If this does pass, when would it take effect?

Fingers crossed. Been holding off buying one the last couple of months.

AutoZone will give you $10 gift card for each. Others may do the same. Exchanging the core with purchase is a better value, of course.

I'm in the same boat. Can't decide what to do. Will have 3 it's with me. Don't mind a late night, but don't want to make the trip for nothing more than supper.

That said, what's a good spot to eat dinner last minute in the area? Something other than fast food, but appropriate for uts (10-13yo).

This will be a bummer. Got 4 tickets gifted to me this afternoon for tomorrow nights game. Prime seats to boot. The three youngsters I was taking will be disappointed.

Mustard, cornmeal salt/pepper to taste.

Whatever your choice/method, that will be some fine eating.

None before and none since, thank the good Lord. I'd guess 35-40k miles. Money well spent in my experience. I'll need a new truck one day, but I'm hoping to get all I can out of this one.

re: Savage 350 Legend accuTrigger

Posted by Goldensammy on 4/23/25 at 6:23 pm

I have an older axis (non xp, I guess?) and the trigger is indeed heavy. Not the worst, but could use the spring upgrade. Never got around to it. I've not shot in a couple years, but not due to the trigger. Killed a pile of animals with it, as have my kids.

I believe the current models are the Axis and Axis II, and latter comes with the accu trigger. The former does not. Just find the model number and you should be able to find out pretty quickly.

I wouldn't pass on a good deal simply due to the trigger. It's not that bad, pull it is an easy upgrade if desired.

leadframe issue

This. I had the same issue a couple of years ago. I was past the 150,000 miles (extended due to recall). Shame on me for not reading that mail.

I bought the part online and found a transmission shop to do the work. I spent roughly $800 between parts, labor, plus tow to shop. Still running strong at 215k, knock on wood.

Wow, what a putt to close it out. Tomorrow should be a great watch.

Anyone else not realize P. Reed was T-4? If it weren't for him being on the first page of leaderboard, I wouldn't have known he was even playing. Broadcast certainly doesn't do LIV any favors.

Thanks for the thread and info. I got it all set up last night. It worked for a few minutes and then nothing but "Response Code: 400". Cleared case and forced stop the app, went to bed. This morning I opened the app and all seemed fine until I changed the channel. Same response code, black screen.

I used the sparkle code above. You mentioned no HD channels. The guide shows both SD and HD, so maybe I didn't something wrong. Thoughts?

Fire stick, no VPN for what that's worth.

re: Jon Boat trailer speed question

Posted by Goldensammy on 3/27/25 at 10:06 pm

If this a one off trip, just take precautions. Otherwise, just go buy a new set of tires, radials. Can't say I've ever known anyone that regretted buying a decent set of trailer tires. Peace of mind and whatnot.

But I'm cheap, so I'd just opt for the maypops and regret it later down the road!

These are no longer available I see. Is there a comparable alternative?

I wish I had one of these for the deer camp or when traveling. I procrastinated too long, though.
