  1. They forgot to ... "Let it go, let it go...".
  2. You need a dirt backstop. A stand of trees doesn't work. I had bullets hit my house because neighbors about 1/2 mile away apparently didn't realize bullets bounce off trees.
  3. Classic old west gun fighter, Josey Wales style.... One .44 on each leg. Another gun belt with 2 more .44's across the front of the saddle. Shoulder holster with a .38. Saddle scabbards with 2 lever guns and a shotgun. Good to go. Or whatever you're inclined to carry. I would think you'd need reasonable retention so things wouldn't bounce away.
  4. We've been walking around our subdivision every day it hasn't been raining, and plenty of other people are doing the same. I've had more interaction with neighbors that I don't live right next to in the past week than in the prior 10 years. As others have said, winter has been rather miserable. Now that it's warming up, it'll be really hard to keep folks inside. Cuomo needs to get a grip and realize he's in a city of 8.6 million. When more than half aren't at work daily, getting some vitamin D, some exercise, and de-stressing is just what the doctor ordered.
  5. Mine stays in a thumb break holster as an extra layer. My kids are old enough to know better, but I still put it away when I'm not home.
  6. A friend's wife is an ER nurse. Since they have nothing to do at work these days, they got to thinking. A very nasty version of the crud passed through here in January. Mild fever, cough, congestion, all the usual stuff. So they convinced themselves they've already had it. Time will tell if they're right or wrong.
  7. Hundreds of thousands. A 3rd grader at a nearby school tested positive 10 days ago and it's just now hit the news. Given what we know about where and how the virus spreads, that means thousands of local people have been exposed. Yet we're not seeing much in the way of sickness at this point. https://www.wbir.com/mobile/article/news/mother-of-vonore-child-with-covid-19-wants-others-to-take-it-seriously/51-d413f197-e1f0-4ae8-b4e2-1ae79267cc93
  8. Mine stays in a drawer when I'm home and locked in the safe when I'm not. I found the fingerprint safes the same as above, a bit flakey. The ones that seemed best had the mechanical fingertip buttons to push in sequence to unlock, but I never bothered to get one.
  9. I think it's how the audio is mixed in movies. It's mixed for a theater setting where you don't mind everything being really loud. My ears aren't perfect, but I also have to crank the volume to hear the lines and then the special effects get really loud. I think you'd need a pretty advanced EQ to be able to change the mix enough to get what you want. That said, we looked at sound bars recently and I was impressed with a Polk Audio one at Best Buy. I don't recall the model, but it was noticeably less expensive than the Bose.
  10. I'm ok with admitting that I was wrong initially. I feel better knowing Elon Musk is wrong too.
  11. I think that's just for the lab. Time from being tested to being notified of results is about a week. And interestingly, I've heard several first and second hand reports of people under 70 being denied a test.
  12. They have to pay taxes on cash compared to tax deductions for debt/interest payments. It takes money to make money so having a big pile of cash sitting around doing nothing doesn't bring value in the current school of business thought. I don't necessarily agree, but that's what it is. My employer told us yesterday to start sandbagging and no overtime without approval way up the chain going forward. Overtime has been all you want up to now. 1st quarter is pretty much in the bag at this point, 2nd and 3rd quarter are now in serious doubt. It'll be a bumpy ride into 2021.
  13. A few minutes with sandpaper and a rattle van would fix the muffs.
  14. This. And there is no "common property" like out west.
  15. Buy stock in all the PPV services. They're making a killing.
  16. Sounds like my kids underwear. My wife was doing laundry yesterday hollered "this is GROSS!!!" on several occasions. I threatened to make them go wipe their butts in the grass like a dog.
  17. I thought that's what shower curtains were for?
  18. I can see rationing utilities and seizing property, but closing the liquor stores?!?! That's going too far!!
  19. Not price gouging, capitalism. Where there's panic, there's profit. Which makes me wonder about this stock market silliness. How is the DOW "plummeting" with all this unprecedented spending going on?
  20. Pressure washer?
  21. One of the first things I do when I get a new pistol is clean it and use only a tiny bit of lube. Then I sit on the couch and cycle the slide a couple hundred times. Then I look for witness marks where it's rubbing or burrs and perhaps polish those areas a little.
  22. The birthing wards better start planning for January 2021.
  23. So how are they? As for work, I have no "work from home" options. I do have a significant amount of time off saved up, so I can burn a couple weeks if I have to. As for travel, I think the first week of April may be interesting. Spring break is next few weeks here. I know lots of people are headed to the beach for the week. Most all of the southeast coastal states have diagnosed cases. I expect the number of cases to shoot up by mid April.
  24. It seems the speed at which it's spreading is the biggest problem. Its hitting so many people so fast that it's overwhelming the ability to care for everyone. I think the virus spreading across the globe is inevitable, the problem is slowing it down to a manageable rate. Hopefully the warmer weather in our hemisphere will help, but it may get worse as winter comes to the bottom half.
