Welcome!

  Wasp spray will kill them on contact, but it won't get the nest in the ground.    I used some powdered yellow jacket killer stuff and copious quantities of the spray to kill a nest in my yard last year.  The nest was at the base of a tree and the tree died (note that it wasn't real healthy to begin with).         Not exactly the most "green" way to kill them, but it works.  And if you do it, you gotta drop a match in the hole... 

So I googled it. Holy crap!!!!

I'd like to see a canister shot in that thing. I believe a 105mm howitzer is technically a center fire cartridge.

Nice find!

Agreed, there are times when it's unavoidable. The Zimmerman case was not one of them. What Zimmerman did was stupid. Legal, but stupid.

I've read stuff that said that a reaction draw is almost always faster than if you draw first. Adrenalin is an amazing thing. Feisty old guy... :)

If you're getting them out of footwear boxes that are arriving from some overseas manufacturing location, they're likely already used up.  That said, I keep a couple 1lb packets in my gun cabinet.  I get them from my employer and I know they're new. 

The morons from "Sons of Guns" managed to set the swamp on fire with a machine gun.  So yes, it's quite possible.

Put a thermometer/hygrometer inside.  The first year is all about figuring out what the temp range is and controlling the humidity. Once you know the conditions inside, you can better determine what will grow.  A friend has a real green house and annoys us with fresh, vine ripe tomatoes in January.    You'll want some sort of door.  Taking the frame on/off every time will get old real fast.  And you won't want to expose the plants to that blast of cold air either.      edit... also make sure your cover will reasonably survive the weather.  It'd be a bummer for an over-night gust of wind to blow it down and the ensuring frost ruin everything. 

You're lucky you're not allergic.  My arm would be the size of a balloon and I'd need a Benadryl IV.    Mix up some a paste of meat tenderizer and water and apply it to the stings.  Leave it on until it's dry, it'll help with the itching. 

Here's an article on freezing various veggies...  http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/freezing-vegetables-zm0z13aszsor.aspx?newsletter=1&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=GFSS%20eNews&utm_campaign=07.26.13%20GFSS#axzz2akZz7Scd   And I didn't catch the "pee seasoned" when I read that earlier...   um...   ew. 

    You don't have to out run the bear, just out run your buddy.  The guy with the camera around his neck is dead meat.  :lol:

I'm staggered by the knowledge exhibited by Ms. Boots. Perhaps she's simply got good google-fu, but the fact that this was included in the article is amazing to me... Perhaps I shouldn't be amazed, but I am. After all, this seems to be the norm...

    Once upon a time, there was talk of a spec racing series for GW's similar to the BMW Boxer Cup.  I think that would've been a hoot to watch and I'll bet the lap times would've humbled some folks. 

Nice list. I'd add one more lesson... Don't be stupid and you won't get in a fight.

What they said about milling. Having a good, rigid fixture is very important. If the part is moving or rattling, it'll chatter like crazy. Surface finish and dimensional control will be terrible. Make small cuts.... 0.025" at the most. Make a pass, the make another pass (called a spring pass) without moving anything. If it makes chips the 2nd time, your cutting too much or the part is moving.

That sure looks like fun. Unfortunately that'd probably be a whole year's worth of ammo for me.

I've met Rick a couple times, he can ride a wing like no one I've ever seen. Nice guy too. Fastest time? Not hardly. But that's another discussion...

I don't disagree. There's the school of thought that a right unexercised isn't a right anymore. But Leonard is an attention whore with an agenda. Unfortunately he's fairly smart too. Guys like him simply take advantage of the fact that we have a legal system rather than a justice system.

My biggest issue with cruiser type bikes is lack of ground clearance.  Some of the lower ones drag hard parts much too easily.  That and lots of people just don't have a clue how to ride them.  Watch a couple motorcycle police training videos and you'll see what the bike can actually do.    A friend has a Valkyrie with 100k+ miles now and it's been trouble free.  It's either a '97 or '98.  Love the sound they make.    I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, you've just got to find one that fits your needs and budget.  One thing you might consider is EFI vs. carbs.  Carbs work great until they don't work and then things can get ugly pretty fast. 

It requires some trust on both sides.  You ship your gun to him, he ships his to you.  FFL's are not required within the state. 

  My assumption is that would happen the same way any cop justifies opening a locked trunk when they smell weed in the car.... probable cause.  It doesn't matter that he says it's not loaded.  In God we trust, all others must have proof.  

    I think it's pretty ingenious.  Can you think of a better way initiate the reaction he was looking for?           While I see where you're going, a picket sign isn't a rifle.  Whether they should or not, the police will not react the same way to someone holding a picket sign as someone carrying a rifle.
