Being a licensed driver in VA for 15+ years then moving here is a noticeable improvement.
-
I’ll be the first to say that area of drivers do indeed drive aggressively. No idea why. Tides baseball is very fun. One of the best Triple A ballparks around. Hampton Roads bridge tunnel is a nightmare anytime of the day. Monitor Merrimac is a little nicer but puts you way out in the sticks.

In all honesty the “locals” are a grumpy bunch. I’d guess about 50% of the area are retired. Tourist season is busy and spread out into some of the newer neighborhoods.

Two Drummers, https://www.twodrummerssmokehouse.com/home, for good eats. Went to school with both if the fella's that own that place. Both of them were in Fife and Drum for Colonial Williamsburg, hence the name. I grew up in Williamsburg and left in 2005 after 28 years. Shorty's Diner is a local spot in an older part of the 'burg that folks like. If you see a sign for Camp Peary, don't visit that place. They are kinda rude when you say you got lost. Do not at most any cost use the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel if at all possible. It's a nightmare about 24 hours a day to get to Va Beach. Hit up Yorktown for a beach and battlefield instead. New Town is a cool spot also in Williamsburg. Shops, nice pool hall (Corner Pocket), fancier restaurants too. If you go there check out the General District Court house across the street. Got my marriage licence there and the gentleman's name on the outside is my uncle. Nice guy too! Shopping-Premium Outlets is the place to go. If your in Colonial Williamsburg, The Cheese Shop is a local and tourist favorite with the house dressing. Don't forget Jamestown, I'll probably tote the kids out there when we get back home in July. I grew up riding my bike on the island. If you play golf, PM me. I know a guy. Rambles are over. Seriously PM me if you need anything there. Mom is still there close to Ford's Colony. Pierces Pit BBQ is a long staple of that area. I'll add Water Country along with Busch Gardens. Beer is good too, Bud-something is made there. Spaz over..

And the other side of this, Ruger Mk series mainspring won't seat unless the magazine is in on reassembly.

Ha! I worked at the Shipyard before I moved here. I’ll never forget the smell of Budweiser brewing.

Welcome aboard from a Williamsburg transplant. In the Nashville burbs since 2005.

First time I've hit these little red bugs with something that made them quit moving. All quiet around here for the time being. Not having pets or kids that lick brick and concrete, that gallon covered the driveway, porch and bricked crawl space (outside) with a few drops left over. Dried long before little foot traffic was on it.

I've strolled by this thread for years and never thought of reading in. I for some reason have chiggers on the outside bad this year. With two kids that like the outdoors I was at my wits end with getting rid of these pests. Porch and driveway were awful as well as the outside of the house along the crawl space. I've got a gallon pump sprayer but for the life of me can't seem to figure the ratio. Any help would be fantastic. The last few cool days have backed them off but heat is coming back shortly. This isn't computing in my brain for some reason: From Amazon; For initial clean up of severe insect infestation, dilute at a rate of (1) part concentrate in 19 parts water (6.7 ounces per gallon) (0.5%). For normal infestations dilute (1) part concentrate in 100 parts water (1.33 ounces per gallon of water)

18+1 capacity? Don't forget to pick up a Maglula Uplula If I was after a fuller size I'd pick that up.
-
I think this started in December 2018, so 4 months ago? I've had mine since February 2016 without a hiccup besides a few junk new reman's. I always carry condition 0 and never had an out of battery situation. Not sure that's possible if you don't ride the slide closed. Suppose I'll do the recall. Apparently I never filled out the warranty paperwork. I didn't receive a recall notice myself.

IF you google map this place and use the street view look around guy, there's a fella in the alley that I'm guessing is the owner.

How does the Real ID fit into this?

My Toyota SUV has something similar. It's horrifying to see it pegged to the left. Foot off the gas and your getting 60mpg for 5 seconds. I'd rather have this in my Accord. That has a trim light around the speedo that shows green to red depending on how heavy your footwork is.

Storage For Tools and Cleaning Kit
jhc77 replied to ShaggyRS6's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I'm with @Omega. Picked up this bag for $20 or something. Had two tackle trays in it. Took one out and replaced it with Hoppes and a bottle of lubrication. The other tray has swabs, picks, smaller screw drivers and whatever else I need for handguns. Shoved a couple rags on the top to keep things quiet. That's a nice box too @ShaggyRS6. If and when I move, plans for a golf and gun room are already on the must have list. -
Just turned 3 years with the FNS9 being my only carry. I'm in the boat of no. You lose 1.8oz, 0.4" in the barrel and 0.3" in height. It's not ground breaking enough for me. If you have the means ($) go for it. In terms of gaining anything carry wise, I don't see it. My next move will be a single stack M&P Shield, Springfield XD-S, etc type direction.

Back about 20 years ago it was baseball cards (about 100 pounds of recycling material now) and the last couple of years I have been quietly stashing golf clubs here and there. Getting messy at this point. Sell one thing and pickup 2 or 3 in replacements. Not junk mind you. Always after one putter but deals start showing up. PayPal makes it easier for me too, not using the "real" money

Sending good thoughts.

I try to guess who’s going to crack first. 9 yr old boy and 5 years for the daughter. After a few hours they get feisty over the new thing. Sometimes entertaining but most times not.
-
Grip texture on the FNS starts getting to me after 6 or 7 magazines. Only other gripe I have on mine is the take down lever pin gets warms obviously but it’s where my index finger sits when I’m in between shots. Looks like I might change over to the 509. I do like my 17+1 though.

Not sure how cheap you can make light bulbs but they figured it out. I see it everyday where newer model cars have random bulbs out. Changing out the headlight bulbs on my '06 Accord was awful. Eventually had to hit YouTube for some help. Not a day goes by that I don't kick myself for selling my 1993 Chevy S10 2.3 liter with a manual. Hopefully I will have something else before a projector beam goes out on my current SUV.

Please do. I used to get annoyed when dad would call almost daily once we moved from VA in 2005. Calls stopped a day short of my 30th bday in 2007. Still miss seeing "Dad" on the caller ID.
