Hello from the Texas Gulf Coast

[mley1]

Hello everyone. I'm listening to hurricane Harvey's storming weather outside as I type this. My name is Marty Ley. I've used AR15's for many years, but had never owned a .308 AR styled rifle, until now. 

I've ordered one from PSA. I get their sales emails, and I couldn't pass up their summer hunting sale on their PA10 uppers and a lower. Both together were only about 580.00 shipped. They were supposed to arrive today. Unfortunately, hurricane Harvey has seen fit to delay that UPS delivery. So, I'm hoping to lay hands on my new PA10 next week sometime. In the mean time I'll be happy reading and learning about them here. 

Thanks y'all,

Marty

Welcome aboard, weather that storm, and make sure you check out their (PSA's) Manufacturers Section - there are a couple guys right now providing some very valuable insight on those PSA rifles.

Can't deplete what ya don't have!! Here lately my kids(18 and 20yr olds) seem to need rescuing by daddy on a regular basis. Last night, during torrential rains, my 18yr old son decides to take his friend home. Being dark, and pouring down rain, he couldn't see well while backing his truck. And, he backed into the right rear of my truck. Now we both have dented up trucks!!

If it weren't for mistakes like that in my family I'd have a lot more fun money!! 

I hope your doing ok up in Pasadena during this storm. Looks like we're gonna get a lot more rain before it's over.

I'm in Santa Fe btw. We're not far from each other.

Yes we're fine and thanks for asking.  If it gets too rough down there let me know as the roads should still be good enough to get to you.

We're ok. Thanks. My wife is off today. She drives a Jeep Wrangler, and I drive a Ram 1500. Our street is flooded a little, but we're ok. We haven't lost electricity yet. I gotta get ready for work today. I'm a corrections officer at a prison hospital in Texas City. I work 1:00-10:00pm. So I'll probably head out a bit early due to the weather. 

If you don't have to work, hunker down and stay safe!

I put my wife in the same vehicle.  Keeps her up a bit higher off the ground.

I'm very familiar with the TDCJ facility in Texas City.  Before I retired I laid a few detainers on some that went through there on occasion.  That is a low area so be careful when you drive home.

Welcome from Wisconsin, sounds like your boy better get a second job to fix both your rides ?

Made it to work. There was a little street flooding, but nothing major. Gotta head in.  No phones alowed.

Wisconsin? I'm originally from Darlington WI. Most of my family is from up that way. There and Livingston WI. I've been in Texas since I was 13. I'm an Army brat. We ended up at Ft Hood, and I haven't left Texas since, other than vacations.

If you ever go see the tractor pulls, my cousin Bob Hole is part of the Tri County Pullers.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

Welcome  from the other side of the Sabine River!! I bought a PA-10 upper and lower that has turned into a custom build, thanks to the fine regulars on this site. Building it is 90% of the fun for me.

Just leave your credit card next to the keyboard for convenience. 

Stay safe and dry!
