Figure out how to wire one up so that it thinks its connected to a HVAC unit, but really isn't

As much as I liked seeing her on TV, she doesn't look half as good in person- especially for only being 35. Lots and lots of makeup.

Nothing like the smell of Klotz and VP.

Wrapping it in tin foil will work, right?

...if they ever build it. They haven't even broken ground yet, and all we keep hearing is "next month". I love seeing the guys on 2 strokes at MX races still. There was a younger kid on a 80's Honda 2 stroke at the Loretta Lynns this year, and was doing pretty well too.

I already have tickets for it already A few new rookies this year, and a few guys stepping up to the 450's this year as well(as if the 450 class wasn't stacked as it is with super competitive riders). This season should be awesome.

Don't do it. It puts undue stress on your AC compressor(short cycling). My friend also had one and his AC compressor died within 3 weeks of it being installed(on an AC unit that was only 3 years old) and it caused his heater to run the same way during the winter. He threw it in the trash and installed a 3M-50 thermostat.

Does the warranty cover rental cars? Because you'll probably need it. My brother had a Range Rover, and that thing was in the shop more than it was on the road. I swear when he would start it up there was so many warning lights on on the dashboard that it probably needed a separate battery and alternator for them all

I always put a dab of anti-seize on the studs for the lug nuts. My wheels haven't fallen off, and I've always been able to get them off by hand with a lug wrench. My dad puts anti-seize between his aluminum wheels and the steel brake rotor too, it keeps the wheel from getting stuck to the rotor. I guess these mechanics who tighten them way too much with the impact guns want their customers to come back for the warped brake rotor replacement.

My friend just took his to Newark because there was no one local. There is Bernie's Foreign Car Service in South Dennis(Cape May County) that will work on a lot of the European cars. Might want to give them a shot.

I'm down for an informal net for NJ gun owners. Tell me a freq and time

I got into PSK31 a lot. I've drifted off and experimented with other modes(JT65), but haven't messed with cw yet. For me, Ham Radio Deluxe doesn't decode CW too well for me. I don't really have an interest in learning it myself.

True. I was just speaking generally, as most new tech's I've met don't have an interest in CW, but they do have 3.525-3.600 MHz CW only, 7.025-7.125 MHz CW only, 21.025-21.200 MHz CW only, 28.000-28.300 MHz: CW, RTTY/Data(max 200w PEP), 28.300-28.500 MHz: CW, Phone(max 200W PEP).

My first HF rig was an FT840. I'm into a lot of the digital communication modes, so I wanted something a little more computer friendly. Currently running a Kenwood TS-480SAT.

Some ham bands are shortwave frequencies(HF- High frequency), but shortwave is typically "commercial: broadcasts like BBC or Radio America. What people commonly refer to as shortwave are one way communications. Ham operators are ordinary people transmitting back and forth- like you and I talking. My one ham radio- a HF radio- will do CB frequencies, but I can't use it as it transmits way over the legal limit(and is even over the legal limit on low power)...CB is regulated to 4 watts on AM, and 12 on single side band. There are three classes of Ham radio licenses currently issued to newcomers. Technician is your base license. You get to operate a whole lot of stuff with this, mostly VHF and UHF, and a tiny bit of one HF band. General is the next step up, which gets you the majority of the HF bands. Extra is the highest, allowing you full privileges on the amateur bands. I currently hold a general license. I took the extra exam at the time I took my general exam, but I hadn't studied for the extra portion at all. Still only missed it by 3 questions. I'll eventually upgrade, but I need to get the new book and read up on it. The ARRL has a ton of info on getting licensed, and they also sell all of the books that you could possibly need to study to ensure you pass the test. As most of you know, you don't have to do morse code anymore. http://www.arrl.org/getting-licensed Any questions feel free to PM me or post them up and I'll do my best to answer them for you.

Christie vetoed the bill, back in September.

Didn't you know? State workers, unlike the rest of us, are unable to squeeze in the 5 minutes to vote around their work schedules.

I soldered ours, but since you went onto the sharkbite fitting subject, I should mention that they actually make flexible lines with sharkbite fittings on them. Makes it VERY easy.

I just replaced the natural gas hot water heater here. It had been leaking at the top for quite some time(very slow.. one drip every 5 minutes at most). Finally one day I went out in the garage, which has indoor/outdoor carpet, and when I walked back into the house my shoes were wet. Went and looked and sure enough it was leaking really bad. Cost me about $500 to replace it myself, including parts. Not too bad. New one seems to heat the water faster too.

So now NJSP is requiring the 212A form be done online. They claim it will save time. But now it's costing $20 vs $18, and you have to use a credit card or electronic check. No more money orders. So now, we have to have a checking account, and pay even more to exercise our 2nd Amendment rights. I'm not really complaining over the $2, but I find it absurd that we have to pay fees at all, just to exercise our rights. Will the state be charging $20 for the permit to speak freely? Or the $20 fee to read books, plus a $2 fee for each book? Or maybe a $20 fee to protect yourself against unreasonable searches. It's $68.50(fingerprinting fee) to keep the government from placing troops in your home. ...see where I'm going with this?

Another question...out of curiosity... why are you still using roll pins on the base plates if they can't hold more than 15 rounds?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Yes, and they got into a pissing match with NJSP, because people were carjacked by police impersonators who pulled people over in a minivan(contrary to what some have said about police impersonations not being a big deal in NJ).

One of the local towns has had a few cars like this for a few years now:

I made a total of 200 sacrifices to unlock everything except the option to kill Joe. You have to have 999 Trillion G's of meth on hand to unlock the last option on the second page to kill him. As far as Halloween, it's already out. They have zombies(another "level" of cooks), but it's only available to people who donated or cheated. From what I saw, they aren't that great(1.4 million g/sec of meth).
