hey from Mid Tennessee
just wanted to stop by and say howdy. have spent the last five years with Opryland Security in Nashville , recently retired . This was a very rewarding retirement Job occasionally working along side the FBI, State dept. , etc. Before that i had a small family business called sugarplum foods. A Viet Nam Era Vet. 15th AF , SAC , Combat Support.
i'm sure we are in the same boat these days trying to acquire ammo & firearms. Am currently trying to find a model 617 in 4". they are just not out there. would even consider letting my Colt Talo Night Defender in .45acp go.
Anyhow God Bless & all the best in 2021

Since you have "touch" this site you may want to quarantine yourself., as you will surely get the "SMITH VIRUS " which has no know cure except an empty wallet?

Howdy from Colorado. My older son and a bunch of grandkids make their home a little south of you at Manchester, TN. Very pretty country, I like to visit during the spring and fall, but the summers are just too humid and hot for us old southern Colorado desert dwellers.

Sad to hear that. Im a prostate cancer survivor. Don’t be discouraged if you get a cancer diagnosis. Unless it’s very aggressive and has spread it can be treated easily and your chances of a long cancer free life are very high.
I’m closing on 6 years now and my psa is 0.02. I opted for brachytherapy and was very pleased. There are plenty of great options now.
Best of luck!

Welcome from Oregon. I have family about 12 miles north of Lewisburg.
Memphis, don't sweat it. I had my prostate removed a year ago this month, everything fine, PSA 0.01. You will be allright.

Welcome to the board Tim. I'm looking at retiring to southeast TN soon. I've gotten a lot of good information about the area between Murfreesboro and Chattanooga from folks on the board via a thread I started earlier in the week. I'm looking forward to eventually making the move.
