2014 Firearms Goals
Shoot more. I honestly haven't shot anything in about a year. Disappointing. Buy more magazines. Take a CCW course.

Good truck cap...
Leer is a great brand. My dad and I have had a few things made by them and it's always been good. Also, unless you're moving a lot of stuff often that can't be exposed.. Don't get a cap. They're practical for a lot of things and a pain in the arse for a lot more. I'm partial to tool boxes and an open bed myself.

Breaking Bad Marathon on AMC
You're better off streaming it if you can. I don't know if your area has decent ISPs but I'm stuck with some Blue Ridge crap. I feel like I'm stuck in 2003.

Highschool Rifle Team
My dad was in the HS Shooting club in 1982, long gone by the time I entered the place in 2005. I don't know how he transported but he used my grandfather's rifle and ammo at some point.

I can't believe what I did!
I'm surprised nobody pointed out "1th"

Truxxx lift kit
Err... I'll cite Wikipedia as a reliable source that the Ridgeline is Odyssey based. To be specific, it is heavily related to the TL, Accord, Pilot, MDX, and Odyssey. Also, it's completely different from lifting every other vehicle with the exception of new Explorers and similar vehicles. The thought of lifting something with a FWD bias makes me cringe which is why I asked in the first place. Although, in all honesty, there isn't much of a difference between the CV joints in a real 4x4 IFS and a FWD. I'll still take a Dana 60 up front with manual locking hubs and a manual transfer case though..

Affordable inch/lb torque wrench?
Harbor Freight unless you're using it a lot for work or something. I bought one to adjust the bands on my trans there.

Anyone want a Diner for free?
I do remember the junk guy at the Ledgewood circle. He was somewhere between the strip club and McDonalds. If you Google it you can find him. I was young when they got rid of the circle. I'm going to guess 10 arbitrarily. I remember bugging my parents to always bring me there but it was always a firm no. One of my friends went there and bought a Schwinn Stingray, I was obviously jealous. Junk places are cool. Also the original Sandwiches Unlimited was right there too. I remember being there once and it was old and hokey IIRC. Edit: here's a link. I would format it but I'm on my phone

Anybody know old currency values?
They're worth about $2 unless they are pristine condition or oddballs like star notes. Awhile back I got $40 worth at the bank of 1953s IIRC.

Reminds me of the Toms diner on Route 46 in Ledgewood. Pretty sure it was in the Cyndi Lauper video. Unrelated, but you HAVE to try White Manna.

Lead bullets - kaput...
How does cast 223 shoot? Truth is, I've never reloaded or cast for that matter. I inherited everything I need to do both and I just haven't gotten into. Done a lot of reading and that's it. I've read that a lot of rifle bullets can't be cast well. Slow stuff like 30-30 works well, and more modern bullets may cause excessive leading at a standard speed. So yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about. I'd like to cast 38, 45, 30 carb, and maybe one or two others. I shoot a lot of cast 38 and 45 ACP SWC's, my dad's 1911 likes them.

Truxxx lift kit
Yeah, It's FWD bias. Again, not hating on the guys truck, but I'm curious as to how it's done. Probably a lot more expensive than a regular pickup Truck.

Lead bullets - kaput...
Well, you can't cast 5.56, but I'll be casting a lot of 7.62x39, 45 ACP, and 38 if that's the case. Not sure if 7.62x54r or 30-06 can be cast.

How does one lift a minivan? Those things are unibody minivan based with full independent suspension IIRC. I'm not hating, but curious as to how they do it. I mean, is it cheap strut spacers or a true suspension lift? Unless I'm fully mixing things up.

The Solution to Car Jackings
I don't know about that. My truck is 5000x easier to steal (one flathead screwdriver and knowledge of Ford starter solenoids) but...

Buying Online ?
IF they will ship it, just ship the non-compliant upper to your house. Anyone can shave a bayo lug, and the flash hider isn't too difficult to do. You may save money paying someone to just do the flash hider. Building your own upper is fun too. You need to buy a $35 wrench then. Just get a barrel with the gas block and everything on it. Also, LPKs are universal. Just get a quality one, I like CMMG.

The Solution to Car Jackings
My solution to the carjackings: I drive an old truck. Recently it burst into flames in my driveway, so I fixed the wiring, replaced all of the burnt plastic pieces and continue to drive it. I feel completely safe parking my truck in Newark.

Getting an FID while residing out of state
Doesn't hurt to ask. A good number of the people handling these things are pretty cool about it. There is, however, that one person that will tell you to wait until summer.

Any Griswolds on here?
I'm curious to see if anyone else goes overboard and is "that" obnoxious neighbor with the 10000 Christmas Lights. I am, well I try to be anyway. I'm still in the process of unpacking my house and doing work because I recently moved. My house is mostly either C7 or C9 clear colored bulbs, and I have blow molds everywhere since I love the things. I like a lot of old timey Christmas things. I HATE those inflatable things although I begrudgingly have two. I need to dig a few pics of my old house in the 90's, as my dad used to go wayyy overboard.

Vintage Daisy add
I would buy it if I still could. I'm looking for a repeater bb gun, but probably with a higher fps.

Kershaw
The cheapy Kershaws are Commie. If it has a $30ish MSRP or more, it is probably made here. Leeks are cheap, excellent and made here.

Securing my Generator
Ahem. Knew this was going to create a mess. First off, I have yet to run the generator in my garage. My old house didn't have a garage and I just chained it to my F150. Secondly, the only way I would run a generator in a garage is if I had someone else weld up an exhaust, that would exit somewhere outside. I'm not going to run my generator inside because it IS a hazard and it will still probably be loud as hell. I have a quality generator (Honda), and a proper exhaust wouldn't be a hazard, but still the thought of running it inside I'm not okay with. People have been running engines inside for years, this wouldn't be anything new. Trust me, I'm an engineer. Those hoses that connect to a tailpipe are near useless imho. I always just opened the garage door when I worked as a mechanic because the fumes always bothered me. At home, half the time I push the car out myself and start it outside. A big block, with a four barrel, and no cats will stank up an attached house real quick. Before anyone hates on my lack of cats, it is a factory setup.
