    First, set up a video camera.  Gather your facts/evidence over several days, keep a log of when they drive by.  Second, Talk to your neighbors about the problem and see who's on board. Third, write and send a letter to the owner of the company.  It's easy enough to find out who owns a company.  Fourth, wait for a response.  If the problem is solved, You are done.  If they don't reply, or tell you to go pound sand, then call the cops and sign a noise complaint. If your neighbors are on board (have a spine) have them submit their own separate complaints.  Next, go to a town council meeting and lodge your complaint there.  Lastly, if all else fails, get a lawyer to send them a letter of intent to sue because they are disrupting your business and causing economic harm.

    Beats me.  Depends on the size of the battery.  I'm going to pick up a 75AH deep cycle from Batteries Plus.  According to some stuff I've seen this thing only draws like 9.5 amps at peak draw for 1/4 second, then 2 amps for the rest of the cycle, which is about 2 seconds.  Doing the math it comes out to.... a lot of throws.

    I have a 1000 Amp 18Ah jump box, I'll bring it with me as a backup, just in case.

    It amazes me how much people think is actually gonna happen IF Murphy is elected.

    Well, Murphy has made it pretty clear that he intends to enact some new "common sense" laws once he's in office. 

     

    Ditching reloading because picking up brass is a bother is kinda lame.  There's a bunch of ways to manage spent brass with catchers, screens or a brass wizard and marking your brass. I can understand if you don't like reloading in general, don't have the time or space or any of a number of good reasons.  But picking up brass being too much of a hassle, c'mon.

    Weaver and Picatinny mounts can be found on newer 22s, especially on semi-autos, but also on newer 22 bolt guns like the Ruger American rimfire.

    Oops.  My bad.  Apparently Ruger went with the classic dovetail on the RA Rimfires.  A trivial detail to the OP but incorrect none the less.  However, this raises an opportunity to bring up another point.  Their Target model comes with a factory installed Picatinny mount that slips over the 3/8ths dovetail.  So, if you have a drawer full of Picatinny style rings, you can always get a dovetail to picatinny adapter.  The only caveat is that it will raise your scope by about 1/2 MOA, depending on the thickness of the adapter.  If you are using a scope with a big honking objective bell, it wont matter much.

    Many bolt action 22lr rifles have a 3/8ths dovetail scope mount milled into the receiver.  The Marlin 25/25N/25MN all have the dovetail.  Some 22 rifles, like my Marlin 39D, are tapped to mount an optional dovetail rail.

    3/8ths dovetail mounts and rings are usually referred to as rimfire or air rifle mounts and rings as they are the only rifles that still use that type of mount.  Weaver and Picatinny mounts can be found on newer 22s, especially on semi-autos, but also on newer 22 bolt guns like the Ruger American rimfire..  Do not confuse the newer style mounts with classic dovetails.

     

    Here is a link to Midway USA's rimfire and air rifle scope rings.

    Why do SOME landscapers with years of experience still do the mulch volcano?  It's indisputable that it's a major  No no but yet SOME still do.

    There, I fixed that for ya.  Even though your post has nothing to do with the OP, I took the time.  You're welcome.

    Rutgers has a pretty extensive list of plants rating (grading) their deer resistance A,B,C,D.

    As far as how late to plant.  You can pretty much plant any time the ground is workable.  It somewhat depends on what you are planting.  Generally, I don't plant trees or shrubs any later than November but have planted conifers in December.

     

    When plants go dormant in the fall, they concentrate energy into root growth.  As long as you plant 6 weeks before a deep freeze, you should be okay.  Just make sure you plant 'em right.

    Yeah I'll hold off on the rolling until springtime.  I'm going to aerate and slice.  

    You may not even need to roll.  It's not an automatic thing, case by case basis.  If you see lumps in your yard after the spring thaw, then roll it.

    I heard rolling lawns is bad - the dirt is very compacted already and rough.  Rolling wouldn't really do much, no?  I think have to aerate first so that it loosens everything up.

    I do have to fill in a lot of low spots and tire tracks.

    If your soil is compacted, rolling is the last thing you want to do.  You would only roll in the spring when the ground is soft.  Ice expands, right... If a lawn gets saturated with water from snow or rain, then freezes and thaws several times it causes heaving.  .I would only recommend rolling if your lawn becomes uneven after the winter.
