Thanks for sharing. Took couple of days to go through but great practical advice. Prepping without looking like prepper. Investing in market: "3.2.1 Dealing with normal inflation". I wish I can find a mom&pop shop, a paper mill, a staple electronics, home & office supplies or a basic metals company(ies) to invest in without expecting too much. However, I am yet to find one that wouldn't go out of business before any S&P disappears all together. The entire industries are changing rapidly and small companies are going belly up under severe competition and threat of larger, more divested companies. If anyone knows good, stable businesses to invest in, I am all ears. But for now, S&P and/or select diversified funds have to do it. Gold: I was reading bunch of articles related to inflation adjusted prices of various commodities (and stock market in general). For lot of different reasons, Gold turns out to be a terrible long investment (adjusted to inflation) in the last 100 years. People may flock to it in times of stress, but long term, it lost against general market. Dow atleast performed inline (but slightly below) inflation. I guess it makes sense in certain way . Health & Skills (both defensive and job): I love how author elaborated on this. I think this is often overlooked in typical prepper material. Its critical that everyone get on to continued education, hobbies and new skills.

Thanks GB. Appreciate it. I am going to give it a shot this weekend and see how it goes.

Forget cameras. Here is a better solution...

I dont understand why some are stuck on "does it allow carry with non resident permit". It should not matter. I like the senate bill to pass even if it means NJ citizens cannot carry but other residents can carry in NJ. That in itself is a HUGE achievement and stepping stone in right direction.

Yep, $1100. Radiator at Honda parts cost is like $450. I am sure hoses are $100 each and then labor. I ordered radiator from RockAuto for $100 including shipping. Good time to buy some tools and still end up on top. While I understand that dealers have to make money for the infrastructure, salaries, insurance etc, these guys want $110+ for air filters. Thats on sale, regular is like $170+. Its like they don't want customers. Interestingly, they charge $30 for oil / filter change, multi-point inspection with full report that I usually read and fix things myself. Except this time around, I failed to read it :-(.Jack&Jill reporting to duty, Sir. The coolant is GONE within 24 hours. Unfortunately I didnt check frequently to know if its gone over night or during day. Driveway being wet from the rain, didnt provide much clue. Took to "professional dealer" this morning and ponied up 140+ for diagnostics. While they were checking, I was going through some stuff and guess what I find ? A multi-point inspection report from last oil change at dealer. Lo and behold, the report said "radiator leaking".....What the F.... The second inspection comes back and says the same thing - "radiator leaking". And $1100 estimate to replace radiator. So after $144 out of pocket to tell me the same thing I ignored to read first time around. They also came back with laundry list of items that total to about $6700. The van is probably worth $3000. I ordered replacement radiator and some tools for a DIY project. I am going to be busy for a while. Note: Thank you everyone for jumping on this one with urgency. And I know that I am idiot for not reading the report :-(Toys are for inexperienced. Real Men use tong......oops, wrong thread.Correct but we have come FAR FAR FAR FAR, FAR AWAY from it. Incorporation against States was used for both good and bad. We are never going to un-incorporating all of it. Given where we are AND the fact that 2A is recently incorporated (atleast by decree of SCOTUS), its only logical to use it to kick Nazis like NJ. IT IS about 2A grounds. The core of the issue is, can a person who exercises an incorporated right in his/her state, exercise same incorporated right in another State of the Union, (this is critical) following the LAWS of the host State. The bill is carefully crafted, even with words such as "A State that allows Concealed Carry". The bill is NOT forcing anything on a State, other than simply asking out-of-state people have same privileges as in-state. In fact, NJ (and other Nazis) are free to remove Concealed Carry all together and bypass this Bill. This Bill also strategically uses "Interstate Commerce", for the same IC was used as grounds for most of the Feds Gun Control laws that states like NJ come to LOVE. They cannot have the cake and eat it too.You may be right in that Nazi States like NJ may challenge this in Supreme Court. But the issue of NJ has to goto Supreme Court anyways (as NJ dictators will never ever allow carry on their own). So if this situation helps expedite getting to SCOTUS faster, then it may not be a bad thing. My gut feeling it that NJ will NOT challenge this in SCOTUS, for the scumbags know what they are doing is patently UNCONSTITUTIONAL. What they may do is take advantage of other "not yet incorporated" rights, such as excessive fines (8A). I could be wrong, but what if NJ says any out-of-state resident caught in school zone (redefine to include a 1000 ft circle no matter what) will get mandatory 20 year sentence ? Next, The 2A is already incorporated against States. So any law favoring enforcement of that incorporation cannot be illegal (atleast thats common sense). ------- Right to keep and bear arms This right has been incorporated against the states. Described as a fundamental and individual right that will necessarily be subject to strict scrutiny by the courts, see McDonald v. City of Chicago (2010). Self Defense is described as "the central component" of the Second Amendment in McDonald, supra., and upheld District of Columbia v. Heller 554 U.S (2008) concluding the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the Second Amendment right, recognized in Heller, to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense. The 14th Amendment makes the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms fully applicable to the States, see, McDonald vs. City of Chicago (2010). "The right to keep and bear arms must be regarded as a substantive guarantee, not a prohibition that could be ignored as long as the States legislated in an evenhanded manner," McDonald, supra.. ----------------I guess the Wang in that situation would not be "manifestly appropriate" :-) NJ 2C:39(d) d.Other weapons. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any other weapon under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.Employment is a question on the application. They may put a question on reference letter pretending to be verifying the information you submitted. They may be looking to see if the applicant lied on the application. You can put student, unemployed, self employed, n/a on that question and they cannot deny just on that aspect, unless of course you answer that with NYFU, MYOB, BUM etc. MYOFB could fly if you can elaborate it as MY Own Fixing Business, like the one you have :-)Ok. checked the coolant level and I canNOT see any coolant in the reservoir. F.So how does this generally work ? Is the hot coolant from engine redirected to heater core instead of radiator ? If so, what the cooling system or its levels got to do with this ?never :-). I just asked buddy for some time to check the cooling system level.How does water come into picture that @Malsua mentioned ?
