Thank god for global warming!
Right. The 150 or so years we have been recording temperatures are an insignificant statistic, there is not enough data to come to any intelligent conclusions.

Thank god for global warming!
I find it very arrogant that men think they can effect the climate on this planet so adversely by industrization. The naturally occurring events in the cosmos have put this planet through FAR worse than mankind could ever dream of doing. This planet, and the cosmos, will kill mankind and every being on the planet LONG before mankind develops the capability of doing so.

LOTTERY - WHO WOULD STAY IN NJ
Hell, I can't get out of Jersey fast enough as it is.....even a smallish lotto score would send our plans to vacate into hyperdrive!! Already have the ranch in the middle of nowhere.....just want enough to comfortably retire there.

Texas...so far
Spring G&A is one of the others I was trying to think of. One of my co-workers and I go there when I'm in town. He has a few cool NFA toys we play with there. Damn, I can't wait to move back to Tx!!

Magnawing, I failed to mention the most important thing...where is the nearest range. Yeah, I know....how could I forget that?? I like Carters Country out on FM1960. Check out the extensive trophy room. Bill Carter is quite the hunter, and has taken game from all parts of the world. CC has an extensive firearms inventory, and on site gunsmiths. The range is well run, and the RSO's run a tight ship. There are other ranges in the area, but CC is the one my dad and I go to prior to deer season to check zero (dad lives nearby). Check it out, I think you'll like that place.

The Gooses Acre is a great Irish pub on Main St in the Woodlands. Check it out. Main St. is a very nice, upscale area with great restaurants. Pubs, entertainment, and nice shopping. You have probably never heard of a kolache, but stop into the Kolache Factory in th Woodlands and order some. Ham or sausage with cheese, rolled up into a slightly sweet bread and baked. They are delicious!!!!!

Shadow box definitely works well!! Many years ago, I had my .mil career awards put in a shadow box. It's at my dad's place in Tx. One of these days, I'll bring it back here, but for now, it resides in his office. My lovely wife just ran across my old Cub Scout uniform and had it made into a shadow box for me. Touched me deeply. I believe she went to AC Moore and had it done. It's lovely! You are doing a wonderful thing for him. Thank him for his service for me, please sir.

Looks like snow...
I'm originally a Texas boy, so I don't get the milk, bread, and eggs thing either. What are y'all doing, making French toast? My wife, (a south Jersey girl), usually elbows me in the ribs when I ask that question, but she doesn't have an answer either!

Front Brake Pads - Resurface Rotor and replace pads - costs ?
I have old Craftsman tools, from when they were made in USA (I'm an old bastard though). For the home mechanic doing occasional auto repair/maintenance, I don't think you need Snap-On, or Mac, anything like that. Husky will do nicely. Maybe you can find an old USA made set of Craftsman mechanics tools at a yard sale or on Craigslist.

Help choosing a sling
I use the 1/2 point convertible slings by Tactical Link, and the Z360 sling mounts. Not cheap, but excellent quality gear. I agree with H.E., almost no use for single point mode. I played with it for quite awhile but found that 2 point mode is the way to go.

Universal Remote
I use a Harmony. Not overly expensive, easy to program. There are several iPhone/Android apps for this as well.
