honestly if you plan on shooting someone in the head you better be shooting them in the back of the head. You'd almost definitely miss that big round nice target if you shot there the first time. People don't move their center mass quickly, but they will naturally duck when something's pointed at their head.

Practice is the best thing you can invest in.

There is never such thing as to much training.

The best weapon one can possess is the mind though.

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE!!!!!

Hence my desire to leave here and go someplace that does more firearms training.

I have counted now 6 bad calls/no calls so far in the MNF game.

Ever looked at private companies that do training?

Interesting note,

Tonight on the way home from the gym, Amanda calls asking if I signed up a phone with Sprint. I never signed up with Sprint. Turns out they sent a bill for $117.10 for a phone I did not sign up for. Here is where it gets interesting, I called them as soon as I got home;

> Sprint said it was signed up on the 23rd of this month

> They had the correct address and home phone number

> Only 6 people know my home phone number

> They had the wrong D.O.B.

> They had no social#

> There were ZERO minutes used

> I have never been a customer of, or been in a sprint store, or been in their system

> The phone number has been active for over 5 years

> It has been a virtually dead account during that time

> They had no record of where or how the account was activated under my name and address

> They require a deposit if they have no social # to start an account

> There was no deposit to start the account

> Amanda called a co-worker to pull my credit and it has not been pinged in the past 6 months

So, magically I had a bill that appears to be a system glitch or a hack job out of the blue. Very high quality security and account management by Sprint.

Unreal.

Point in Case...

My Polaris Sportsman weighs more, and breaks a little more than my buddies Honda Rancher (Both the same year model). BUT when it comes to riding my ass stays planted to the seat while my true 4wd (no limited slip BS) gets me around things and my buddy is jumping off the bike because he has to man handle his bike out of the hole, but it does "get the job done". It really has to be a bit embarrassing when your riding with the ladies and you have to ask them to jump off to get out a hole that the buddy in front just cruised through with another chick on. So sure I have some more maintenance issues but its a hell of a trade for something that is more stable has much better midrange (where you really need it in an ATV) and gets me where I want and overall just performs better

A little off topic but I feel the same way in both situations

my friend has a polaris, and another an arctic cat, both extremely heavy, but have alot of power, and theres are so much faster, but when it comes to the mud, our rancher 420 and foreman 500 always prevails =-)

Thats weird because I see the exact opposite. In a speed contest I ALWAYS jump the rancher but the 5th gear is enough he always has enough to pull me on the top end. In the mud though I would always put my money on a Polaris or Artic Cat, ESPECIALLY over a straight axle Honda. Rider skill is king in the mud but no amount of rider skill can overcome the limited slip front end.

and IMO the Rancher 420 is gutless, though the foreman rubicon 500 is a nice lil bike the sportsman 500 would be chosen over that with all bias's aside

[Tmax98 3]

how about a poloris 800

rode one of those babies, and all i can say is WOW!

[Tmax98 3]

heavily debating removing the "crossfire" badges from the back of the car. Still can't decide though

Take them off, badges are ghey.

I've noticed that most all Ford owners say "it gets the job done". "it gets the job done" = mediocrity. It gets it done but don't ask much else. That doesn't sell me vehicles.

What more do you want from a utility vehicle?

The E-150 is nothing but a big box with an engine and two seats in it. I'm not going to ask for thrilling performance, because when I'm hauling plywood or moving stuff I'm not asking for a thrilling ride, I'm asking for utility. Literally, it is a point-A to point-B vehicle, and I have no demands beyond that. That's where the motorcycle would come in

Sure, when I sat in Brooksie's H-D F-250, yes, I would have a very different set of expectations from that vehicle than a standard commercial vehicle, because that's trying to fit in a different market niche.

Actually getting the job done is something that the GM can't seem to do. I yanked my boat yesterday with the truck and now something is howling like hell under the hood. Bearing went south in something. Basically GM's lack of quality has just completely axed the CTS-V off my shopping list. Sort of the last straw. Biggest POS I have ever owned.

i hope the fantasy football gods have mercy on me tonight lol

this season really sucks, and a win this week is really needed

Well, I know about suck.

My QB: Carson Palmer

My WR: Andre Johnson, Braylon Edwards, Ocho Stinko, Steve Smith

Fuckin' great, I can't win a game this year Oh, I have Larry Johnson too who was on my BENCH this week.

[///M5 2,833]

[Godsmack 361]

But really, why wouldn't you have him on the bench. He had gained, what, like 120 yards total in their first 3 games? Though he does always do really well against the Broncos, and with Damon Huard starting over Thigpen I may have given Grandma-ma the nod since they at least had a chance to move the ball through the air that way.

But yeah Edwards and Johnson have underachieved so far. I think Steve Smith will be getting back on track, he sorta did this weekend.
