Four rules of Bike Riding in NJ
I like to ride my bikes but they are all 3 or 5 speed cruisers. Would not be caught dead on one those spindly racing bikes or in spandex. Plus I live in a rural area. Can ride 4 miles and might see only one or two cars.

Cataract Operaton
You can get lenses that will improve your vision. They cost extra and slightly longer procedure and more pre-op testing. I just went for standard mono focal which will give near perfect distance vision.Mostly because I will still need glasses to see out of my other eye. I too was freaked out about seeing what the doctor does during operation bur fear not. All you see is undentifiable objects and colors. Sedation is mild, you can still hear and follow instruction. No pain of any kind what so ever. Cost is about $3,500 my insurance will pick about $1,500 yours may vary. If you got to pay it on your own they told me about $3,000. My benefits were changed to a higher deductable recently. Not complaining, glad I that I have them. I used Eye Associates SurgiCenter of Vineland. Every one there was super nice and a very well run place. Can't say enough good about them. Pizza Bob is also right on the money with his info. Bottom line like he said, fear not. It's amazing the advancements they have made

Cataract Operaton
Just and FYI for anyone with cataracts contemplating the operation. You would not believe how quick and simple it is. Remove cataract insert new lense. Takes 15 minutes. Total time spent at surgical center was just under 2 hours. And they have a new procedure where they inject your eye with a solution so you don’t have to do eye drops before or after the operation. I can see better already and vision will continue to improve over next few weeks. Very glad I had it done.

LOTTERY - WHO WOULD STAY IN NJ
Gone real quick. They only thing I would take is some cloths and my hand guns. Walk away from everything else and never be seen or heard from again. No family ties to speak of except wife. Would start a brand new life.

Thinking About Getting a 17 HMR Rifle
Thanks to all, have a Savage 93 in 22 magnum. It's the most accurate gun I own. So it would definitely be the 17 HMR version of the 93

Thinking About Getting a 17 HMR Rifle
I really enjoy shooting my 22 and 22 WMR rifles. Thinking I might like to try a 17 HMR. Any of you 22 guys also shoot 17 HMR, do you like the cartridge? Any serious pros or cons?

Dick's Sporting Goods
Dick’s had a rifle I wanted at a great price and they are not too far from me. Never bought a firearm from them before now. All involved there were professional and competent. But dam, everything checked and double checked, pay for NIC’s before paper work is filed out, manager’s approval, walk you to register etc. Took an hour at least to complete purchase. Dam I hate to think what it would have been like if they were busy. Oh and by the way, they had 222 round boxes of Winchester 22’s in the back room. One box to a customer and only with firearm purchase.

Looks like snow...
Yeah that's the only thing I don't like about my Prius. Real bad in snow. That stupid traction control that you can't turn off kicks in and it goes no where. I park when it snows and use the F150. Has a posi and good ground clearance, never been stuck. But it only get 17 mpg

I too have a 2007. Bulbs are are very fiddley to change but it's doable. Toyota dealership told me the same chit. It's a lie. No need to remove bumper and the bulbs cost $6 each at Nappa. Prior models have a different headlight bulbs that cost $47 not sure what year they changed

X 2 at least on this this. I certainly do not fit the demographic but I too own a Prius. 101,000 trouble free miles so far and 42 MPG. For what it worth I also have an F150

My thoughts exactly. I never depend on network news for accurate weather or any thing else for that mater. My weather app (Weather Underground) predicted 3-5 for last two days even though network news was saying 10" to 18" IMHO take your TV out to the range and use it for target practice.

First Attempt At 10/22 Mods
With the help of a couple of You-Tube videos I managed to install a Kidd auto-release bolt, swapped out trigger, mag release, charging handle & barrel band. Also added a picatinny rail and topped it all off with a new BX 15 round mag. Think I need to get another one and I will try a barrel & stock swap along with worked trigger group.
