Funeral Service

Fury is a must see. I liked it. I'm biased too because I am "tread head".

They've been promoting a new Regal Cinemas down in northern Virginia that's like that. You can even order dinner beforehand and eat it in the theater or some such thing.

BHD is superior to SPR in all aspects including historical accuracy and believeability.

BHD=Black Hawk Down yes?

Since this is the monthly "Hey what y'all doing" thread:

Finish up work, start the car again, smell the same smell. Open the hood and sure enough, there's smoke wafting up from the exhaust manifold. Drive it up to the shop (after picking up my kid) as it's a small amount of smoke and I can tell it's dripping from somewhere above. Checked all my dipsticks, everything's in the "Green" so I knew I'd be alright getting it there. Guys at the shop check the plugs for all the fluids, all dry and good. Oil filter is dry and good. So we start looking at where we're seeing oil on the engine. Turns out it's seeping from the seals around the oil pressure sensor for the VVT system. The one on the other bank is starting to seep as well. At only 60k miles, this isn't something we should be seeing, but apparently it's common on the 2010-2014 Legacies as the guy at the parts warehouse finished the sentence for the mechanic when he was saying what parts he needed. It's a $200 job including labor. I'd do it myself, but don't want to run the risk of screwing up the VVT system. It was going fine until you brought your automotive misfortune into this thread Reb....

haha, sorry.

I was run off the road the other day headed home from work. Guy was straddling the center line around a bend. Sideswiped a guardrail and did 3K worth of damage. Worse part is the guy in the oncoming lane never even slowed up and I never saw him again.

That's Niq

I think the Nano is a slick little gun. The shield has a nice feel for a sub-compact as well.

I was shopping for small single stacks (9mm or bigger) a few months ago.

The Nano felt okay in my hands, but I don't like that it doesn't have a slide release.

I think the whole M&P line really nails ergonomics, and the Shield feels really nice in the hand. I didn't like the thumb safety though, and the version with no safety wasn't available at the time.

I didn't get to handle any of the compact Walthers, though I've heard great things about them.

I ended up getting an XDS (in .45, even though 9mm makes more sense) because of the lack of dinky, hard to manipulate thumb safety and how it felt in my hands. Only the 3.3" existed when I bought mine, but the option of the 4.0" barrel while keeping the small frame is a nice option if your carry style means you won't notice a bit of extra barrel/slide length.

It's also worth noting that any of the striker-fired guns will have much nicer triggers than the DAO hammer-fired guns like the LC9.

I'm looking forward to Fury, more looking forward to his wife's movie; Unbroken -  the story of Lou Zamperini one of the best books I've read in a long time.

I was happy that apparently we were done, as a nation, endlessly rehashing wwII, but I guess not.  \(._.)/

Pearl Harbor is always good to watch. I also really like planes. I wanted to be a fighter pilot when I was in daycare up until I realized my eyes were not fit.
