Oh sure we had coffee and not just the MRE kind. But we got it from the DFAC. That was just one type of coffee over and over again. The best thing about the coffee press was, now my mom could send me all sorts of different types of coffee beans and so could anyone else that was interested in sending me something. Lots of people I know and my mother were very happy to send me what they thought would be a very tasty coffee bean. It was really good, to be honest. Candy always seemed to be present there. I was never in Afghanistan but in Iraq it was very hot in the summer months. If you were to send candy it should only be the hard type. Honestly, I can't say one way or the other about candy. I don't think I would send any, but other people would really appreciate it I'm sure. I just can't really address that question. Same with cigarettes, I don't smoke cigarettes and don't know what if any issues were there. Chewing tobacco, on the other hand, seemed very popular. One other thing that always seems to be in demand are those mach three razors. Everybody seems to run out of those. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When i was there the guys at J&r cigar would personally walk to the post office and hand write the customs forms and would leave notes of appreciation. I would order online. In fact i got my full appreciation of cigars from J&r and all they did to happily send them over to is. Other than that, the best thing anyone ever sent us was a giant box full of double stuffed Oreos. We all had mini fridge's in our CHU's and those were AWESOME! Just open the fridge and eat one. Good times. Last would be the coffee press my mom sent me. After that arrived we got all kinds of local coffee and got friends to send coffee. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a LCR in .357 magnum. I feel my options are nearly limitless with it. Great trigger feel. Sights leave a little to be desired but there are after market things you can add to it. Also comes in a crimson trace model. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

If they are thinking about blowing their brains out none of the above is going to be considered. As in; all they want is a gun and a bullet. You and the ongoing struggle in NJ do not exist. The mindset of "well fine you are good to go to shoot yourself in the head but at least take a minute to be considerate of how it affects me(someone you don't know)" is incredibly unrealistic.

And the answer is, class 13c waste. To be disposed of in the same manner as demolition debris. Easy. Thanks everyone. I am glad you all could help me out with this. Funny how a gun forum can be a great go to for all your needs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Personally I think the greatest loss over the last twenty years is the lessons of being an adult - what it really means, how tough it can be and how to impart that to children. I know plenty of forty year olds that can't behave at their own job let alone teach their kids how to hold a job or God forbid, inspire and mentor someone.

Thanks, i skipped this earlier. What kind of removal did they require? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Thanks. The reply's are bullet proof in their logic. Although my iPhone...., being clear and having the time time type out everything I am thinking are at odds. So to be clear, I can just throw this in the garbage without fear of a ticket? Also, if I left it in place and a future inspection when I get ready to sell found it would it be an epa issue like a buried oil tank pipe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Was standing room only from what they report. Thanks for thinking about it though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Dupe

Well the house was built in the 30's so I guess it is original. I gotta tell ya, it smells so much of petroleum that I was wondering if there is an EPA procedure for its removal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

What would it be configured like? Downspouts to the street or something? What is orange burg? Now I need to know 'cuz all the neighbors have been polled and are curious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Chopping out roots and stumps today, i had everything I was aware of marked such as my ground wires and rods. Hit this thing with a pick axe. It is a fibrous pipe similar in composition to a roofing shingle I would say, and it smells like it is impregnated with petroleum. Actually smells like gasoline to be honest. I can't see that there is any kind of fluid going through this but the dirt that got into it when it opened up might be hiding something. It doesn't go out to the street but it haven't found if it connects to anything. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Somehow reminds me of the time I went to a paintball "big game". I didn't want to run around in my ACU's like a dickhead but I expected to great very dirty. So I wore my old, Army issue, olive drab coveralls complete with name tags, unit patch and American flag worn as per the regs. My Corcorans were desert tan and, not wanting ticks to climb up into my ballsack, I tucked the pant legs into the boots. It was memorial Day weekend so a lot of guys were dressed up. HO -LEE shee-it if there weren't guys in ghillie suits and markers in the shape of Ak's, M-4's and one guy with a HK-91 replica (!). When I play I go to have fun. I aggressively move forwards and this big game you had this time-out tent so you didn't have to wait too long to restart. Because of this I took to trying to set up all kinds of movie scenes, in particular, Elias' death from Platoon. So the refs are all done up in red paintball attire and their friends look the same but have chrome markers. They are laying the grounds rules and after lunch the guy in red skater boy paintball attire says "and my boys LOOOVE to take out you cammo wearing dudes. I think it's kinda silly, but nothing beats SEAL team Six over here!" Looking right at me. Me and my deployment buddies are choking. I've got oil stains on the knees from changing HMMWV oil every freakin month at drill. Okay, whatever. I guess i'm the ninja. Lolz. Thing is, I'm deployment fit- two points shy of a PT badge at 41 years old (F****' 2 mile run) and I want to play Rambo with paintball for goofs. Well I gotta tell ya, I rolled over everyone! No joke, that guy saying SEAL team six and me being a silly dramatic dick kicked ass! People believed it. I was telling them "shoot me! Wtf is wrong with you?" Brrrrap! With my $120 SP1 and my "shoulda thrown it out" coveralls. All anyone said was they saw me running and taking out bunkers left and right, but the guys in that time out tent were like "you again? You like getting murdered don't you?" Lol. Paintball makes for good times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Ah, your right. I am pretty sure has has a booth as well though. (Edit) it is a pre premier introduction. http://www.fathersofthedarkknight.com/

Roger that, and BTW I was range safety in the Army. So, yell at me for nothing and you get no more of my money. I got no time for group think like that. But lets not stifle dissenting opinions on our experiences. I get the importance of CR, but if the management is ignoring the voices of willing,volunteering adults, some with a great long history of range safety, by writing them off as children - I think you can see the problem. I haven't renewed either. Not likely to again unless something changes. But I will always reserve my right to my opinion. Adults can deal with that too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Do me a favor and check this booth out? Friend of of mine is putting a lot of time and energy to put this together. http://nycc13.mapyourshow.com/5_0/sessions/sessiondetails.cfm?ScheduledSessionID=18ABC7C7 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Oh yea, that was Yelling. No doubt. Seeing it happen to others is also one thing, but when it happens to you and you have no idea why and the explanation seems to be made up on the spot, it's time to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Ya, pretty quiet eh? I am hoping that doesn't mean no one gives a crap. I'll put the vote info in the next post. I'll be spammin' for safety! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

A some of you may have heard, my company and idea for motorcycle awareness is a finalist for a grant from Allstate Motorcycle. But for you guys, I had to share this. Poking around the Allstate website I found this tip sheet about safe rooms and how to build one. Personally I am not so much happy to have been selected as a finalist for a grant, but I am ecstatic that it is Allstate. http://blog.allstate.com/safe-room-the-ultimate-secure-shelter-infographic/ Don't forget to vote for Count Motorcycles at the Allstate Motorcycle Good Rides Grant Facebook page. You can vote every day. If we don't win it is all your fault. https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/AllstateMotorcycle/app_406279206147101

I haven't done many in the area but I have done this. The whole raptor thing makes it very interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Thank you! With all this reaction to the video out today I am getting a little buried in my riding friends' newsfeeds. I really appreciate you going ahead and giving me this kind of support. If I win this grant it will be money well spent for every rider's safety.

Great timing right? Govt. shutdown and of course the d'bags and that SUV. Such is my life....
