The post whore thread.

Good deal, Belly. I was kinda on the other side of that coin today trying to get comfortable with that scope for the AR. I didn't do very well...I'll get it figured out though.

We did kill the AR steel iron man target...we noticed that it had cracked....the kid shot at it and the head came off, I hit it right after him and the the body split in half. I was pretty decent with the SK and it's shitty scope today.

Whats going on with the scope?

My bank card has been compromised. Again. In March I caught it quickly and stopped it before there were any major charges. No such luck this time. I'm overdrawn by $1600 right now. Fuck.

Sorry to hear. But stop using your bank card for anything but the ATM. Use a CC with miles/rewards and religiously pay it off each and every month from your checking/savings.

Keep your checking low if you can. I keep the bulk of my bank funds in a savings account and transfer if needed. Just have to watch I don't hit the bank's monthly account transfer limits.

Colorado State Bank & Trust. I've been with them since they were First United Bank and my family set up our accounts with them when we moved here in the mid 90s.

FUB aka Fucked Up Bank. Used to be a client. OMG what a train wreck of a bank.

I've been pleased with USB, also a current client. :-)

try moving cross country, buying a house and making min wage. Others have gone before you, some successful, others not so well. Think positive, don't go crazy and try living below your means till you're settled.

Amen brother.

Took almost a year to sell our house in WI after we moved here in '92. What an ordeal. Ended up leasing (renting) it out and got hosed on that. Have a judgement against the renters but never collected from the deadbeats.

OBC, you will be fine.

Thanks, Jim and Brutal. General feeling of helplessness, but I'm gonna keep on truckin'.

25 years at the same place, with the same woman......and it's all changing, and it ain't free to be doing it. If God is real, and he doesn't have a hard on against me, stuff should work out alright.

Hi Belly,

I can't bitch too much about something I'm trying to figure out still, but I'm having some kind of problem with the mount on the rail for that rifle. I tried moving the mount around a few times to get the right "feel", and realized it was not in line with the gun. The rings had also gotten loose during all this, fixed that....it's a great scope, I need to spend more time with it.

G'nite fellers.

I honor our veterans every day, but I hope that folks truly appreciate their service and sacrifice, and show it tomorrow.

Peace

The first thing to go out the window is the plan.
As shifty as it may seems, it could be worse. She could have played games and taken you for everything. Including having to sell your hot rod. Believe me, outside of you feeling betrayed, you're getting off cheap.


Now get back in that saddle and buck up, cowboy.

What rings are you using? How are they getting torqued down?

Roger that...this is gonna be a whirlwind of stuff going on for a couple of months for sure. I know I ain't the first guy to do this, it's just new to me.

When I first set it up, I didn't have an in/pd torque wrench here at home....I just snugged it up good, I thought. HCWT told me some time back to use locktite and torque it down, and I didn't heed that advice. I'll not make that mistake again. The main issue though, was the mount to the rail. Spotter kept saying "to the right", and I dialed all of the lateral to the left and was still "right". Stopped and realized you could see that the scope wasn't in line with the gun. Repositioned on the rail a few times, etc...and then ran out of ammo.

Good morning guys.
