4009 bots, er um I mean guests online right now.

Let's say 3k are bots & the rest are just peepers.

Hello

[BuffCyclist]

You're up early CN. Insomnia or do you work nights?

[ChickNorris]

I don't sleep much.

[ChickNorris]

Going to go play @ the range with a few friends who have to wait for the weekend to do it.

[BuffCyclist]

Ah, that sucks.

I have to adjust to waking up early again so I can get my butt back to work Monday morning. [Cry]

[BuffCyclist]

Range will be fun! I miss going to the range. [Cry]

[ChickNorris]

I like sleeping well enough, been trying to keep sane people hours for many months now.

It's... something I tell ya.

[ChickNorris]

I guess I just didn't catch why you don't shoot anylonger?

[ChickNorris]

Too far to drive or something?

[BuffCyclist]

Over an hour away, private club, membership is like $500/yr, only have access on certain days. And from what I hear, its a pretty crappy range.

[ChickNorris]

I see.

[BuffCyclist]

And yes, in the grand scheme of things, thats probably not that bad, especially to the cost of indoor ranges.

But I got used to a $60/yr membership, sunrise to sunset, 7-days a week. 4 private general purpose lanes, 16-pistol lanes, 200-yd rifle and 400-yd rifle. Staffed with complimentary target stands.

edit: its primarily the distance. Losing 2-hrs travel time means Id have to be at the range at least 3-hrs to make it worth it, and thats half a day. Which translates to lots of money in ammo.

Amen to that. Weld cty is $125 365/6 sunrise - sunset out to 200 meters. Pawnee (split fee with other forum members) my part was $30-40 year round sunrise to sunset

Down here it's a 10 - 30 min drive depending how far out i want to shoot. Or the range ($150 membership) able to draw from holster, discount on classes, soon to go out 5-600 yds with steel plates. Or i can drive to the valley and shoot at Ben Avery

Or ....hypothetically suppressed 22 in an undisclosed area ;)

[Great-Kazoo]

The hummingbird feeders attract a decent flow of traffic. There's an inquisitive one who has no problem literally coming with in inches of you.

He/she fly's around your head, chirps a few times, then takes off. Seeing there's no threat will come back to visit some more before a final goodbye. We're hoping we get a visit when we're sitting down.

[BuffCyclist]

Yea, in NM, if I drove an hour, I had access to a 1k+ yd range. Was building up my long range skills at 200-400yds (reloads included) before I went out there. Then we moved and I never got the opportunity. :(

I just cant justify that cost, especially with the long drive to get to the range. If it was that high and 15-min away, it might be more manageable. Oh well, one day we’ll have better access to a range.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Got a lot of wiring done today....all of the lights are done now.

There's still some stuff to do in the cab but it's mostly done as well.

[BuffCyclist]

So OBC, whatcha buildin'? Seems like quite the project! I haven't gone back digging but it looks like it'll be a pretty nice truck when you're finished!

[OtterbatHellcat]

Thank you, I think it will be.

It's a '79 F-250 but it has a 7.3 powerstroke in it. I actually started the project eight or so years ago, but life problems hindered progress for several years. It was actually Labor day weekend last year that I took the cab off the chassis and replaced the first engine that I put in. So...this last year much has happened, and it's getting close to completion. I should be able to get a decent pic of the whole thing after the driveshafts are done and I can get it outside again. Driveshafts are waiting on the T-case install, which should be ready to pick up Mon/Tue latest.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Lobo,..what happened to your car Man?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Oh the shit that's running through my head as I look at a calendar.

tick tock, tick tock.

[ChickNorris]

Good morning people

Yeth.....backed with the 4R-100.

The engine itself is still stock other than the turbo which has the back pressure delete and a wicked wheel. I might take the chip out of the ambulance and put it on the truck one day to see how it behaves.

[Irving]

Heading east on I-70, I must have passed 10 Corvettes, most with California plates. Now that I'm going the other way, over 50% of the eastbound vehicles are Corvettes.

THE 6TH NATIONAL CORVETTE CARAVAN IS SLATED FOR AUGUST 28-31, 2019.


Often referred to as the world’s largest moving automotive event, the National Corvette Caravan is a celebration of America’s Sports Car, culminating in Bowling Green, Kentucky for the anniversary celebration of the National Corvette Museum. Hosted only once every five years, the next event is slated for Labor Day Weekend 2019 and will mark the Museum’s 25th Anniversary. Leading the charge will be Jeffrey Duda of Hainesport, NJ, a Lifetime Member of the Museum and previous co-captain of the New Jersey 2014 and 2009 Caravans.

Regional caravans will form and join other caravans as they travel across the United States to meet in Bowling Green, Kentucky for four days of festivities at the National Corvette Museum. An event such as this requires years of planning and coordinating. All help is appreciated!

2019 National Corvette Caravan

[OtterbatHellcat]

Just a guess?

[Irving]

I'm sure that's it. It's like seeing a once every decade locust migration or something.

[BuffCyclist]

OBC, that sounds like a pretty cool project! The detailed photos you've shared already make it look awesome, can't wait to see the more completed thing!

And I used to be in a Mini (Cooper) club in NM. They would go on monthly day trips to see various things. It's quite the sight to see 50+ Mini Coopers driving in unison, reaching their destination, and then filling up only a single parking space. [ROFL1]

[ChickNorris]

Hot day. Fun day. Long day

Good night

[Erni]

Too hot today. Doggo ran out of juice half way through our long walk.
Tackled the garage org today. Put up an 7ft 2x10 board, got some forked hooks and put them 16" oc. All larger hand garden tools and piwered tools got hung up. Needs some further masaging, but got everything off the floor and out of the way. Just need to do a similar approach for extension cables. The cleaning and crap reduction is slow but ongoing.

[Irving]

Welding continues to be difficult. You'd think I'd be better by my second time. :p

4 day event? Those vette fuckers drive at 50 mpg if that, when doing the car club thing. Imagine some of them left home Memorial Day

[Great-Kazoo]

Just need to do a similar approach for extension cables.

I picked up a few of those accordion style hat racks for extension cables and my welding helmets.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Organization.....FTW.

That was my intent. I'll be doing my best to avoid the MSM barrage coming our way. I may be a cup ahead on the coffee front.

Does the forum software maybe have regular maintenance to clear stale connections on a schedule? That would be my guess.

Who did their part to "Free the Nipple!" and went to the topless parade in Denver yesterday?

Im looking into it. Think its not vbulletin though as much as an add on. Trying to source the source.

I shot Hoser's tactical matches without a single wardrobe malfunction.

[Gman]

Well, Justin Timberlake wasn't there, right?

[ChickNorris]

Giggle.

I kind of like him actually. He's super funny when he's goofing off with Jimmy Fallon.

[ChickNorris]

Today's secret word is either: Phoenix or Band-aid

Maybe both.

Like peewee's playhouse

[Gman]

Band-aids have value. I can't say the same for Taylor Swift.

[ChickNorris]

Oh, thought I had the feel of my new trigger sorted. Shot two matches yesterday & well, apparently not while on the clock.

Was feeling unwell yesterday too but that's not a legitimate excuse as I did manage cut over 40 seconds off my best time ever on one stage. That has me @ par with the ... well, I'll just say it doesn't wholly suck. I'll take it as my win for the day.

Ive done nothing but drink from a firehose in the last year & I'm still insatiable when it comes to my thirst for improvement @ each match. In addition to my usual training I had hoped this upgrade would be a marked leap, instead I just kept my usual pace & even stumbled a bit.

Lots of fundamental range work on my bill for the next two weeks if I don't want the same mediocrity at the Big Ben Tactical. Need to rule out my failures before I prescribe a remedy & make mods to the trigger.

[ChickNorris]

Ugh, I hate shooting from a bench.

[Gman]

I like it, but I also have physical limitations. Standing works too. Seated, Kneeling, and Prone are extremely difficult for me.

[ChickNorris]

To be clear, it is a worthwhile skill to maintain for purposeful work.

Still don't have to like it.

[Gman]

Objection noted.

[OtterbatHellcat]

instead I just kept my usual pace & even stumbled a bit.

CN...it's possible you might take some value of my opinion, don't know........however, with your impressive strides in improvement and tenacity for getting better, you're not going to be a world class markswoman in a year I don't think. There are so many variable aspects at each shoot, take pride in your advancement. You're going to have peaks and plateaus....might be some more time before your next peak, be comfortable with that. It will come.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I have a sad.

No call that the T case was done. :(

[OtterbatHellcat]

Fallon is extremely talented, but I hate his guts due to his views. Timberlake has done some really funny stuff on SNL over the years though. Especially the "dick in a box" with Samburg and the "Single Lady" bit with whoever the hell that singer is.

[BuffCyclist]

First day back at work.

Lets just say that I quoted Dora the Explorer...

[Irving]

For a day that I scheduled to be "off work" it's pretty fucking stressful and eventful. Stupid ass second job as the only employee of the company I started.

Chick.N, quit apologizing to me all the time. I don't deserve to be nice to 100% of the time, nor am I above reproach.

I make an absolutely amazing pecan pie.

Related ish :

Miss making pumpkin pie as Festal's farm is long gone. Not worth making if I don't have proper pumpkin. Libbys bought them out & that libbys squash they call pumpkin is rancid filth I wouldn't feed to livestock.

[Irving]

Aren't there other places to get pumpkins? Does it take a certain kind to make a good pie? I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie (but I love me some pecan!)

Speaking of pumpkins, I've already given three pumpkins to my neighbors. One the dog knocked off the vine. The other two are full orange and it seems that once they turn orange, they stop growing. I'm expecting at least 10 basket ball or larger pumpkins this year. I'm excited.

[Gman]

I love pecan pie, but I find it so rich I have trouble finishing a slice. Apple is my favorite pie.

[Irving]

I love pecan pie, but I find it so rich I have trouble finishing a slice. Apple is my favorite pie.

Have you tried it on the rocks, or just cutting it with water?

That's what I do with flavored whiskey.

[ChickNorris]

I carved & wore a pumpkin on my head one Halloween. It was more comfortable than I thought it would be. Maybe you've already grown your costume.

Festal farm grew a particular pumpkin ideal for pies which yielded about 2/3 per acre less than what Libbys grows & calls pumpkin. Had I known, I would have paid double for each can (which was already quite expensive) if it would have kept the farm going. Best part was you could preorder your pumpkin & it was shipped directly to you. When they were sold out that was it until next year.

Might be you don't like squash pie as you've probably never had real pumpkin pie with the proper kind of pumpkin. Exactly why I don't bother making it now.

[Fentonite]

I went to a tasting/class at Laws Whiskey House. Didn’t know what I didn’t know, and was impressed. Still more of a tequila fan, but bourbon is starting to carve a spot. And they’re going to start distilling an agave based spirit (can’t call it “Tequila” if not from Jalisco, or at least Mexico - not sure), but I’m looking forward to it. In unrelated news, my quads are sore. Pathetic really. I spent about 30 minutes hanging / squatting on the outflow grate at Sloan’s Lake yesterday to rescue a couple of ducklings that were swept inside. All in all, cool that babies are back with mama-duck, but I’m embarrassed at the mild exertion that made me feel so sore. The new me ain’t what the old me was. Or the old me ain’t what the young me was. Either way, meh.

Nice work. Tell me about getting older. I've had an injured shoulder since April from trying to pull start that f'ing post hole digger that I have.

[Fentonite]

April? Brother, I’d be worried about a rotator cuff injury. Hopeful PT can fix, but I’ll shoot you a PM.

April? Brother, I’d be worried about a rotator cuff injury. Hopeful PT can fix, but I’ll shoot you a PM.

Yeah, it was both shoulders for a while, but my left one seems to be fine. I'm sure it is some injury and I was thinking rotator cuff. I haven't had the time, or money, to get it checked out. Now that we have insurance, I think, I'll probably have to get it checked out this winter.

It's painful all the time, but hasn't really prevented me from doing anything thus far. When it was starting to feel better, I started trying to work out and push-up and pull-ups really flared it up.

She's got your number bro.



You are somebody that I don't know
But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patron
And I'm just like, damn, it's 7 AM
Say it in the street, that's a knock-out
But you say it in a Tweet, that's a cop-out
And I'm just like, "Hey, are you okay?"

And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression
But I've learned a lesson that stressin' and obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun
And snakes and stones never broke my bones

So oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to calm down, you're being too loud
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh)
You need to just stop
Like can you just not step on my gown?
You need to calm down

You are somebody that we don't know
But you're comin' at my friends like a missile
Why are you mad?
When you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD)
Sunshine on the street at the parade
But you would rather be in the dark age
Just makin' that sign must've taken all night

You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace
And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate
'Cause shade never made anybody less gay

So oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to calm down, you're being too loud
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh)
You need to just stop
Like can you just not step on his gown?
You need to calm down

And we see you over there on the internet
Comparing all the girls who are killing it
But we figured you out
We all know now we all got crowns
You need to calm down

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to calm down (you need to calm down)
You're being too loud (you're being too loud)
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh)
You need to just stop (can you stop?)
Like can you just not step on our gowns?
You need to calm down

Dora is difficult to watch because it's truly made for kids. Lots of kids programming has a lot of nods to adults. Dora (and Diego) doesn't, and all the characters scream every line.

I thought I might like to go with someone but I suspect everyone's wives will freak out on the whole coed aspect so I'm guessing it ain't gonna happen.

[ChickNorris]

Never would've occured to me either u ntil someone pointed it out too.

Weird to me how some folks are.

[ChickNorris]

I thought it might be fun to try birds, whenever that is.

[ChickNorris]

Instead, I'll probably just do sporting clays.

I think birds are late summer, but that's one thing I've never even looked into, so I don't know.

[ChickNorris]

& read everyone's posts about hunting. Exciting indeed.

[ChickNorris]

I remember hunting Pronghorn with my Daddy when I was a little girl, might be fun to do that again with someone.

[ChickNorris]

All I've got.

Good night people.

[whitewalrus]

Dove starts 01SEP, most other birds are OCT at the earliest

[whitewalrus]

Hunting is next month, and the month after that. Are you guys excited?

Yes cannot wait for it to kick off

[Irving]

If you guys marked on your calendars every time I was wrong about something. You'd have to buy a second calendar.

[whitewalrus]

Instead, I'll probably just do sporting clays.

You should do sporting clays, most fun you can have when shooting clays

[whitewalrus]

Maybe so, percentage of wrong may be low as you post so much. So there?s a positive take on it. :)

[whitewalrus]

Ive had to vacate my usual haunt & adulterate several other threads this evening.

Just saying. The handgun use on bear thread was properly hijacked for near 3 pages.

Yes that turned into something on the PWT really quick

[Great-Kazoo]

Take the daughter and s-i-l out shooting yesterday afternoon. Everyone thought the other grabbed the ammo and mags. Fortunately i have some items stuffed in my pack, so it wasn't a total loss. Instead of shooting took them off roading to see the sights from up in the hills.

I went to the range with my rifle to sight in and everything to shoot clays except the shotgun. Happens to the best of us I guess.

[Irving]

Son of a bitch. I just found out it's only Wednesday.


That's despite reading Hoser's post about it being Wednesday in one of the match threads.

[ChickNorris]

Well, few more hours & it'll only be Thursday.

[Irving]

According to the phone call I got today, I'll be getting an annual phone call to answer questions to satisfy the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act. Super fun. https://searchfinancialsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/Bank-Secrecy-Act-BSA

And people bitch about NFA requirements.

Looks like I've got some reading to do in the near future.

Hello Fellas

Woot, woot! No work until September 3rd.

[ChickNorris]

Nice.

Have anything fun planned?

[Great-Kazoo]

Woot, woot! No work until September 3rd.

Nice and here i am, looking for a pt gig

[ray1970]

No plans. Probably mow the yard soon and then maybe spend a little time straightening the garage. Going to a concert with the family on Saturday. Probably squeeze in a motorcycle ride and possibly a day trip on the ATVs.

[ChickNorris]

No range time?

You can come down and do my garage, it's a wreck.

P.S. There's a 5 gallon bucket with 14 quarts of used trans fluid that needs to be disposed of.

FT for me.

Planning to smoke up a brisket in the pellet grill. Make some queso. Pick out our puppy on Monday.

Someone is cleaning up folks' garages? I could use that.

Anything specific for FT employment? There's a decent hiring run happening in the Phoenix area. Some jobs up in the quad cities area, a few for local municipalities .

[ray1970]

Doubtful. A typical range trip for me eats up at least a half a day.

I see your bucket of ATF and raise you four or five buckets of used oil.

I just seem to keep accumulating it. Between two vehicles, three motorcycles, and two ATVs the buckets seem to fill up quick. Finally quit changing the oil in the vehicles but still doing the other stuff myself. I need to quit being lazy and haul it off.

[ray1970]

Ha. I thought Kazoo was looking for a physical therapy gig.

[ChickNorris]

I use used motor oil to fuel my metal furnace. Designed a gravity fed system not dissimilar to an ancient Chinese flame thrower. Works like a charm. Unfortunately it works a little too well & if I don't babysit it every moment it can get so hot it'll burn holes right through my crucibles.

The only oil I generally change myself is the truck @12 qts (2x/year) and the boat @4 qts x2 engines (1x/year) and I try to get it disposed of right away. Keeping the first set of oil jugs for waste and rotating helps. I FU one time and bought a 5 gal pail of rotella for the truck and got a little jammed up even with a big oil drain pan in the picture. Getting oil out of the 5-gal was a PITA too.

I used to be able to change my truck's oil at a friend's using his lift and proper garage gear. Then his neighbor that was picking up the oil to burn stopped doing so, requiring me to dispose of the oil myself. ;-(

Very specific in the IT world. Not looking to relocate just yet.

Hey, do you guys ever feel like just taking a nap?

[brutal]

Hey, do you guys ever feel like just taking a nap?

At least 3 times daily, but I suck at napping. Unless it's "napping" in the RV at the lake with the wife.

[Irving]

I tried to sleep a bit in the car yesterday. It's tough in the hot ass summer and when I have less than an hour.

[ChickNorris]

I can nap because I don't sleep.

[ray1970]

I've found beer helps me nap.

[Gman]

Hey, do you guys ever feel like just taking a nap?
Yup. I've learned to appreciate them as I get older. I think they're onto something south of the border with the 'siesta'.

Most anywhere that sells oil will take the used stuff....Walmart or auto parts stores.

I take it to an O'Reilly 3 blocks away. Hard to do if it's not in a closed container.

[Great-Kazoo]

Left over baked potatoes staring at me from the frige.


Anyway diced them up, tossed in hot skillet with bacon grease, added some habenaros , and onions. Almost there, in goes the Garrrrlic and done! spur of the moment meal, or i'd of defrosted some pork green chile.

Hello people

& now it's only Friday.

[buffalobo]

Maybe.

[buffalobo]

Back to building deck. Rather be fishing.

[buffalobo]

Had a blast with second trip to State Forest.

[buffalobo]

Mrs bo killed it again. Limited out each day.

[ChickNorris]

I'm going to climb a tree & play with power tools today.

[ChickNorris]

[buffalobo]

She wanted to see moose again and got her wish.

Spent about 30 mins fishing with bull and cow feeding across the lake 50-70 yds away.

[buffalobo]

Will post old video from few weeks ago(bad technical by me) and new video from earlier this week in Nature/wildlife thread.

[buffalobo]

Reba dog started to bark until both 700# + critters turned to stare across lake. She backed up 2 steps, shut up and layed down.

[buffalobo]

Last time she raised hell when noticed moose and I had to hustle her back to truck to avoid causing scene or ruining other folks chance to watch.

[buffalobo]

I'm going to climb a tree & play with power tools today.Use power tools to cut it down and won't have to climb.

[buffalobo]

I try not to defy gravity unless neccessary.

Silly, I'm a master at defying gravity.

Middle. Aged. Woman.

[Gman]

I defy the law of gravity every day just by getting out of bed. This morning I wish I could have kept obeying the law.

Did some physical stuff yesterday and am reaping the rewards.

Workin' on some coffee waiting for my morning meds to kick in. Mornin' folks and Holiday weekend happy TGIF.

Be safe out there CN.

My thoughts were wandering while I was up in my perch just now & James Mattis quotes kept coming to mind...

The most amusing of them might be:

Be polite, be professional but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

Think he also said to engage your mind before you engage your weapon.

There's rarely a lot of cars on 89, till the weekend. Forget about this one. Friday's here and so is every 5th wheel hauling, razr towing truck in AZ.

BC, update with some dad stuff. The fishing story recently was cool.

[buffalobo]

Taking a few minions fishing this coming weekend at Lake John.

Hoping fishing picks up from what it was midsummer.

Slow fishing at Lake John is how we discovered Ranger Lakes.

[BuffCyclist]

Ha, I've barely seen my kids this week. Thanks work for being such a buzzkill and getting in the way of my family life!

My wife, in-laws, and kids (did they even contribute any money?!) bought me a fire pit for my birthday next month. It came in a ginormous box, which is now a "fort" in my backyard. My girls take markers with them and color the inside of it every time they go outside. I can't wait to see what they're drawing when the rain comes, ruins the box, and I have to throw it away.

[BuffCyclist]

Good luck fishing! It seems like they're starting to bite more now that its cooling off a bit.

My oldest wants to go fishing again tomorrow, so we may end up going out last minute. Good thing we live at a lake!

[BuffCyclist]

Watching a stupid show right now, and they show the view through a scope like this:

https://i.imgur.com/EJVAv2xl.jpg

Am I the only one that is skeptical? Distance to target is 1.3k, yet the zoom is only 14.4 and a man fills the entire FOV?

Also, how much does one have to spend on a scope to get the built-in range finder (the distance to target keeps changing as the scope moves around).

edit: LOL!! The distance to target changed from 1.2k to 1.3k while moving from the guy on the right, to the guy on the left. Apparently, they're throwing punches over 100yds! [ROFL1]

[buffalobo]

Hope to have a couple hours to slip over to Delaney Buttes with my pontoon, take at shot at trophy size.

You know, that actually makes sense!! [facepalm]

[ChickNorris]

I switched out my fancy 45 safety selector for milspec yesterday. It was restricting the overtravel on my trigger to near nil & was messing with my mojo.

I don't care for mojo mussing.

I'll play with the sd-e as it was designed for the weekend & then decide if it's the right trigger for me. Least enough to move forward with it or not.

Fussy business fine tuning.

[ChickNorris]

Oh & it stalled a few times. Likely from fouling as expected.

Can't have that. Ever.

[ChickNorris]

Also decided to move my optic as far forward in the mount, & the mount as far forward on my reciever as possible. While back I moved to center the rifle on my chest just under my eye & it's a preferable alternative to what I was taught before. However, with that change in fundamentals I was head bobbing & wrenching my neck a bit trying to find the sweet spot for eye relief that stock adjustments just didn't manage. Got a bit of tuning to do there as well, eventually, but there was no sense in reinforcing bad posture without promised effect on progress.

Now I have my single point of index from which to rebuild.

[ChickNorris]

All that said I need to zero my rifle today.

Big Ben tactical match is next weekend.

[Gman]

Hope the changes work out. Have fun at the range!

[ChickNorris]

Yeah. I don't know what's up with me lately. . . I like the idea of everything but when it comes to the actuality I'm just not that into it.

Like onion rings.

[ChickNorris]

You know what I mean. . . Wait all day, get there, order & once they finally arrive you're so excited to take that first bite. . .

& then you're immediately over it. The idea was better.

[ChickNorris]

F*ck.

[ChickNorris]

Off to the range now.

Like onion rings.

[Irving]

Is this the beginning of the end?


Tune in next week to find out.

Today, in the great state of Oklahoma, we registered 2x 2016 year vehicles (van and motorcycle) and a 2000 year vehicle (SUV) for less than the registration cost of the van in Colorado (had I not applied the DV plate to it). Total for all 3 vehicles? ~370 bucks.

In fact, the SUV in CO was ~200 some odd dollars if I recall correctly. Here? less than 70.

Does OK still have inmates staffing the DMV dial-in numbers?

Be careful if you ever buy a vehicle that was previously registered in a native-American nation. I know someone that went through hell trying to get it registered by the state.

[CS1983]

Might be an El Paso county thing, but I dunno. The one thing I was always glad about was the DV plate for the van. I think CO would have charged us like 490+ for that without the fee being waived.
