    Are we still on this Polynesian Meatloaf abomination? 

    Gotta spread the Polynesian Meatloaf love beyond the confines of the lucky few on the forums that have had the pleasure of trying it.

    Almost done!!

    $4.99 lb. was a good deal, $5.99 eh, not so much IMO. ( a 20% increase in three months).

    BTW you can also clip the coupon.

    Yeah, still MUCH better whatever the regular price is ($15 a pound??).

    Thanks Joe Biden....

    Prepare thy self!  And make some room in your freezer!    Sale starts on Sunday!!

    Looks like it has gone up a dollar a pound(see first post) from the last year's Christmas sale price.  Thanks Joe Biden.

    You aren't limited to what is out on the floor.  Ask one of people who work in the meat department to get you the largest size your freezer and wallet can tolerate.

    Make sure you are a member of their "frequent shopper" list.  You have to put you phone# in for the additional $2 a pound discount.

    I'll try to leave you guys some!!  Yabba dabba do!!

    If we had a Texas or Florida base I'd have gone there.  Atlanta is pretty much a no go for my wife.  She had a very bad experience when we were stationed in the bible belt from everyone freaking out over her being Jewish and either trying to convert her or shun her.  

    It was a weird 3 year tour there.  She refuses to go back to GA or FL north of I-4. 

    Welcome to NJ!  I'm sorry (half kidding).  The firearms law here suck but there's more to life than firearms.  

    Look at the bright side, you'll have your fighting spirtit re-invigorated!  Make sure to tell all your friends and family to keep fighting the 2-A good fight.  You can scare them with the horror stories of NJ.  Tell them not to let their guard down and that their State could be the next NJ!

    How long ago were you stationed in the bible belt?  Things may have changed a lot down there since then?

    Give anything that's even somewhat questionable to a good friend or family member in a free State to hold for you.  Bring what you know 100% what jam you up.  There's numerous horror stories about regular law abiding citizens having their lives ruined by NJ's crazy firearms laws.  

    When you get here, find a nice deli or bagel joint near your new abode and order yourself a nice pork roll, egg and cheese on a roll with ketchup.  They are delicious!  And ignore anyone that tells you it's "Taylor Ham", egg and cheese.  Ain't nobody got time in their life for such ignorance and negativity!

    Hope you've found the answers to all your questions.  If not, continue asking!

    Let us know the general area you wind up in.  We have meets up some what frequently during the nicer months for things like clay shoots. 

    Good luck!

    Is the sliding and folding stock ban being challenged in NJ?  

    I realize things like magazine capacity are probably more important but I find the sliding stock ban to be one of the most idiotic laws ever.

    For arguments sake let's say a stock can slide into three different positions.  In NJ I can't own such a sliding stock.  BUT, i can own the same stock pinned and permanently welded in the three different lengths on three different rifles!  

    It makes ZERO sense.

    Coffee infused ten pack and a five pack of Java Reds.

    Cigarbiz had a smoking deal on the coffee infused.  Ten pack of different brands for $55 with "free" shipping.  The 2nd pack is for a buddy.  And it's been too long since I had any Java Reds so threw a five pack in there as well.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/01/25/energy-boom-renewables-fossil-fuels/

    "The best-kept secret in American politics today: Almost every kind of energy is booming.

    Oil, natural gas, renewables — production of nearly every major source of energy has recently touched all-time highs. In fact, production of each has roughly doubled since 2000.

    While U.S. crude oil production plummeted early in the pandemic and took time to recover, field production has reached new highs in the past few months, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reports. In September and October (the most recent months for which data is available), U.S. oil producers were pumping 13.2 to 13.3 million barrels per day, exceeding the pre-pandemic peak of 13 million in late 2019 under Trump.

    To put this in perspective, the United States is producing more oil than any other country in history."

     

    * (me) Just to be clear, this isn't intended to make Biden look good.  Oil is a global commodity that he or Trump, or any President, have very little control over. 

    They have SOME control over it.  Which most definitely effects production and therefore pricing.

    Biden's first day he immediately didn't renew leasing of federal lands to oil producers limiting the amount they could supply to meet demand.

    Now there is increased demand but a more limited supply.  Hence higher prices at the pump.

    Trump has already said that if he's elected he wants to "drill baby drill!" by opening those federal lands back up.  This will allow more supply which should eventually bring prices down.

    Presidents definetly have influence over oil prices.  They aren't THE determining factor but they can definetly nudge things in one direction or the other.

    Once the weather improves you'll have to come out for one of the clay shoots.  Meet a few people, try out a few different shotguns and bust some clays!  Always a good time.

    Cracked open a bottle of Henry McKenna Bottled In Bond 10 Year Old on Monday evening. 

    I spent close to 18 hours of the MLK Holiday weekend working on my car.  It was supposed to be a simply wheel bearing job.  Started around 2pm on Saturday.  While buttoning everything up on Saturday afternoon the CV axle decided it had enough.  It broke apart.  It was starting to get dark.  And I needed a new CV Axle.

    I was able to pick one up on Sunday morning after Church. I also rented some tools to pull the housing of the old CV axle out which was still attached to the transmission housing.  It was around 1pm and I set to work.  Got the old housing out, new CV Axle installed and buttoned everything up (again).  No gears and car would have rolled down my driveway while in Park because I had NO GEARS when tried moving it if not for the wheen chucks (also use wheel chucks!)  Was also making grinding noise when putting back in park.  I hadn't set the CV Axle into the transmission enough.  It was leaking transmission fluid from where the CV Axle goes into the transmission which was also a hint that it wasn't set enough.  It was dark again.

    Monday, at Noon I took everything apart (again).  Whacked the end of the CV Axle with a rubber mallet and LIGHTLY a few times with a small sledge hammer.  It looked set now (I hoped).  Went to button everything up.  The piston on the brake caliber wouldn't push back in for me to put in the brake pads and put it back on the rotor.  I made two trips to differenct stores to buy bigger and better tools to try to push the piston back in.  No luck.  That sucker was FROZEN (kinda like me sitting in my drivewary trying to fix this damn thing in 30, soon to be upper 20 degree weather when the sun went down).

     I should have stopped trying to push piston back in after wasting 1.5 hours!  I had one of my neighbors who is a REAL gear head and literally works for NASCAR take a look the piston.  He couldn't move it either and confirmed it was toast.  Ran out (again) to auto parts store.  Purchased a new brake caliber and brake pads.  I had destroyed one of the old pads using it to try to push the piston back in with first tool and then a large C-Clamp.

    Finally got it all put back together at 9pm on Monday evening.  This time it moved forward and reverse when put in gear and held in place once put into Park (with no grinding noises).  Also no leaking transmission fluid.  It had started to snow about two hours prior.  Took it for a quick test drive around a few local blocks.  Seems to be driving normally.

    I needed a drink.  Cracked up a bottle of Henry McKenna Bottled In Bond 10 Year.  I had a double.

    Will take it for a more complete test drive soon.

    They ask out of concern for the child's "safety".  It's nothing to do with lead poisoning.

    I would say most probably don't bother asking.  But some definitely do.

    If they do ask, I would look puzzled and simply ask "What does that have to do with our visit today?"  And if they persist simply say that you really aren't comfortable talking about such topics.  If they still persist simply tell them this will be your last visit.
