Lucky you. I learned that my M1A SOCOM 16, the Trijicon TA70 scope mount, and the Trijicon TA648-308 do not work together the way I had hoped they would.
If you were a true rifleman you'd use the iron sights. :P

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I learned a lot about scotch and Irish Whiskey

I learned a lot more about grilled cheese sandwiches

But I did not learn which whiskey goes best with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Did not see that thanks rod. Depending on a variety of factors those vans may have actually been at top speed. Many or our vehicles have 55 or 65 mph governors in then.

Two things:
Freshly microwaved mac & cheese is very, very hot.
Eating salt & vinegar flavored chips with a small but fresh 2nd degree burn on your lip is a very bad idea.
