I think you took one for the team.  Better you than another kid.  If you really think you got groped, file a complaint.

    I got mine at an end-of-season sale at TSC several years ago. 

Well written. Complacency will bite you when you least expect it.

Shame to hear that about Predator, though glad at least one of the guys landed somewhere nearby.

Home defense shogun. Truck gun of some sort. .22 pistol, and bolt/lever gun. And always looking for a nice milsurp.

I've heard good things about the smith at Coal Creek/Tactical Advantage/Tacsog/whateveritscallednow...  assuming its still the same guy as years past.  Predator custom shop is good. 

Building an AR is akin to legos.  Other milsurp rifles are MUCH more involved.

This one? Lever guns in .45-70 are cool. Well... pretty much anything chambered in .45-70 is cool. ;)

An odd bird for sure, but quite an artist.  Ziggy and the Goblin King were the first things that came to mind when I heard of is passing.  RIP.

Sit in your bathroom in the dark for a minute or three. Set the light for strobe, point it at the mirror, and light it up.

I'm not over 50 yet, but I have the same wearable pad as the OP for the same reason. A couple clips thru the Mosin and a couple through the M48 is more than enough. I love shooting them but the steel butt plates are tough. Makes me think about the guys who slogged through the mud and cold and shot these things all day long.

Kids can't shoot their BB guns or practice with a kiddie bow in the backyard? That's just nuts. I'd have a hard time believing there's any sort of enforcement beyond someone complaining.

Wow. That ordinance is absurd. I've never seen one so all-encompassing.

Legos, is there nothing they can't do?

Good price on the big buddy heater, less than I paid for mine several years ago.... http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/mr-heater-buddy-portable-propane-heater-up-to-9000-btus?a=1836542

What are you blasting? Perhaps a different media like plastic or walnut shells would work. All media breaks down over time. We change out our glass media cabinets every 10hrs or so, I think.

Have a friend come over to play BG and practice. Preferably without loaded guns.

Bow hunt and the point becomes moot.

I'd like to build a small greenhouse. A friend at work has one and loves it. Fresh salsa in February is pretty nice.

That's awesome. I need to talk a guy at work into doing that.

    How's ole Richard Noggin doing these days?  Last I saw him was at the TTU baja race a few years ago.  Gonna be back there again this spring, btw.  

How thick does the filler material need to be?   Fill up the whole inside of that ball?  Will it always be the same size?   How firm does it need to be?  A little give, no give?      There's all kinds of types of foam that could be used as filler.  I was serious with the Great Stuff suggestion (because it really is great stuff  ;)  ).   She could get various types of foam and glue layers together and then shave it down to the desire shape/size.  Could even use different types/densities to control how much and where it gives, if that matters.    http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-foam-sheets/=10lhzd8

    :hiding:       Wait... it's been how many years since I took thermo?  :dropjaw:    I used the wiki page too...  :angel:    All that calculus is just the "proof" (remember those?  :eek: )  of the equation used to calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.   As for that doodad, I'd be shocked if it was more about 10%. 

    My kids are little, having them run a couple blocks isn't realistic.  The neighbor's driveway puts the physical barrier of a tree line and a house between them and our house. 

The energy change through the cycle is proportional to the heat input and absolute temperature. Since the process isn't "perfect", the total actual energy change must be less than or equal to the total ideal energy change. What's not clear about that? ;)
