Only in the Socialist People's Republic of New Jermany, stupid politicians! So now I can't let my Huskies roam in the cold even though they love it and start scratching at the door after I bring them in because they want to go back outside. Now you are a criminal if you leave your dog outside when it is above 90 degrees. The corrupt rich politicians that live in their climate controlled mansions seem to forget that when it is 90 out many homes are over 100 degrees because not all the people that pay their salaries have air conditioning as they can't afford it with the high taxes we have been inflicted with by our lords in Trenton. http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/08/christie_signs_tougher_animal_cruelty_laws_for_nj.html

I purchased refurbed stuff direct from the dell website or I think also they have a separate refurb web site. You have to hit the stuff when they are having a sale, which seems like at least once a month, then you apply the discounts on top of that.

Take a look at Ubiquiti Networks AmpliFi HD system or their industrial UniFi system. I have their AmpliFi HD mesh router and it is amazing. You have one main router that is a 4" cube that looks like an Apple device - then you have a pair of remote nodes that form the mesh in your house. The range is crazy. It covers every nook and crevice of my house and I even get great signal out at my pool. You can tie together the 2.4 and 5 gHz bands and the devices just pick the one with the better throughput. Simple to use and they are constantly coming up with firmware upgrades to improve it. You can even tie a second system with a wired backhaul for a really big house or special issues you might have. Highly recommend it.

Try SNOWE6430 as a code at Dell.com, it claims 50% of a refurbed laptop with free shipping. That is the machine I got an e6430 with the i7, 4gigs ram and a 320gig 7200rpm drive and really nice 14" display for $245.

Search online for discount codes for Dell Refurbed machines. I recently got a Dell i7 notebook with a 48% off coupon that cost me less than $250 and looks brand new. These are typically corporate leased machines and they replace any parts that are not in excellent condition.

I've had my stainless TEC grill for over 20 years. They are expensive, but you pay for what you get. It is natural gas (can work on propane too) but the burners are totally different. It is infrared. Each of the two burners is ceramic with 15,000 tiny holes. The entire surface just glows red with no flame. It heats up to something like 1600 degrees. They warn you when you have it on high not to close the top as the stainless steel will melt. To cook a steak you cook it about two minutes on each side on high then turn it to low and cook another 5 to 10 minutes. You end up with a steak that is charred and seared on the outside and rare and juicy on the inside.

Better let Loretta and friends know about this ASAP so they can write a law to ban it

Seems very strange they would eliminate this ported slide rather than just add the standard model. I am having trouble believing the weight they list on the standard as it is exactly the same as the ported model at 26 ounces - I would have expected it to be heavier since there is more metal.

Sorry I am terrible at keeping records and just at looking at them I don't see any model numbers. But if you go to their web site it should not be hard to figure out. Please not if I were to buy any holster now it would likely be from the Ben Stoeger pro shot and be with the Boss hanger which I have found to be the best for a drop offset holster for competition in production.

I have a Com Tac drop offset that I use for production and a Safariland GLS for IDPA.

The PPQ 5" M2 is wonderful just the way it comes, probably the best out of the box trigger I have ever seen. That said I did change the trigger return spring which takes 12 ounces off the trigger pull. I also put the smallest backstrap on it and then wrapped the grip in rubber tennis or golf grip tape as the grip gets a little slippery for me otherwise. Oh wait, I also changed the sights to Dawson Fiber optics. You are correct about the rebates, they are currently offering $100 off, which makes it even better. Some like the Q5 match, which is a very similar gun with an optics mounting plate (like a Glock MOS) and a different trigger. Some like the Q5 trigger better - I don't. It has less take up and over travel but I find the pull a lot harder.

Try the PPQ 5" M2 way better than the 4". Can't go wrong with either the SP-01 or the 5" M2.

Congrats on the new SP-01. I have one and really like it. They are fairly easy to get parts for and if you really want to improve on it check out CZ Customer and Cagun Gun works for parts and support. Kind of surprised about your comment that they are good for people with big hands (the Beretta definitely is) as I would say I have average hands and think the gun has a small grip compared to other and find it fits my hands perfectly. I got rid of my 92FS because the grip was so large I had to rotate my hand and then reacquire my grip to hit the mag release.

Go shoot some knockdown steel and you will learn to love steel. They are really fun matches.

Steel plates just mess with your head, they are similar size to the "A" zone and bigger than the head. Aim small and miss small.

I love the early start time there, and the match moves quickly. I was on the road at 1:05pm. The only thing I don't like is the fine silt or sand in the pits that really does a job on your magazines. At the end of the match when unloading mags one of my G35 mags seemed like very little spring tension and then the ammo seemed like it was just falling out when I held the mag upside down. When it was empty I looked in and saw one round still in there sitting on the follower that was about three inches down jammed in place. Note to self - take all mags totally apart and clean out today.

YES, what did you do to make it show up that way???

Am I missing how, or is it just not possible?

Not a huge fan of little dogs, but my daughter left her little rat dog at camp Husky for the weekend, so I took some pictures of her:

Just imagine if the state shut down or even slowed the processing of welfare checks! That is right, they would burn down the four big cities and riot.

I'm not working Monday, or Tuesday through Sunday, or any other days ever again [emoji4] Gave that crap up about six years ago.

I understand your thinking, but in the event of a ban it seems to be an illegal taking to require you turn in your mags or sell them at a loss out of state. We should be ready if all else fails to DEMAND fair and just compensation. Actually such a demand up front could make the cost of implementing so onerous that they would not dare when the public sees how much it will cost to do nothing of value.

I doubt anyone is going to go looking for them, just like it is rare for anyone to go looking for you not carrying your driver's licence, insurance ID card or registration paper work. BUT when you get stopped they check for all those thing. So, if you get stopped for something else you might get checked for this. But I digress. We need to stop banning things, we all know how well that worked for Prohibition and the war on drugs. Banning things only takes them away from people that will never do anything bad with them - our legislators seem to forget that the definition of a criminal is one that does not obey the law.

Too bad if it costs them money, what right do they have to "condemn" my property and not compensate me for it. If they have to raise taxes on everyone to screw gun owners well so be it as well. Why should we get screwed AND have our property taken.
