Driveway sealing question.
If you're gonna commit to asses and elbows with a rope type you might as well use the melt stix. Same work process. I was fantasizing about a sweep in application. I know it won't last. I just want to lipstick the pig before the topcoat

Driveway sealing question.
"My sense is some sort of thick filler is best. Then a coat. Just doing a coat probably won't restore those spider cracks. Be like painting cracked drywall if the cracks are more than hairline." The above is the issue. Looking for suggestions. The "thick filler" is grueling to apply. Like squeezing toothpaste for hours.

Driveway sealing question.
So it's long overdue to do driveway. I have many many cracks. Some small some about 1/2 inch wide. Last time I did it 5 years ago I spent many back breaking hours doing my best to fill up the cracks with various tubes/caulk types of pavement repair stuff to fill the voids as best I could. Good prep job for the sealer. I'd say all that prep work paid off the driveway looked pretty darn smooth after it was done (of course just cosmetic). I'm cringing about doing all that prep again, but yet I just can't get myself to skip that step and just roll out the sealer I'm too anal about my DIY work. So the question is: is there not some sort of sand I could just sweep into the cracks to level out the voids and then apply the sealer over? Like if it was pavers you sweep that cement sand into the joints. Is there no product because the sealant would not adhere to the sand? If I do it again I will use those stix that melt for the big ones and I guess the tubes of goo for the small ones but man I got many "spiderweb' groupings of voids to fill I'm dreading it. I would just love one type of roll out to fill voids, then just squeegee the topcoat over that.

Working in NYC
Why are guys on here saying there is a NYC tax for out of staters. The "commuter" tax was abolished years ago. Yes you file a NYC tax return but every penny you pay to NY you get credit on NJ under "taxes paid to other jurisdictions"

Need a favor
Lasr three guys missed the OP point. Two dwellings illegal to tansport BETWEEN the two? Not from a range to a dwelling, from work to a dwelling, from store to a dwelling His lawyer friend said you are illegal driving from one dwelling to the next with a gun. So then you ask "well how the heck do i transport to get it to my second dwelling in the first place? He would say you have to stop at a permitted location first on the way according to that law. (I'm not taking a side just clearinh up the OP question)

Benelli M4 - Where?
I used to be in the camp of getting really annoyed when people chimed in their 2 cents irrelevant to the question. I remember my first one "what condition would you store your 1911 at bedside?" And I got bombarded with "I keep my Glock with one in the chamber". Or "a 1911 is bad for HD" or Whatver But now I've learned way more from this site by people giving their "irrelevant" opinions more than I would have otherwise.

Ear pro questions
I finally had an epiphany when I went with the plugs and then electronic over it. But I just turned the volume way up. I have grappled with the sport and my ear damage over the years. I dreaded taking classes because I wear 100% soundblock custom plugs when I shoot indoors that I wouldn't hear the instructor. So at class I put in foam plugs then electric over it. Holy awesomeness. When we weren't shooting and I kept the plugs in I actually heard the voices BETTER with my muffs on than without (most people take their muffs off to talk during instruction). I just kept mine on and kept volume up but the electronic stopped the sonic booms. Game changer for me. Wish I discovered years ago.

what to do with my retirement
most people don't roll into a new employer. they won't let you just keep all your funds in the old plan? if you liked those funds just keep it there. If they are forcing you to transfer or cash out and roll into an IRA the only real "danger" in that is then you are your own money manager. And you could be tempted to sell that Vanguard fund that was good to you.. and start buying some individual stocks.. (like maybe you buy Smith n Wesson stock) and then you wind up losing 50% of your retirement money because 90% of people suck at buying individual stocks (I am one of those that suck).. So if they make you cash it out and you roll into IRA just please please please only buy FUNDS not individual stocks.

Is this armor or Kevlar or what?
HE I just retread your reply. So there are inserts but it's not steel. It's fabric if I understood you.

So the shirt itself is not ballistic? You have to insert plates into it? Forget the Kevlar semantics. I just wanted to know if the application here is a shirt that stops bullets.

Gun Safe Temp / Humidity Balance?
And how reliable is your hygrometer... Just saying. So I have like 4 in the house. One for the wine fridge, the room humidifier, the central house humidifier, and one on a clock. The reading range is over 15 points between them. I have no idea which one is best. I guess you get what you pay for.

I still think the chief is getting off wayyyyy too easy.

Ex-boyfriend sought in woman's slaying while waiting for permit!
The police chiefs email address is on their website if you want to express your opinions to him. About him probably lying about the fingerprint thing. Or about what a disgrace it is that he didn't know about a 30 day law. I corresponded with the courier reporter he is now very clear about how the NJ system works.

Let's roast the chief first who said "I didn't know there was a 30 day statute"

Ex-boyfriend sought in woman's slaying while waiting for permit!
And another thing. Ya know what? Don't even give the fuckers the courtesy of a "perhaps a handgun wouldn't have protected her anyway" She was stabbed in her driveway where it would have been legal to posses the gun! Until the Berlin PD proves It s not their delay I feel her death is on their hands. My blood is boiling over this. Ms Browne your death will not got to waste. Something will change.

I don't think you can expect the reporter to care about why PDs aren't bound to the 30 day rule. Reporters just want to a scoop if an official is lying Let's just get the reporter to find out the real reason why it wasn't done in 30 days. Fingerprints? Doubt it Refeemces? If she asked for a status update I'm sure her references were cleard. "OUR CAPTAIN JUST SITS ON THEM FOR MONTHS BECAUSE HE IS ANTI GUN"? Now there is a story. !
-

I informed the reporter that most prints are instant processed. Someone else shoul ask the reporter to ask to see the file. If they dragged their feet just fess up to it. Don't lie about prints.
-

Send emails to the reporter to follow up on the fingerprint issue. Is she inquired on Monday for an update surely her prints and references were done.

Please nobody post "the article said "permit". Just give it a rest we've been down this path before . Who cares what the journalist wrote. Permit, FID, that's not the point. Let's keep the topic the 30 day wait. I'll call bullsjit on the fingerprint thing.

LPA fiber optic sights.
Red front sight. Green rears. Just saw a video. I was intrigued. Anybody have them? Over $100 though.
