Correct. Closing an eye, whether it's the dominant eye or the other one, THEN aiming will result in a true aim with either left-handed or right-handed shooting. Parallax, our eyes seeing the same object from two different angles, is removed when we go one-eyed. To rephrase what CLH added above, aim first with BOTH eyes open then close one eye, then the other. One will remain aligned with the sights and target, and the other will not. It's a demonstration of what the cross-dominant shooter experiences when not compensating by moving the firearm and/or head to align the sights with the dominant eye.

I have a 6.5Kw set now. If I was careful about what was on I think I could run the whole house except the stove, clothes dryer, and A/C. I've had it almost 10 years now and it has never not once no never not ever been started except for regular maintenance checks. I'm in Nashville. When the power occasionally drops, it's for a short period of time. Sometimes long enough to be inconvenient, but never long enough to think the food in the fridge/freezer will be going bad or to be worth the hassle of getting it out of the garage, wheeling it to the back yard, chaining it to the deck, running extension cords (I know, a transfer box is what I need), and plugging crap inside the house into the cords. It came close once and after several hours I said "30 more minutes and I'm getting the genny". It came back on a few minutes later. It takes up space in my garage and it's way too freakin' heavy to really be truly portable. It has wheels for moving around the garage/yard, but if I ever need it to travel with me like with a storm clean-up crew or to take to a friend/family member in need it's not happening. I like having a generator but this one's too big for my needs if I'm honest about what I really need. I'll probably sell it once all this mayhem passes and buy a much smaller one like a Honda EU2000i or EU2200i or the Yamaha equivalent. Then it can sit on a shelf up high and out of the way and will be enough to power a TV, the PC, some lights, the fridge, and recharge batteries as needed. If that's not enough power, I think I'd rather have two EU2000/2200's chained together instead of one larger system. The portability is often underappreciated. I'd be losing the 240v outlet, but I don't think I'd really miss that.

Do it. I have a natural gas grill plumbed directly to the house supply lines. I'll never deal with tanks again.

Thanks. Now that you mention it, I do drop my chin down and right towards my right shoulder too which brings my left eye over a bit.

Strong right handed, strong left eye. I can't hit the broad side of a barn left handed and have trouble manipulating the firearm so I shoot right handed but push my right shoulder out and bring my right arm across to center the handgun in front of my left eye. I suppose if I practiced shooting lefty a LOT I could eventually get better at it, but my current method works for me. @Cruel Hand Luke, is that what you mean by "getting the gun in front of the dominant eye"? Rifle and shotgun are a whole different animal. I shoot right handed, but have to close my left eye or wear glasses with a sticker over my left eye.

That price is the panic-price. Normally they run about $20 each. Mark A's post is still valid though. A small supply on hand with a filtration system to handle more is the way to go as long as you have access to unfiltered water to send through your system. Rain barrels for watering a garden are a great way to store unfiltered water and use it regularly until the zombies come a knockin'.

Generally, we're staying at home but still get out a few times a week. I'm 100% work from home now and Mrs. 'lizard is a teacher. I've made a few Home Depot runs over the past two weeks for some materials to rebuild my vegetable garden raised beds (cedar was finally rotting out after 6+ years) but I finished that up last weekend. We went to the greenhouse (an independent place in the middle of nowhere) today to get some plants for it. We've grabbed a few curbside meals to help out some local restaurants. We still make our weekly grocery store run, but if we had to stop that or go every other week that's fine. We're pretty set with frozen, canned, and dry goods for a while but it's nice to keep fresh produce, meats, and dairy while we can. I always keep plenty of paper towels and toilet paper on hand, so that wasn't really a concern. Most of my driving now is for mental health. I love getting the convertible out of the garage on these warm afternoons and driving down the Natchez Trace or some rural back road. It's going to suck if that has to stop. My septuagenarian in-laws live about 10 minutes away and we've stopped by there a couple of times and sat 10+ feet away out in the driveway and visited for a while. Now we have them on Zoom and that seems to be working well.

Except for working from home full time instead of just 2 days a week, and eating out a lot less, it hasn't changed much for me either except Sunday mornings. Live-stream church is kind of strange. We're saving a lot of money on gas, though!

You're not kidding. I have the 7 gal Reliant Aquatainers and they are HEAVY. Those plus the water heater plus a rotating stack of bottled water should have us set for a while, but I really don't see us losing city water over this. Worst case - I break out the Sawyer bags and Lifestraws and make the 1/4 mile trek to the river.

IANAL, but I suspect that if the lease includes any mention of the parking lot (like access to it, maintenance duties of the land owner, or how many spaces can be used by employees or customers) then it could be argued that the parking lot is included in the lease and therefore is part of the business premises. That's a big "maybe" though. But the problem isn't just the parking lot. Even if they can legally move their loaded firearms from their vehicles to the building, you said the staff walks dogs out back behind the facility. If the lease doesn't include usage of that area then the "place of business" exemption probably wouldn't apply, especially if the DA was a jerk scoring political points.

That's a good plan, IMO but you left out the critical final step: Call 911 as soon as possible, even if that's after you leave the situation. You want to be the first person reporting the incident and you do NOT want the other person filing a report that you brandished a firearm at them and then drove off.

Is SB Tactical the marketing name of the SIG Brace? In other words, is one from SB Tactical the same as one from SIG?

Here's a Big Agnes 3-person for $157.48. You can't beat that with a hiking stick. No gear loft included, but I never use mine for anything but maybe throwing my headlamp in it so I can find it easily if I have to get up at night. https://www.steepandcheap.com/big-agnes-van-camp-sl3-tent-3-person-3-season

Call an independent agent to shop some rates for you. You don't have to go to their office. They can do it over the phone and email you quotes. Then you'll know if AllState is anywhere close to the others and then you can make an informed decision.

Keep an eye on www.steepandcheap.com for some killer deals.

Bump, cuz I bought my first feeder today. It's red glass so I should be good without adding the food coloring which I hear is bad for them. When should I put it out in Nashville? About another month? What's your sugar water recipe? How much sugar to how much a water? Does anything else get added besides sugar and water?

Mine arrived Thursday. Submitted on 12/3.

Mine was done on 12/3 and still shows 'Processing'

For those looking for the "bullet lodged in the glass", it's sitting on the frame at the bottom of the broken pane. Looks to me like it's caught between the two panes. Broke through the first one and stopped by the second. My guess is that there's a divot in the concrete floor somewhere and it was a ricochet that went into the glass door. Even the lowly .380 ought to be able to punch through two pieces of glass. Maybe a good test for the Box-Of-Truth

Bubly/Buble was the only one that came close to being funny to me, and any other year that would have been a 2nd or 3rd tier commercial. The Bud Light ones were a flop to me. We get it....you don't use corn syrup and the other guys do....we got that after the first one....stop already. I'm still not sure what the point of the GoT/Bud Light crossover was. Did they just end the Bud Light "Dilly! Dilly! Kingdom" ad campaign because the Bud Knight got killed and the kingdom got razed by GoT?? I'm confused. The usually solid Budweiser was also a flop with "hey! look at us! we use windmills!" I'm with Mac on liking the Microsoft gaming one, but it has been running for about a week now. On a similar vein I liked Google's Translate ad, but neither of them were what I'd call "entertaining" #SleeperBowl

iTrader is a rating system here on the TGO site. You leave and receive feedback from other TGO members based on your buying, selling, giving, and trading here in the classifieds. It's not a separate e-store. You can see current iTrader ratings beneath the profile pictures of every member on every thread in the classifieds section. It's a gray, green, or red rectangle named "Trader Feedback".

I always use them to buy Amazon gift cards that I load to my Amazon account.

Wasn't the build up of unburned powder over the years in the wall padding a contributing factor in the Guns & Leather range fire a few years ago?

You can chain up to 4 of the Nomad 7s. One is good for charging small handheld devices like phones, headlamps, etc. It only outputs 1A so it won't charge larger items like tablets. Or if it will, it would take a loooong time. I don't know what effect chaining them has on the output. Check with GoalZero's site for details if that interests you. They also have larger models. I'd probably use mine to keep my battery packs topped up and then use the battery packs to charge the devices. I have an Anker PowerCore 10000 (10000mAh) that does 2.4v output. That's enough to charge an iPad and the new iPhones, but not as quickly as the new Apple fast chargers. I get about 5 1/2 full charges of an iPhone 6 out of it. An iPhone X would get about 4 full charges.
