Happy Birthday.

Anyway, my 12 year old electric water heater moved on to another plane last night, and I had to replace it. Not any real big deal, but I discovered sharkbite plumbing fittings. Friggin' magic. I had to relocate and replace a shutoff valve, and use some flex hose for the water, and these things are great. Push them on... that's it. No sweating, no twisting, no nuttin'. Just push them on over the pipe, and they're secure. No leaks, no drama, and they come right off if I want them to. They work on copper, PVC, and flexible line. Very cool stuff. Sharkbite Fittings

Greetings and welcome.

Welcome to the group.

Walmart has a decent stud mounted bipod for somewhere around 30 bucks. It works really well on my Remington 597, but I had to drill in a sling stud to mount it on.

A few observations on the unlikelihood of large scale trafficking conspiracies, irrespective of what the antis think. The Myth of Big-Time Gun Trafficking

According to CNN Morning News, the world didn't end yesterday.

I wanted to say that I don't understand why there aren't 10 places like that in NJ, but unfortunately, I do. Sucks.

The world ended. Film at 11.

If the world doesn't end today, I'm thinking about taking a couple of hours tomorrow for some clays. Anyone else?

I'll probably pick up another pack or two to keep around. They look like they'll be good to keep in the cars and the camera bags.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought-- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! and through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe That gave my spellchecker a stroke.

Mazel Tov and congratulations. Pretty name.

Lynn went to Costco today, spent a crapload of money, but that's another story. She came home with a nice 3 pack of 150 lumen LED flashlights. Aluminum housing, low, high and strobe settings, weather resistant seals, all for 20 bucks. Not high end lights, but nice for the price.

It's all Greeking to me.

67gtonut just had his M&P done. I'm pretty sure he sent it out for the work. If you can't find a local shop to do it, ask him where he had his done. He's pretty satisfied with the results.

Apparently, they also made some progress banning unloaded open carry. The antis must be creaming their jeans with the news. Calif. Assembly bans open carry of unloaded guns

I like that part. A slap down to judges who use "judicial discretion" to legislate from the bench and support their own beliefs and agendas, even if it means ignoring the law they're considering.

Thanks. Every couple of months I find some obscure quote and change the sig. This one's soon due for a change. As to Sparta, I usually post when I'm planning to go. A few of the northern guys show up from time to time, and sometimes not. I've been there when I was the only one on the trap field. Mostly, the skeet field is busy, while the trap field is very underutilized. I like turning people on to the place. It keeps the trap field earning some coin for them, and I really hate shooting alone. ETA: My apologies for taking this thread off track.

Sparta Trap and Skeet Club. Very much under the radar. This old thread pretty much has the best information, except that it's 5 bucks a round now, not 4.

Off 517, but closer to Ogdensburg. Just past the Rt. 15 interchange.

You're up near me. There's a real trap range in Sparta. Kid friendly, too. You should check it out sometime.

I'm busy for a day, and this happens I've been trying to maintain my composure, and be one of the adults here, but this is over the line. It may be that I'm a Jew, and that my family has a history under Fascism, but are you Fcuking serious??? This is America, and in America, I'm not required to show anything simply on demand of authority. You're saying that if I'm quietly walking down the street, it's okay for a cop to come over and ask to see my ID without any reason whatsoever? Are you insane? This is the reason the educational system frightens me more every day. This is the kind of indoctrination that our children are bombarded with when they're outside the home. "We're from the government, and we care about you. Simply comply, and all will be well". Yeah, until they start filling up the boxcars and disappearing anyone who dares resist the benevolent and loving government. I don't blame you for your perspective. You're a product of your education and environment. I do, however, question you stubbornly sticking to your argument, repeating the same absurd dogma, in light of so much actual information to the contrary. Even from at least one of your very own peers, and certainly from any number of people who are obviously better versed in the actual law than you are. You are a jackbooted Fascist thug, and if you are representative of the quality and caliber of people entering Law Enforcement, I fear for the future of our freedoms and of our country. And additionally, is completely wrong, and at the very least, as a LEO participating on a firearms forum, you should take the time to actually learn the friggin' laws.
