  1. Yep. More than I've ever seen this year.
  2. Panera is good but way over-priced.  Two adult meals and two kid meals was about $45... for lunch!  I'll make a sammich at the house next time, thanks.
  3. I'll be honest and say I've never thought much of Draco's.  This thread is changing my mind. That thing is cool.  I'll be curious to hear the ruling on the pistol/VFG/OAL situation. 
  4. If it's rubbing specific spots in your pants, you could put one (or more) of those iron-on patches on the inside of the pants as a wear pad. 
  5. If you plan to tow it out of state, it's best to get a tag.  While TN doesn't require trailer tags, several neighboring states do and you can be ticketed for not having a tag there.
  6.     Here's your answer...       There are no negative g's when doing the barrel roll.  Even though the airplane is upside down, the centrifugal force is such that it's always under positive g's (like a corkscrew on a roller coaster) ... Hence Tex's comment about a 1g barrel roll.  If the pilot is really good, it wouldn't even spill a cup of coffee.    Airframes are typically rated for a certain level of positive and negative g's.  The negative g rating is loading is typically about half the positive.  Just flying through significant turbulence can momentarily generate +/- 3g's.    And the hydraulic system is always pressurized. There's very little net flow so cavitation wouldn't be a problem even if it wasn't pressurized. 
  7. Welcome!
  8. When I carry both my gun and my fixed blade knife, the knife goes on the left with the spare mag and the gun on the right.  Works for me because I'm left handed but shoot right handed.  Phone goes in the pocket, I don't like wearing a phone on my belt... if its too big to fit in a pocket, it's not a phone anymore IMO.  When I add the BUG to the mix, my pockets do get pretty dang full.  And I'm not a real big person. 
  9. Any form of IWB carry is hard on pants, particularly with holsters that leave the muzzle or slide serrations exposed.  How many pairs of pants can you ruin before that $100+ holster pays for itself?
  10. I think the payback for a supplementary system for my house, including selling power back to the utility and the energy smart discounts and such was in the 17 year range. I have little confidence that I'll still be in this house in 17 years so definitely not worth it. There's a house in my neighborhood with several panels on the roof. Either he knows something I don't or he can't do math. :)
  11. No structural damage whatsoever. The airplane is quite capable. Simply landing puts more stress on the airframe than a barrel roll. Here's its predecessor doing one in 1955. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AaA7kPfC5Hk
  12. Nice. Looks like it's working quite well and should do everything you need. I've considered adding some solar generation to my house, but last I checked the payback was much too long.  As prices continue to fall and efficiency improves, it might be worth another look in a few years. 
  13.     https://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/curios-relics.html#license-apply
  14. No more caliber debates?!?!    :panic:
  15. I'd like to go.  Need to get a sling installed on my .22 rifle.  And buy some ammo for it... 
  16. Is it really a fuse box, or does it have breakers? Fuses: Breakers: If the house has old style fuses and we already know it has cloth wrapped wiring.... If this is a place you intend to live in for any length of time, I'd call an electrician and get the whole house rewired. The cloth wire insulation dries out over time and can become a fire hazard.
  17. Wow.  Hope you guys were able to get some sleep after that. 
  18. Step 1 is to figure out which is the hot wire, there should be only one wire in one box that's hot with everything disconnected.  My guess is that we're working with the wrong box.    It might be worth running to walmart and getting a 50ft spool of insulated wire (speaker wire, whatever) to help figure out which wire is which... should be less than $10.      And as for 3 and 4-way switches making you cuss.... yes, yes they do.  I'm pretty sure the plumber wired my house. 
  19. Not me. Cool gun tho... Next... the moon.
  20. Something is hosed here.... I'd disconnect both switches and use the voltmeter to first determine which wire is the incoming hot wire. If you've got a length of any sort of wire that will reach from one switch to the other, you can use the continuity feature in the voltmeter to find the ends of the same wire (breaker off!). Once you know which wire is which, wire it up just like the diagram.
  21. Per nightrunner's reply... you've got the white wire in the wrong place, it should be connected where the black screw is. Swap the white and black wires in this pic so the white wire is at the terminal with the black screw.
  22. I assume file photos (taken by me) are ok? Next, a picture with water.
  23. Nice hat.  :)
  24. Nah, it's copper.  The bullets would blow any surface rust out of it.  Don't worry about it.  You'll do more harm than good trying to get that last little bit out of it. 
  25. Depends on how obvious and accessible the cameras are.  Personally, I want relatively hidden cameras and a small sign that says "Smile, you're on camera."
