  1. I bought an echo dot with a smart plug in or something. Never tried any of this but I saved like 35 bucks so I'll give it a whirl. Signed up for that prime card and bought 500 coffee filters too. No errors for me but I was shopping at 1am

  3. Selling my MP9 I don’t know round count. It’s in good condition. It’s a gun, I used it.

     

    Price: 800

     

    Yes, this probably sounds overpriced, I haven't been in the scene for a while, shoot me reasonable offers. I see this goes for 370 after rebates right now. Keep in mind I've changed out the god awful mp trigger and the sights with high quality parts.

     

    Trades considered: full size p320 in 9mm threaded

    CZ sp01 threaded

    Beretta 390 (wood furniture) 12ga

    Beretta 391 12ga

     

    There are items I will part out after others have been sold if no one wants the entire package. I’ll discuss more of this below.

     

    Comes with the following

     

    MP9 with threaded barrel

    1 non threaded barrel

    5 mags (I numbered the bottom with white out for competition)

    APEX DCAEK installed (Duty Carry Action Enhancement Kit)

    Dawson Precision Competition Red FO Front Sight

    Dawson Precision Black Competition Rear Sight

    Blade Tech Holster (Used this for USPSA)

    Another OWB Holster I had made, my dog chewed it up a little. Still works. I used this one for my daily carry.

  4. Well a member here offered me a chair which I'll probably take them up on that offer post surgery.

     

    I don't have any insurance so everything is going through workers comp. I don't know if I can request anyone special for any of the PT or whatever but they said my surgeon is pretty top notch and my Outlook for full recovery is extremely high.

     

    For the rest of it, I feel pretty unlucky., If my heel wasn't broken I could've gotten right back to work but, for once the cards weren't in my favor.

     

    I took the spill and tried to go as limp as possible before impact (I've wrecked a motorcycle twice so I've had some practice in this area). My immediate thought was that my ankle was broken so I took off my Spurs to get my boots off to make sure I wasn't bleeding everywhere. No bleeding, I wasn't paralyzed, I could move my toes and my Achilles felt to be okay so all the big worries were okay.

     

    I rolled up a cigarette and had my ground guy get me my phone so I could contact my boss to notify him and see where he wanted me to go to the hospital. I got off the phone with my boss and he was going to text me an address so I had the ground guy start packing up our gear while I called my other worker who was taking a load to the dump and picking up our mini skid. I notified him of what happened and let him know we wouldn't be there when he got back.

     

    Got the text to go to OSU ER on Taylor and E. Broad.

     

    Get there and spend about 15 minutes in the waiting room filling out paperwork while a few other people get called in ahead of me.

     

    I'm in the room for a little bit getting the normal questions, is your skin normally this color?

     

    Yeah beetch, I normally look like Shrek.

     

    What happened?

     

    I fell 30 ft out a tree onto concrete like I told the lady at the front desk.

     

    All hell broke loose at that point and they rushed me into internal trauma or something like that, cut all my clothes off and I had like 15 people around me freaking out like I was going to die. It was rather funny how quickly everything changed. I guess if you don't go into the ER screaming your head of yelling death and murder no one thinks your injury is a big deal, I don't know.

     

    Anyway, it took them about 5 hours to give me any medicine. I had to ask 6 different people if I could get some Advil (I didn't want to sound like a junkie). I got a ton of x-rays from the neck down, CT scan and MRI all of which was new to me.

     

    End result was a broken calcaneus (heel) and a small compound fracture in my back which they don't know if I've been living with since my last motorcycle wreck that I never went to the doctor after or if it was from this event. Either way the neurosurgeon didn't think it was anything with fussing about.

     

    I have surgery on the 11 if my swelling has gone down enough, 4-6 months till I can start working again and a year till I'm really back to myself.

     

    I'm super eager to get back to climbing trees again so I'm sure my attitude will really help with the healing process and what not. Oh yeah, big plus is I'm quitting cigarettes. I guess nicotine really delays the healing process so I'm 4 days in nicotine free as a pack or more a day smoker.

  5. How does one shatter a heel? What broke?

     

    Broke my calcaneus. I do tree work. Not giving a detailed event until everything is settled. I fell 30 feet onto concrete though. Everyone told me I'm lucky and all things considered my injuries are minor however, this is supposed to be a really painful break.

     

    I keep forgetting the correct terms so shattered heel is my go to.

  6. I have an AR already as you know. I like it, it's fun but I think the ak is way more fun to shoot and it's a rifle I want to get accquainted with and be comfortable with the mechanics and operations of it like I am with my ar.
  7. First off, I haven't been following prices recently with all the bands and yada yada talk so, are prices inflated right now?

     

    Now teach me about an ak 47. Which ones are junk, which ones aren't? Where's the best place to source one?

  8. Didn't read any above recommendations but personally, red wings aren't what they used to be. I hated my last pair. Break in on them was terrible for the first week and they got destroyed quick.

     

    Danner are really good boots, I was impressed with mine and they hold up very well. Break in was comfortable, they're great to walk in all day but they're a tad heavy.

     

    I'm currently on 2 pair of meindles that I rotate daily. They're probably the best boot I've ever owned. Another super comfortable break in, they're holding up really well but I think part of it is opening more than one pair.

     

    I'm in them 5 days a week rain, snow, mud doing tree work and they're holding up extremely well.
