Did the houses "shelter in place"?

So no central anything, ok. Do you have any air conditioners? You can run those without the cooling, most have a "fan only" setting, and most also have a "recirculate" setting to not bring in outside air in the winter. Swap out the "standard" air filter it came with for one from the forced air type, even if you need to trim it to fit, and I believe you'll accomplish what you want. No A.C. units? There are stand-alone room filters, but most likely you'd need more than one, even with only 1,000 sq. ft. Shave the dog?

Okay squirrels, LOOK OUT!

I was gonna say we have our share of schmucks even here in Jersey. Too bad one got involved with a sale with a member here. (not to mention having it BE a member here). I'm okay with the idea of auctioning here, but I don't buy a lot, or often. I'd feel great about buying from members here in the event I was looking for something. I rarely have firearm related items to sell. Tools, now that might be another matter. We have sources here for that too in the marketplace, if I recall.

I think your 2 cents is really 22 cents! I've recently lost track of just how much .22 ammo I have laying around with my recent bargain hunting. Kinda got lost in the mess. But it's plenty.

Glorified BB gun, hmm,,,,,,, There are a multitude of .22 shooters who'd disagree, and a bunch of them have no discernible disability. Several "rimfire" forums out there are filled with shooters, even long distance ones. I think (but can't swear to it) more .22 ammunition is sold than any other, and I don't think (but again, can't swear to it) that's solely due to it's low cost. How about hunting? Picture taking down a squirrel, rabbit or other "small game" with a .223 or similar? Oooh, a new product category, the .50 caliber food processor! Minces and dices, purees grouse in an instant! To steal a quote from someone else on here, "just sayen".

Tell that bit about taking it with you to the Egyptian Pharaohs. To paraphrase Patton, "He who makes the OTHER guy die with less toys wins" !

"that looks cool you should get one. AND SHE MEANT IT." Tell her you have your replacement gent (ME!!! ) all picked out for her if you pass before her. As a widow, you'll want her well taken care of, and I'm just the guy to be there for her. P.S. Let her know I'll take good care of your gun collection too.

Anyone who can fill a safe in a year and keep going has WAY TOO MUCH spending money!!!

I know what you mean! I'm looking to get me a Mare's Leg for the same reason. Think back: Steve McQueen in "Wanted dead or alive" TV series, I think it was the 50's or 60's. So cool the way that thing got shot from the hip. B.S. I know, but,,,,,,,,sure seems fun.

Nice, put it out in the sun with some tanning lotion and it'll look better. It's not ugly, just different. Congrats on the new family addition!

Damm commies, I thought McCarthy got rid of 'em all! My kid has a Mosin too, and it has more kick than even the 12 gauge.

Judging from the "tactical lighting" count, at least it doesn't look like they are planning much in the way of night raids.

Our wunnerfil tax collectors are so well trained by our efficient systems that they only need 1 round per deadbeat. Ooops, I hope my wife didn't try to deduct my firearms training courses.

That's a serious benefit for sure!!

I'm using cordless tools professionally since the first 7.2 and 9 volt units came out. Back when Black and Decker was still it's own company, and Makita was a newbie here. So I have gotten a bit of practice, AND I'm a cheapskate who tries to only spend on quality because it's usually less expensive in the long run. As Pete mentioned, the battery pack can be rebuilt. If you don't want to bother doing it yourself, there's a joint in Jersey called "Batteries Plus Bulbs" in a number of locations, ( I know of East Brunswick, Green brook and Union) that sell (DUH!!) batteries and bulbs, and has lots of non-typical ones, but they also will rebuild your tool batteries, re-using your cases and putting in the new cells. Not cheap, but if you don't want the hassle it's available. Beats buying the tool AND new batteries. I bought some new cells there to rebuild my old style Paslode nailgun batteries, and they are holding up pretty well after 5 or so years. Milwaukee and Porter Cable are both good choices if you don't care for DeWalt. I have some of the Dewalt stuff myself, several Milwaukees and Porter Cable, and have zero negative thing to comment on either of them (except for the Porter Cable Bammer, but that's another story). Ryobi has several versions, the higher end stuff has gotten way better than originally. And it's pretty light weight. Good luck, you have a lot of guys here who know their stuff giving you good advice.

Congrats on the milestone. You remember Ralph Kramden's (Jackie Gleason) pretty common remark to Alice and Norton? "I GOT A BIIIG MOUTH!!"

I'm expecting the Democrats to demand a recount.

And I bet you couldn't be happier about it! Imagine putting up with him 24/7?

I found out that very same thing with my own muzzle brake. I went with a blast forward device and it made a real difference, tho it did reduce by a smidgen the brake benefit. Indian Creek had one that was pretty reasonable, and can pop on and off as desired. That's a real puuurty rifle there! Do I see a folding stock? Cool! (New Jerksey legal? dunno,,,,,)

Your first was a great beginner tool, IMHO. Henrys have a LOT going for them. Practical????????That ONLY works, at best, for the first few acquisitions. For the majority(I suspect)of us, it quickly gives way as we succumb to wishlists and drool-inducing new choices. Having said that, I see your list closely resembles my version of what's ideal, even if not in the same precise order. The difference between practical and preferred is difficult at times to discern.

Haven't seen the Scorpion yet but I believe you abut it. Inside or out, I'd be wearing hearing protection with most of what I shoot. After all my years working power tools, I have to save what's left.

Added reactions are a boon, thanks. I too, am on a laptop, using Chrome, and sometimes instead of going to the "newest unread post" my clicking on a thread goes right back to the first page, first post, even if I've already gotten to page 8 or similar. Not that big a deal, but a trifle inconvenient. I wouldn't put it high on the list of things to work on, not with all I imagine is involved in tweaking this stuff. I'm sure your plate is pretty full. Mine gets crowded just trying to READ the stuff here and a few other forums I like to peek in on. Let alone opening my big yap at times.

With BOTH a 995 TS, and a CX4 in the family, I assure you, they get more love than a $12 dollar an hour "courtesan" over here!

Okay, you are in the business. It seems clear to me that you know what you are talking about, so in this instance I hate you. (Dont'cha HATE being the messenger when it's bad news?) So much for finding another "loophole" , right? DRAT! Thanks for clearing up that issue for me.
