So.... Should I be p.o.'d or not? :0)

A Universe From Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing.   ~ Lawrence M. Krauss

I'm in for one.

    Hey... I see what you did there!  :0)

Another consideration of the green aspect, the electricity has to be generated somehow. It doesn't magically appear. Instead of generating power locally (internal combustion engine), you are moving it down the chain.

It's all about the range with electric cars.

It seems like every time I hear of something like this with my family or friends, it's always the family meth head.  I've got several examples unfortunately.  So, I hate to ask, but any meth heads in the family or family friend?

It's like being an AA gunner!

I have no real world experience.

Just from talking to the father in law and research online, the basic license is the technician and it gets you going. I read examples of people getting the tech and general on the same day.

That is nice. What are the sights?

Sweet!  I've been going through flash cards from the 400 question pool.

I knew about licensing before I bought it.  The father in law is licensed already.  I've spent a couple of hours studying already, and am getting ready for some testing that is coming up in the 'Boro in a couple of months.  (May and July)  This is for my survival prep, so I'm pretty excited.

BBBRRRAAAIIINNNNSSSS!!!!!!

Already studying for the test.  I'm going to get the general license.  In the mean time, I'll listen in and get used to the procedures.

It's a good looking gun, why the low prices?  Quality?

I went to Pointe a few months ago when they first popped up on here.  Seemed nice enough so I bought some HP's.  After hearing how things have gone, I won't be going back.

That is very nice looking.

Thanks for helping me spend money... I just bought this one:   http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-BaoFeng-UV-5R-PLUS-USB-Cable-Kit-136-174-400-480-MHz-Ham-Two-way-Radio-/310639445785?pt=2_Way_Radios_FRS&hash=item48538dc719   Main selling point was 4 Watts power (5W max).

I learned the hard way that you don't let hornets build a hive.  We had some in the yard a couple of years ago.  I tried to take a live and let live approach, but it didn't work out.  the father in law took a couple to the head and neck, so we went to war.  Four cans of hornet killer later and there were bodies everywhere.  We were hitting them in the air, on the ground, and down the hole.  After the battle, we were surveying the wreckage, when I heard the sound of a chopper coming in from the left.  I braced for impact, and felt the searing, vibrating burn as the assassin exacted her vengeance on me.  I never saw the assailant, but the damage was done.  Three days of a swollen neck and a week of pain.  Never again I cry, NEVER AGAIN!  All hornets must die!  :0) 

Poor little critters, there just trying to do a little pollinatin'. J/k. :0)

Awe man, that sucks. Chin up, don't defeat yourself!

I've had good luck with cobra radios. They always show some unrealistic range on the package, but the better ones should get the range you are looking for. Plus you can add voice activated headsets.

Wow, he was so young. It didn't say what happened to him.
