  1. That's awesome... But the indoor lanes should still be opened up. I know the air is cleaner in there than it is at freakin Walmart.
  2. Not for nothing. But indoor ranges have better ventilation and partitions between patrons. Limit each booth to one shooter, or even every other. You want me to wear a mask? No problem. But open the indoor ranges too. I'm happy as hell the outdoor ones will be open and I'll be there more than once next week. But I cant shoot pistols outdoors at Shooters. Dammit....
  3. 34/35 Got the one about armor piercing ammo wrong....
  4. I had planned on cutting the cord in December since I already have Android TV boxes in all my rooms and was going to go with Hulu Live as well. When I called Comcast they told me that just internet would be $89.99 for my level (150 mbs). Since I was paying over $230 a month at the time I was ok with that. The loss prevention specialist i was speaking to was throwing deals at me left and right, which i politely refused and insisted that I cancel everything except the net. She finally said that she had one last offer for me, I keep everything the same, nothing changes, $99 a month. Blew me away. I needled her until she gave me a 2 year guarantee on the price and it was settled. I'm glad it worked out this way since I really dont believe that Android TV boxes/ firestick, tv are ready to take over for cable. Same with Hulu live. Navigation is clunky and counter intuitive and with Kodi there's simply too many sub sections for the average user. While it's no problem for me my wife and Daughter have a hard time with it when Im not around. So now I get 2 years to see how they improve before I have to make that decision. Yay me! LOL
  5. Not for nothing. But if the movie mirrored the book there would be some quite boring parts. No one wants to watch a marathon game of Joust or a perfect Pac Man game. Changes had to be made to keep the audience enthralled. That being said, the book is ALWAYS better than the movie. I believe the only one to come close was Peter Jackson with LOTR. He did an amazing job of keeping as close to the books as possible IMO.....
  6. Might just be me, but I'm kinda thinking that the Gov signed this bill knowing it wont pass Constitutional muster. He gets credit for doing something and in the end it gets knocked down anyways? NRA filed suit within an hour of his signing it so they must think its a slam dunk. Win/win politically?
  7. I agree, no beans. But, no peppers? I use half a bell pepper per onion and at least one jalapeno per pound of meat, with the seeds. I also use a lb of ground hot italian sausage in my chili. Gives it a really great flavor...The cornbread looks fantastic!! I'm gonna try that cheese batch next time im in a chili kinda mood.
  8. Taylor is the brand name.....Pork roll is the product. Nobody calls Hot dogs "Ball Parks". Its a stupid argument that people in North Jersey seem determined to fight to the death....and its sad.
  9. I like the 5" barrel. I'm hoping to find a used one.
  10. Yikes! Almost double the price of the Colt Competition. I'm sure its awesome but that price puts it out of my range...... I'm well aware of the infringements on my freedom. Just looking at the bright side of a shitty situation. I refuse to be miserable or angry all the time. But hey, to each his own....
  11. I was paying $230 for cable/internet from Comcast. I called to cancel and just keep the internet since i have Android TV boxes on my TVs and even tho they are clunky compared to cable i was willing to switch and just get HULU as well. So they tell me that if I am not a cable subscriber then just internet is $89.99 a month! So i let the service agent go through her schpeal but she wasnt coming close so i tell her thanks but no thanks I'll just cancel and keep the internet. She tells me "Well, there's one other thing i can do for you" and she offers me the package I have, with zero changes, for $99 a month. WTF? So of course i say ok. So with the box rentals Im paying around $135 now....15 mins on the phone to save $100 a month. Totally worth it. If I would have gotten just the net for $90 then $40 a month for HULU live I'm just about there anyways. No brainer.....And I still watch whatever i want on the Android boxes...
  12. Wow, no love for Ocean County huh? We are always red but here you all are MFing us? SMH.....
  13. So i got the call from TRPD that my permits are ready to be picked up. Only 20 days since I dropped off the paperwork. They didn't even contact my references this time. Frequent flyer privileges?? Either way I'm a happy camper. Now, I think I know what i want but I'd appreciate some feedback. I'm thinking about a Walther PPQ or a HK VP9 (opinions?) just in case national reciprocity gets passed in my lifetime. A GP100 because I want to match my .357 lever action rifle but I'm open to suggestions in that price range. And finally a 1911, again because I don't have one. I was thinking about the Colt Competition in 9mm. I don't own any .45s and I'm trying to stay within my ammo circle. What do you guys think?
  14. Geico has been awesome for me. 2 claims, both over 5 years ago but they literally had a rental car waiting for me at my house before I even got there. No problems with payments or anything else. They have become more expensive over the years but I'm not sure i would get the same service. I can go with NJM through my work but i have been told they are a bare bones company? No frills....I like the way Geico went out of their way to make sure I was happy.....

    That's awesome. We are very proud of our Irish heritage. So say hello to Murphy Shamus O'Brien and Finn Patrick O'Brien. LOL Murphy is a black lab/ beagle mix and Finn is a yellow lab/ golden retriever mix. Both were rescues from high kill shelters in Georgia.
  16. I went through this earlier this year. From what i was told, Rheem and Ruud are the same product, just different branding and neither are top of the line. The first quote I got was from NRG and the Ruud units (Furnace and AC) had thousands of shitty reviews online. Ending up with another contractor who verified what i had read. Seems that TRANE, CARRIER and LENNOX are the units to buy. I ended up reading much later that there are actually only a couple of companies that make ALL of the AC units and simply brand them differently for the illusion of competition. Whether thats true or not, who knows? But it seems plausible....
  17. Love that place. Even though its a bit of a drive for me (Toms River) its now the only place I shoot until i buy my membership at Central Jersey. Lanes are clean, well lit and the ventilation is better than average. Plus the RO's are very cool guys. Prices are not crazy but still a lil high. I was able to get a few bucks off the AR I bought there, but i guess it depends on what it is. I couldn't get him to budge on the Henry .357 I was drooling over. I ended up with a Winchester 94ae that I love. But if he would have come down 50 bucks i would've grabbed the Henry for sure. Unlike places like Shore Shot, which is a range with a little gun shop. This is a gun shop that happens to have a range. The store is huge and they have a archery range as well. Been looking at crossbows for awhile and will pull the trigger eventually. I highly recommend Shooters if you couldn't already tell.
  18. I taught myself after I bought my bike. My friend who already had his license rode it home for me and then i just tooled around on it in my Condo's parking lot until i felt comfortable enough to go out on a road. Then just around my block for a couple of weeks. It was fun, had a couple of close calls but never dropped it.
  19. Seems like prices have been inching downward for the last year or so. I'm buying into the thought that by mid summer there could be a pretty good drop off of prices. As for CTD, I wouldn't order a roll pin from them. They could sell .223/5.56 for a nickel a round and I still wouldn't give them a nickel. Bastards.....
  20. I have a sideloaded FireStick in my bedroom and a Android TV Box in my living room. The box is cool because I can just download stuff from Google Play. It was more a PIA for the stick since Amazon started blocking KODI. I run a KODI build from TVAddons.com that is simple and streamlined. Unlike the version of the The Beast that I used to run. Way too busy. I still have Comcast Xfinity though, The gadgets are cool, but clunky. And to be honest, and I know its gonna sound weird, but I miss commercials when I watch a show without them. Not all of them obviously, but sometimes I like them. I watched the Yankees all last year and in between innings they put up a blank screen and I'd sit in silence for 6 minutes until the game came back on. Drove me nuts!!!
  21. I agree with you 100% and I'm sure that you're right.....But it doesn't make me feel any better about it. The Stephan's case was a good one.
  22. I have a hard time with 2 of mine when i load 15 in. 14 and everything is peachy. No issues with the other 3 I have....Just haven't gotten around to sending an email to HexMags.
  23. There's a scrapper in my neighborhood, he left me his number and whenever i have crap to get rid i call him. He even takes the junk i know he cant sell or scrap just to make sure i always call him when i have decent stuff for him. Its an awesome arrangement!
