  1. Blue Mountain from Jamaica is really good, but costs a fortune unless you happen to be passing through Kingston for the duty free bags. But you really don't want to be in Kingston. Ever. The Maui k-cups are pretty good at home for the price, but Wawa has a good selection for a buck a cup (any size)/ The Ethiopia blend is really good there for a mid-range strength. But now you have to order a cup behind plexiglass and the selection is reduced for the time being.
  2. Dave, if my friend in state has a large amount of acreage where he shoots his own stuff in his yard (rural area), can I bring mine to his place legally? It isn't a licensed range as such, so I'm not sure if the transport to and from would fall under that category. But from the video, it doesn't appear that location is any different.
  3. My E430 has 2 per. What a nightmare getting to the rears on this V8. Actually my kids' but he is busy on his Xbox.
  4. Boeing laid off many of their best engineers and brought on "diversity" employees (per their own website) as a cost saving measure. Then the 737 Max was designed by guys who are better suited to riding bikes stocked with bananas. And of course the planes began to fall out of the sky. Literally. They blamed sensor problems, and the eyewitnesses reported that the damn planes split in half a mile before the crash site. And the luggage all over the countryside backs that up. No airline has placed much in the way of new plane orders lately because they know the situation. Boeing getting to Mars is on par with hitting a 750 yard hole in one while sitting in a wheelchair.
  5. My BIL special ordered an Uberti six-shooter a couple of years back. I tell ya it was the smoothest cannon at the range...and painted bright red. I am more of a Beretta 92FS myself, but everyone have their own favorites. I am nervous around Glocks because most of them have no safety. Probably why Plaxico shot himself in the thigh. Just a theory.
  6. Yeah, sometimes you just want it fast as well. Especially now with Amazon prime taking almost a week to deliver some items because they are getting swamped.
  7. Right, it has been a few years, but yes, she had the S with the Miller cycle. I don't know why I said rotary. Too many quaaludes. It was a good car. Had the fancy chrome rims. Original list price was over 45 grand, but apparently Madaz learned quickly that it was not going to compete with the lux segment as they thought and so dropped the ask price close to 30k. I recall us rolling up to a friends' house a week after she bought it, and his ex-wife commented "That a sharp-looking Sentra" Lol! She has mentioned recently getting another Mazda but I have my doubts how they are doing these days. I heard from mechs that the CX-5 was a good build. Not to my taste, as I do extreme beach running with a ton of fishing gear, but she just drives to work, And by extreme I mean I get stuck in the rising surf and have to have 3 rigs tow me out after I get buried up to the frame...in the middle of the night...with the tide lapping on the passenger side. But hey, you only live once.
  8. Yeah, Rock needs to hire a new ad agency, But they used to sponsor a website I owned. No money changed hands, but they would give a 20% coupon code to any of my members. I ordered some stuff I needed for my car from them, and it was identical to my own OEM parts that I used to obtain, but half the price. lol! That site is long gone because I lost interest in hosting a forum as a hobby, but their regular pricing is as good as a dealer wholesale price, which nobody gets unless you own a shop spending six figures a year on parts delivery..
  9. They look OK, but I don't see pricing. Easiest way to order on rockauto.com - Akebono pads, Brembo rotors but really any will do. Stay away from slotted as they just eat the pads if you are not tracking the car. Cross-drilled is fine. I used to source parts for import cars as a hobby. I have sent out $4000 sets of rotors, so I have some experience there. I don't do itany longer since my business contact died, but I use rock for my kids' car parts with never any issue.
  10. I had that on my old mercedes. I agree it is probably a misfire, but when my engine and trans mounts just got too old and sagged, the thing ran like you described. 3 new mounting bushings later, I was good to go (less $500 for labor of course). That might be a n easy DIY job, but my car repair skills have gone down the drain since all the computer-controlled bits have taken over. My mechanic spent 5 grand on one bit of software to diagnose the cars so he knew what to repair. I would offer to lend my scan tool, but you can use one for free at Autozone, as Cap mentioned. It's a good tool to buy for the long term though. Even the cheap ones on Amazon will give you a good overview. I assume the 3 does not have the rotary engine. My wife bought a Millenia some years ago, and nobody could work on it because that Wankel engine was a mystery even to some of the techs at the Mazda dealer.
  11. Why does a billionaire not have a good dentist? Or in Zuckerbergs' case, a half decent hair stylist?
  12. Naw, somebody faked a circuit board with a virus label and everyone spread it out.
  13. Here is one for your amusement... The distancing is designed to keep everyone far apart enough so that the 5G system can identify you. Closer than that and it doesn't work that well. And yes, I watch too many David Icke videos.
  14. I hate to be so damn right all the time.
  15. I heard the lady in Texas who opened her hair salon and got arrested last week or so now has a half million in donations. The libs cried out that she was in it for the money, and then she said she was giving it all to charity and they shut up and went back to their bat caves.
  16. Friend of mine who lives near the Poconos gets a half cow each summer. I think the rancher does the butchering too. I can give him a call if you are interested. Not sure what it costs. He is about 30 miles north of where route 78 crosses the river, just for reference.
  17. I was out on the patio last night around midnight. I heard some rustling in the bushes. It was either a racoon or the virus. I'm pretty sure it was the virus. It floated over to the neighbors yard after a minute because I was wearing my short shorts and Def Leppard half-shirt. So the curfew is for a good reason. It is out there at night, just waiting for a new victim.

    WTS Pallets

    I could use a few for firewood, but I can't fit very many in my Jeep. Would be quite a drive just for 3 or 4 of them.
  19. Lol, none of the people stocking the shelves at the store ever wash their hands. Take my word for it. But yes, anyone using a bench or machine at my local gym does a courtesy spray and wipe when they are done. Thats why there are spray bottles and paper towels all over the place (before the virus hoax was even launched). So you are dead wrong twice in the same post. Kudos! ButI would bet you have never actually been inside a gym in your lifetime unless there was a glory hole involved.
  20. I think it was Jack who mocked me for trying corn. I went to the local nursery for my usual tomato plants as more of a hobby. They had little corn plant shoots for sale so I bought about 5 of them at a buck and a half each. 2 months later, I had 5 dismal ears of corn. Found out they need mass plantings close together to grow properly. Now I just go to the farm and spend 50 cents and be done with it, lol. Agriculture is not my strong suite apparently. Or spelling. Or anything.
  21. If they would send 30 SWAT team members fully geared up in armored trucks to pick up an old guy in his bathrobe (Roger Stone), I wouldn't be at all surprised that a gym owner would be subject to red dots from sniper scopes dancing on his chest. Can't let the rest of the prawns get the wrong idea. Put your mask back on!!
  22. From what I have seen on the interwebs, those 5G boxes burn up real good too. All that insulation they use makes them a tinder box. Super Soaker filled with gas, or so I have heard.
