    AJP shipping rate seems high

    I got all my paint from Rapco. Last year I ordered some more spray cans of red oxide. You all know the color of red oxide right? Well these cans were not red oxide, but sort of a dark lavender. I sent it back to him. Gave it enough time to get there then gave him a call to see what he thought...

    run ins with law enforcement

    All have been cordial here. I always wave first whether they wave or not. But they usually do return my wave. Some just look at me and drive on. While returning home one day after an outing I could see a DPS vehicle coming up on me. I had passed a wreck a few miles back that was being...

    Why convert 24V to 12V

    This is my opinion: Nothing wrong with the 24volt system. It's just as reliable as any other system what ever the voltage. Most reason you will find 24 volt systems converted to 12 volts was because the military 24volt components were hard to find back when. I believe since the internet things...

    Am I even registered? Dumb registration question

    You got it right Rory, Seems like the countys are not consistant. Heck most of them have never done a registration like this before. I was the first to do it in Hardin County in 07. The clerks are having a learning experience.

    Am I even registered? Dumb registration question

    Sorry I can't get the font color back to the color of other post. I would say you are registered. I don't know if a sticker is presented also with a plate if you wanted a plate instead of opting to use painted on numbers as a registration number. I used painted on hood numbers, eight digits...

    Sorry to be a pain, but the only thing I saw on the mission statement about the location was that its off Hiway 47. I suppose there must be a sign saying "This Is It"?

    Hello!

    My M38 was delivered to the army in Sept. 1951. I obtained it in around 1995 from my brother after he quit hunting. He got it from and individual in Houston TX. My brother and dad and I used it for hunting in west Texas for about five or six years. After I quit hunting out there I brought it...
