, and head to the cashier desk...and I ask the waiter on the way.. what's his bill? He just walked over to his table, grabbed it and walked back and said "$10".

I paid mine and his and cruised out the door.

While we were leaving the parking lot, I saw through the window, the waiter telling the man his bill was paid...... I saw the smile on his face.

Best $10 I ever spent.

[OtterbatHellcat]

*smacks BC again, just because it feels good*

[OtterbatHellcat]

Whore, whore and re-whore.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I want more, you slutty whore.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Post like a bitch in a revolving door.

Aww, very nice of you OBC!

[BuffCyclist]

*smacks BC again, just because it feels good*

OH YEA, that's the spot! [LOL]

[BuffCyclist]

I'm not creative to post like a revolving door.

[OtterbatHellcat]

You dirt bag...I was in the middle of something, and you messed it all up.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Don't you have some dials to turn and some math or something to do?

[BuffCyclist]

Please sir, can I have some more?

[BuffCyclist]

What, I ruined your 5 post streak? [handbags]

[BuffCyclist]

Actually, no, no dials or math to be doing right now. Just sitting and hanging out for the next 45min before I have to do more work.

[OtterbatHellcat]

No, I was gonna get all Busta Rhyme and shit.

I can do it later, Holmes.

lol

[BuffCyclist]

So, is there a bet pool somewhere for the strike on Syria?

[OtterbatHellcat]

At least you can time your work intervals it seems.

Kinda convenient.

[BuffCyclist]

Or is that in bad taste? [Dunno]

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'll put $10 on Wednesday sometime between 6:00 am and Midnight MST.

[BuffCyclist]

Yup, one instrument requires our attention only once every 65min or so. The other takes 15min integration and with the clouds and wind we have, the signal we're getting is so low we'll be sitting on each target for about 90min.

[BuffCyclist]

I don't know, doesn't the US Govt operate on EST?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Or is that in bad taste? [Dunno]

Nope, not to me.

[BuffCyclist]

The latest stuff that I've seen is definitely saying the strikes, even though congress isn't back yet, could be as early as this wednesday too... And I'd guess it'll be in the middle of the night and we wake up to WW3.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I don't know, doesn't the US Govt operate on EST?

I don't give a shit, MST is my bet.

[BuffCyclist]

The many different outcomes are a definitely a little scary in all seriousness.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Sometimes I really don't mind the idea of all this horseshit coming to an end.

Mainly because of hope that whoever starts shit up again, does a better job than we did.

[BuffCyclist]

Fair enough. I tend to prefer MST too, but only because I can never remember the other time zones.

[BuffCyclist]

Horseshit being the civil war in Syria, or TEOTWAWKI?

[OtterbatHellcat]

TEOTWAWKI?

yeah.

[BuffCyclist]

You don't know what TEOTWAWKI is?!

Dude, its The End Of The World As We Know It.... And I feeeel fine...


http://youtu.be/Z0GFRcFm-aY

[OtterbatHellcat]

Piss on Syria and all that stupid shit.

Might as well lay it out I suppose.... I say turn ALL that shit over there into GLASS,....start over.

[OtterbatHellcat]

You don't know what TEOTWAWKI is?!

No, the "yeah" part of my post should have kinda cleared that up a little.

[BuffCyclist]

Not a bad idea. I meant more of the repercussions. We attack, they defend and hit a ship. We go to war, Syria attacks Israel, Israel attacks Syria, Iran activates sleepers in the US. China dumps our debt, huge fiscal crisis in US. People panic and start buying shit before money is worthless. Causes shortages of gas and other resources. Sleepers target huge populations, rescue crews can't get in due to lack of gas etc.

Or, we attack, turn it all to glass, russia says we can't come to olympics and we all cheer!

[BuffCyclist]

You don't know what TEOTWAWKI is?!

No, the "yeah" part of my post should have kinda cleared that up a little.

Ah, the question mark at the end of it confused me.

[BuffCyclist]

Clusterfuck is definitely what it is.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Where's Wax at ? I need some more sideways pictures to look at.

[OtterbatHellcat]

BC.........lets post like Expert Whores.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Be funny for the normal people to wake up and have 20 pages of shit to read through.

[OtterbatHellcat]

...or skip through.

[BuffCyclist]

I don't know how to be as non-sensical as you.

[BuffCyclist]

Ooooh, I am craving some midget sweet pickles right now..

[BuffCyclist]

I hate shaving. I grow a beard so freaking fast, I have to shave nearly every day.

[BuffCyclist]

Might grow a beard after my wedding. Once she's hooked, I'll let my face go [LOL]

[OtterbatHellcat]

It's not that hard....really.

Just start posting random stellar theorems and calculations. They'll understand your jibberish just as well as my non-sensical grabbage.

[BuffCyclist]

OBC, did you ditch me?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Oh, you've got a nice start on stuff.

Let the baffling of bullshit commence.

[BuffCyclist]

Or did you disappear because a midget got out?

[BuffCyclist]

This is the most beautiful equation, in my opinion:

I sport a normally unkept goatee....I do look decent when I have to though.

Been told I clean up real good.
