Flip Flop

Beer garden...

Just finished my project this week (started in February!!).  Added insulation, heat, flooring and the shoe storage..and of course an area for my adams stuff!!
 Would like to thanks this forum....at some point in January i was on AF and saw some posts of the organized Adams products u guys had and wanted a clean garage to display it in.  
   Well, a budget that got tossed out the window within a week and several months later im
finally done!  (Probably need to add more lighting like Shane’s garage at some point!!)

haha, awesome sauce!  I like it

Heading to the office...

Funny,  you don't look at all like your Avatar image.  Maybe it's the beard that's throwing me off. 

And a little gratuitous post drive WW action...

Cleaned up my wife's Lexus IS. Nothing too crazy, cleaned the wheel, tires and fenders and then ultra foam shampoo and h20 guard and gloss for the paint. 
 
 

I'll play

This thread is for those on the forum who enjoy firearms, and anything self defense related.
 
Just received my Every Day Carry(EDC) pistol and holsters back from a local holster maker.
 
My EDC pistol is a S&W M&P 40c with StreamLight TLR-4G.
 

 
I have always been a big fan of S&W M&P pistols but there are plenty of other manufacturers I would gladly use.
 
 
New Holster is a 2 in 1 kydex paddle holster in the kryptek pattern. Can be worn IWB or OWB.
 

 

 
Modified Alien Gear Holster, needs some revisions but this has been my favorite IWB holster I have ever worn.
 

 
Appendix carry rig- T5 custom kydex, FDE carbon fiber w/ mag slot.
 
 

 
I don't use this due to comfort. Maybe if I ever lose all the weight the Dr. says I should it will be comfortable.
 
 
My Taurus revolver is away being cerakoted and fitted for a pocket holster. Pics to follow.
 
I also have plans to build a long distance rifle, as well as an AR-15 but due to NYS laws I have been putting it off.
 
Other guns in my collection:
 
Mossberg .308
Marlin .22lr
Maverick 12g short barrel
 
Let see what everyone else has. Post up pictures.

Just a few of my carry guns. Sig 320c, Glock 19, and Glock 43

Picked up a new CC gun at the local gun show this past weekend. Could not beat the price and has been getting very good reviews since it's release at the first of the year. Need to get out and send some rounds down the pipe. 

This is a cool idea for a thread, I'll share some of what I own. I'm always buying, selling, and trading at a local gun show. Here's some of the stuff I have pictures of on my phone.

 

Glock 43 with night sights, upgraded trigger pull and in a G Code Incog holster, carried 99% of the time.
 

Top to bottom:
Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec
Beretta 92 A1
Glock 19 Trijicon Night sights, upgraded trigger.
Smith and Wesson Shield 9mm
Ruger LCP Custom
 
On the left is a 1961 Smith and Wesson Model 10 Cincinnati police issue 38, I have the original grips for it but much nicer to shoot with the ones pictured.
 

Latest acquisition is this Bushmaster QRC I traded for. Not a bad rifle, not shot much.
 

 
Benelli Supernova Tactical, great pump gun.
 
Not pictured, Henry 45-70, Mossberg 930 SPX, PSA built AR 5.56 with 18 inch barrel, S&W 686. These are the guns that have stayed around the longest, if I'm not happy with one I'll sell or trade it at the gun show pretty quick.

Here I am, I think (had to make sure I knew how to work this thing, LOL)
 
The first one is of my wife and I at my retirement ceremony from the Corps. (She'd been crying and would probably kill me if she knew I put this picture up). 
 
The second one, provided they post in order, is me holding a snowball after it snowed and stuck in Southern California. 
 
The last one is my bloodhound (Easton...we're a baseball family) and I taking "selfies". He wanted to be a butt and sit on me so I made him take pictures. Why it's upside down I don't know...guess I don't know how to work this! 

Surprised how may military we have in here.  Guess I'll add my hero shots!!  My one other love besides detailing...GUNS!  

I know I have a bunch in inventory at Carlisle. If anyone wants 32oz bottles of product please pm me your requests and I'm pretty sure I can make it happen.
 
You'll have to wait until the week after the Carlisle Event, April 19-23, for me to ship, as that'll be the soonest I'll be able to get my hands on them. That would be the week of April 23rd before they'd ship.
 
Again, pm me so I see the request, or email me at dave@adamspolishes.com 

This is how thick our frost is after a few days of 0 to -5 temps.

The car shampoo changed the color of my wife's morning glory flowers ............haha

So I finally received the foam gun I won from Srtowen's giveaway on instagram and I went ahead and gave my car a wash before I left my home town. I, however, was not the only one that had fun with the foam gun and I even got my youngest brother into it. Love that Adam's shine I get after every wash!

Some general tips and process I use for cleaning tires. Here is a video, using an Audi R8 as a demo vehicle:
 
 

 
 
 
The process goes as follows (you can tweak as needed):
Make sure the tires are not hot (never work with hot rims and tires!) Rinse first, getting rid of loose dirt and helping to loosen the dirt that might be stuck I like to start with the tread, spray with your cleaner and let soak (here, I am using Adams All Purpose Cleaner). Using the foam setting lets the cleaner cling to the tire. Agitate with a brush Rinse away the dirt Repeat as necessary. The tread can get quite dirty and require multiple passes. Clean the rim. I like using a wheel woolie, especially for this R8 with wider rims. It makes getting in there extremely easy. I use some APC and shampoo suds from a clean bucket. Your rims need special care, just like your paint. Be sure to rinse often and check your cleaning tool of choice often. Make sure you clean the finer details, such as the bolts Rinse away the soap This part is optional, dry the rim. If you want to apply a dressing, I recommend this step. I am using a Blaster Sidekick. Start far away and work your way inwards, or else water will splash on you and the machine. Dress the tires, sit back and enjoy!
