    I bought a generator after Irene. I was surprised during Sandy that more people had not done the same.

     

    Same here. From what I heard, so did a lot of folks. Problem was they returned them after it didn't pan out.

     

    The investment in time and money paid off for us in Sandy. We had our well, fridges and freezers running along with Internet and TV and a few lights.

    I went with a wheeled portable that I can run and lock behind our fence. Takes two minutes to roll out, hook up and throw the switches and we are live again.

    Hopefully we don't need to use it again! I still run it once a month....just in case..

    That was the sound of a swan singing. Consider the enormity of her failure. Unless she lives to be 110, this was her last chance to shred what's left of the 2A. For a career of anti-gun hatred, she got zero. She's very likely ruined the careers of several friends, who she lured out of their safely moderate positions. And the biggest irony, she's created millions of new gun owners and radicalized millions more. By increasing our base, exposing the depravity of the anti zealots, and demonstrating that even the exploitation of beautiful dead babies and their families can't win gun control, she's made the whole topic radioactive at the federal level for a generation.

     

    Unfortunately, none of this can be said for NJ. As I mentioned before, I predict a spat of revenge bills to come out of this. The good thing is, no matter what happens here, I think the country as a whole is secure.

     

    She makes my skin crawl. I'm sure she'll brew up some other bs feel good bills before she retires or gets vote out.

     

    It's up to CC to veto all the bs bills on his desk now. If he doesn't, we are no better off in this state now, and it can still get worse for us!

    I heard him works too, just never tried.

     

    So you think do two? Grubx and specticide?

     

    You on a well?

    I respectfully disagree with those recommendations, especially if you have a well or are near a natural water source.

    Or if you have pets that frequent this area.

    Do some reading on the subject. Google other methods too.

    Insecticides and grubx are bad stuff and it will only work temporarily against the moles but permanently on the environment.

    Your soil needs microorganisms to grow grass and other living things. This stuff wipes them all out.

    It then takes years to recover.

    get some milky spore or nematodes, spread them and let them work.

    you will only kill grubs and nothing else.

     

    I would steer away from most of the commercial grub formulas only cause they kill the beneficial organisms in your lawn too.

     

    Unfortunately, moles love earthworms too.

    They'll never be 100% gone unless you figure out how to exclude them from your property. (cats, dogs or chicken wire barriers all help)

     

    I still get voles from time to time but I have learned to think of them as free aeration.

    I checked these out last week at the A&D show on Pier 94 in NYC. They looked great but I don't know about finding wood to fit in the grill tray to be able to cook with it. I discovered with the Viking that there is also a smoker box so you can smoke salmon and meats in the grill.

     

    You can use chunk charcoal, or almost any chunk wood. Unless you cut your own, then it's easy!

     

    The little smoker box in the Viking does ok. I used it a few time for small q's, and fish. It's fairly well insulated so you can just run that burner and maintain 225 all day. The Viking infrared burners do a wicked prime rib or beef roast too.

    The Wife and I will soon be purchasing our first guns. My wife before me as my employer is holding up the process but I digress

     

    We took lessons with a Glock 17 9mm. She liked the size but was not in love with it. I was not a fan of the grip but it is a fine pistol. We then tried a Glock 19 9mm. Wife hated it because of the size. I liked the trigger but could take it or leave it.

     

    Then we tried the Beretta Storm 9 mm. She loved it. Didn't mind the DA/SA trigger one bit. We felt it had a little more recoil than the Glocks but we used different ammo. I'm not sure if that was the cause.

     

    Bottom line is shoes, dresses, handbags, and handguns. Women love Italian designs.

     

    Its so true. As soon as my wife held the Beretta Cheetah in her hand I knew she was gonna buy it, and she did...

    I think they said they had about 70, it will be crowder but worth it.

    53 last month i think they said, 70 in Jan. Get there early, I got there 40 min before they said to and the parking lot was already filling up.

     

    Wow! That's insane! 70 in that little room?

    I will heed your advise and get there early!
