      Suggestions with upgrading to a newer model/style of AR

      I've owned an AR-15/M4 carbine for years now. It actually is an AWB model, so the stock doesn't move. It has a fixed carry handle and the shorter carbine hand-guard. This make it somewhat limiting when it comes to optics and other attachments. With the recent lawsuit settlement and the...

      Kentucky Vacation Ideas

      Berea KY is just south of the area. The Kentucky Artisian Center is north of town just off the interstate. Lots of locally made handcrafted items. Then you can head south into the town/college area. Handful of shops and eateries in the downtown Berea area. If you have a day for a scenic...

      Firewooding 2020-2021 Season

      Does anyone here know if any places sells pre-made firewood sheds? I could likely do it myself, but given other issues going on, I might rather just pay if the price seems reasonable. I've seen a lot of websites for the area folks who do mini-barns and such, but haven't ever really seen just...

      Looking for gun shops with bolt carrier groups in-stock

      I’ve recently started getting some spare parts for my AR-15 M4 style carbine fearing a coming ban on future sales. One thing I passed on ordering last weekend was a bolt carrier group. Tried to order this weekend but the same web stores are now out of stock except maybe some really costly...

      Hot Housing Market

      Moving was always such a foreign concept to me. I'm fourth gen Indy area resident and only two people have moved from two different generations and never returned. A few in my generation moved, but they all came back. Indy being a growing area helps in terms of jobs and from what I've seen...

      Hot Housing Market

      The market is up all over the country. I sometimes think if the wife and I should relocate. We both now dislike cold weather, but we do like cooler winters and changing seasons. I've been a big fan of the mountains and she is a fan of the beach. All the places under consideration have been...

      IU and academic intolerance

      Higher Ed overall has jumped the shark. Too costly, too focused on sports and not academics, and many see it as a youth right-of-passage with the partying and socialization over the intended goal of obtaining a focused education in something. Many of the smaller institutions are going to go...

      Stock market.... What are you doing?

      With the explosion of cases in certain states, I decided to cut my losses and get out of the market. The only stock I had left was Six Flags (SIX). I was -$1,100 for the year, and after buying back a Dec 2020 option and selling the 100 shares I had, I'm now -$1,000 for the year. I figured it...

      Stock market.... What are you doing?

      If interested in some other LE related stocks, look at Wrap Technologies (WRTC). They are the company making a device called the BolaWrap which shoots out a line and hopefully wraps around a person's arms and/or legs and prevents movement. These are the kind of devices the "defund the police"...

      Hiking in Wyoming

      First went out to the area in 2007 (Yellowstone, Devil's Tower area) and got to return in 2018 (Yellowstone and surrounding areas). Our 2018 trip was in August and that year there were a lot of fires around YNP but I don't think any in the park. Just be aware that this could be an issue. I...

      Stock market.... What are you doing?

      Glad to see someone did well. I purchased too quick, but thankfully the options on the cruise lines, amusement park stocks, and some others got me to break even. I think I was in with 200 shares of CCL at around $17/share. You should consider selling some call options to basically make your...

      Cummins to cut 2,000 salaried positions in cost-cutting measure

      Lots of factors at play. Lots of money being passed down from older folks who had it good back in the day. I know of an older person who passed away recently. UAW 30 years, just worked the line. Minimal OT. No kids or wife when he passed. Lots of good stock picks, good pension + social...

      UAW On Strike

      Employing more people, but everyone taking a lower wage, doesn't automatically make things positive for all. The only way this works is if the costs of living, for everyone, goes down. That isn't how things operate though. Housing values would have to crash, new home construction would crash...

      UAW On Strike

      This is what is so sickening about this whole thing. Really, she made $43.8M in two years, yet folks complain about the line worker making $30K in over-time. Even if she paid $30M in taxes, in two years she has $13.8M left off. If her house is $1M, she now has a paid off home and $12.8M in...
