isn't there something in the works to get ryan outta there?

you mean under the water?

moms cousin is in st pete....he's good. his son lives in naples. got hit hard, but generally ok'ish. dunno bout my brother, 'cause he doesn't talk to me anymore......

NOW i gotta go check their page. if i see nra get VERY strongly behind this, i'll donate in addition to my membership.

both the product and the company have good reviews on amazon. i'd have liked if someone local carried them so i could put hands on before buying.....but i can always return it too.

i think you got lucky man. weather channel's reporting over 8 million without power. that's gonna take a while to fix. stay safe. don't let your guard down till the whole thing's passed ya man.

that is also a reason for me to have kept my trap shut...i don't wanna be the reason for that, lol

yea.....beyond what i already said when i posted my vid, i gotta keep me trap shut....'cause ya lose friends when ya say some of the crap i'm thinking right now......

mom being a good mother tried to call my brother to check up on him, seeing as his dumb ass decided to leave the west coast THIS morning to head home to minneola. his daughter's home alone there. sadly(for her, but i know what she was gonna say before she said it) he didn't answer. because he's a douchenozzle. she also caller her cousin, who said that so far him and his wife are fine. also......aaannnnddddd so it begins?

seeing as i'm having zero lluck finding a used truckvault, i found one called monster vault on amazon. made for underbed, but supposedly tough enough to mount in the suv....so for less than a grand, i've got one on the way. it should be here wed.

yaknow? i'm gonna get crap for this question.........considering most of southern florida's turned into a ghost town right now.......have there been any reports of certain criminal activity?

I only vaguely remember him. i had a little left seat time with mike t.....and he also checked me out in the old cessna. i think it was a 62? friggin manual flaps, lolol. you remember that bodybuilder student? the guy that couldn't fly with the door on? i like all those guys. i REALLY truly hope all turns out as ok as it can for the school.

excellent point on the generators. i've only got the one big one....portable, but big.......think on that note, i'll be hitting home depot and get a smaller one too......

SHIT, REALLY?? we've probably met then. i used to hang out there after a days worth of flying r/c across the street. i was also in that CAP squadron. he'd opened up the simulator one night for my cadets.

it's not the same flight school there that teaches fixed wing. i don't want to say the name here.....they used to be on kvay. i flew with a couple of their instructors. i always felt safe with them(i couldn't fly a helo to save my life).

here's the thing. what is it? 1 gallon per day per person? of water. not too overly hard to find room for that. food.....just buy canned food. i believe a lot of the chefboyardee(or howeverthehell it's spelled) raviolis, spaghettios, etc can be eaten straight outta the can if need be. otherwise, what needs cooking can be done on a wood stove or over a small fire. not hard to find room for a couple weeks worth of canned food. gas,,,,,,,however many cars you own should ALWAYS be half tank or more. bite the bullet one time and fill 'er up. after that get it set in your mind that the 1/2 mark on your gauge is the empty mark. even if the poop hits when you've got only a half tank.....you're gonna be in better condition fuel-wise than a goodly 80% of the other drivers out there. if you've got a shed or separate garage, it's not hard to find storage room for a couple jerry cans of gas. just remember to rotate it a min. of once a year. you can possibly go longer, but stick to 1 year to be safe. lights......pay the extra bucks for a good one. this is an area where you truly get what you pay for. buy that 3.99 endcap special, and you're gonna get a 3.99 light that'll more than likely fail before you even get to use it much. streamlight has a fantastic lineup. i've sworn by them at the shop for over 10 years. the only reason i've had to replace one is 'cause i lost it. there's also another one....sabre. they make a good led work light, which is good for room lighting. i average about 4-5 hours runtime on those when using em under the hood. same thing....they take a pretty hefty beating, but they're not as durable as the streamlights. i've replaced a few of the sabers over the 10 years i've had my shop. anyway....that's my buzzed(apparently hoppes does that to me) 2 cents for the night.

looks like half of montgomery/gentry is gone. helicopter crash this afternoon right at the flying w(N14). i've flown in/out of that airport god knows how many times. looks like they were less than 50 yards short of the threshold. i used to know the guy that owns the flight school that he was flying with. guy normally is pretty meticulous with his maintenance, and generally hires scary good pilots. i'm not a big fan of modern country....but it still sucks to see this stuff. The pilot, 30-year-old James Evan Robinson, declared an emergency and was trying to land the helicopter on approach when they crashed around 12:30 p.m. in a wooded area on Fostertown Road in Medford at the airport. Troy Gentry, 50, half of the country duo Montgomery Gentry, was extricated from the helicopter and transported to Virtua Marlton Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Robinson, who had just recently moved to Medford Township, was pronounced dead on the scene. Robinson was a native of Meigs Georgia and was a helicopter pilot at the Flight School located at the Flying W Airport. http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2017/09/08/medford-helicopter-crash/

1) where is ocean armory? i don't do farcebook anymore. 2) is this deal still the deal?

got a spare car? there's 20 gallons of storage right there.

be safe man. they don't seem too sure of anything other than it's gonna hit there. my moms cousin lives in a trailer park...he's going with his wife to a friends old stone house about half hour away. i've been seeing traffic cam video showing almost all northbound routes pretty close to a standstill.

watching florida evac on the weather channel now. shit's crazy down there.

that's the part i don't know. i do know that i can refuse to deal with a customer at my business. i wouldn't personally try to search them if i thought anything illegal was going on. to me, that's wha the police are here for. and i have in the past called them on 1 customer that was a car salesman. one of those gypsies. 'cause every time he was here, i found needles, and little dope bags out on the lot. that shit don't fly here. they couldn't really do anything since i nor they didn't witness it, and they tried. they parked unmarked across the street. in the end, i kicked him off the lot. i ain't risking ANYthing because a drug addict(and face it, that's what alcoholics are) can't control himself.

every 11th person would be a pattern. random is just walking past the group, and picking random kids. that said......it was on private property, right? as in the schools property? and they were all underage students, right? i suspect that those two things combined makes this legitimate. i could be wrong on that though.

i'm not gonna read the article. by the title, i'm gonna assume it's written by a leftist commie/socialist that's trying to push their agenda of taking away more legally owned firearms, 'cause.......reasons.

guy selling on craigslist. yea....sometimes i'm a dumbass. i was thinking this morning as i drove in....i seem to recall seeing a 65" at wally world for less than 600 bucks......
