Ignorance at work. It's clear that the utility owns the meter, not the homeowner. If I were the worker, I'd file charges.

I'd be real careful with it. The metal is severely pitted and I feel sure some areas will be too thin if you remove all the corrosion.

I was wondering the same thing. Dad had a cruiser with a HUGE windshield on it. Too tall for me to see over, really wide and flared out to cover the hands... it was enormous. When I rode the bike at highway speed, it created a low pressure pocket in front and the wind whipped around behind me. It was so strong that it pulled my jacket forward away from my chest and up until it hit my helmet. I could also feel it pulling my helmet up and forward. It was incredible. I told him if he needed a windshield that big, just trade the bike for a convertible.

Fairfax, VA. Just outside of DC.

Where exactly is the pain? Low (between your shoulders), mid, or high (base of skull)? Get someone to take a few pictures of you riding. Have a close look at your posture in the photos. Are you hunched over a little, head at a funny angle, ...?

This is easy. Both.

Haven't seen it ages, but loved it as a kid. RIP.

If all you intend it for is skeet/trap, I'd get the O/U. You rarely see any competitive shooters using a semi-auto. I assume there's a reason for that.

What they said. A normal round goes BANG! A squib round goes pop. It's obvious when it happens. A semi-auto won't cycle.

I guess I'm the other guy that does the DVD version. We've had it for years and really liked it. We watched lots of movies before we had kids. We've cut it back to 1 at a time now as we rarely have a 2 hours free to watch a movie that isn't made by Disney or Pixar.

Heh... that's happened to me too. My wife walked out of the laundry room and handed me a .45 round and said "You might want this back, it's nice and clean now. Should I be scared?" It took me a minute to realize I'd been shooting several days before and obviously left it in my pocket. I don't really know why I put it there in the first place. I assured her that the dryer doesn't get nearly hot enough to cook off a round. I put the round back in the box and it must have fired, because I don't recall having a dud in a long time. My pistols all have "2nd strike" capability, so my reaction to a misfire is simply to pull the trigger again. I can only recall that happening once with some old milsurp ammo. It fired the 2nd time. If it still doesn't go off, I'll eject the round and carry on. I've never experienced a hangfire.

I'm a little late, but atta boy Ernie! Quite the collapse by Scott.

I try to follow the rules to the most of the time, however there are a few rules that I disagree with.... Spike marks... why can't you tap down spike marks? That's just dumb. Granted, soft spike shoes have reduced the problem trememdously, but still. Ball that stops in a divot in the fairway. I consider that "ground under repair" and think you should be able to move it. As an amateur playing municipal courses, I refuse to accept a penalty for hitting my ball in the fairway. Repeated stroke-and-distance for OB. First ball OB = stroke and distance. 2nd ball OB = just go drop one. I also think some of the other rules about replacing balls and such shouldn't apply to amateurs as well.

Should be interesting to see how it turns out. I'd love to see the weather shake things up a bit.

I think you have an interesting niche, and Chattanooga is a good choice for it. My only suggestion is that you might consider pushing your era up another 40 years or so and include cowboy action stuff. While I'm not personally involved (yet), it seems pretty popular and looks like a lot of fun.

I bet you're the type whose finger prints rust bare metal in a few hours. A machinist I used to work with was that way. He had to wear gloves all the time otherwise his fingerprints would rust the tooling, even black oxided stuff.

Most of those in the links above don't look much different than a "real" gun belt to my (male fashion sensed) eye. At $65, a "real" gun belt isn't that much more expensive. I've been wearing the same Beltman belt daily for about 7 years (though I forgot to put it on this morning ). It hasn't lost any appreciable stiffness in that time. http://thebeltman.net/

Welcome! I used to visit Warrior's Path regularly when I lived nearby.

Beltman's belts have "chicago" screws holding the buckle on. They're easy to remove. The nylon belts work fine for some people. I think it depends on how tight your belt normally is. I don't like my belt real tight, so the extra stiffness of the double layer leather helps. Seems like it would be pretty easy to add embellishments to a plain leather gun belt so it suits your style.

Welcome!

Hydrogen hydroxide works just as well, but it's cheaper.

Probably. Mostly a money grab on their part I suspect. I'm sure they'll claim that it's to minimize the time it's in their possession. Mostly I was just pointing out that it is legal to ship your gun to yourself in another state (care of someone else) without involving an FFL holder.

Regarding shipping.... an FFL is not required. http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/unlicensed-persons.html#shipping-firearms-additional

Well now I have...
