Alan, if you tell me you watched the whole thing I'll watch it.

Ray, you were asking a while back about gas prices here. I filled up yesterday and it was $1.73 :0

That Bruce Lee commercial was really well made. I wonder how they did it. It's obviously impossible to use nunchucks with that kind of precision.

That's as close as you'll get to a white Christmas in Louisiana. You'd get tired of it quick if you had to shovel it and scrape your car windshield regularly. Things like this snow brush are a normal thing for Canadians to keep in the car year round. I like the fact that living in Florida I don't have to ever see one.
-
Jeff are you serious? I didn't know this was possible, it looks like Canada. How often does this happen? Well, make the most of it. Make a snowman with the kids and throw snowballs at cars passing by

I have it but it's for a stubby. I'm waiting to find a Riffe stubby in my backyard.

I was doing some chopping of bushes around my back yard and found this knife. The plant grew through the hole and raised it up off the ground otherwise I wouldn't have found it in all the dead plant material on the ground. Funny thing is I considered on and off over time getting this knife for spearfishing. It's a cheap $10-$20 knife commonly available. I never got it because I think the bare metal grip is not comfortable. Well now I have it. Cleaned up very nicely with just a dish washing scrubby and water, rust is gone and there's no need to polish it. The stainless steel must be pretty good eh Jim
Didn't find a sheath though..

Welcome to the forum Joe
It's been a while since that time with Pantoja, I remember we had a good time. Everybody, Joe's a good diver. I've seen him dive and shoot a grouper directly where I was looking but didn't see anything Glad you're back and looking forward to diving with you this winter. -
Cojones, that looks like a serious machine. Serious business metal detection. What you said about the cut off fin for fanning reminded me of Cuba. Over there very few people have a metal detector. I knew a kid who's father had one. But often you could see guys with nothing but a mask and snorkel fanning the sea bottom along the beach. They used a paddle/fin that was cut out of plywood and was fairly rigid. For a footpocket they nailed a piece of inner tube to the plywood paddle. I used to wonder how long can one fan with that uncomfortable appendage.

Stevo, if it's not a trade secret
can you post a link to your gear? I'm curious to see how different it is to the common metal detectors I see people using on the beach and how much it costs. I imagine it has electric circuits and a battery pack and that the whole thing needs to be waterproof. -

The Riffe butt pad has one hole and one screw as opposed to the JBL butt pad that has nothing but friction keeping it on. I was thinking that the same hole created by the hole saw can be used for the screw.
-
Thanks for the offer. When I said chisel I meant remove in a rough way, scrape, cut or whatever it takes
Would it make sense to make the mortise round or is it the same amount of work as making it oval (shape of the stock)? I was thinking to shape the stock with a hole saw as is normal for conventional butt installation. And also make a round hole in the butt pad. It would keep the profile of the pad somewhat smaller still retaining functionality. In the case of a round joint it would be 1" in diameter. Also in case it doesn't work out I can then use the conventional butt pad. -
I could do it with a hole saw. The question would be how to get the material out. I could take it out roughly just by chiseling at it and finish the bottom of the hole with a dremel and a grinding disk. I'm still not confident using my router and I don't have a router table.
-
Damn I'm again considering using one for my gun. It looks very good and sounds comfy. Do you think shaping it to fit like a conventional butt pad (mortise tenon) is feasible?
-
That definitely looks nicer.
What is the reason for it being concave? I figure since you're chest loading it should be flat. Maybe the extra mass on the outer edges compresses to flat when loading spreading out the pressure evenly.

Here's what Marco had to say about that (he lives in PR).
Well, as many of you may know it is a very (VERY) good eating fish. The meat is similar to the hogfish but even better for me. One of my favorites.
