  1. Hey Tony, I bought my Tromix conversion fom you on 9/8/2006. I have called several times in the last 6 months with a problem and can't get a response. Let's try here. My maid put some cleaning shit on the floor of the closet and destroyed the LimbSaver on the folding stock. It sunk in and has become sticky no matter how much I cut off. I wanted to buy a replacement but you don't seem to have time. Can you at least tell me the size LibmSaver to order and I'll try to cut it down myself. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Maybe the lady that answers your phone isn't really forwarding my messages? Thanks again.

  2. This is not a dip, it's a disaster.

     

    Dow opened down & quickly fell 1,089.42 points. That's not a typo, 1,089.42 Only barely did it manage to close above the October 2014 low (15,855), and that only after climbing 588.4 points off the low.

     

    Broken beyond repair.

     

    Note that crash cycles last six to eight weeks. That popping sound y'all hear are just the corks coming out of the jugs -- party is just starting.

     

    Dow fell 588.4 or 3.57% to 15,871.35. S&P500 lost 77.68 or 3.9$% to 1,893.21. Investors had all weekend to stew over Friday's losses & you can bet the sell orders were stacked higher than they hung Haman this morning. Market opened & there just wasn't room for everybody to get through the door at the same time.

     

    Dow in gold fell 3.1% or G$9.10 gold dollars to G$284.23 (13.75 oz), now in shooting distance of the uptrend from the 2011 low. Go look, y'all will seldom see a chart like this, http://schrts.co/C46U5s

     

    Dow in silver did nothing because of silver's loss today, but is still broken & destined to fall much further. Ended at S$1,390.27 (1,075.29 troy ounces).

     

    More shocking even that stocks' performance today was the US dollar index Early in the day it simply tanked, falling 248 basis points (2.61%) to a low at 92.62. Ended down only 145 basis points (1.53%) at 93.56. Chart is here, http://schrts.co/OkJ5UT

     

    Dollar index SMASHED its 200 day moving average and only barely closed above the June low (93.30), ending at 93.56.

     

    If this happens in the green tree, what will happen in the dry? This took place IN SPITE OF millions flowing into US Treasuries, witnessed by the 2.78% fall in yields.

     

    Euro rose 1.89% to $1.1604. Who in his right mind would look upon the euro as a "safe haven"? Nuts. Gapped up and over the 200 DMA. Headed higher as surely as the US dollar is headed lower. http://schrts.co/yysHLa

     

    Most shocking is the yen, up 3.05%. Gapped clean over its 200 DMA and closed at 84.42. Pushed it up to way overbought on RSI.

     

    This dollar fall presents the today's biggest question. Normally a stock market crash does not take down a national currency. If anything, just the opposite as investors rush to cash for safety. This is a right bad sign.

     

    Gold lost 6.20 (0.53%) to 1476.2while silver fell 53.9 cents (3.5%) to 1476.2.

     

    That sent the ratio up to 78.133, following the pattern of the ratio in 2008. Most obvious explanation is that Gold is catching the flight-to-safety money but silver is not. I'm still trying to fit this together with the dollar's plunge. Look at the chart here, http://schrts.co/kh9gOy

     

    Plainly I misjudged gold's strength on Friday, and its ability to punch through the resistance from $1,155 to $1,190. Will gold be sucked down with stocks? That's not what the Dow in gold says, but now we have to wonder about silver.

     

    Shades of 2008! Premium on US 90% silver climbed another 45 cents an ounce today, about offsetting the drop in price. During 2008 the premium on all physical silver rose well above 50%. Paper price dropped, but physical refused.

     

    More choices: maybe gold is merely correcting the vertical rally that brought it to the top channel line. About all that's sure is more turmoil. No matter whether silver & gold are pulled down in the maelstrom of stocks crashing, the aftermath will see them soar. Already you are better off to have swapped stocks for either gold OR silver than to have held on to stocks.

     

    Silver's drop today shouldn't surprise us. It ain't gold, after all, but gold's little brother. Still, both today and Friday behaved much the same, with a sudden drop and just as sudden recovery. Toward day's end, however, silver looked tired and began inching down.

     

    White metals were knocked down today. Platinum lost $35.60 (3.45) & palladium crumpled $29.40 (4.9%).

     

    It's a panic. If you've ever lived through a house or forest fire you know what that means, the fear that grips and the confusion what to do next.

     

    All in all, no matter how this panic rolls out, I'd rather be holding silver or gold in my hands than dollars. Call me paranoid. 'Twon't hurt my feelings a-tall. I ain't no more'n a nat'ral born durn fool from Tennessee anyway -- but I didn't own no stocks, remember.

  3. Thanks for sharing the technique. I've not seen that and it looks like a great idea. I use a carbon steel pan when I am not grilling them on the Weber. The Weber has the advantage of allowing me to add some Pecan wood smoke. At Christmas they put boneless Prime Rib Roast (not really Prime, either Select or Choice) on sale for $5.97 a pound. I go down and buy about about 12 - 20 1 3/4" Rib Roasts. The butcher just looks at me and says RIb Roast? Yep because if I say Ribeye the price doubles or more. Vacuum Seal & freeze them and I am good to go for another year. smile.png I do the same thing with Salmon once a year when it is $5 - $6 a pound for wild caught Pacific Salmon. Only way I have found to eat like a king on a paupers income.

  4. The interpretation is based on intent when you build your weapon system. If your intent is to manufacture a pistol with a wrist brace then that is what it is. My intent was to build a pistol. I shot it from my shoulder once in a awile. My intent was still to build a pistol. How the H$ck can BATF prove my intent was otherwise? I have SBR's. THe advantage is as a truck/car gun that can go across state lines without all the paperwork.Additionally, I don't want to use a stamped weapon in self-defense. JMHO If you go to the gorilla and say "Can I use a wrist brace to build and SBR" what do you expect them to say? Nothing has changed in my opinion.

  5. Wortham target of website Ebola hoax

    The Ebola virus

    Mexia News Staff Report

    A hoax-news website caused panic Monday after it claimed the Ebola virus had taken hold among Wortham ISD students.

    The National Report (nationalreport.net) made the false claim that 17 Wortham kindergarten students "fell violently ill and tested positive for the Ebola virus." The story claimed a fictional, closed-down nursing home was housing the children.

    "Panicked relatives lined up outside of the former Hillsview Retirement Community in Wortham awaiting news about their sick children," the fake news story said. "One woman who was visibly distressed had to be escorted from the premises by armed security guards. Several trucks carrying bio-hazard decontamination equipment were witnessed throughout the property to help minimize the risk of others becoming exposed to infection."

    “We have received probably 30 calls over it,” said Wortham ISD Superintendent David Allen. “Anytime you take time away from someone trying to do their job you compromise something. When someone creates this type of lie or chaos it always takes away from productive time.

    “It takes you back and makes you wonder why someone would put that up. It is just not humorous.”

    Wortham ISD has procedures in place to keep parents informed in the case of a true emergency, Allen noted.

    National Report website appears to be a legitimate news site, with a layout similar to that of the Huffington Post. However, its stories have drawn outrage and protest from readers who believe their content, and the website snopes.com has numerous stories calling out National Report's stories as lies.

    The Wortham story had been shared on Facebook by 7,442 people as of noon yesterday, having only been posted five hours prior.

    Just last week, the site claimed the entire town of Purdon, in Navarro County, was quarantined due to Ebola, the town ringed by medical and law enforcement personnel.

    Email to National Report publisher Allen Montgomery was not returned as of press time Monday.
