Wow...thats awesome doc...can't get much fresher than that !!! Years ago, I used to catch flounder off the coast, and grill it right on the boat, wasn't out of the water more than 5 mins. Before it was illegal of course. :mrgreen:

MEEEEE??? Derail a thread???? NEVER! lol What are the tweezers used for? (besides when matt has to go peepee)

That only works if with the senior citizens!!! :shock:

haha I like that.

Abolutely...almost every victim of this always says, "I live in such a good neighborhood" or "nothing like this happens here". You'll even here, "no criminals live around here"...guess what, they dont have to live near you. Just like we commute to work, they commute as well. They prefer to do things away from their home turf. Less chance witnesses will recognize them, less chance of the victim bumping into them in the street, etc. Very good decision to leave the mossberg close by. It is unfortunate that homeowners are forced to be on the defensive, but we are left with no choice. Others choose to depend on the police. Police are not there to stop crime like alot of people think. Police respond to the crime after the fact (after they are called) On some rare occasions, or happenstance, the police will interrupt a crime. On even more rare occasions the homeowner is able to make a 9-1-1 call while the burglar is still inside their house, but those calls are few and far between, although it does happen.

It is a combination of my quick witted charming comments, my devistatingly good looks, and my incredible physique. Do not worry my boy, I will school you if you so desire.

Ron, you can probably use it for that also. lol Here are a few articles that cover this process in detail. . . this one uses a flashlight for power here is some more info here is another one with batteries I just took an old cell phone charger with the same output as a couple of batteries and put alligator clips on both ends. The metal rods are available at home depot or lowes or most hobby shops, they call it piano wire. Once the solution is filled to the top of the bbl, and the thing is plugged in, you'll be amazed at how much black / brown gunk comes out of the bbl (even after you just cleaned it with brushes and patches) , it starts foaming and stuff, its pretty cool.

ME??? how dare you!!! lmao You must not realize what a ladys man I truly am!!!!

You are manly alright, in fact, I think I saw two little chest hairs popping out in one of your pics, looked like a little pigs tail. How sexy!!! PS, why do you and I always turn threads around??? This is your fault. :oops:

GREAT question...I'm curious about this as well.

Whatever! hahaha you're not my type anyway!!!!

Cmon dude...you of all people KNOW im not normal! lol

Cmon matt...take me out for lobster dinner...it will be our first date

If you are generally concerned about someone cutting the lines, which is fairly common by the way, install a radio backup. It sends a signal to central monitoring thru radio signal, and bypasses the phone line. You can also have it trigger the alarm if the phone line is cut. Works great. I am NOT a LEO, just giving my two cents, so take it for what its worth IMO, the hidden in plain sight idea comes to mind here with regards to the SG above the closet door. Is it a walk-in closet? Or just a coat type closet? Many people store valuables in closets, jewelry, safes, etc. Robbers know this. If it is a walk in closet, I wold think they would spend some time in there looking for such. Upon walking out, they would probably notice the SG. If it is a linnen / coat closet, and they just peek their head in to look around, I dont think they would notice the gun. Again, this is just my $.02 Ever consider something like this?

DJG, what do you use the tweezers for? Maybe I should add them to my kit?? Ron, allow me to add: an old cell phone charger with aligator clips, a metal rod, and some heat shrink tubing. Works incredibly well for stubborn .22 lr lead.

I bet the price on his used old books will go from $300 down to $2.00 now that there is an updated version available. Shouldda sold mine while I could.

ok, NOW I'm salvating! I haven't had lobster in forever!!!!

Its not sheet metal, its powder coated steel, if it were sheet metal yes, we would have gotten ripped off. As for the insulation for heating cooling, its that triple thick grey soud proof stuff...it was over two feet thick when installed. The duct work is not finished yet. We have a 2.5 ton unit for two offices (because my father and I are always hot) and a seperate 2.5 ton unit for the other building on a seperate climate control because the girls always complain they are cold. Heated floors throughout for radiant heat. Oh and those pipes will all be covered...remember this building is still under construction lol. Nowhere near finished. Not to worry about us getting ripped off matt...not our first time around the block. We've build many buildings.

That black metal was almost double the price of copper....copper is outdated, old school, and gaudy imo, and turns green after a year.

Hamilton, Bermuda - UK Yes, I'm aware of their gun rights.

Its probably one page, one sentence...,"Move out of NJ"

I figgured you enjoy looking at construction pics. The crown moulding is going to be all handcrafted wood, the round corners are going to be wood also the woodworker said he can do it?? Supposedly its put in some kind of a steam oven and SLOWLY bent to the correct shape. And yes, the stone guys were amazingly fast...few days and it was done. Absolutely incredible. The front will be nice once its complete, it still looks very unfinished, once its done it will all come together. The inside is going smoothly, tile (natural limestone, and imported italian marble and imported granite) work started today, as did the paint, this is the part I really enjoy. Yipeeee!!!! Its amazing to watch these guys work, its a real talent.... Next project starts in a few weeks :roll:

Here are some more photos for you matt...check out the rounded corners in the hallways...they even make crown mouldings for that now! The stonework is almost done on the outside, those guys did that rock by rock, it was incredible, I never would have the patience to do that. lol http://s1020.photobucket.com/albums/af330/33east/

Original Story HERE Just remember guys, these are just the ones that actually make the papers. There are many that dont. Actually more times than not, they do not make the paper / news . Armed men rob 3, kidnap 1, in Jackson home invasion

lol...thanks everyone! And don't worry caine, I NEVER forget...especially when someone owes me food!
