Hope you told the upstairs tenant and the complex manager what happened...

Welcome!

    Our dog got sprayed saturday night.  We've washed her 4 times with the peroxide/baking soda stuff.  The smell is mostly gone, but its still there if you get up close.  I'm glad the weather was reasonably warm up until yesterday as we've had the windows open trying to air out the house.  Stupid dog.  :bat: 

  I wondered who this could be right up until this post.  Now I don't even need to click the link.  :)

Maybe I'm just weird, but the tennis racket bag in the context of shtf just screams "gun!" to me. Why would someone walking a long way when things have gone sideways be carrying a tennis racket? In normal life, I think its a good stealth carrying mode.

You could always just use Great Stuff.  It'll have nearly the same insulation properties as styrofoam and you can custom fit it to the box/sausage. 

    Very important point here that lots of people fail to recognize...   Will you have to cross water?  What if it's cold water?  What if it's fast moving, cold water?    There's lots of rivers and lakes around here and bridges are obvious points of constriction (that's why trolls live under them).  Think you're gonna swim 200 yds across the Tennessee River with all that gear?  When it's 20 deg out?    There was another thread not too long ago where several folks gave some really good suggestions in that regard... http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/69867-my-worst-case-scenario/

    This.  In that sort of situation stealth and/or simply being inconspicuous would be very important IMO.  20 miles is a long way for most people to hike.  It's doable in a day if you're used to it and the terrain is moderate, but bushwhacking 20 miles across the hills is way different from walking down the street.   

    eeeewwwww.    If I could find some directional explosive and point the blast towards the mean old man next door's house... that might be worth considering. 

Might not always end that well. Kudos to them for taking the initiative, but I'd say they were pretty lucky.

Bury it, stuff it in a yard bag and trash it, burn it, toss it in a lake, grind it up and compost it, .....

Given that you'll be seated, the shoulder holster seems like the best option.  Just be careful with muzzle discipline, and practice drawing and re-holstering a lot.    Be very thoughtful about where and how you sit in relation to the client.    I like the ballistic vest inside a briefcase idea.   How about an ejector seat for you clients?

    Agreed.  twas just sayin'...

Thanks to all who serve! :usa:

You could always just host it on your own photobucket (or similar) account.  As long as you site the original source, I don't think there would be copyright issues. 

If your willing to travel this way, I have a friend who does good work on the side.

Pics or it didn't happen.... :)

Just finished "A Higher Call" by Adam Makos. A true story about a chance meeting of an ME109 and a B-17 over Europe. Great story about much more than the title implies.

It's Friday evening and after enjoying a Kentucky bourbon barrel stout with supper,this came to mind.... :) http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=awzyLJFh1lQ

Keyholing (tumbling in flight) and tumbling after impact are two different things. The round is intended to tumble after impact but tumbling in flight indicates a rifling rate, bullet weight, and/or velocity problem.

Could be that spraying the fluid directly in the carb is starving it of air and causing it to go too rich and bog. I also suspect gunk in the fuel system. The off the shelf in- line fuel filters are really coarse and won't catch fine particles.

3D printing rifling inside a bore is not a problem. Think of the barrel sitting vertically. Just start from the bottom print your way up the length. One of the primary benefits of 3D printing is the ability to make complex internal passages that can't be near-net cast. I took the photo below at the Advanced Manufacturing Lab at ORNL during a tour a while back (yes, they said we could take pictures). The block on the left was cast and machined and cut in half. The block on the right was printed and cut in half. Both are titanium. The printed block weighs about half as much as the cast block. I've also seen, but wasn't allowed to take pictures of, gas turbine blades with internal cooling passages that were fully 3D printed. They look something like this...

    Agreed.  Some key patents have expired and the technology is poised to go mainstream in a big way.  I think 3D printers capable of high precision metal components will remain at the high end of the spectrum.  I'm not sure how precise a laser based printer is.  The high dollar EB based printers will remain high dollar. 

    This.   Before you buy stuff, I strongly suggest you get quotes from a couple pro's.  I got insulation installed for less than it would have cost me just for the materials.   I had my floors insulated with R19 bat and R19 equivalent blown into the attic (for a total of R38).  I like walking around the house barefoot and it helped a bit with how cold the floor feels.            My house is the same way.  Every time I undertake some sort of project I find myself staring and something and thinking... Really?  :shake:
