  1. I'm gonna rock this bitch all winter hopefully. Or until it drives me crazy eough to trim it down. Strangely enough, it was the wife's idea.

    Fortunately, I don't have a patchy white trash beard. Unfortunately, it doesn't grow very fast. Patience is not my strong suite either. My week 4 probably looks like day 2 for the rest of you. :lol: The thing I can't stand is neck hair. So I'm trimming that up for a nice looking thick chin strap.

     

    I also piined this thread to the top of the Time Wasters sub-forum.

  2. I've been to LEPD a few times. It's pretty cold in there when over gone, so wearing my jacket and scarf the whole time kinda sucked, but I thought it was clean and the people who work there are polite and helpful.

     

    Apparently they listened.

    I was there yesterday, and the heat was running full blast right above the shooting box. To top it off the wall where I normally hang my coast had a fresh layer of wet paint. SO i was shoointg with a fall jacket, and heat blowing in my face.

    All kinds of fat kid hatred right there...:)

  3. To hell with the Hilliard Gun world. That place is laughable at best. Stop in and judge for yourself.

    LEPD is where I go to shoot. Nice range setup, prices are ok for time. Firearm prices are stupid.

    If Woodbury in Jeffersonville is like Coshocton, ammo will be stupid steep, and firearms will be at msrp.

    I've heard the new Vances store is nice as well.

    Blackwing is probably the best, but really really far out of the way.

  4. He arrived at my back bumper, hovered for a second then passed.    I had been in that lane only a few seconds, and he (half) joined the lane at the same time that I did - he just was traveling faster than me at the time he joined the lane.  I didn't have the option to move right because by the time he reached the half-way-in-the-lane point he immediately departed the lane and began his pass.  He was never fully in the left lane behind me. 

     

    This fills in what the video does not. Captain road rage did not give him an appropriate amount of time to merge back.

    It's one thing to camp, or impede. It's a whole nother thing to not have a chance to move.

     

    Again, no fault with Scruit.

  5. Watch the video again, specifically the very beginning where it shows him passing(going faster) than the traffic to his right.

    Now, watch it again and pay attention to how close he is to the vehicle in front on him. It's 2 seconds, give or take.

    Finally, watch it a third time and pay attention to the vehicle he's following and the red vehicle in the immediate right hand lane. The traffic flow was going faster than the red car in the lane to the right. If you watch until the end, the SUV that Scruit is following is side by side to the red car.

    He wasn't camping in the left lane, he wasn't impeding traffic, he was moving faster than the traffic to his right, and he was a safe distance behind the vehicle he was following.

    Nowhere in the ORC does it say you have to yield to road rage infused assholes in big trucks.

    The roads in this country would be a better place if they had more drivers like Scruit(solely based on the video evidence presented in this thread).

     

    1. I see he is passing the traffic two lanes to his right.

    2. I will agree 2 sec follow distance, which is a safe distance to follow.

     

    I never said he was camping in the laft lane. I said from the video the immediate right lane looked open. Apparently enough so that the truck aka Captain Road Rage, following passed in it, then cut back over.

    I also said, I was not there and cannot speculate. I'm speaking about what I see in the video.

     

    I never said it was Scruits fault either. Nor do I find him at fault. That was captain road rage all the way, without question.

  6. Can any one show me the law that states this? ORC #? legal cases that give precedence to this concept?

    As far as I am aware, the speed limit applies to all lanes of travel, and that would include the far left lane.

     

    OP states He was at the speed limit, therefore what law makes him wrong for being in the left lane?:

     

    http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511  - Operation of motor vehicle

    4511.25 Lanes of travel upon roadways of sufficient width.

    I'm not a lawyer, so I don't read law that well. Interpret what you will from that.

     

    You are correct about the speed limit for all lanes of traffic.

     

    The concept of lanes of traffic is simple.

    Stay to the right, pass on the left. When people start weaving in an out of traffic because they are impatient, they cause accidnets with innocent motorists.

  7. Are you saying I was in this driver's way?  I was keeping up with traffic in the fast lane.  Not sure what else I could have done.

     

    While I agree that you were keeping up with traffic, the far left lane is not for cruising at highway speed, it's for passing slower traffic. You had a clear lane to your right, and faster traffic behind you. You could have moved to the immediate lane to your right. I wasn't there, so I don't know what was in that lane. I'm making that assumption based on your video.

    With that said, that dumbass, who was probably pissed you were camping in the left lane, merged into your lane at his front of his rear door on his crew cab. His dumbass fault. He either has really, really bad depth perception, or it was retalitory.  He was probably cited for unassured clear distance. Again, his fault not yours. I would imagine, that he expected you to brake when he began to merge. It does not look like you reduced speed or braked until you were clear of his truck at about the the 6.5 second mark of your video.That being said, accidents happen fast, and reaction times vary. I do not fault you for that. It does not look like you sped up either, with malicious intent.

  8. I got married last October. Best thing I ever did. We set a budget, and managed to stay under it.

    From my experience, stay small. Stand your ground with your soon to be inlaws. Because they are going to want to invite every effing person from their big ass family your soon to be spouse hasn't seen since she was 10.

     

    My wife and I saved for 2 years. We paid for everything out of our own pockets. Had the wedding we wanted, came out in the black on the budget. It's not hard, but you have to stand your ground. I had many a arguement with my MIL.

     

    The most expensive bits.

    Photographer - paid the most for, disappointed the most in.

    Caterer - Most places in columbus are around $23/plate. We found a hometown caterer, better food and half the cost.

    Booze - can't save a whole lot, unless you buy dirty cheap

     

    Stay away from Metro areas when planning. One place in Columbus wanted $13k to have the ceremony, 4 hrs of reception time, and beer and wine. That did not include food, decorations, invites, cake, dress, tux. My advice is to stay close to your hometown roots. It's soo much cheaper.

     

    Destination weddings can be cheap, or expensive. My wifes cousin did a destination wedding to the Florida keys and spent more money than we did having a traditional wedding.

     

    As far as churches go. Find churches that you like. Then call them to see if you would be able to have your wedding at there location. Most of them will charge you a fee. Or require you to use their pastor. Or your pastor talks to their pastor to make sure you won't be sacraficing any goats at the alter. We are weslyan, and were married in a methodist church.

     

    Do what you want, and spend what you want. Don't let anyone else tell you what you need to spend, or where you need to spend it.

  9. Sounds like a Casper problem......and why does it say member"s" under non-supporting avatars.

     

     

    I beleive you can change that under your profile. Or one of the mods could do it for you.

     

    I also see nothing wrong with your picture.

    Perhaps a cache flush of your browser is in order.
