I'll give Dodge credit on their colors. Too many cars/trucks are very bland these days. Fire engine red is about the best you can hope for, and i don't really like that color. I haven't seen a decent green in years.

Depends on who's in the vehicle and perceived attitude of the mob. You said very angry, so... If that means they've got clubs at a minimum and are breaking windows and dragging people out... Get off the X. I make every effort to leave some maneuvering room between me and the car in front. If I've got to push another car out of the way or otherwise part the sea, so be it. I'll do whatever I can not to hurt anyone, but I'm getting my family out of there. If they're only beating on the cars with bare hands and making no attempt to enter the cars, then I'll do my best to keep cool and wait it out. Damage to my vehicle isn't worth hurting anyone.

The CDC already has been reporting entire households as positive when a single family member tests positive.

One of each, two of many, three of some...

Yes, I would guess its leaking past the threads.

4:1 here as well. Use plain white sugar.

To @Grayfox54 point above... Or were the hair stylists false positives?

Cool. I may or may not have dispatched an untold number of nuisance squirrels using CB's growing up in a subdivision. I bought a pellet gun for that purpose now, and it's louder than the CB's.

Note that the hospitals here haven't been anywhere near capacity in the past 4 months. Most have been virtually empty. Given that society has been reopened for 2 weeks, if sick people aren't flocking to the hospitals now, I doubt they will.

We had a couple for a week back in April, but none since. Need to clean the feeders again.

As I understand it, the tickle your brain nasal swab only tests for live virus. So if you've already had it and recovered (with or without symptoms) you test negative unless you've come in contact again. I'd presume a 2nd (or 3rd, or 4th,....) positive test would be asymptomatic and mean you've picked it up somewhere. The antibody test is what tests for immunity, and I dont think those results are what's being reported. If antibody test results are being included, then the data is even more cloudy. Antibodies just mean your body is prepared to fight it off before you come in contact. They don't magically make the virus disappear. It's still there its just easier for your immune system to destroy. Antibodies are like being in a fox hole with a minigun and a pallet of ammo knowing exactly where the enemy line is. The moment they charge, you pop a flare and start mowing them down. You still might break a sweat and have to duck while reloading, but the outcome is clear. No antibodies is like walking down a dark alley and the BG grabs you from behind. The fight is on, the outcome is uncertain.

I'm curious why folks are getting tested. Are they sick or just paranoid? My sister-in-law got tested but it turned out she had mono instead. I wish they would distinguish between those with symptoms and those without.

Truth. When I do dumb things and hurt myself now, there's usually a sigh followed by... well, thats gonna hurt forever now.

Got My Old Homelite XL Chainsaw Running Again !

I fired up ye ole EZ for some tree trimming this afternoon. Started on the 5th pull and ran just fine. I dont recall using it last year so it may have been 2 years since I last used it. -
Yes, early Fleetwood with Peter Green was very much a blues band. It changed considerably when he left. It's funny though as I always thought that song was kind of odd for Priest. But it makes sense after hearing the original.
-
I only recently discovered that Priest covered this song. I thought they wrote it.

When in doubt, always call it in. Better to be the one calling than the one being called about. The caller is the de facto victim and the person being called about is the de facto suspect.

A friend has 3 boys and we have 2, all similar ages. His wife says when boys get together, the collective IQ doesn't multiply, it divides. That's funny but also not entirely untrue.

I've no idea how people manage tiny trailers they can't see. I should probably learn to use my mirrors more than I do, but my utility trailer is 4ft wide and hard to see in the side mirrors until it's already headed the wrong way. Its got a rear ramp gate that I can more easily see when looking over my shoulder.
-
When the wheelbase of the tow vehicle is the same or longer than the distance from the rear axle to the trailer axle (essentially the trailer wheelbase), it can be very hard to back up. Short tow vehicle + long trailer = easy. Long tow vehicle + short trailer = hard. Could also be that the hitch on the Tundra is off center, but I wouldn't expect that. Distance from the rear axle to the hitch ball also affects the trailer. A long rear overhang makes backup more difficult.

I'll ask a silly question... why would one remove the buffer tube to clean it? I don't shoot nearly as much as some, but removing the buffer tube for cleaning has never crossed my mind.
-
You mean it won't close fully? Can't push the pins back in? Remove the BCG and try again.

With snubby revolvers, sometimes the muzzle/cylinder blast is as or more objectionable than the recoil. The first thing we rented when shopping for my wife was a. 38 snubby. She hated it, and so did I. Not horrible outdoors, but it was terrible at an indoor range. I found the 4" .357 nicer to shoot than the .38 snubby.
