Take notice that the rebate will run until 3/31/2019. I'll probably get in on this one a little later.

I'm in the same boat. The DVR is chock full of HMMHD. However since my wife shoots .22, .38, .357, .9mm, .40 and .45 ACP (all with her handguns) on average every two weeks with me, I'm good with it. As my mother used to say "You like it? I love it!" Sometimes Estrogen is an advantage.

"Wanting" something to happen, and understanding the necessity of something happening, are two different things. I'm quite sure no Americans 'wanted' to fight WW2. But many did because they understood it was necessary to get the correct outcome. Will the Bloomberg's and progressives of the world leave another option on the table for us? I suppose I should add that no one's been shot in France yet. But the gas tax is gone.

Right. I'm on the PAFOA right now looking at some of the responses. "A riot is an ugly thing. And I think it's just about time that we had one!" Inspector Kemp, Young Frankenstein

We do like Riesling, as long as it's trocken. By the way for those un- initiated to Champagne: Veuve Clicquot = The Widow (Clicquot)

I have a hunch I know what you have in mind. If I'm right, you are really creative.

I didn't put one foot in PA because I thought it was 'safe'. I know perfectly well no state in the union is 'safe' from the progressive assault. And if a Democrat President is elected in 2020 and god forbid the Senate flips, that's going to be the fork in the road for a lot of people. I think a meaningful rebellion against this crap is much more likely in PA than in NJ. The attitude on firearms is completely different, except in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and a couple other Democrat strongholds. I was really surprised once I got out there.

This post arrived in my Inbox today. Since I and others have one foot in PA I thought I would post it here. The gist of it is the city of Pittsburgh and Governor Tom Wolf will deliberately try to violate the state Constitution and enact a ban on the purchase of AR-15s, other similar firearms, require photo ID for ammo purchase etc. Of course it will be backed by Bloomberg, Cease Fire PA etc. Local attempts to circumvent state law have already failed in PA. But they'll try it anyway. I shall be making a contribution to the suit.

Very cute Sniper. Coincidentally that IS what I have left in my pocket after blowing this years firearms budget!!! The four bucks got up and were grazing, so I got a much better look at them. One of them is an 10-point rack. These are handsome dudes!

We see multiple deer napping out there all the time. It's been that way every year since we moved in. I've just never seen that many adult bucks in one place.

I am not a hunter, and I thought that Whitetail bucks tend toward solitary travel except of course during the rut. The point outside our house is a favorite hangout and pit stop for Whitetails, and trails have been on that land since at least 1984. But this morning I have four bucks and one female napping out there. And these are not kids. The one has an 8-point rack. I've never seen that in the last 26 years we've been here. Would this be considered a common occurrence?

Heronimo mentioned Bogle Phantom, so I'll add this. Bogle is our go-to daily drinker brand. Well, not each and every day, but when we're eating something that doesn't call for $10+. The Wine Library in Florham Park has the absolute best prices on Bogle anywhere. I buy it there by the case; they must buy it by the truckload! Phantom, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Chardonnay are all palatable.Their Sauvignon Blanc is not bad either. I don't buy their Cab anymore simply because I have more than enough 'better' cabs in the cellar. And if we're having a Cab it's usually some above average dinner. But Bogle Cab is fine too. And Scorpio: a wine tastes good when you go 'Yeah'. It tastes great when you go 'Whoa!'. That's all you need to know. It's not when someone says "Well I get notes of granite, peat moss and pencil eraser'. My wife and I review reds with words like thin, dry, warm, smooth, etc. We're simple folk.

Oh yeah. “Venezuelans didn’t care enough about it. The idea of having the means to protect your home was seen as only needed out in the fields. People never would have believed they needed to defend themselves against the government,” Vanegas explained. “Venezuelans evolved to always hope that our government would be non-tyrannical, non-violator of human rights, and would always have a good enough control of criminality.” Sound familiar?

Couldn't find it on YouTube. Probably a copyright issue.

OK, I suspected that. Since the video was on NBC.com I guess it wasn't detected. That's OK. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Of course the URL works for anyone who wants to see it. Uncle 45Doll

Hey Maksim check out that 2014 Rodney I listed. It's a surprise.

Here's a link I inserted in the wine thread that's running. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/uncle-jemimas-pure-mash-liquor/n11301 Is there a way I could post this and have it show up in the post? I see others do this with YouTube videos. I tried the image paste, but no go.

Since we appear to be drinking... http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/uncle-jemimas-pure-mash-liquor/n11301

Or 750 vs Magnum.

I did a lot of 'winning' with those in my 20's. But the absolute worst was the hangover from 2+ bottles of Andre's Cold Duck. I think that's what explains my adult fascination with quantum mechanics. All the smart cells were killed off. You know, like the slow caribou in the herd.

My go-to top shelf is The Widow. If you like Moet, do yourself a favor (if you haven't already) and try a bottle of Mumm Napa. I don't care if it's technically only sparking. It's a step up from Korbel (which I also like and drink; have a bottle of their Rose for NYE), and really tasty. And 1/3 of The Widow. God, I'm getting really thirsty.

Well no chance of the wines I listed doing that. Good luck with the baskets. I deliberately didn't even mention Champagne. That's another plateau. As a side note, tonight it's just Bogle Chardonnay. One of our white daily drinkers. Around $7 at the Wine Library in Florham Park. Hic!

Note to the OP: If you want your wine 'baskets' to be meaningful, you should know if the recipient(s) have a particular liking or aversion to specific grapes. That's really the baseline. Red vs. White are big demarks, followed by: Cabernet, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Reisling, Chianti, Malbec, Pinot Noir etc. If you find that out, your gifts will be more effective. I have friends who will salivate over almost any Cabernet, but can't stand Chardonnay.

Hey, you forgot Oh god, now I think I have a headache.

Vlad's recollection is correct. And that's why I and others have mentioned that the only really effective tool against this stuff will be mass public civil disobedience. And I don't mean going underground and hoping you're not the one who gets caught. I mean heeding the words of Senator Spartacus and 'getting up in their face'. But the frogs are not at 212F yet.
