Geese get used to the fake noise maker stuff pretty quickly. There's not much you can do if you're not there very often. Got neighbors with a dog that'll run them off?

Mine has done fairly well. Cucumbers have been great, okra is in full swing, and we've gotten one pie pumpkin with 2 more on the vine. Might have a couple cantaloupes in another week or two. I've lost one tomatoe and have a couple others suffering from blight. Harvest has been mediocre on the others. The zucchini produced well but then died suddenly, no idea why. I intend to plant green beans where the zucchini was. Oh yeah, and the jalapeño has been going gangbusters and the peppers are smokin hot. The plant has been nearly overwhelmed by the pumpkin vine, but it's still making peppers like crazy. No idea why they're so much hotter this year, as the last couple years they were about as spicy as carrots.

Higher is better unless the ride is unbearable. I used to run 50psi unloaded to take the edge off.

Then I'd have it unloaded and locked up in the trunk or otherwise inaccessible.

Lock it up, unloaded, ammo separate, and don't give them any reason to pull you over. Southern Illinois is much less wacko than greater Chicago area.

I'll freely admit to this being somewhat self serving, but I've used SmugMug for years and been happy. It's not free, but i think it's inexpensive for you get. If you're interested, here's a discount code. https://secure.smugmug.com/signup?Coupon=VlcPcQWTe7dG6 And no, I have no idea what photobucket's end game is. Clearly they've re-thought their business model and made some changes.

You guys act like they're not perfectly nice people... And I bet you'd be surprised who a lot of them really are.

The plastic will be perfectly fine. The small holes for the bolts are of little consequence. Throw a bed sheet the same color as the walls over the safe to make it less visually obvious.

Hey, they don't call it Easter egg hunting for nothing....

I've never sold Kirby vacuums, but I've got a really funny story from when a salesman came to my house. It ended with "Look, if I'm gonna pay that much for something that sucks, it's damn sure gonna suck more than my carpet." People seem shocked when I tell them I'm an engineer with a dead end job. I've been doing exactly the same thing for 10 years. I've laughed and said there's no opportunity to go anywhere unless someone quits or dies. Well, someone finally quit in the fall and it's only gotten worse. I seem to have a knack for finding dead end jobs, as every place I've worked has gone through difficult times. Maybe its me, or maybe I'm just unlucky. My wife sent this to me a few days ago, and I keep thinking about it... ... but I have no idea where I'd jump to. I'm too much of a planner and too risk averse, and I've got a family to think about (or that's my excuse anyway). I hope to instill in my kids a greater willingness to take that leap and follow their dreams.

I'm somewhat jealous of others who've done a wide variety of things through their careers and lives, as I feel somewhat trapped in my current position. The grass is always greener I suppose....

Just stick them together with no glue, it'll hold fine if you're thoughtful with where you put the joints. A layer of masking tape can help tighten up loose joints. It'll also be a lot easier to disassemble for easy transport.

Generally, faculty and staff is a no. Having it in the car is against policy. Parents dropping off or picking up kids can have one on their person provided they don't exit the vehicle while on school property.

Since I don't live there, thankfully no, I don't have experience with Nashville soccer moms. A guy with a camera on a tripod in a park.... I bet the conversation between the operator and the investigating officer was interesting.

I ride too, so yeah. Nothing like coming buzzing around a corner to find the entire road covered in grass clippings. It gets interesting really quickly.

I grew up in Chattanooga and went to UTC and then TTU to become a mechanical engineer. I spent 7 years doing steering system product design in the auto industry. While I had been looking for another job for a while, my boss called me while I was on vacation to tell me my job was moving to Detroit. That was the final push for me to find something else. I found an unexpectedly brief job designing industrial products (8 months) and then found my current job fixing broken jet engine parts, which I've been doing for 10 years.

Blowing grass in the street.... That pisses me off. Neighbors on both sides used to do that. Then when I'd mow, I'd run my mower down the street and blow their clippings back into their yards. A few cycles of that and they've mostly stopped doing it. Dad was kinda anal about mowing as well. We bagged the clippings and hauled them down the back yard into compost piles in the woods behind the house. I don't really have that option so I just let the clippings lay. I want it to look nice, but getting it done is most important. I'm not a retiree with nothing better to do than mow 3x per week. I do it when I can... like this afternoon when the heat index will be over 100 deg. Yay.

When an FFL holder surrenders their license, all their records go to the ATF. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/10/27/firearms-national-tracing-center-atf/74401060/

A friend had grinder like the first link and it was absurdly fast. It cuts as fast as you'd expect a chainsaw that big to cut. I've also used a grinder like the 2nd link and it's about like running a big tiller. Once you convince yourself to relax and just let it do its thing, it's really not very hard. Either way, the pile of wood chips left behind will be twice the size of the stump. When it's time to clean the deck, I set the brake, chock the wheels, and lift the front of mine with a floor jack. I stick a jack stand under it in case the jack slips. Cooking spray should help, but I'll guess you'd need to reapply it at least every time you mow. Mold release might work too... https://www.amazon.com/Smooth-Universal-Mold-Release-fl/dp/B004BNHLOK The best thing you can do is wax the deck when it's new. Even then, I'd guess you'd need to repaint it every year. Once it gets dinged up underneath, there's not much you can do to "slick up" the surface short of refinishing it.

1. They have a manufacturer and serial number. 2. They contact said manufacturer and ask which distributor received it. 3. They contact the distributor and find out which retailer received it. 4. They contact the retailer and find out who bought it. Detective work 101. There's nothing new about that process. So they have an incorrect model, incorrect serial number, or duplicate serial number.

As Sam says, easily done in a day with one of the hydraulic grinders.

Why wouldn't you call the police if someone tried to rob you? If you weren't doing something stupid, the soccer mom wouldn't feel the need to call the police.

The answer to your question is above (emphasis by me). Right or wrong, the first person to call is always assumed to be the victim. That can make all the difference.
