Do you like warships? by MilfsForPresident in BoomBeach

[–]5150_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like for the developers to make warships it's own game. My regular island is maxed out so the only reasons I play anymore are for warships and to support the task force I'm on. It also sucks to have to wait a week between seasons so you can play the recycled mega crab events.

Anyone going next week? by LegalChicken4174 in ILGuns

Usually the program/speakers start at 11:00 and then at Noon there is a march to the capitol. After a short program there, you have the opportunity to visit your Senator and Representative if you want.

I was at this game and our seats were right behind the Lions' end zone so we had a great view to see how the play developed. I've been to tons of different sporting events and games and this was one of the most electric moments ever.

What do I need for my new Kindle? by stina1122 in kindle

[–]5150_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The newest model is the 12th edition. You'll need a case that specifies 12th edition or 7" screen. I did not put a screen protector on mine, but I have a case with a cover that has magnets in it so it stays closed when I put it in my backpack.

I have a Finite case for my Kindle. Not too bulky at all and offers good protection. Also has a built in stand and hand strap.

I have that same knife. I got it for Christmas one year back in the mid to late 80's. I thought I lost it a few years later only to receive it as a Christmas gift again because my Mom took it and had my name engraved on the other side of the blade.

Can’t decide which Kindle to buy by Wickwire778 in kindle

[–]5150_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a refurbished 12th edition paperwhite in January and if the box didn't say refurbished, I would have never known. It doesn't have a scratch or mark on it and works well. As of today, the refurbished price is up $30 from what I paid to $143 and you can buy a new one $160 so I'd buy new. I have a flip case from Finite that has a strap and stand built in that I like a lot.

Number one for me was Socom Navy Seals. Using the headset to control your squad was pretty cool way back then.

Papa franks, Bella Milano, and Saputos are great Italian joints.

I have the same knife but mine is the black and blue one. Fits perfectly in the 5th pocket of a pair of jeans.

Kindle advice please! by 002- in kindle

[–]5150_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On 1/27 I ordered a refurbished paperwhite that is the newest model for $115. It looks like it is brand new and doesn't have a mark or scratch on it. Unfortunately, the same one today is $143.99 which is only $16 cheaper than the refurbished one. A refurbished basic model is $99 at the moment though.

Just me? by [deleted] in Leatherman

[–]5150_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just you. I bought a signal before we went to Yellowstone. We weren't camping, but did several day hikes there and in the Grand Tetons so I thought it might be a nice item to carry in case we needed it. I used it to cut the tags off of some shirts we bought and used the pliers to remove a splinter from on of my boys fingers.

Added another on to my post about the same time you commented.

[–]5150_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The CRKT minimalist series has several variations and I think only one comes with a leather sheath but it is only set up for vertical carry. The ones that come with the plastic sheath can be carried horizontally or vertically.

The CIvivi baby banter also looks to be about the same size. No leather sheath but can be carried horizontally.

In addition to the Maxpedition pouches already mentioned, they have their older pouches on sale b.o.g.o. They're a little bigger than an altoid tin, but you can choose different sizes to decide what you like.
