Quit holding out.. who is it with he primers? +1 is this dealer local?

Greeting from Toms River and welcome to the forum. I grew up in the Oranges and student taught at the old West Orange High School.

That's great! We're all waiting to hear.

welcome to the forum!

Wow, 5 feet? We only get about 5 inches of tide normally in Brick and Toms River

Inglorious Basterds! Back on topic a bit, Tony, did the water ever blow back in? I could not believe how high and dry those boats were. How much water is there normally in that area, it does not seem like there could be very much.

In today's world, all a kid has to do is say he is going to do something and he can be arrested. One student was a competition shooter and the guns were his dad's. The other student (from a neighboring catholic High School) was reported to have in his possession ammo and other items but his family knew nothing about it (so that can't say it was his father's stuff). This all happened in the town right next to the one I lived in and taught at for 35 years. As an aside, I had an FBI agent come into my classroom and ask where "John Smith" (not his real name) sat and had me remove the hard drive from his computer and give it to him. Since I was also the District Technology Technician, I also had to give them a copy of all the files that were in his account on the school server. They pulled the kid (a freshman at the time) out of school that day and he never came back. It was like he never existed! Of course, because of my position, I knew what he was pulled out for and while I can not disclose details, I can say that it was all over a "vague threat made against another student in an email".

Very nice! Congrats on a great find!

That ATI stock look very similar to my Storm

Well, since this topic had already fallen apart, I just want to say what a pleasure it was to meet Mrs. Chad the other night at BA. Oh yeah, and Garlic kills me for some reason, s#cks getting old as I used to be able to eat anything

Yep, unless you have lots of money, it is not going to happen!

Wow, love that little S&W you just got!

Wow, that s#cks! I was stuck for 30+ minutes on the GSP on Saturday with a bad accident a 145. Why are there always so many accidents in that spot? I hate going up north anymore! Yesterday my son was down so I took him to BA and he shot my new 870 and loved it, them we plinked through half a brick of .22. Place was only half full, had a great time.

I think it is a combination of Geography, Work Ethic and History. Since we have moved out of the cities and into more suburban neighborhoods, it is difficult for most minors to get back and forth to a job. Paper routes are so spread out that it is not practical for most to walk a route, so almost all newspapers have gone to motor routes. Many employers have been burned by hiring young kids who call out for every little thing or are pulled out of work because their parents want to take them someplace and the employer is left holding the bag.

+1 Tim, I forgot about that! I have literally been working since I was 13.

Tim, I agree that there is not enough room here to explain it all but I will give you my personal quick take from 35 years of teaching at an upper scale, NJ top 100, Blue Ribbon High School. Again, this is my perspective from my personal experiences, so if I offend anyone here, that means I am referring to you. Today's kids lack discipline, it has to start in the home. Rich kids are the worse, most of these people have very little input into the daily lives of their lives. Either they are both at work, away on a trip or just leave it to the nanny. They send their kids off to school and expect the teachers to not only educate their kids, but baby sit and discipline them. By the time they get to school, it is way too late to do this, they have to be taught discipline, rules and respect from infancy. Now we have a bunch of spoiled, filthy mouth kids who have no respect for authority. If you tell them to do something, they tell you to go f#ck yourself, and the administration will no longer back the teachers because they are afraid of law suits. When I started teaching, my kids in class were good. They followed the rules, respected the teachers and their peers. I loved going to school every day and the kids loved coming to my classes. My enrollments were overflowing and I always had a waiting list. By the time I retired, it was all gone. I left loving teaching but hating the atmosphere. As soon as I was eligible to get out with my full pension, I bailed.

And now, all morning they have been talking about the planned "Columbine Event" planned for Bridgewater-Raritan (the high school in the town right net to where I worked), where there were two students who were building bombs to use on Monday.

Holy crap Tom, that thing is gorgeous! :shock: I am very envious :shifty:

Or, buy patten leather dress shoes?

+100 Then the bite swells and itches like crazy! Worse than 100 mosquito bites!

Fastened to the Target somehow? Maybe duct taped to the upright? Great shooting Tom, VERY impressive! When I was a kid, we would tape pennies to the rail road track and then try to find them after the train ran over them. The few we found were very thin and squished. :shock:

Nice guns! That Beretta looks sweet!

Went up the Mullica River years ago to eat at the Sweetwater Casino (before it burned down) and the whole Bimini Top was covered in Green Heads. We were covered in Skin So Soft so they were not biting but it was still awful!

Welcome to the forum from Toms River!

Yeah, I think you are right!
