Where did the oil go?
So, my daughter’s boyfriend stopped by for a while last week and his car sounded really rough. I suggested to him he have it checked out. It’s a 2013 Subaru Forester and he claimed he had had it serviced about a month ago. So today they drive from Hoboken to Morristown, he stayed there and my daughter drove it to her grandmother’s in Mendham. When she pulled in it sounded bad and actually stalled. I started it up and then quickly shut it down as it sounded like a bearing. I opened the hood and saw no oil on the dipstick. So, I drove home and grabbed a 5 quart bottle of oil, and a partially filled quart to pour it in so as not to make a big mess with the five quart jug. The car lists the capacity as 5.5 quarts. Well to get it to the full line on the dipstick I was shocked to use, you guessed it, the full 5.25 quarts – holy shit. I turned it over twice and then let it sit a while to allow the oil to adhere to stuff. Started it up after a few minutes and it sounded just as bad as before so I quickly shut it down. Daughter said, well I guess I can drive it back to Morristown – I told her hell no you need to have it towed, even though I imagine the engine is toast. So the question is how can you go through that much oil on a fairly new vehicle to run it almost dry. It had sat in my driveway for three days a couple of weeks ago and there were no leaks on the driveway.

Just saw a few minutes ago on Facebook a thread about a 25 year old male GSW to the chest at 961 Route 10, which I believe is RTSP. Does anyone know if this is true, sure hope not.

CED7000 timer only $79 at Target barn
Sorry, guess I got one of the last ones. I have an app on my iPhone called Surefire Shot Timer that works very well, it even picks up the clicks of the hammer on my double action guns when I dry fire if I set the sensitivity up. Unfortunately I just looked and I don't see it listed in the Apple store anymore, and it was free too.

Borrowing a gun
Sorry Bruce, but I don't think you have a leg to stand on there. This is no different than your wife owning a $200,000 car and you insisting you should be able to drive it when you don't have a driver's license. I think in the event of divorce you would have fair claim to half it's value, but without that driver's license you have no claim to be able to drive it on public roads.

Borrowing a gun
Yes! and you probably earn less jail time for stealing a kidney than borrowing a gun in the People's Republic of New Jermany!

Daily humor thread
- Easton now three gun only as of march.
Sorry you could not make it. It was a great match and we used muzzle safe points, not the 180; so some shots were well over 200 degrees (20 degrees or more beyond the 180).- Daily humor thread

I'll consider one five years after they are required as the only gun that law enforcement and body guards are allowed to use. By that point there will be enough dead politicians and law enforcement officers that the stupid technology will be pulled from the market and the company making then has been sued out of existence for producing a defective product.- Maintaining Energy Throughout a Match

I would not want to live next to one, but wait before you flame me. I would not want to live next to a doctor who had a home office either. I would not want any home business with lots of cars and people coming and going in my residential neighborhood. But if I had to take one, an FFL would be as good or better than any other.- Reflections - just another picture
