Here you go Blake.. I bought this camera tripod at a hunting show I was at this weekend. My friend and I thought it would be cool to try and turn them into shooting tripods. So I made this removable gun clamp to use as a gun mount. Still need to do a little touch up and painting.

Jeff, he's doing alright. He has alot of pain still, the Dr's are definately thinking about 6 months on grandpa. I might get out and see him tomorrow morning and then go work for dad for the day.

For your 02 I would go with autometer z-series, thats that I have in my truck and they match the stock dash pretty well. They weren't too badly priced either.

I am an Isspro fan, they have done me right for 5 years now, not a glitch. Well, I had some bulb problems a while back, but they sent me all new bulbs and holders for free. I had had them for 2-3 years when that happened. I have the EV's also.

Remember, you can get that stuff through the DTR store.
Mark, I haven't seen him or talked to him personally but his family is saying he's doing well for the situation he was in. He was a longtime friend of my parents and a neighbor for most of my life. A friend/naighbor of mine are thinking of going out to see him after his surgery. He's living about an hour from here now, moved a few years ago.

I like the isspro gauges too, would have got them but when I installed the gauges on my truck I got a better deal with the autometers. A friend of mine sell performance parts/auto parts at a local speed shop and cuts me a very good deal when I buy from him. I send alot of business his way, and order alot from him when I work on trucks on the side. I get all my parts at cost with no mark up at all, he doesn't make money off me but when I send someone to him he makes money off of them.

Thats my little laser, Savage .17 I'm going to mount the 7mm tomorrow to see how the stand handles heavy recoil.. We seen a mount at the show but the guy wanted $130.00 bucks for it. I made this one for $6.00 and it works great!

Yes, however, I am not authorized to wear it. I do put the thing on from time to time at the OL's request ( ) or when I've been drinking and thinking about the good old days...

Evenin, Eric. The EGT's on the edge ran cooler on the low end, and hotter on the big end.

Sounds like you did good Eric! Spending only 6 bucks is alot better than $130! I'm sure that 7mm will give the tripod a good test on heavy recoil.

Ah, the To-Go Cup of Beer! Went to a small bar on the beach in Santa Rosa FL last summer, they served to-go cups of beer. Bars around here don't do that.

I get sick sometime when I see how much regular people pay for parts, I'm glad I have that friend of mine!



Dinner tonight was Steak Fajitas, sauteed onions/greens peppers, and pico. Dinner was good!

Took the wife to her dads earlier tonight. He's taking the wife and her sister to the airport early in the AM so they can fly to Jackson MS to see their mom. The FIL live about 30 min from the airport and we live over an hr away. The wife has to leave by 0430 for the airport, if she stayed home we would be leaving around 0330. She didn't wanna be up that early.
