Did you have city sewer service at your old house? If you had septic and your new house has sewers, expect your bill to approximately triple due to sewer charges.... your $40 bill becomes $120. Beyond that, have you moved to a different utility company? Rates can vary considerably.

Plastic media is commonly used for grit blast type cleaning operations. It's great for light work. I'd say the BB's have a similar effect.

The only way to truly stop the corrosion is to sand/polish the affected areas to bare metal and apply a corrosion resistant surface treatment (bluing, parkerize, etc.). The trouble is that the tiny stuff in the very bottom of the pits is what's causing the corrosion to continue. Until you remove it and put a barrier in place, you can't stop it. It could also be that the bits of rust you see is foreign material that's sitting on (or embedded in) the surface and corroding. Again, they have to be removed. If you don't want to do any of that, you can stop the corrosion by putting it in a non-oxidizing environment (a sealed container full of nitrogen, argon, or other inert gas).

You'd need to know the powder charge behind each to determine for sure. But I doubt it's enough difference to matter.

I have a Taurus PT145 and love it. Had it for about 4 years, accurate and reliable.

A little chafing in sensitive areas can be quite the motivator. Walking funny because your muscles are sore is one thing, walking funny because other things are sore is something else entirely.

I received this via email from my sister. She received from a friend, who is the author's aunt. Thought I'd share...

Congrats!

Based on the 2" barrel data given above, you get approximately a 26% more muzzle energy with a .357. The energy difference increases to 38% with a 4" barrel and 50% with a 6" barrel. The difference with a 12" barrel is also 50%. So that tells me that you're only getting half the possible benefit of using .357's in a snubby. The rest of the energy is lost as muzzle blast.

Blocked again for me as well. Odd. I'm sure the boss will get it squared away shortly.

It showed up blocked for me on my first attempt monday morning. I read the thread saying Google had fixed it after lunch today and found it to be fixed immediately. I may no attempts with Firefox between monday morning and this afternoon. That said, just keep trying.

If the weather was such that I really needed that 4th season capability... I'd stay home. But yes, depends on where you intend to go and when. It can get quite cold up high in the Appalachians when it's balmy in the valleys. Backpacker Magazine - Gear Finder: Tents

It may have already been mentioned in here somewhere, but you might also look at a belly band.

This. I carry a PT145 and I've no issue with the recoil in the relatively small gun. .357's in a snubby? Not a chance. And this. Accuracy (under stress) is far more important than caliber. Use whatever gun you shoot well, period.

I wish I did, does that count? My 2 yr old likes to ride around the neighborhood occasionally in his toddler seat. That's about all I have time for these days. Years ago, I rode the road bike lots.

I had 3 great uncles (brothers) who were WWII vets, all of them have passed away. The youngest was a belly gunner in a B-17 based in England. He didn't talk about it much but I do remember a story about being stuck in the turret ala "Memphis Belle". The middle brother was in the signal corps and travelled all over Europe. He'd talk your ear off, I loved listening to his stories. Nothing really exciting but lots of people and places. I'm not 100% sure what the oldest did, I think he was a staff officer. He also didn't talk about it much.

And the reverse applies when re-holstering. It's difficult and takes a lot of practice to draw/holster w/o pointing the gun at your chest. There are several instances where someone shot themself while practicing with a shoulder rig. While neither is pleasant, there's a big difference between shooting yourself in the leg/arse compared to the chest.

Not firearm related, but I have these shirts... (My mother was a high school math teacher) PJs Parts And I'm wearing at t-shirt version of this one today, at work.

The best way I've found to vent frustrations is splitting wood with an axe. I just wish I had a fireplace. Shooting is fun, but I find it far more fun when the targets explode. Haven't been to a range where I could do that in ages. Riding my motorcycle at an elevated pace down a curvy road is theraputic as well. It forces me to put all other things out of my mind and focus on the task at hand. Beyond that, hiking, bicycling, playing with my son, ...

It's all in the connection between your brain and right wrist. Any modern bike has more than enough power to get the unaware into something they can't get out of in a blink. The Street/Speed Triples are pure hooligan bikes and a hoot to ride. Get insurance quotes before you get your heart set on one. Be sure to put plenty of $$ in your budget for some decent gear. I wear over $800 worth just riding back and forth to work.

The Titebond wood glues are excellent. They'll be stronger than the wood when dry but as stated, surface prep is key. Sand the surfaces down to bare wood and clamp them together while it dries for best joint strength. Painter's tape or a damp paper towel will wipe the (undried) excess away easily.
