To coast trash such as myself, there is an old saying that helps predict the weather based on what you see when you wake up or before you get back in to the camp in the evening. It weather prediction is usually accurate.
“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”
Your pics all showed the distinctive red reflection from your area during the evening hours; therefore you should get good weather tomorrow. (I know, it was a red photon microlight but it was the thought that counts- I thought you did it on purpose when I first saw it)
BTW- I have since googled it, and this phrase dates back to biblical times, so even a nonpagan like NDD must believe in its truth.
In the Bible, (Matthew XVI: 2-3,) Jesus said:
“When in evening, ye say, it will be fair weather: For the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today; for the sky is red and lowering.”
So much for my gre-gre voodoo... its a fact even the pope won't argue.

I had no idea that a Surefire flashlight had any significant effect on the weather, Mr. Prognosticator.
Do you make this many assumptions in your day job?

Lol
Do not doubt the juju...or suffer the same fate as the people's medic!
Sir, I was simply playing the Aprofsoldier version of Where's Waldo with your pic...
As to your comment, I had already stated that the backlight was obviously artificial... If I was guilty of any poor assumptions- it was giving you to much credit for your potential methods of covertly disseminating information in a public forum. I stand corrected, you simply used a red light instead of a white one for backgroung lighting.   LOL
At least some of the non-coastal folks might have learned something about a natural weather prediction technique.

Yup good rule of thumb. But I perfer Dobler. Much like I perfer a GPS to star navigation.
Saca you going for a FOG award?
TR,
Sir do you know if you Have to have an FFL to get in or not? I'm just wondering if being an LEO Firearms, Defensive Tactics, and Taser Instructor is enough to get me in or do you think I'm going to have to get an I.D. for my Dad's Explosives company to get in? Thanks for any info.
I looked on there web page and only say the FFL, "in the trade" business card,

2. Your 10mm (Lite) on a good day is about the same potency as a .40 S&W (+P). I'll take the .45 ACP, thanks, especially if I lived in a state where hollow-points were illegal. You ever fired at anyone with those pieces?
3. Your .45ACP Glock has a weak, unsupported chamber, so I could not use the LeMas I prefer for carry ammo. Runs fine in the Paras.
4. My P-12s and above all run fine out of the boxes. The P-10 is the only one I ever had trouble with. My Glock 23 is more reliable than my P-10, but less than my other Paras. Caveat emptor, remember?
5. The Glock slide is significantly bulkier, over .30" wider, and more than an inch longer, which by my carry permit, is a LOT bigger to carry than the P-10. I have fired both, holstered both, and laid them on top of one another to check. You shot or even carried the Para or the Glock much?
You carry what you want, and be happy with it.
Don't knock what you haven't tried, especially when your research is theoretical.

You do not have to be an FFL holder, but you have to be in the shooting, hunting, or outdoor industry. Blasting will probably not count. LEO creds may.
Walk-up creds are available, and are ungodly expensive.
Besides, it takes three days of steady walking to cover everything, and the extra day to close loops, pick up gear, etc.
Go to the site, check out the requirements, and either register, or find a local gun store who has people going to see if they will help you with a set of creds.

Good luck!

They have a very liberal interpretation of "in the industry". I sell Leeches for crissake. I got a badge last year. Now my cover is blown....I can't go anyway. I was looking forward to looking at a sounder of Warthogs as well as several other tools.

Seriously, I may be attending as a LEGIT businessMAN.

It is about $20 advance, $100 at the door.
Might be a discount if you wear your Bubba teeth!

Thanks for the info TR.
Smokin'-
I have received my clearance from HH6 for flight in Thurs, flight out Monday. Currently working on getting one of my brothers or buddies to go out there with me and share the expenses on the room, rental car, etc. If I end up going alone, I may see if you can check into that for me. I do appreciate the offer though.
If I come with a buddy, I will get creds down here by starting Saca's Outdoor exchange and getting a tax ID for it.
I'll put any other questions I have about the SHOT show stuff in Air.177's thread he started. http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...ead.php?t=4622

If you get stuck, I have an open bed in the room at this time. Let me know if you want to split it.
Website for the show is here:
http://www.shotshow.org/
LeeAnn Rimes is the performer this year, but tickets will be $90 a head.
