That cutout shape on a Les Paul looks so cool. Lovely finish, to boot!

My purpose in mentioning music is that there is the intangible of writing or playing something that other people want to hear and the very quantifiable ability of someone to play something that is...

This is it. A guitarist who plays nothing but Green Day songs won't ever be able to play like Eddie Van Halen or Steve Vai. The illustrator that only copies comic books will never be able to draw...

I picked up one of the Spike's 5.45 uppers a few months ago when they were in-stock at AIM and I'm still waiting to see how it will be long term. I've put about 400 rounds through it in 3 range...

Apologies for the huge info dump, I've been updating this as the thread has progressed to address points as they come up.

The big issue with software piracy and the PC Industry is its effect on...

It's a pretty good Cajun place, too. This is a pretty good way to pull in some more patrons that aren't familiar with it. It's a block or two down from a free parking deck, too, so there's no need...

I'm going to geek out at you about how to try and match Rhodes' sound with your Cube and a Plexitone, so if any of this stuff is something you already know I apologize. I'm just being thorough and...

The LTD 300 and 400 series get pretty nice. It's a shame that there's a bad solder connection in there because the wood and finish look pretty fantastic (if there's absolutely no sound, it's most...

For the pleasure of the woman who gave it to me, I started off with Ratt's Round and Round. Then I was able to move on to Judas Priest/Metallica/Megadeth/Iron Maiden and lots and lots of metronome...

Having found one for a price that was irresistible, I treated myself to a 1978 vintage Dan Wesson 15-2.

And because I wanted it to be both awesome and hilariously...

I picked up a bottle of Caol Ila 12 year as a storm tonic. I have a few different varieties of Ardbeg and Laphroig and figured that I needed to start expanding the number of Islay distilleries in...

I've got a CZ452 Trainer and, assuming the 455s are remotely similar, it's a solid, accurate .22lr. The bolt on mine was a little stiff out of the box but oiling it and working the bolt for 15...

I didn't see it mentioned and, if it was, it bears repeating: Read Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.

Thanks for the input. Not having shot revolvers before (other than a friend's stepfather seeing how much I liked his bear defense 44 mag loads through a model 29) I guess I was being overly paranoid...

I've seen double action revolvers mentioned quite a few times by people as a solid way to help develop good trigger manipulation skills. I was wondering if a double action only semi-auto (true DAO,...

29/50 - Inexperience + rushing meant dropped shots on everything except dot one but hey, gotta start somewhere.

If you're down by Quantico, make sure you check out the Marine Corps museum. The building itself is a cool piece of architecture and the exhibits are all really well done. Lots of guns and...

I'm going to cheat and do two so that there's some stylistic coherency to each.

Rock:

Van Halen - Let's see them from the 1984 tour. Great album, Eddie was on fire, Roth was at the top of...

Nice pair of boots, some form of jump boots or another have been my daily stomp around shoes for a terrifyingly long period of time. I'm actually looking into getting either a pair of Dehner or...

The most hilariously overpowered build I came up with went:


Max Alchemy, make +enchanting and +blacksmithing potions
Max Enchanting, use the +Enchanting potions to make a set of...

I'm a new enough shooter that I'd be lying if I claimed to be doing anything that tested reliable or repeated indexing of the grip, so take the following response as being of dubious value. As it is...

I'll probably be there a little closer to 7 than 6:30ish so that I'm not running out the door right as my wife is coming home. I'll be the yahoo with long hair, probably reading if there's a wait...

In that case, I'll try to be there if work doesn't step in the way. Hope to see you guys on Thursday.

If you guys don't mind me asking, is it ok for shooters who are substantially earlier in their shooting journey (aka myself) to tag along for some advice and feedback? I'd love to meet some of you...
