Huskies in the Snow
Nope, their fur is like a thermos. It keeps hot stuff hot and cold stuff cold -- but how does it know? They like to sun bathe on the blacktop driveway when it is 95 degrees our and lay on the ice in Feb when it's 5 degrees out.

Glock 19Gen4
All fine if you gun is a range toy. If its for HD you probably should not mess with the trigger and springs and such. IF you ever have to use it for HD the general feeling is lawyers love to go after you for that type of mods. If you plan to use it for competition in Production for USPSA or SSP for IDPA read the rules before you go making some of the mods you suggested.

Huskies in the Snow
Today was their day, they loved it. My Prius did not want to go out in the snow, so I did not get to the range to shoot my guns but I did get out to shoot my cameras:

The Obsessive lawn care neighbor
I'm one of the few people that has a lawnmower, or even knows how to use one where I live. Just about everyone else pays someone else to do it for them.

Cabela's - 9MM FMJ Herter's Steel $8.99/50
So what is the story with steel Ammo? Is this stuff bad for your guns? I understand you can't reload it, but if I don' care about that is it worth buying to save money or should it be avoided????

Where are you and how much snow did you get?
You got me. I did it because as he said it was easy and I did not have to even put my shoes on I saw he had one of a Husky in the snow too, I did that also. So here is another one (also from just inside the warmth of my house):

Woke up this morning all prepared to go out and sun bathe, and found this:

California’s 10-day “waiting period” ruled unconstitutional
So if 10 days is unconstitutional, what about OGAM? Is that three times as unconstitutional????

Thanks for the clarification. I think we were talking about the fixed time as stage one and the classifier as stage two, but your pointing it out will help others that might have been confused. I guess the good shooters must have stayed away, as I finished 3rd in production and did not feel I shot that well at all. I screwed up stage three trying to be fast. Rather than aim at the close one I was point shooting and had two Mikes on one target (-20 in penalties!) yet on the far target I put two shots into a group the size of a nickel. It just proves that slow and smooth is faster than rushing beyond your comfort level. What I really enjoy about these matches is that people are always trying to be helpful and you can pick up tips from what others observe be they Grand Masters or "D" shooters. One person pointed out to me something I sort of knew but now it is really reinforced. I know you need to slow down some for steel, but I have fallen into a trap that I wait for the steel to drop before taking the next shot - I need to just shoot and assume they will drop and take corrective action if warranted later rather than wait a second or two after each shot to observe results.

Next indoor range design.. longer port walls for the rifle guys..
Maybe you should go to the other indoor range in the area that has one range that is for handguns only You get brass kicked at you even from handguns when people stand far forward. Most people are nice and are happy to step back when you point it out, but some are real ass-holes about this and just say too bad.

Sorry, that was my fault - I should not have mentioned it was a classifier. I thought I would have trouble on the 4.5 second stage but was very pleased to have beat the clock on it. For those not there it was the first time I have seen a stage like this. You started facing away from the course of fire which six targets. After you made ready the RO had a person go down range and place Santa Hats on two targets, they became no shoots. At the buzzer you had 4.5 seconds to turn, draw, identify which four targets to shoot at and put two rounds on each of those four.

I must be slow today (well the match proved that) but I guess you are saying it was the only match you shot this month. It was the first one that I ever shot with a fixed time stage. That was interesting. Did not think I could do it in the time allowed, but I did!

Place to get cheep steel rims?
I purchased (new) on eBay. But they have used too. I got the names of a few outfits from eBay and then actually called them to get the right ones about a year or two ago.

Tire pressure monitor systems
My friend has them in his Audio and each time he changes to his winter tires (on separate rims) and then back to summer tires he has to pay to have the sensors recalibrated - what a rip-off.

Securing my Generator
The bonding at the pool ties to everything including the panel and is grounded so that acts as a second ground to the entire system. I too have a ground for the main panel and a second one about thirty feet away tied to the water line just before the meter.
