  1. Understand that the cold/hot pressure increase is normal and fully expected by the tire manufacturer. Just something to be aware of if you check them when stopped just off the interstate for gas. If you set them to 35 psi before you left and they check at 41 psi at a gas stop, don't let any air out. Also don't add more if they still read 35 psi. That means they're not hot, which is good.
  2. Yes, 3 yrs and 6 months. Though the 3 yr old acts like he's 3 months old sometimes.
  3. Agreed. Yeah, but it'll take 20 minutes to traverse that 1/4 mile. And yes, Turkey Creek would be worse. But I'd say Academy couldn't / wouldn't afford the rent there.
  4. I have two boys... 3 and 6 months. I look forward to stuff like that.
  5. I used the "beetle bag" for several years at my old house. It seemed to do a reasonable job of keeping them off my plants. The number of beetles captured was staggering. Nothing like tossing a bag jammed full of writhing vermin into the trash. The typical grub killer stuff (milky spore) to put on your lawn in the spring helps as well.
  6. Lots of good advice here... 65 mph max speed. Lug nut torque as well as bearing and tire temps are of concern. Check the air pressure in addition to lug nuts regularly. Hot air pressure may be 6-8 psi above the cold setting. The bearing housings shouldn't be hotter than warm to the touch. The larger diameter tires and bearings the better. Use quality high speed Koyo or Timken bearings. Some trailers come with pretty crappy bearings. Real trailer tires (designated by "ST") have stiffer side walls to help reduce sway compared to regular car tires (designated "P"). 60F/40R weight distribution. Tongue height (level trailer) isn't that important other than dragging when you traverse abrupt slope transitions in the road. For example, you're on a flat road and need to go up a steep driveway. If you go forward, the tongue may drag when the Jeep is on the slope but the trailer isn't. The rear may drag if you're backing up. Cross the safety chains. Twist them if too long. Get hooks with spring clips to make sure they don't bounce off. Bike flags to help see the corners. When the flags liberate (and they will eventually at 65 mph) replace them with tennis balls. Add some reflective tape to help others see the trailer.
  7. If that's really true, I'd go with a lever gun or AR variant.
  8. Glad Dick's and Gouger Mtn will get some competition. Sure wish they'd put it somewhere other than Kingston Pike.
  9. You should practice how you carry. It's the only way to build muscle memory. Muscle memory works under stress, cognitive memory does not.
  10. I believe it's simply because she was in a wheelchair and unable to pass through the metal detector without it.
  11. *opens new tab and checks online account* *sigh* Nope, no unusual traffic on my account. I really did spend that much.
  12. Can I be your girlfriend? I already have an SUV.
  13. Pics work for me. Nice car. Stock?
  14. I've never seen a holster like that either. I suspect you'd have to get one for each position. I would encourage you to re-think SOB carry. It's not as accessible or concealable as you might think. And it really hurts if you fall on it. maybe this... Fobus Holster: Roto-Holstersâ„¢
  15. I don't disagree, but I will say the above is likely why most folks (me included) have recommended a "reputable" realtor. Realtors live and die by their reputation. I doubt a reputable realtor would compromise their ethics by leading a buyer to pay too much for a house. If they push you into spending as much as $20k more ... that's only $600 to their firm, of which they personally only get a cut. That's not much to burn a reputation over.
  16. Wow. That's just sad. What's next, pat downs of screaming 3 yr old girls? Oh, um...
  17. "To protect and serve..." These folks sure got serviced.
  18. If you get said warranty, read the fine print in excruciating detail. Make certain you fully understand exactly what is, and more importantly what is not covered. Ask me how I know...
  19. I'll echo lots of stuff.... Get pre-approved for a loan. Do the math yourself and determine what you can afford. Pay no mind to what the bankers say in that regard. If you've got good credit, play the mortgage companies off one another. Negotiate hard for the lowest rate. A few tenth's of a percent mean thousands down the road. Bring 20% down to the table. It makes everything easier. If you don't have that much, keep saving. Make a checklist of things you want in a house. Take it with you for every showing and fill it out along the way. Make notes. Take pictures (ask permission first). Don't trust that you'll remember little details.... after seeing 20+ houses, you won't. edit... I've found the checklist I created when we were looking. If you're interested, I'll email it to you. Hire a reputable realtor. A good one will know the local builders and steer you toward (or away from) houses as appropriate. Sign a contract for no more than 60 days. If you're not happy, don't be afraid to find someone else. There's plenty to choose from. If you're not a home construction expert, hire a reputable home inspector. Be there when they inspect the house, go through the whole inspection with them, ask lots of questions. Make notes. Take pictures. Watch HGTV and DIY network... watch Holmes Inspection, you'll learn a lot. Plan for several thousand dollars in unexpected expenses in your first 2 years. Stuff happens.
  20. I hope for a single stack subcompact. Preferably one without a $700 msrp.
  21. What happens if you're standing in a puddle when you fire it?
  22. +1 Find a range with lots of rentals available. Let her try a bunch of stuff.
  23. Wow. In Texas of all places too. I feel certain there has to be something else to this story, but taking judge's comments at face value... wow. My wife and I have, semi-jokingly, said that we should go ahead and introduce ourselves to the local child protective services people. Because we'll be the ones who get the cops called on us for whooping our kids in public. If you get sent to jail for a simple spanking, I'd have been sent to jail twice this week. 3 yr olds can be ... stubborn.
  24. Look around and see if places near you sell dry ice. I think the Kroger near me sells it. Putting a block in the fridge and freezer will keep stuff cold for hours. Dry Ice for a Broken Refrigerator or Broken Freezer
  25. Easy solution.... Leave the camera running. Sit it on a porch rail, chair, stair, etc. Go inside and watch through the window. That's no different than remote security cameras. Big brother won't let me see the video, but someone commented that she was standing behind the police filming. I can see that making a cop a little nervous. LEO or not, some people just get anxious when they're being filmed, regardless of the situation.
