Hidey-ho! It must be Friday, since I put the garbage out. I could've used a combine to mow the lawn last night, it was a jungle. Looks like rain coming this weekend, so I'm sure I'll be at it again soon. Meanwhile, it's been a couple days since we heard the chimney swifts, so hopefully they have left for greener pastures.
Have a great day, Gurus! |

Morning guys....It's Friday, I know because I slept in. Turned the alarm off last night. Cool, overcast and calm right now. Not supposed to get too warm today, low 80's. We are headed to the 'city' as Rosie has a Dr. appointment, I have to pick up some materials and try to get #1GS's car to have the remote programmed. Once home I'll have stuff to do in the shop.
Enjoy the time with your dad, Steve. They are gone much too soon. Brad stay on top of that and it doesn't get so tall. Marcus, take a nice looong nap, old guys like you need that! Catch you later. |

CLOUDY & WET IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING. HAD JUST ENOUGH RAIN TO MAKE A MESS. ANOTHER DAY'S PURGATORY TRYING TO DEAL WITH USAA BY PHONE AND ON LINE. AS I SUSPECTED THEY WANT TO TOTAL THE TOMATO. THAT IS UNSATISFACTORY TO ME, AND I CAN'T SEEM TO GET THROUGH TO ANYONE TO CONTEST IT. THIS IS SURE AS HELL NOT THE USAA I JOINED IN 1966. TEE, YOU WANT BRASS CASES IF YOU RELOAD. AND IF YOU DO ANY GREAT AMOUNT OF SHOOTING YOU'LL WANT TO DO THAT AS IT CUTS YOUR COST PRETTY MUCH IN HALF. STEEL CAN BE HARD ON CHAMBERS IF YOU SHOOT A LOT, ALUMINUM IS OK TO SHOOT BUT CAN'T BE RELOADED AT ALL. RELOADING PISTOL AMMO IS PRETTY MUCH FOR HIGH VOLUME SHOOTERS. RIFLE IS A DIFFERENT STORY. FOR MOST RIFLES YOU CAN LOAD AMMO MORE ACCURATE THAN FACTORY, IF YOU CARE TO DO SO. IT'S VERY MUCH A TIME CONSUMING "CUT AND TRY" OPERATION. I'VE ONLY HAD ONE RIFLE THAT WOULD SHOOT FACTORY AMMO BETTER THAN ANYTHING I COULD RELOAD. |

A really happy day includes DNBFS, Right? All I'm doing today is loading the cooler, helmet and intercom into the race trailer at lunchtime. Someone else is doing the driving to the track. Get to the track at 5, the "Social" starts at 6. The Social means free beer and food. |

How many things can Vulcan wife ask a Vulcan husband in a 24 hour period? I hear my Vulcan name way, way more than I ever care too. Here's the thing, I rarely ask my Vulcan wife for ANYTHING. She talks to me from across the house (and I tell her I can't hear around corners) and ask me to do mundane because at the time she appears to have her hands full. WTF ......................... Oh, you don't want to help me? Jewish women .......... the masters laying down guilt. The above listed items are for educational purposes only. If you're thinking of getting married make sure you go to premarital counseling sessions. Write your own vows. Get a prenup. Get your head examined and make sure you are sane. If not you will be blinded by the light. Wrapped up like a deuce, you know, the runner in the night. That is all .... for now ...... |

Good Afternoon CGs!
I was out in the yard this morning working. I dumped about 8 bottles of shock in the pool and the vacuum is running to get it ready to close. I also shut off the water supply to the sprinklers and purged the system of water. We need to do that in the Midwest or end up with broken pipes in the spring. TB, that constitutional carry sounds interesting and dangerous at the same time. I would recommend taking a concealed carry course regardless. Another benefit to getting a concealed carry license is the ability to carry it in reciprocal states. As far as the ammunition, I doubt you will be reloading your self as a casual shooter. I don't reload because I don't have the time or energy. I have shot aluminum cases with no problem but I prefer to use Winchester brand range ammo. It doesn't jam, it feeds well, and it isn't overly dirty. Some of the cheaper brands really make the gun dirty with deposits. Gris, how about some pictures of the car? It would be unfortunate if they total it but it might be a chance to get something different. Hope everyone has a great day! |

Sorry to hear about the tomato, Gris. Andy should know something about body damage stuff since he's been a target several times already. Start a separate thread of something like .... Well they want to total my vette to gain some insight. VB (Letty) might know something about this stuff too. |

They're an insurance company like any other insurance company, they don't want to pay out any more than they can get away with and make it sh!tty for the people.

I SEE YOU SHARE MY OPINION OF INS COMPANIES :-) WHEN I JOINED USAA THEY SERVED MILITARY OFFICERS ONLY AND TOOK GOOD CARE OF US. THEY HAVE SINCE EXPANDED ENORMOUSLY. I HAD GOOD RESULTS WITH THEM UNTIL RECENTLY. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO LIE IN THEIR CONTRACT APPRAISERS/EVALUATERS. |

OK, I read read the other post and I guess I was wrong....they are willing to pay you twice the amount it would take to fix it and let you have the car to boot. Take the money and run. I guess they just hate to be wrong and won't admit it......Crazy!
