    I have a couple S&W .44 mag 6" barrels . Nicknamed them the dragons cause when you shoot them at night a 5-8 foot flame comes out of the barrel , pretty cool. I am more interested in rifles now though than handguns. I want to become a better long range shot, been playing with a 30.06 that I bought like 5 years ago and now I am starting to look at building a custom, just have to figure out what I want and who to do the work . Purely for zombie control . Not really into hunting.

    I've been home for 12 and and itching to get back on the road. However, I made the mistake of telling Thermo King that they had until the end of the year to fix my APU, so truck is still sitting up at their yard...lol

    I hear ya. I'm more into rifles than pistols also(I have plenty of pistols)....however buying a rifle right now is flipping ridiculous. the AR that I bought just a few months ago is now almost quadrupled in price. I bought my other AR in pieces and spent probably half of the cost for an AR, and even pieces are getting extravagent now. Ugh. I'll stick to my WWII vintage rifles for now lol

    Gun prices/stocks have been crazy as of late up and down . Hopefully things go back to normal and we don't see any long term changes.

    Back from Hometime, I probably should have taken more time off,
    And December was going to end without a Fight!
    217 mile load , full Tarps no less.
    speechless ( but I can still type )

    I am starting to hate the Dallas/Ft.Worth area.

    lol that sucks. I am supposed to come back Monday, but never heard from TK, which is closed until Monday...if they arent closed till Jan 2....needless to say, I dont think I'm coming back monday. Anywho...I figured I'd stay out three weeks, then come back home end of Jan for another 20 days. :D

    dude,.....dude....du...

    the load was 8 hours late getting ready for me , 2 stops , 2 trucks in front of me on the tarping crane , left a mere 15 hours after I arrived ( I was a few hours early getting there )
    The other drivers thought I was weird wanting to get out of there ( I was movin ) I was just afraid I was going to start getting mail there. It was far from being a horrible day just 2012 is being a clinger.

    Well hopefully your enjoying all the time off , personally I can't stand sitting around at home that much, and I spend too much money when I leave home/not working. Nogg what is freight like for the beginning of the year thru the spring ? steady ?

    Yeah, it starts picking up around mid Jan. It's still a little slow due to weather and stuff, at least for me cuz I plan for extra time on loads, but it does start picking up.

    And trust me, with all the money I spent on guns and ammo...I need to get back to work. However, I am telling them tomorrow morning to put me on board next monday. Gunna take my vacation now. lol (I still have 23 days off to take!)
