MacGyver

It's good. Only got the basics - good blade, philips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, pliers (and bottle opener). I replaced a Leatherman Skeletool CsX with it. It's smaller, lighter, and has a better blade than the Leatherman. Plus, unlike the Leatherman, the tool doesn't dig into your hand when using the pliers, and it doesn't have a habit of nicking your thumb everytime you try and get one of the flat screwdrivers out. I like it. Oh yeah... the screwdrivers both lock as well. A good feature for anyone who has ever had a stupid pocket knife screwdriver fold up on them.... I'm looking at you Victorinox.

That's really cool.

I want a seecamp in 380. How long did it take to get it?

Beer is alcohol.

Depends on the job you are using them for. My grandfather taught me to use the correct tool for the job. As such, one perfect tool is far more valuable when you need it than 10 substandard ones.

Good to hear that you like it. Once you get a good belt, there's no going back. You wonder how you got along for so long without one.

Awesome. Congratulations.

A lot of electronics companies take a cheaper route to a common problem today that often does mean that a weak battery may cause other problems. It's pretty common today to use the same circuit that regulates current to the battery during charging to regulate power to the laptop as well. When you have a good battery, this isn't a problem. When your battery starts going bad, it can result in issues that you will notice via the OS. It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to have two separate power regulation circuits - one to the battery and one to the motherboard. In the interest of getting computers as small as possible and as least expensive as possible, that's not the route that's chosen most of the time. Also, I'll give a +1 on going with an OEM Apple battery if you've not ordered a replacement yet. Apple specifically has introduced some pretty good tech in batteries over the last couple of years starting with the original iPhone that hasn't filtered down to the 'replacement battery' market yet. Yes, you can get a cheaper battery, but it's not going to last nearly as long as the OEM will.

Welcome

Raven concealment will make you a holster that will fit the pistol with the light attached.

It's no problem to hang onto with the smaller grips. You'll like them I think CCI maxi-mags +v have the highest velocity out of the 1 5/8 barrel. I load four cylinders with those and one with snakeshot. I keep the snakeshot indexed to be the first round fired.

The new NAAs have safety notches between cylinders instead of half cock. Carry it there and you'll be in good shape. I always have a mini in 22mag in my pocket regardless of whatever else I might be carrying. It's a fun little pistol. Tom at Guns for America ordered mine for me. He gave me a great price. Have fun with it.

If you're happy with the Geber, keep it. It's a fine blade. I love my Spyderco's (rescue, military, paramilitary), but it's just personal preference at the end of the day. They hold a good edge, fit my hand and method of carry well, and I really like the g10 scales. Notice though that on my edc setup, I've also got a Gerbet multitool. I can't reccomend benchmade from my last couple experiences with them. I think their quality control is suffering a bit.

That has made my afternoon! I don't know that I've got the fun money to spare right now, but that is awesome. What's the range (at least of the part of the golf ball that's left)?

Here's a link to the Maratac AAA. AAA Maratac Flashlight I never thought I would replace my Streamlight Microstream, as I thought that was the pinnacle of pocket flashlight design. I ordered this thing to put in a survival kit. I thought, it only weighs 20 grams - I'll give it shot. Fast forward. I received it, tried out it's 3 different brightness levels and suddenly the Streamlight got relegated to the survival kit. The light is awesome.

Here's my EDC. It has changed over the years, but these items have remained consistent.

I think you see a lot of Gerber's because of their overall bargin price point. I just moved the Gerber into my setup about 6 months ago - replacing a Leatherman Skeletool CSx which was clunky and heavy. To me, Spyderco is one of the best blades made today. They are fast, and my paramilitary is SPM S30V steel, which holds a great edge. I've been less than impressed by the last few manual Benchmade's I've owned. Mind you, they've been out of the "bargin" line, but neither has made it past the trial stage in my carry setup. It will be a while before I buy another. As to lights, I find one invaluable, but as a forensic specialist, I am often in dark places. The Maratac AAA that I carry right now is the brightest, toughest light in the single AA or AAA platform that I've found to date. If I know I am going to be in the dark, I'll bring a bigger light, but this one is great when you find yourself there unexpectedly.

Cool.

By law, you are not supposed to be able to open a credit account if you are under 18. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Daily. We have worked a bunch of cases over the last couple years of "credit card companies" setting up in student centers and offering free t-shirts or whatever to get students to fill out credit apps. When they do, they are handing a ready made identity theft form over to organized crime. They never get the credit card, and forget about it until they try and by a car or something and figure out that they've become a victim of identity theft. Also, everyone associates identity theft with financial loss. It is also used by criminals for insurance fraud, medical fraud and actually using your identity when they get busted for a crime. These problems are just as big as the financial ones. Bottom line. If you've got kids, start now teaching them about the sensitivity of their information. We need kids who can be advocates for themselves when they go out into the world.

That's the best way to do it. Just put it on your calendar, into Outlook, whatever.

Here's a link: GlockWorld.com: Taurus Scope Mounts Taurus® Rifle Scope Mount, 10040, Blue 1 Piece, 1" Tau

It fits into the threaded hole that is left when you remove your rear sight. No either/or with this rifle. To mount the weaver base, you have to remove the rear sight.

I'd definitely argue your case. You might not get it all back, but it's worth the shot.

So back over the Christmas holdiay I was in Atlanta visiting relatives. It was Sunday morning and I was sitting at a light when all of the sudden -WHAM - I got rear ended. I got out of the car, and as I got out noticed the clean black Grand Marquis that hit me. A uniformed officer got out of the car, and his first words were, "that was totally my fault." He was texting while driving, and nailed me. I actually got away with only minor damage. However, my trailer hitch punched through his radiator - he had to be towed off. The funny thing about this was that because we were in a city jurisdiction instead of county, and due to the fact that an off duty officer was involved in a collision, and due to the fact that he was a Major with 35 years on the force, a lot of officers had to respond. So, on my way to church on Sunday morning, I was pulled over in the Dunwoody Library parking lot looking like I must have been the unibomber. I can only imagine what passersby must have thought. All of the officers were incredibly professional despite the really awkward situation. I was genuinely impressed. I'm afraid I can't say the same for dealing with Dekalb County in getting my truck fixed, but the officers were awesome.

Sounds like you might have had a slightly bent wheel or stress fracture to begin with causing the original leak. Putting a bad wheel on a tire machine and introducing that stress could certainly make that small crack a lot bigger. I would argue your case that there was not a visible crack when you took the wheel off and try and get them to split the difference. It sounds like you would have eventually ended up buying a wheel anyway, just not the new tire(s).
