    Sure wish you told the grass that it did not need to be cut, just mowed it yesterday!    I'm in Northern FL, we have "Real" trees that actually lose their leaves too :)  

    Same here, but I swapped the leaves for fronz. It sounds like you are watering it too much. The winter dew is enough this time of year. In the summer, the occasional rain is enough, unless you go 5 days with a dry spell, then you want 30 minutes each zone (about an inch of water) is all it needs.  Unless the prior people didn’t properly train the roots to go deeper into the sand.

    I think that is what they call it, much is still new to me.  Whatever it is, it propagates by runners and there is no seed for it.  Sort of sucks as when the dogs dig it up you can only replace it with sod :(   To me it is more a weed than it is grass.

    That is St Augustine grass.  It stays green all year round and doesn’t need to be cut between Dec-Mar.

    Why do you have a leaf in your picture?  I only have palm trees on my lot, with stringy pines in the preserve behind. I never lift a shovel nor a rake.

    Since you are looking for a larger frame, you can also look at a larger caliber handgun in 9mm or 45acp and get the manufacturers 22lr conversion kit. Just about all of the major brands have them. Same frame, different slide and mags that you swap out in less than a minute.

    Yes, they use the same frame and different length slides. I am assuming that the new G43x slide is the same exact slide as the regular G43, so I would be able to buy the G48 and put my 43 slide on it and have an 43x also.

    Hmm, interesting!  I also now wonder if the 48 slide will run on the 43 frame.

    So what is cost of living? what actually changes from state to state? It's primarily just taxes and insurance... will any differences off set those costs?

    It’s also the purchase cost of the house, leading to savings for a home mortgage and interest.  I found that central joisey home prices are greatly inflated for what you get compared to many other states.

    The G42 is in a separate class. You can drop it in your t-shirt pocket. You can't do that with any 9mms except the DB9.

    Almost went for a G42, but found the LCP-2, it’s smaller than an iphone.

    If the 43x takes the same holster as the 43, I will most likely get one.

    If the slide is the same and the front frame contour is the same as the base 43, should fit the existing holsters. Hopefully it’s only the grip that grows 4mm

    Mine is 7+1 (with standard baseplates). I'm good with that. I don't want a larger single stack pistol.

    Are you using a magguts follower?  How do you like it?

    Went with Peltor Tactical 500.. have not been to the range yet.. but really conformable and audio is decent.. 

    How do you like them?  Thinking of going with the tac500 instead of the comtac3. I mostly shoot indoors, and the bluetooth looks nice to keep linked with my phone

    Right around $1k, especially if you are open to used, Smith & Wesson Pro Series 1911 in 9mm.

    Other good budget type choices are the STI Spartan.

    Older Kimber 1911's were good, newer ones not impressed with.

     

    I agree on the older Series 1 Kimber.

    Congrats on the home!  Also moved to Florida, but I have a different cost experience as I am in a more Florida native county, the beaches are free and about 10 minutes away, drive right on. My property taxes dropped $11,000 per year, both were 2400sqft, but I now have my own pool and spa. Insurance costs home/auto are the same, it’s a new home built to tough standards. Food, clothing, shopping is the same, except the people are waaayyy nicer.  Going to the range is still weird, I just toss everything on the car seat.  Only regret is I should have left sooner.
