1 1/2 yrs in FL, same here.....

Excellent point on the crates. I've been utilizing them for 40+ yrs. Great storage option, minimal footprint if space is an issue as they stack as high as practical for you. You can reasonably see the contents and they get good airflow for ventilation . They also make great building blocks, use solo as a seat, throw a plank or pc of plywood on top you have a bench or table....just keep in mind there's a difference between the heavy duty old school real ones vs some of the newer "designer" ones. And as Sota referred to they can get heavy so mind that. I had 40 of them prior to my move but not for food more of an industrial use, practcaly indestructible.

https://cleancutbath.com/shop/ yea your tub is cosmetically challenged but for a sub $500 DIY kit....just sayin....no plumbing, no loss of bathroom use no mess or permits...wham bam done. OK, I'll shut up now.

Forum probly got too off topic. Let's be honest, it's heavy on politics, culture wars, pandemic, pepper stuff.....some folk may not want to see all that on their gun forum.

Re-thinking is your best strategy! Keep the brain's on button always on lol. Also, if your home is your castle think of your car as an outpost. It's your portable safe space when out in the wilds of the world and should have its own little go bag type supplies.

We always have lots of cash on hand. That includes stashed in our vehicles well hidden. You never know where you'll be in a power crisis and plastic won't work. Also a good idea is have plenty small bills, making change and breaking large bills can be problematic in those cases.

OK makes sense. I'll just suggest that you consider losing the curb and keeping a flush floor entry.. Can be a trip hazard and impede any walking aides such as a rolling walker, just for future considerations. Of course that usually means a custom mud/tile job vs a drop in fiberglass type.

Did you check out a conversion kit? It takes out a side section of the tub and is finished with some trim. Result is a walk in, don't have to touch any plumbing, save bigbucks and probly do it yourself.

I was not too concerned about any warranty once I knew it wasnt a clunker and worked fine after several runs. My concern was to have emergency power and to optimize that power source with a tri fuel converter. So there, warranty gone anyway. That was my priority,, not on getting my money back.. Go big or go home lol. I don’t even know how long a warranty is, 90 days, 2 yrs....whatever. back then a factory duel/tri fuel portable gen was a rare bird especially after Sandy.

Yea, was debating how to express this topic so decided to keep it simple. On my gen not much of a mod, just loosen a nut, jump wire over 1/2" to another one and that's it. Five minutes procedure, easily reversed which I did as it is a stand alone now.

Better yet, and depending on ones own logistics is natural gas. That was my primary fuel source and I don't ever recall that power supply shutting down. Now it's propane, much easier to deal with over gasoline, which I hope I'll never need as I don't even store it. Actually haven't used it since the initial genny break in. Cleaned up the carb after that, cycle a bit of stabilizer but no mo gas.

Have a talk with your electrician about your gennys neutral wire and whether it is bonded (connected) or floating (disconnected) and how it should relate to the main panel when running live.

SWEENEY 2025 ! Lol “Not one of those bills addresses it,” Sweeney said Monday. “I’m tired of passing bills that are feel-good that do not do anything about the crime on the streets. It’s out of control. Where’s the war on illegal guns to actually crack down on these people

We have 2016 CX5, more my wife's car. I tease her that it's a waste on her lol, that car is way to peppy and agile for her style of driving. For what it is it's pretty quick ,handles great and is designed for sportier driving. Also it's very safe, at least for us. This is our second one as the first 2015 was totaled after an ahole ran a Red light and and did a 50mph header at an intersection. Wife and her sister sustained only seatbelt injuriis and minor at that. Took ins money and got the current 2016. Back seats can be a bit tight getting in/ out and I'm not fond of the overall cockpit feel but all in it's a great vehicle.

Not on you, but I call bullshit on that. Then why even collect all that (very usefull) info. That statute is probably even more susceptible to abuse than our Constitution. I find it very unlikely, especially now that it's known that we have an abusive and toxic 4th branch of govt that has no issues doing covert and illegal "monitoring" of whoever they want.

In 2012 I bought a 2013 Taco for $26,600. Traded it in this past summer for a value of $23,000. Got a new 2021 Upgraded Taco for $8,000 out of pocket. What's even cooler is in FL that 23K if applied to a trade in is state sales tax free.

Of course they want work the market. Especially when you get a heads up on laws/regulations that can affect the future algorithms.

CZ mags too. A P07 mag typically is $40+ and I dbled that on one after putting a extension on for a 20rd cap. Funny because I recently grabbed a few 30 rd mags on sale for my CX4 that were $26 / free ship. They also fit my 92, one day will load it with a 30, awkward but am curious to how it will shoot with the extra initail weight. More accurate follow ups by absorbing recoil or less accurate because of an imbalance. Inquiring minds want to know.

Let's see, My small stable of full size 9's all sport 20 rd mags now. The CX4 is on standby also with a 30 rd mag and 2- 20's packed on the stock. The 556's are loaded with 30 rds of greentips and I've divested myself of all things 7.62x54. The only new gun is on order, an lcp max that will replace my lcp2 pocket carry. I did take an hr ride to look at a Plainfeild M1 carbine but too much pitting, light rust and the wood was eh so I passed, so close! They've all got so pricy too.. I would've made a play for it if it was nicer.. Also the local indoor range is very nice and inexpensive. I prefer outdoor and there is one almost an hr away. It's OK but I really miss my old ground at Cherry Ridge!

It's just the depletion of the ozone layer but never fear,the democrats are about to fix that in a few weeks. with the bills they are passing.

20 mins to get special order Whoppers at lunch today.

Wtf is it with this site? Way too normal to have loading issues during the bulk of AM.

Not sure if you're being 2A specific or generally speaking, either way it's true. NJ has become such a hostile oppressive state. Will refrain from typical rant....

Like this guy? https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/11/07/senator-rick-scott-says-he-will-support-lisa-murkowski-reelection-and-hopes-to-work-with-democrats-in-a-republican-majority-senate/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=senator-rick-scott-says-he-will-support-lisa-murkowski-reelection-and-hopes-to-work-with-democrats-in-a-republican-majority-senate. Rinos and lobbying are issues everywhere, like I said FL not perfect but where is. However it all starts at the voting booth and at least that's tracking in the right direction. Having said that we still can't assume and must remain vigilant.

I disagree and believe FL is turning redder every day. Guess what just happened this month- new R voter registration just surpassed the Ds for the first time https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2021/11/05/republicans-make-florida-history-pass-democrats-in-voter-registrations/. Check out DeSantis' NJ remark lol. Back in 2008 Ds outnumbered Rs by 700,000 but been trending R ever since. Also FL had all D govs since forever in the past but the last 20+ yrs all R. Not to mention the state legislation favors Rs over Ds 2-1. Trump took FL in '16 & '20. I'm not saying it's a conservative bastion but it's heading in the right direction by my standards. In fact it may even becoming a sort of sanctuary state for a population seeking some sanity in their lives vs say, NJ. Its not a perfect state but it is one of the better run ones, our gov is awesome compared to most.
