NJ Governor Election 2013
Unfortunately while the system has turned into what we have now Career Politicians and not people in office for the PEOPLE, and we will 99.999999% of the time be left with choosing a person that is just the lesser of 2 evils and who will do the least amount of damage during there term. It's really too bad that out founding fathers were 1000 times more knowledgeable to the way things could be in the future than people we have today who have an education that is probably 100 times better than what was available back then.

HP discontinuing HP touchpads
Listing removed, probably someone who sold 1000's of them and never had a single one but has peoples's money and is retiring in the Caribbean today before the storm hits. Harry

Evacuation question
Long Gun yes, but for a Handgun someone elses house isn't one of the exempt reasons for transporting a handgun. Crazy I know but it's the way I understand it, and I doub't there are any provisions during a state of emergency especially in NJ. Harry

Good generator, short notice...
They are good, but I would place the Honda units a little better and as far as running noise, some of the Honda's you almost have to touch to see if they are running. No if I was a RV'r I would spend the coin on one, but as someone who will only use one in an emergency situation like we may have this weekend, I'll use one like I can get at Costco. Problem is just like 2 winters ago when we though we had out last snow storm and Snow blowers went on sale at HD and Lowes, the next day when the WX Man said snow storm they were right back up to a premium price and I could swear some of them were being sold above MSRP, probably not but the difference from one days price to the next was drastic. Figure the same might be going on with Generators right now, especially from small supply places. Harry

Opinion- new vs used
While I do have plenty of guns I have purchased new, I also have many that were used and knock on wood I have had no problems. I won't shy away from a gun because it's been used, I will if it's been abused or there is something I really don't like about it, but for the most part guns are mechanical, they have parts that wear, part can be replaced and made as good as new. While there aren't any guns I can think of that I would get that are in real bad shape, but I do think of them like I do older Harley's, they can be built from the ground up and rebuilt to last a life time.

prepping for hurricane..
I keep mine at 33 - 34 and the freezer at -7, I like my beer cold. lol Also all the water bottles everyone is buying or filling put in the frig also. You really should put this stuff in there now if it isn't already being some things can take up to 24 hours to cool to the core, just look at the refrigerator mini kegs, they say to let them cool for 24 hours. That's so if you lose power these items will help retain the cold. Harry

prepping for hurricane..
One thing i have not seen mentioned was to get all you outdoor furniture and other things outside your home inside or tied down. Not only can they cause damage to you home but also your neighbors home. Trash can's are another thing that isn't always nice to bring in but getting them in your garage for a day or 2 and then air it out if they were dirty and stinky and you will be good. Best of luck to all of us getting through this with no damage or worse. Harry

everyone loves a barbecue! nj2as event...
I'll try and make it and see how many people here say they may bring there children to see if it's just myself or my OL and rugrat, heck Football will be just fine, after all the 10/2 MLB will only be NLDS games and I and am AL fan anyway. For others who may be thinking that same way, I have a 12 YO girl thats good with kids of all ages so if there are more kids going, I'll bring mine. Harry

OBRPC Membership question
Yes, members can bring there spouse and kids there.. For sign up you can bring any gun you would normally shoot at the range with, That would be handguns or rim-fire rifles, just no magnum loads. As I said the day you sign up they are looking to see not how you shoot in regards to accuracy on the target, but how you handle the gun and if your observing the safety rules that are in place for you and the other members.

Best part is it looks like all of us in NJ and south of us will be on the East side of the eye wall. the western tip of LI and RI MA may be a different story. Harry

prepping for hurricane..
All gas containers I have have Stabil in them, I do that as soon as I get home from the gas station, I then use that for whatever I use it in, also I use it for my 2-stroke mix also. Also for vehicles or engines that don't see a lot of use, either for winter storage, or you just don't use them for a while I also run the engine for a while to make sure the gas in the carb and bowl have gas with the Stabil in it. While the gas we have today isn't like it was years ago but you still can have problems. I would say if it doesn't start with fresh gas right away, pull the bowl and clean as much as you can and try that, if thats a no go, you might need to pull the carb and do a little more detailed job on it. Hopefully just some fresh gas will get you running. Harry.

prepping for hurricane..
Loaded in mag already, 225 rounds of 9mm, 160 of .40 and 48 .380 and plenty of backup. Oh food water and other supplies for a month are on hand, just another normal day at my house. While the above was said with some joking connotations, we are really looking at this storm, We have our next conference call for a lot of the FAA facilities on the east coast in another 35 minutes but some of our forecasters are saying this may be a good category 2 storm as it passes us and not diminish to a tropical depression until it's well inland through CT into MA. Tony your doing good, as we do at the airports and other facilities, plan for the worst and hope for the best. Harry

OBRPC Membership question
I will say, I don't plan on leaving the club until I do move out of the state, it's close about 10 minutes from my pad to either range, and lots of great activities, only problem, you will need to increase your ammo supply, never thought I would go through as much ammo as I have been, but it's a blast. Hey had to have 1 pun in there. Well that's about all I can think of at this time of the morning, let me know if I missed anything or prompted another question and I'll get back to you after I go get a coffee. Harry

If you thought ADE was bad...
Not sure, didn't even think about that, but standard protective wear would be the head/face and crotch area protectors at a minimum. Harry

Uhh, earthquake?
We had 1 SWA B737 in the runway in position ready and 1 on a 2 miles final and the arrival went around after no contact with the tower and the one ready to take off sat there on the runway for over 30 minutes until the relocation facility was up and running. Everything else sits and waits and doesn't move. Also prior to anything landing or taking off runway inspections need to be completed to check for damage. Just when I was having a nice smooth day at work. Harry
