I've used Turbotax for over 20 years.

Exactly! And big shoes too.

I do have big hands. Also big feet and we all know what that means!

I like the Pachmayr Presentation grips: http://pachmayr.com/home/presentation-grips.php

What you REALLY want is a Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle. Available in either 7.62x51 or 5.56x45. Go for the 7.62 version.

Target trigger and hammer. The grips alone are worth a nice piece of change.

Painting airweight J-Frame?
enfield replied to maroonandwhite's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
My 638 looks like crap after 15 years of carry. But then, I'm the only person who ever sees it. If I were to have it refinished, I'd go with Cerakote or one of the other premium finishes. The S&W finish ain't durable at all. That said, I painted an FAL barrel and lower with black grill paint. It looked great, and it's probably as durable as the original paint. It was South American and had the barrel worn bright, obviously from some doofus carrying it by the barrel. I think it was carried a lot, shot rarely and dropped once. :D -
The gov is incapable of making this happen. They're long on arrogance and short on ability. Plus, they don't care if you have internet as long as their favorite class of voters is voting for them. Their objective is to stay in power, not to make you happy.

You'll all love a government-regulated internet. You'll be lucky to have dsl, but you'll pay for premium service. The gov couldn't run a cathouse and make money.

You'll go far, Grasshopper!

I have a low (well, no) tolerance for Steve Martin. He always made me reach for the remote. :)

Any guidance for car travel to Georgia?
enfield replied to RAJBCPA's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
There are certain concealed-carry practices that are safe and prudent wherever you go - keep it concealed, keep your mouth shut, don't drink while carrying, when stopped let the nice officer know you have a permit and that you're carrying, look for and obey signs when entering buildings and parks. Do these things and I believe you'll be within the letter of the law everywhere that your permit is recognized. -
It is. We're also helpful. Get over being butthurt - you asked a vague question.

Looks like 5-6 inches of fresh 'White Death' out there on my deck. Think I'll have another cup of coffee.

Hey, it's The Doctor! :D

Get out your paperwork and call the manufacturer.

Here is part of a paragraph from the Grolier Encyclopedia: Electrolysis is an energy-consuming process. To obtain 2 grams of hydrogen and 16 grams of oxygen by the electrolysis of 18 grams of water, the equivalent of 68,300 calories of electrical energy must be supplied. This same quantity of energy, homwever, can then be recovered from the hydrogen and oxygen, either suddenly in an explosion or slowly if they are brought together in a FUEL CELL. Two grams of Hydrogen is only 1/227 pound, so the electrical energy actually required to produce a pound of Hydrogen is therefore 68,300 * 227 or 15,500,000 calories of electrical energy! This can be converted into 18,000 watt-hours or 18 kWh. As noted below, the existing technologies to create Hydrogen by electrolysis are all around 20% efficient, which means that around 100 kWh of electricity is used up to produce a single pound of Hydrogen gas. Note that you need to use up 100 kWh of electricity to have 18 kWh of electricity or energy available in one pound of hydrogen gas! If a house's present 15-cent per kiloWatt-hour of electricity is used, that (100 kWh) therefore would require at least $15 of house electricity to be used up to create that single pound of hydrogen gas! We will see below that one pound of hydrogen gas contains just under half of the chemical energy of a single gallon of gasoline, so, even if everything else was perfect, more than $30 of modern house electricity would be required to simply PRODUCE an equivalent amount of Hydrogen gas to one gallon of gasoline! And then that gas would have to be ferociously compressed and all the rest. Notice that we have implicitly referred to the Conservation of Energy here. We had to USE 100 kWh of electricity to MAKE the pound of Hydrogen, but it can only RELEASE the 18 kWh of energy which it can contain. This is a "detail" regarding Hydrogen that no one ever seems willing to mention! We just saw that even if we were only going to try to compete with house electricity, We would have to use $15 of electricity to make the Hydrogen which could replace only 18 kWh or $3 worth of electricity. Would anyone seriously think that sort of thinking would represent any possible SAVINGS?

Fuel cells do not provide free or even cheap electricity. They are very reliable, VERY expensive, battery substitutes. Hydrogen is not a fuel, it's a battery. You have to put the energy into it before you can take the energy out. All of the terrestrial hydrogen is locked up in water and minerals in a low energy state. If you can figure out how to generate free hydrogen cheaply you'll become the richest person the world has ever seen. Good luck with that. I'm building a Mr. Fusion.

Smells of a scam to me.

I did such a good job on myself with a temporary filling that my hygienist called the dentist in to admire my work!
