Pretty much the above. I have a generator for well water and heat... anything else is an extra like a warm shower. We can use the stove top and keep some lights on. I shut the gen off at night and if we're not home. I still want to build a battery bank for my wood stove blower with an inverter. I found that on a 29 degree day. If i left my house for work at 7 and returned at 5ish, the house dropped down to 59 degrees with everything off. imagine what the temps would be after 4 days? You can have unlimited Nat gas to your house, but no power no heat. Most people can sweat it out in the summer, a winter outage can be brutal on not just you but your home as well.

Last major storm up here, it took them 4 days to get to the pole that snapped in half on a pretty major roadway that connects the northern part of town. It took them the entire day to clean up the tree and to fix just that pole, when i left my house for work they were just arriving, by the time i got home they were pulling the lines up it, and it wasnt another 5-6 hours before the power was back on. They rigged the upper part of the pole that snapped, it was tethered mid air, and they didnt completely fix it until another 3 weeks later. We too, never really saw them out working, but they are there. We were the last ones to get power back. The crews are out there, even if you don't see them. Trees fall and shit, its a factor living in NJ where we get hit by storms regularly. Our entire grid has probably been replaced in the past 10 years up here, but its the trees that are the problem, not the equipment. Other places may suffer from equipment failures, and shortage of supplies. There is no such answer to when power will be back, and it probably pisses people off more to get an estimate only to have it be inaccurate. If you live somewhere populated, estimate 4 days.. if you get it sooner consider yourself lucky. If you can find them, there is ussually a hundred or so trucks at the staging areas at night in your local area.. ussually a mall parking lot or something near a big hotel.

Funny stuff... Valvoline doesn't even put a shelf life on their synthetic oil, yet mobile 1 says only 5 years. I would be interested to know what in the mobile one is "going bad" in a 5 year period when stored in a sealed container. These oils last a long time at significant temps, so storing in a garage at 80 degrees should be no issue, especially sealed. If it were in a machine, it really cant hurt to change every couple years if it's low use. I just change it every time i have to use the genset since we end up running it for a few days straight.

Im not sure what the deal is with their outage map, its been pretty accurate in the past, but this its showing my entire area is out, but it isnt. There are three outtages on my street listed, but we all have power. Im not sure what the deal is. We all have buried power lines, so its either all or none.

Nickel plating, basic metallurgic properties include corrosion resistance, and lower coefficient of friction than brass. The surface is more "slick" so to speak, it being less porous helps with corrosion. It's easy to control the plating process too, creating an accurate and thin layer. I bought my house from a cop who left about 1000 rounds of nickel 9mm cases in a box out in the shed... i looked into before deciding to reload them.

Pretty much every tree that was gonna come down came down in my neighborhood last November after the ice storm. We lost power for maybe 5 minutes, which tells me they were probably out fixing something on the main line already. I had the genset ready to go, but i'm always happy to just put it back in the shed. This spring they did a lot of tree cutting near the main lines too, which im very appreciative of.

Why are you using a single recession as a data point?

Its steel cased, it's usually cheaper on average by a couple cents a round. Wolf(gold) brass cased is pretty good plinking ammo, but it's normally in line or on the slightly cheaper side of any brass cases ammo.

These people are unreal. The only way this get dragged out is if trump wins.

Thank God I'm stuffed with ammo and reloading components, and have zero time to go shooting. Can you hear that sound the trigger makes now? Boom? Nope. Cha-ching! Imo, if people buy it the price is right..

I already buy my filters off amazon in bulk for like 7 bucks each. The auto parts places of all places always have the highest prices. Homedepot sells mobile1 pretty cheap when its on sale. Even Amazon had 6 packs for 26 bucks, I just used the last of that. So I never even think about buying oil at these places let alone free filters.

You might like their oil for bikes too. No idea who thought of it, but the rotella t6 stuff is supposed to be great. So much cheaper too than marked up oil for bikes. I switched over from the valvoline twin.

I always use mobile 1, but not for a particular reason its ussually on sale and good quality. Rotella mobile one Castrol royal... cant go wrong with any of it. And no issues swapping brands.I

5w20 was on sale too! Hot dang! Rotella is good stuff for sure! I might have just cleaned out the last of the 5w30 and 5w20 at the rt 23 sussex store. That was massive savings! not sure why but i couldn't get any of the discount codes to work?

realistically, about 48 states had stay at home orders in some fashion starting early April through early June.. But people act like we "did nothing" omg how did other countries beat the RONA? meanwhile... everyplace that has opened up is seeing spikes unless they live in Isolation.

The market is a terrible indicator of the economy right now, its very disconnected from reality. Since this is a manufactured event, its hard to say what it really means. Certainly a "wake up" call for those wanting to keep the country shut down.

Trumps only Pro-gun when he needs to win an election.. sorry.

200 PAIRS for like 23 bucks shipped with prime. Im sold. Great addition to go under my Pro Ear Golds

If you chrono your loads im guessing you could seat the bullet a little deeper and drop more powder. I've gone up to 4.2gr at 1.35coal 124gr plated

Keep in mind, Garmin aviation equipment has all been bricked. Apparently no one can update flight plans etc or recieve information through their software interface... I have no idea how this impacts the bigger picture, you should do your preflight homework.. when I used to fly model airplanes we would check for NFZ every time we went out. Unfortunately when people.rely on tech if it screws up... well ya screwed as well.

Hold on, constructive intent by NJ definition applies to assualt weapons, not magazines.. Unless I missed something I dont think constructive intent applies by statutory definition.

This is NJ man, the only FFLs around me are mom and pop shops thst don't stack ammo, or they are establishments that want pandemic prices on a normal day.

I would also point out that while the 10/22 is a great platform, most competitive rifles at those distances are bolt guns.

I remember that deal. Even at 75 bucks, they end up costing the same as buying a complete glock. Those 80's are 100000x easier to put together tho.
