I am actually on the road, but working right now. Had to get online to check a few regulations and had a few minutes to kill, so guess what I decided to do.
Rain was horrible this morning though, and did delay me a half hour or so. The first hour of my drive was limited to a max speed of about 40-45 MPH because I couldn't see well due to the heavy rains.Edit:
Anybody got experience with the Sig 556? Similar in design to an AR, but with a piston driven mechanism instead of gas operated. Pretty cool. I like it!

I had a blast this weekend. Kind of went OT in my conversion thread I guess.

I hate driving in intense rain. It's so dangerous, much worse than snow.

I doubt I'll ever have the armory that Lisa hints at owning, but my areas of interest are so spread out that I'd need to triple my income to come close! Still, I know if I'm really stuck where to get good advice!

Even still, I bet neither one of our collections come close to others on this forum.
So, hows the possible move to Hawaii coming?

Thank you Jeremy. This is the second hardest thing I've done in my life. I've got to post in this thread every few hours just to keep track of where I am in the damn thing. I actually answered a couple of questions in the tech threads over the weekend. If there is a downside to this oh so fun OT stuff, that's it. But I think I read somewhere in here that someone joined FTE just because of the OT thread. Go figure.

Who joined just because of the OT thread?

I'm your huckleberry. 
I think this is what he's referring to. Someone coming to FTE for another reason and finding the OT thread. Quoted below.

That's exactly what I was referring to. Thanx again man, I never would have found that on my own. He may have already been a member, maybe a non diesel member and came to our home looking for something. Whatever, it don't matter. Does it?

Girls get SUCH the free-ride!!! LOL
It's an idea, but I think I'd have to hit Powerball for that to happen. Besides, the 'big boss' here just sent me notice about a full-time position that's open. He says the pay is "very good" but I'll wait & see what they offer. Still, I'll throw my hat in for it - it looks better when trying to buy a house anyway, and now is a great time to buy. Then I can work on getting the Cobra replica too.... hehehe
So, just how many guns do you own Lisa?

That's really interesting. One of the songs I am going to ship out to you is about that very subject. It's called "I Got The Guns" by Roger Creager. You're probably going to get a little sappy when you listen to it. I do.

Are you trying to imply something? 
Fantastic movie by the way, Tombstone.
Yes, I've been working on you to buy a house for forever. DO IT...if you can get a friggin loan that is. Just remember, once you buy a house here you may be stuck for a while. I know you're a bit of a gypsy.
How many? uh lets see...guns...after Randy and I get hitched (assuming he's nuts enough to ask) it'll probably be in the hundreds (THEY ALL BE HALF MINE...Hahahaha!). Dad's collection was not anywhere near that.. in the dozen range. My .357 was my Christmas gift last year from Randy and the only gun that wasn't pa's.
I can't wait. I need some new music.
I was asking because it would definitely be interesting if we had a member join just to participate in the OT thread. That would mean they heard about the thread from someone else. Publicity.

Gypsy??? It's not my fault my parents' named me after a traveling monk!! My birthday is also on the day that San Fermin was drawn & quartered in Spain.... odd that I'm not in to the religious thing at all.... though I do like to hang about in a robe!!! LOL
