  1. We'd all be better off if we did that from time to time - online and in real life.
  2. I thought it switched at 100, but I could be mistaken. We've upgraded the board software a couple of times - so that could have been reset.
  3. The switch from 'newcomer' is post count based.
  4. I run a M600 with a tail cap similar to the pic immediately above. Pressure switches are cool in theory, but they never seem to work like I want them to in application. I like the one's that run on 123's - there are good lithium rechargeable options for these too if that's your thing. There is definitely a place for AA lights - but performance seems better out of the 123's.
  5. I can't imagine the mess putting lube in a kydex holster would make...
  6. It's amazing how useful a 8-15 lumen low is.
  7. The HST is a genuinely better round. It's geometry helps it chamber reliably in a wider variety of weapons.
  8. I can't remember the number of times I've walked into Gander Mountain with money to spend only to walk out in frustration trying to get someone to get something out of the case. There aren't many places I choose not to spend money - but Gander Mountain is on that list. That frustration is probably documented in some old thread. I'm surprised they've lasted this long. But, I expect they won't be the last casualty as the market turns.
  9. They need to get Gorsuch confirmed before anyone'll break rank. People are eventually going to get tired of defending this stuff in town halls back home. So, it's a matter of who breaks first. Do the millennial "snowflakes" give up the protests and go home? Or do the persist until the mainline GOP gives? There are probably a dozen more scenarios, too. Maybe even several things happening at once. We're kind of in uncharted territory here.
  10. I've seen that thing sitting out front a few times and my wife tells me to keep my eyes on the road.
  11. Man, in sure sorry to hear this.
  12. I shot a Ten Point recently for the first time. That cocking mechanism made it the easiest shooting crossbow I've ever put my hands on.
  13. You can probably bet that when this crew starts tossing baggage overboard, she'll be at the top of the list... Sometimes there's a logic to telling outright lies. It's a test to see who goes along and who cries foul. You make a list and know who'll play ball when you really start implementing your plans.
  14. You'd probably need to offer some more detail to get someone's interest. Is this a new design? Is it fabricating something for an older rifle that you can't find elsewhere? We've got people who love cool projects - but stuff like this is often a lot more work than it may seem.
  15. The only things that stops me from jumping headfirst into this is that I like my wife and don't want to get divorced...
  16. Same code other side.
  17. I had a code indicating catalytic converter issues, too. I wound up replacing all 4 to get it to finally go away now that emissions checking is smarter. p0430 maybe?
  18. ^^ This guy is an authoritative source.
  19. We can second guess motivations all afternoon long. I hate it when people second guess mine, so I guess I try to give others the same courtesy. But, it still stands that if we had other businesses with a storefront on practically every corner in America making an effort to hire veterans - for whatever the reason - we'd have a much smaller problem. I'm not waving their flag because I love the company or their coffee (even though that sausage sandwich is pretty good when you're on the road), but because their actions and communications back up their trying to do the right thing: https://www.starbucks.com/careers/veterans Call Operation Stand Down here in Nashville - they're also a great organization to get involved with. They'll tell you about pointing their vets to places like Starbucks as they work on things like housing, medical needs, etc. They've got schooling benefits, too which ought to let you defer using GI Bill education benefits.
  20. Starbucks deserves props here. And, I say that as someone who has seen them hire individual veterans that I've known in transition, and ones I've been privilleged to meet through programs like Room In The Inn. There will always be mental health issues that will contribute to homelessness issues. But, if every big company had the commitment to hiring veterans that Starbucks has, we'd have a much smaller problem than we currently have. Your care for one group doesn't have to exclude another one.
  21. Here's the one I used: http://m.oreillyauto.com/h5/r/oap/site/c/detail/MPJ0/270/07127.oap?year=2006&make=Nissan&model=Xterra&vi=1433009&ck=Search_u+joints+-+rear+shaft_1433009_-1&keyword=u+joints+-+rear+shaft
  22. I had an '06 Xterra that had the same factory U-joints. I replaced them both around 185K miles after they started to chatter a bit. I look at u-joints as a wear item - just know that ones that can't be greased might wear a little faster. I say might, as they're supposed to be sealed. But the needle bearings in mine were rusty as all get out when I pulled them. If it really bothers you, new heavy duty u-joints with grease fittings are maybe $12.
  23. That's awful.
