I agree with this. You could also get something like cerrosafe to check the dimensions of the chamber. If it's smaller than its supposed to be, there's definitely some build up.

Wow.

Diabetes could be considered contagious via genetics or peer pressure. As to your point about refusing services or insurance coverage, I've made a similar argument regarding motorcycle helmet laws.

I dunno, I'd rank that higher than a fake phone call. More actual effort involved.

Transporting live wild animals even within the state already requires a permit. Meat and taxidermied animals sounds virtually unenforceable.

Internment camps? Segregation? Someone actually wrote that down. Wow.

Whatever happened to just pulling the fire alarm?

While I agree with @Erik88 that the global population and our actions have influenced climate change, to @gregintenn's point, only human arrogance is big enough to think its entirely ours to do or undo. The global climate is far too complicated a thing to have any confidence in our ability to predict long term change. There's plenty of things we can do that we currently believe to be directionally correct. But those directions are likely to continue to change as our knowledge base increases.

Exactly. Dirt naps are a lot less expensive on a little bike. A single guy needs about 6 motorcycles.... a trials bike, an MX bike, a street legal trail bike, a sporty street bike, a touring bike, and a track bike.

Sweet bike! I've found videos by these guys to be quite helpful. Geared toward bikes a little smaller than your, but the core skills are the same. https://youtu.be/SN5VB-0oVUg

Welcome!

We had a new guy at work from Indiana. He was talking about towing various things with his S-10 and Subaru Outback. My response was... that may work in Indiana, bit its a bad idea in east TN. It didn't take long for him to figure that out for himself.

My parents had the same problem and had a deer nuisance permit for several years. They also usually have a big flock of turkey's running around, but they vanish into thin air on opening day.

I had to put chicken wire around my gardens to keep the rabbits and such from eating everything. I also got a decent air rifle for the occasional game pie. Those might still be salvageable if you can get them protected.

We've only got a couple bean plants, but they've been making beans like crazy. I think we've eaten them nearly every night for 2 weeks. Had I expected this much yield, I would've saved them for canning.

The squash borer... one day they look fine, then they turn yellow and die in a day or two. Usually takes asparagus several years to yield enough to make meal.

RIP Dusty.

Sorry, haven't heard of him. A guy I work with does some gunsmithing. I've been told he does good work.

Welcome!

I grilled some chicken Sunday evening as well. That and some fresh garden veggies made a nice supper.

Yeah, people think its bird shot, it's only effective to 30 or 40 yards. Except the pellets will fly 200-300 yards. What goes up must come down.

Me and a friend got peppered by some dove hunting nitwits while we were playing golf. They were hunting in the field on the other side of the tree line. Boom, boom, boom, .... uh oh. Heard the pellets come through the trees, ducked our heads, and ended up with a few welps on our arms and necks. I also have a BB in my leg, courtesy of a grade school friend.

Zucchini bread FTW! They also make decent noodles as a pasta alternative.

I'll add to @Murgatroy... any of the current crop of 300/500cc sporty bikes. They're all good and buy a used one. He should be able to sell it for a little net loss in a couple years provided its still in decent shape. I don't recommend a cruiser, especially a smaller one. They don't go, stop, or turn, and they're low you can't see or be seen. 20 years ago I started with a used GS500 and moved up to a CBR600 a few years later. I succumbed to the dirty side when I had kids. Get insurance quotes before you buy anything. Take the MSF course.
