Time to VETO A2006 / S993 which are pointless, arbitrary and represent illegal takings and ex post facto laws. Call the Govs office and tell them you oppose these bills and demand a Veto. They are registering calls but not names or phone numbers, which is screwed up.

Very nice, I have never been fortunate enough to see one when I had a camera available.

Thanks. I took it with my Nikon D800e. Yes the new iii converter is amazing, much sharper than the older version ii.

Only read the initial post, did not see that further restrictions were later placed on it further down the process.

What? No love for the CZ-75b yet?

So I have not posted any photos in a while so here are a few backyard birds shot with my 70-200 f/2.8 lens wide open with the new Nikon TC-20e-iii teleconverter [details for those that know this crap ]

Yes, they are pack guns and need a playmate or two

Bought it from a place called Backyard Pool Superstore, they have their own web page and a store on ebay.

I'm with you on that for sure !

Don't know, but my guess is they will give me something off the shelf. Even if they could give me that serial I would think it would take a long time to do that. Just so happens I went in this morning to renew two permission slips that were to expire tomorrow.

Well I got the word today from Kimber that the gun is toast, a total loss. The frame is cracked and the slide is bulged. They offered me a new one for 30% off which I passed along to the ammo manufacturer. Here are the picture of the damage that they sent me: Frame crack Slide damage:

The Primal X3 arrived today and I immediately threw it in the pool. Looks like it is doing a good job.

Welcome, maybe we will see you at RTSP soon to go shooting

I think that is a little strong, especially if the existing system is over sized. If it were undersized the existing ducts might not handle increased flow, but with it over sized won't larger ducts be fine? I still think you need to run the heat loss calcs to determine what if any changes might be warranted.

As others have told you $1,000 for the labor on what probably is a warranty on the part only is not a bad price. The question is do you just want to get it fixed or do you want the system to work better. That is a question of how long you plan to live there and the trade-off between capital and operating costs and creature comfort. As others have also said you want at least two people to do a detailed heat loss calculation before you do anything. That does not mean they just type in 1,700 square feet on a house that is "X" years old and make assumptions. They actually need to measure all the outside walls and windows and take into consideration which windows face what direction and how much insulation is in the walls and attic. Only once this is done should you even consider changing the size of the unit or buying a new one. While short cycling does impact the life of the unit, it has more impact on how well the AC works. If it short cycles you will never remove all the humidity and you will have to make the house a lot colder to feel comfortable, which is costing you money in increase electricity. Bottom line, you can get away cheap (if you call $1k cheap) or you can spend a lot and do it right - that is something only you can decide what makes sense for the money.

That was my point, there is a separate line to each caliper or drum and don't they come from a pair of master cylinders so if one fails you still have half the braking system?

I did not think that was possible on modern cars. I always thought there were two sets of lines and cylinders so you would only lose 1/2 the brakes in such an event. Glad you are ok.

Looks like a nice day to be outside shooting, but already signed up for IDPA in Somerset today.

My guess is they have been so slammed with orders that they ran out of boxes and got the white ones and then slapped labels on them.

Since you like Glocks, and you want .40 cal then I would say go with the G35 unless you want something to conceal. I would go with the G35 over the G22 for its longer sight radius.

Then and Now After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep with a hot 23-year-old girl every night. Now, I have a $500,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 69-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things." My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV. Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy's problems.

Just drop that excess off at my house if you are running out of room, then you will be able to order more

Just got an email that unlimited shipping for just $5 is on again until end of day on May 18.

Well to even out this story one of my huskies a few years ago killed a small deer.

Just got my ammo I ordered with free shipping on 4/21 today, and scheduled for tomorrow is some I ordered with $5 shipping on 5/7 - hardly consistent.
