That's a whole bunch of nope ropes.

Well that sucks. I got my CC to speed up gun purchase mainly. In and out in about an hour with the usual retail store issues or send my card info to my FFL guy. There are a couple scenarios that not having it may be better. State depending I'm sure. Like a traffic stop. But it did get me out an inspection sticker ticket, so I got that going for me.
Maybe part of that they just leave out the report? I mean death on the toilet is already bad enough.

You may check out the inaturalist app. Take a picture of the plant and it IDs it. I have played with it on android. I would assume there is an iphone version as well.
All I know is Dance Moms was a good train wreck of a show to watch.
Don't they usually send the notice week or 2 after the water failed the tests?

re: FRT triggers who has them?

Yep, I'm not shooting 8 mags single shot but with the frt the day may be done in half hour or so.
I would have definitely retained more if it were to a catchy hooks.
Swaggert owned the property in the eighties. There was a model airplane field there. It moved to the inside of the Burbank turn after the first mall construction deal that fell through. The entrance was about where the main entrance is and it was on top of the hill. Kleinpeters owned the field behind that from about the back of the mall.
Probably sub all the material and fab to asia or india.

The How Ridiculous channel is the Australian guys throwing stuff off the dam and towers. They rolled stuff down a hill and pretty sure they went through a tractor tire with the drone.

I have some earbuds similar to the Axil that are all over FB. Non Bluetooth. They do alright I guess but not as noise blocking as a foam earplug. Do the low profile earmuffs still interfere with the stock?

you’d be shocked by the home prices there.

I used to babysit for families in bayou St. John - I’m vv familiar with the hood - even in the 1990s a lot of those houses were worth half a million dollars or more


The article says it has a median home price of $750k and avg income of $125k. Are the same folks who did those house hunting shows in the 2000's writing these articles? She's a second yr kindergarten teacher and he is a rookie police officer and their budget is $1.2 million.

used to be $89 in the back of field and stream?


Wasn't an SKS like $99 at Spillway Sportsman in early 90's. And ammo for it almost cheaper than 22LR? That gun is $500 or more now. I should have bought one then.
I have 3, I have a hatchback daily, a 2 seat fun car, and got a good deal on a pickup truck. All have their own issues. 2 out 3 work at any given moment.

Jokes on them. The first time I check tire pressures I don't out them back on.
If I'm at the point of changing the radiator I will shoot a garden hose into the block until it runs clear. Both directions and may try to get the heater core on its own. But if it's like just changing a thermostat it might just get the radiator drained and refilled with new coolant. Depends on the vehicle. More often than not I will put oem coolant back in if it's a complete drain.
That one became Homicide: Life on the streets TV show.

I might give that show a rewatch and get the book.

Thanks GR for asking the important questions. I am slightly intrigued by this even if I have to cook my own food. I will try it once. At least.
I think that 98-99 to 2004-5 era will be the last generation of cars that would be generally desirable by DIY folks. Truck or car. Relatively affordable just to keep it running or hotrod it if you want. There are some exceptions since but you start getting into the EPA mandated BS and no popup headlights.

If the group is fine it's probably the trigger pull. Find the wall then straight back, steady rate until it goes bang. If it's a new pistol a few or 800 rounds through it will help the trigger.

just how good of a musician Prince actually was


Watch the RRHF George Harrison deal when Prince showed they made an error by leaving him off the top guitarist list.
Honestly it kind of drags. I had some Audible credits. The scrap angle, middle/high school aged kids in and out the drug trade/school, doper parents, stick up guys, NY vs Baltimore, kid that makes it out the hood. I didn't really know the show came from a book. Of course the preacher in the show was the H connect in real life in the 70's/80's.
I got the audiobook The Corner by David Simon which became the Wire. Just the story of a neighborhood over a year with the drug economy being the only constant.
