My situation is somewhere between Griz and Wildbob. Thanks to those who have PM'd me. I am presenting to a mixed bunch, but it is in a professional setting. Doing some of my translation research last night incantation is everything and it is taking a lot of time to make sure I am using the correct form, especially with verbs. Naturally yesterday afternoon I was asked to give two presentations instead of one. I was under the assumption I was doing an either or and it was my choice. And of course after making that request, the organization requested I have all my material ready today instead of Friday. I have to finish up a webinar today and then will be diving back into it again. Finished one presentation late last night but need to proof read it....At least the organizer offered an apology and wants to take me out for dinner after the event...and she is very, very easy on the eyes. What happens in Mexico City stays in Mexico City....unless it is crabs, Montezuma's revenge or a bad sombrero. Here are some of the words I am using as flash points in my slides. Predict Plan Perform Flood Fire Earthquake Disaster Violence Hurricane Tornado (which is the same) Impact Certainty Crisis Donkey Show...j/k

That's what I am concerned about....Spain versus Newark versus Mexico City versus Puerto Rico versus Costa Rica versus NYC Spang'lish. It never ends.

I kid you not, I need some minor translation help or someone to read something for me to make sure I am not going to make a fool of myself. Okay, no guarantee on the fool part. Here's the deal, I am off to Mexico next week to do a presentation on Building Security and Disaster Preparedness at a big security / facilities trade show. I am going to have a translator working with me, but I have a few PowerPoint slides that I want to create in Spanish. Because I am aware there are quite a few variations of Spanish, I want to make sure I am not losing anyone with some of the slides. Muchas grassy-a**.

The ACE's are nice stocks. The foam works great in the winter and in the summer when you are sweating like mad during long hours of training outside. I recently took mine off for a Magpul stock in OD. My recent built is all OD and black and I was thinking about spray painted the ACE, but went with the Magpul. Again, they are a nice stock.

Hey!

Was'up

I wish I could have made it yesterday. Between family commitments and insane work deadlines it would have set me back quite a bit. As far as that semi-CCW picture, this is why IWB holsters are the best for CCW. Even if your shirt comes off, more than of your pistol is still hidden inside your pants.

Yes I did, and the same applies to most of the criminal element of society. Are you aware that around 70% of scum that are shot while in connection of gang activities have been shot before? When I was at the Gun Violence presentation at the NJSP in Trenton and they said that, I raised my hand and asked why do we keep patching them up? Shouldn't we tag their ears so we know they are repeat offenders and just let them bleed out on the street instead of spending big money to save their lives only to put them back on the street boosting a new scar. Got a few smiles and was told they won't comment on it. Trust me, you don't want to see the dark side of me come out of the bottle, it is a beyotch getting it back in.

Deer. Turkey. Vermin. Do we really need to spend more money in an already troubled economy by spending more then the cost of a bullet to 'rehabilitate' them? It isn't like they are endangered here in NJ. I am all for adopting animals at shelters...3 of mine were rescued. But if they are hurt, put them down. Too many people try to humanize animals. It isn't like the family of the slain turkey is in morning or trying to figure out how to pay the bills now. While the animal is dying, they aren't requesting last rites or asking their last words to be relayed to loved ones. Let's get real people. Dr. Jack Kevorkian approves this message.

Same logic as Newark.

@ 200 yards seeing a 223 hole is tough even with a good spotting scope. At 200+ yards you need a quality scope and a really rock solid base / stand. When I first starting shooting Service Rifle, my Winchester Spotting Scope and cheapo stand wouldn't allow me to see my shots and that was around $125 IIRC. I eventually dropped around $500 and picked up a nice Nikon off of the refurbished list at SWFA. For your budget of a hundred dollars it will work for 100y and peeking at your neighbor down the block, but to see a 223 hole, you are going have to dig deeper. I have a BSA spotter which is good to 100 yards. I made the mistake of buying the BSA, then the Winchester and then the Nikon, I could have saved some coin. I think my Nikon is 60X but will have to check. Stands can run another $100 to $400 bills. Good glass ain't cheap and vice-versa.

One of the biggest reasons some PA and other state LE Agencies use suppressors is to kill wounded deer in populated areas is so all the PETA types don't come running to their windows when they hear a gun shot or 47. :thsmiley_deadhorse: If you try to put a deer / bear / Crip / Blood out of their misery using a pistol round, you might need to reapply the lead treatment a couple of times until you get your desired results. Pull the cruiser in tight if you can to the wounded mammal, pap-pap and then call Animal Control for a removal... or your local Sino take-out joint.

Scoped Gamo Air Rifle + Predictable Turkey Behavior = Hot Open Sammiches with Gravy

I miss my M1 Carbine. I saw that when I ordered my Tech Sites from EAB...the stock is on my wish list however.

Did they take a hunter safety course? Have proper Spring Season Tags? If not, Fish and Game should take away their firearms and fine them a G note...I kid of course. They need to have open season on seagulls along Route 72.

The game has changed in car-jacking. It used to be to steal the car and bring it to the chop shop or load it in a container to be sold overseas. Or to roll the driver if they had appeared to have some coin. Now, they are hitting any and everything.

Nice shirts. Don't think I'd get smiles from Mrs. Wojo wearing them around the kids or to church...A handful of fuk-yeah cracked me up. Or the I don't hate zombies...

So, I am in Newark last night attending a FBI function on organized crime, terrorism, gang violence and yadda yadda yadda. A couple entertaining things were encountered. As usual, the G-men present some interesting and thought provoking material. They pulled a few firearms from the evidence locker that were used in some of the crimes that were discussed and cases closed. On the table was a collection of crap. I mean crap, junk, rusted, mutilated poop. A 1911 made by someone I couldn't tell, we weren't allow to fondle so I couldn't tell who made it, but the machine work was poor and I think once it was cast they forgot to file and buff the metal before blueing. A InterTec 9mm 'machine' pistol that looked like it would go KB before you finished a mag. A lever action with a hack-sawed barrel and stock that had almost no blue left on it, a High Point 9mm pistol that was a strange polymer steel mix from what I could tell, a sawed off and stock cut shotgun that looked like it was buried during the civil war and recently found. The other interesting tidbit shared was crime, especially car-jackings are at all time highs. The last couple of months around Newark and Belleville the incidents are overwhelming. It was speculated that since Newark laid off a butt-load of LEO's they had to pull a lot of detectives from the office and put them on the street to cover some of the voids lost by the beat cops. With that said, who is investigating crimes now? The perps know this. So, unless you catch them in the act, the chances of good detective work happening are greatly reduced. Great move there Mayor Booker. At this moment there are over 11,000 wanted felons in Newark alone. Eleven-friggin-thousand that have skipped on bail / parole and are looking to make their living off of you. Years ago we were told how the Essucks County Sheriff beytoched that the fugitive recovery unit was overloading the jail and they needed to stop. I guess when I go to Mexico City next month to present about making your facility secure from disasters and crime, it will be safer then Newark. I am soooo glad I moved out of Newark and Belleville years ago. Make your own conclusions, but I am willing to bet most of us will be on the same page. Carry on...

Nice work. I used to play around with line and do mid-level 'fancy work' on the brand spanking new Coast Guard Cutter. When you are the 'Plankowner' you get to do all the 'traditional' nautical touches...the 'how to' part is long gone. Anyway before I digressed, I've done some paracord wraps on key bug out small hand tools and want to take it up a few notches. I was thinking about it this morning and was wondering if there were any books on the para-projects and this post pops-up, nice timing. So, how long did the second or third ones take to do and how much cord is in each one? Did you use the full cord or just the skin on some parts?

I know a couple people missed the workplace violence webinar and hoped that it would come around again...it has. We are also doing an a webinar addressing business continuity problems as a result of what is going on in Japan. And for you IT guys out there, I'd really like to get your thoughts on the last webinar topic for Webased IT DR Testing from Web-Continuity. We are starting a business alliance with them and I am a non-IT guy, but there is quite a buzz kicking up from the geek-squad on this product. I have an informational flyer and am trying to get some feedback in the IT community about it. Thanks for the interest....and remember during registration, tell them Wojo sent you.

You need to look at planning for not only for events that effect you directly, but other much more likely and more frequent events that affect you through others you depend on in your business (supply chain) While unfortunate, these types of events can affect an opportunity to gain at your competitors expense. Supply chain related issues and impacts need to be a primary focus for most companies and today it is not.

As Sergant Shultz says, "I know nothing". Any contractor can tell you if you are a dick filing your building application, there is a good chance your folder or application is going to be flagged for anything to delay your progress. And this can happen numerous times trying from filing the initial permit application to getting your Certificate of Occupancy. The more phallic your are, the more you application is screened which seems to be a common business practice in the public and private sector as well. Simply put, if you're a dick, you aren't seen as a priority, if you are up to your butt in alligators daily working in a swamp. When someone is posting negative remarks and discussing retribution, I'd say it justified his need to come down to meet with the NBPD. The guy was a tool and absolutely warranted a request to come in for a meeting at HQ. From my limited knowledge, I stand behind NBPD on this one. Bloomfield, Millburn call all piss up a rope.

In New Jersey...nah, never happen.

We repeated the process on three other buildings. We increased the battery size so we could also use them to assist with our 90+ minute emergency lighting circuits, electronic door locks and other life safety systems and kept them separate from the full emergency battery / gen system. On the weekends with the exception of high or very low temperatures, the panels powered the building. If the building is vacant, the meter would spin 'backwards'. Consumer advice...stay away from the websites offering to tell you how to buy solar chips at a fraction of the money. They tell you to buy busted up panels and glue them together. For many reasons, don't fall into the trap of going cheap. If you are laying out coin, buy and cry once and go for the best stuff. Any small solar project without government incentives has a 15 year payback period. If you are doing it for survival, building a cabin off the grid, etc., then pay back period isn't a concern, reliability is. You would also be surprised at how ignorant the building and fire departments are on solar...having to educate them was one of my biggest challenges during my projects.

I have a good friend who is a senior member of the NBPD and is very pro-2A...for legal gun owners and regular citizens. He is also on their SWAT / Entry Teams and sees A LOT of action. The Chief doesn't exactly put FID's as a top priority compared to all the other things he has to do, but they do get done as he gets around to doing them. Be patient and polite and your application won't get sand-bagged. That's the best advice I can give you. It is funny how I met this guy who lives in my town and our boys play football and wrestle. One day he was on the phone with a friend having a high volume NJ style discussion about someone trashing the NBPD and the FID process from ARFCOM and was holding a print out of the forum and thread. I introduced myself and pointed to my posts trying to put the OP in line. The OP's thread was brought to NBPD's attention and the thread was directed at him....Be careful what you post. It was pretty funny when the ARF'er had to go on bended knee and eat some humble pie when he was called in for questionable behavior and threatening remarks he posted regarding LEO's.

I've dabbled in the solar industry and have about 15 years of experience in all sorts of Energy Conservation Technologies. Check out this solar project I spear-headed a few years ago - Wojo's Solar Roof Project
