I don't like dodge trucks. I am OK with Ford and Toyota. Love that Honda in bed trunk. It has been a unique feature of the ridgeline since its launch. However, the ridgeline is unibody. It has no frame.

Very nice. Is this a statewide initiative or just your town?

I sent him an email through his contact form. I commended him for paying attention to his health. Nothing else.

I don't see how they can deny you a FPID for that though. I thought it was only felonies and misdemeanor dv. Only really crappy places like NYC deny you for traffic tickets.

Dude, you are waaaaayyyy off. The bills haven't even been debated on yet. They just made their way out of committee and will now be debated before the full senate. We have a whole section devoted to legislative alerts and rallies, check there they have some updates.

It will be hard for him. The big guy loves to eat and he loves junk food. I hope he can keep it up. I also hope it doesn't cloud his judgement as we need him to veto the anti gun bills.

Yeah but much has changed over the years. Home construction for one. Now your house must be within a small temperature range or your drywall will start to crack. We have indoor plumbing now too and pipes can freeze. We also have a well and need electricity to power the well pump. We don't have a hand pump for a 190' well (but we plan on getting one as a SHTF item). Some homes don't have a backup for their electric range or hot water heater. I took cold showers when I was growing up but I don't think I could do that in the winter. We also need electricity for the septic pump and vent fan for radon.

Yikes! I hope you're rich. At $2.50 a gallon, 480 gallons of propane will run about $1200. And that price estimate is on the low side...

So this happened to a friend of mine, and I thought of this thread. He was minding his business in his own home when he found some guy drunk and high in his foyer. He drew his 357 mag and the guy said, "shoot me I don't care." My friend held the intruder at gunpoint, called the cops, they came in guns drawn and took away the perp. Asked if my friend wanted to press charges. Incidentally this may not be typical since my friend is retired NJDOC (EJSP) but I don't think he told them that.

I think a lot of us are forgetting what it's like to carry a gun in America. In many states where you can't carry on your person you can carry the gun in the glove box. South Carolina, for example, doesn't recognize any nonresident permits. But when driving through SC you can put the gun in the glove box, no worries. Florida, same thing. No need to lock it in the trunk. In Pennsylvania you can carry the gun in your car with a permit from any state, even a NJ permit will work if you somehow manage to have a permit from NJ (right next to your unicorn hunting license). Even your FL permit which Kane said was no longer good will work. Outside of your car you can carry openly as long as it's not philly. And in some states, carrying without a license is a misdemeanor (disorderly persons offense in NJ speak) and a small fine. Here it is 7 years in prison and a "crime" (felony).

In NJ? Not if you're going between exempted locations. Out of state in an American state? No.

I went to visit the Hualapai nation and the grand canyon. It was hot but it was a dry heat which wasn't too bad. I met a nice couple who was running a "last outpost" kind of store along the way. They were from NJ.

Expect this to spur 3D printer manufacturers to now require printed files to be authenticated with a digital certificate. There's a reason you can't photocopy currency on some color copiers, and why every color laser printer puts a nearly invisible yellow watermark code on your prints.

I'd say run it once a month for about 10 minutes. It circulates the oil, moves fuel through the carb and evaporates moisture which may be in the oil.

Meticulous wouldn't cut it. It's actually illegal to backfeed without an interlock or approved transfer switch. You could be doing it meticulously for years but it only takes one incident to injure or kill linemen, or burn up your generator. With our transfer switch setup, my wife who knows nothing about electricity could use the generator. She just plugs it in and starts it up. No worries at all.

An inlet has male prongs, and the interlock is to ensure that main and gen breakers can't be on simultaneously. They should never be. The interlock physically assures this. Anything else is not code compliant, and illegal actually. Thankfully linemen nowadays ground the lines they are working on so any fool who backfeeds into the grid just ends up burning up his own generator.

Happened to my wife's coworker in lawnguyland. Problem is that a tree uprooted the line. Natural gas generator did not work of course. Even if you have a natural gas whole house generator, buy a cheap portable as a backup.

There is supposedly a 14 round version designed specifically for NJ.

I was reading up on this rifle as it is the subject of laws being proposed in the NJ legislature. Initially it had a 17 round tube now has a 14 round one to comply with NJ mag limits. It also seemed fairly cheap, less than $200. Hey I might get one, it's a fun rifle to use at the plinking range at cherry ridge. Anyone have one? With the 14 round tube built in it's NJ legal, right?

So I am sure a lot of you guys know this, but this was a real eye opener for me. That campaign poster where Christie was hammering Mike Carroll for not supporting gun control in NJ? Turns out the marlin 60 was banned by that very bill that Christie supported. It would be the ultimate in irony if he signs the bill to make it legal again.

Very true. I would also recommend preparing for extended times without fuel, at least 3 days. When power goes out many gas stations do not pump. Storms disrupt the fuel supply chain like it did with sandy too. If you have natural gas consider a quick disconnect like they use for BBQ grills and and a conversion kit for your generator. Otherwise get 4 or 5 Jerry cans and fill them up with fuel and put marine stabil in it. That will help with the moisture from ethanol. Use it out in your car once a year or so and fill fresh gas.

It is worth noting that with some heating systems the furnace blower may not start with a small generator. I would recommend at least a 5500w unit if you have forced air heat.

First amendment. Won't fly.

Pretty much. There's no split at this point, IIRC. Unless there are other cases and they are ruled differently.

If you have central air you can't use that either. The surge current is way too much.
