    Yeah but you guys are a rough crowd at times.
    And I get to hear about it.
    And actually I don't care save for the repots and my phone chimes and I stop what I am doing and log on and its someone moaning about this or that and it amounts to NADA and I do something to stop it and get back to work and my phone dings and its the complainee complaining he is being Harrassed and I shut that down and get back to work and my phone dings and its him again and i shut that down and back to work and my phone dings again and damn if it aint him again ignoring the PM I sent him and the cycle continues. 4 times peoples. 4 fracking times. No DD-4's were referenced but being a vet was. How many of you guys are vets.....I have a good idea.

    So now I am seriously PO'd and put down my tools and tell the terrorists (shop help) we are done for the day.

    This is what I was doing
    Ground up Resto on a 1964 Impala S/S
    So you guys just have a ball OK.....:p

    Have you considered just fragging the complainers as the quickest way to settle things down? :whistle:

    That guy seemed to be trolling but my grandfather swore by a .38 special, he carried one in Vietnam. He did not like the 1911 and claimed it was inaccurate. Just one mans opinion and use whatever you're comfortable with. Just thought it was funny. I like the .38 revolvers myself, but I dont carry in that caliber.

    In the country, hopefully.
    There would be very few of you guys left.
    Hell man last night alone would have reduced the ranks by 6.
    I’d say Trapper Jim would have every right to report me for my faux pas a bit back. A simple mix up in names, but that is really bothering me.
    I bet some of us, him included, would never even think about whining and tattletaling.
    Thanks for your hard work.

    Soooo ... you don't want to change the way you dress or the way you carry but you want suggestions on what you can change to look more presentable at church. Got it. Maybe wingtips :rolleyes:
    Hey thanks for the advice. Not really a wingtip kind of guy. However I have found that since I am now spending a lot of time at the door and in the parking lot with all of this ice and snow I had to give my Elephant skin Lucchese's a break and go with a new pair of waterproof Clark Chukka style dress boots for traction. (I know you were being sarcastic but that is ok.)

    Well that looks like a lot more interesting than babysitting us idiots. I gotta know... is that NOS in the bottom pic going in this project, or is that from a previous?
    It and another just like it are slated for this project.
    1st stage is on a WOT micro-switch fired at a given RPM. The second is elective as in a scramble button. SB Chevy makes 545-ish @ the crank and the 2 systems total 300 so you do the math.

    If I don’t get a ride in that I’m gonna be super pissed :):

    Sounds like a trip to IRP is in the future.

    If someone has a link to this discussion please post it. I searched but didn't see anything. We have passed a concealed carry policy at out church. Most people won't take advantage of this and that is fine. For others it won't change much. For me, as someone who has appendix carried for more than 10 years now it is going to be a change. As an elder at the church I can not dress how I would to make appendix carry viable. From what I can see the best course of action would basically be dress like a police detective. During the summer months this is probably going to be a bit uncomfortable but I get cold much easier than I get hot so it will be doable.

    So is there anyone here who carries at church and dresses well? By that I mean no untucked shirts mainly. If so, give me a quick rundown of how you do it please? BTW, I will probably use OWB not IWB as I just got a bunch of dress pants that fit and really don't want to by a bunch more in a bigger size.

    Not sure I ever went back to the OP of this thread.

    I sometimes wonder if God ever gives a **** about how I dress or my compliance with "church policy".
