Well I'm a dumb ass. There's a separate forum just for meet ups

Wait, what???? I don't check the forums for a few days and I miss a meet up at, from the pictures, looks like Clinton?? Damn it. Oh well, hopefully next time.

Oh, yes, forgot to mention, I'm a musician. Made a lot of money in the early '90s playing bass and singing in a Jersey shore cover band. It was a blast.

I feel your pain, started working in the car business in 1975 cause I loved cars, still in the business (doing something I never imagined I would be doing) and I hate cars more today then yesterday :-) So............Lately I've been listening to Outlaw Country on the satellite radio. Found some groups I hadn't heard in a while and connected with some newer groups. The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash. Gotta love the name and it's good old fashion rock a billy. Joey & Rory. Just fun old school country(?) Rockpile (Dave Edmunds & Nick Lowe) British '80s Rock a Billy at it's finest. Shooter Jennings. Just wants makes me want to grab a beer. Saved my newest favorite for last, Aaron Lewis. I know country music isn't everyone's cup of tea but you've got to check out Country Boy, (it pretty much sums me up)

That really is beautiful. Wish I could afford one!

I hate to disagree but I've been to RTSP and Heritage, both Rahway and Branchburg, many times. Once I've presented my FID they were satisfied, I returned my FID to my wallet and they have let me check out anything I've asked to see. Just my 2 cents. Oh, and I NEVER shop at Dick's because they are.....well......Dick's.

...when it's Sunday and you don't have a license (or a bow). My son and I had our Brittany out today at Black River WMA in Chester. Just giving him some field time in anticipation of upland season. We turn into one of the fields and staring us in the face is a solid 12 point buck. This guy was huge!! He looked at us, we at him and he took off. Damn thing looked like a moose.

Congratulations!!

Oops, I broke rule #1 of the Bucket 3 forum. Admins feel free to delete and my apologies.

My 2 cents....... Apple sold 2,000,000, that's 2 million, pre-orders for the iphone 5 in under 24 hours. I guess these 2 million are the 1% we've been told about???

Bought a 1/2" drive air impact wrench cheap. Sure, wouldn't use it day in and day out but for once in a while it's just fine.

One World Trade Center.

Okay, back to cool (at least I think it's cool)

I actually meant motor sports in general, WRC, F1, NHRA, NASCAR, if it's got a motor and you race it, I'm in.

To those complaining about street closures, they do worse for the NY marathon and bike marathon. Fort Lee just shut down more streets then this a few weeks ago for a triathlon. Don't be hating because you don't like the coolest spectator sport on the planet :-) I'm all in, this would be awesome and I'll be there if it happens.

Yeah, I thought dad was at the bar. The first choice never even occurred to me.

Drums are "simple", yes the concept is simple but working on them without the correct tools, and they are pretty specific tools, is not easy. You'll need at least this http://www.sears.com/craftsman-brake-spring-pliers/p-00945494000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 Sure you can get by without it but it ain't easy. The most overlooked aspect of brake maintenance is flushing your brake fluid. Every two years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, in other words, it absorbs water. Brakes get very hot when applied, water boils, changes from a liquid to a gas, a gas in any hydraulic system is not good. This is the cause of more panic braking situation failures then anything else. Just my 2 cents.

Lot's of good advice here. Personally I've working in the auto industry since 1975, almost exclusively with German brands. The Audi/VW 1.8t has a bad reputation. Fact is if the oil is changed at the correct intervals and the proper oil is used the engine will last forever. Yes, that is a little finicky for the typical American consumer. Bottom line is you cannot compare the fit, finish, ride and handling of German cars to anything else. The caveat, as many others have said here, is that repairs and parts can be VERY expensive. As for Asian brands, IMHO, Mazda and Subaru are nice cars. I do not have enough knowledge of domestics to opine. chris

Been shooting for almost 40 years now. Never had a miss fire from a revolver but I've had an occasional mis-fire from my 1911. I'm just saying if shit gets real I'm grabbing my 686.

You know, I've had a semi-auto jam........revolvers always fire... I'm a fan of both, Just saying....

Here's my boy Toby...

My son recently purchased a Marlin 336 in 30-30 and it's pretty sweet.

Now I have to stop in at HG (cause it's really close to home) to see Victoria...............
