golly i wonder if this can or will be "adjusted" to only scan "right wing extremists"? rhetorical question.

cobra? as in ac cobra? 427? i even run the genny dry. i have just bought a used 6k propane powered genny too.

i tried using that shiit about 10 years ago. it's why i now have 2 snowblowers instead of one. the dam thing wouldn't start. i followed the directions on the bottle when i "mothballed" that blower for the summer. when i couldn't get it running, i ran out and bought another, because i wasn't really able to shovel. was gonna scrap the first one. couldn't make myself do that, so i brought it to the shop, and pulled the carb off. the thing was totally clogged. every single passage was gummed up. i pulled it apart, soaked it, used my torch-tip cleaners to run through the passages, and it runs, although i still didn't get it quite right. i need to leave the choke slightly applied for it to run right. i learned my lesson after that. i just rotate the gas now. things that're gonna get mothballed get run dry. haven't had an issue since. see above.

gas doesn't hold anymore. i keep 20 gallons in the garage. i rotate it every 6 months

i agree. the problem is that there is more money in treating the disease than there is in curing the disease.

i hadn't thought of that with wood stoves. i bought/installed my insert in 2014 when heating oil prices were spiking. or was it 2013? either way.....i get it. we did some troubleshooting on the waste oil heater yesterday. i texted pics of the area to the guy i deal with, and he was thinking transformer orburner blower shorted. both of those worked fine when powered individually. thinking i'm gonna end up replacing the transformer and flame sensor and see if it can last through the winter. then come summertime, i'll shop for some deals on a newer/bigger waste oil heater for the shop, and move this one home to my garage there.....which is separate from my house. the heater i'm running here now just barely heats this place when we get down into the teens. it's a 155k btu and by measurements it's plenty. but then take into account that the building's cinderblock with no insulation, and the bay doors are glass and are all giant heat leaks.....it's not enough. the guy i deal with refurbs these things too, and i can get a 300k btu for ballpark of $5k. that's good to know, 'cause i'm working on my upstairs which in my ancient old house has no plumbing/heat/ac at all up there. i'll be trying one of those up there this summer i think

i get it about 50/50 from doing oil changes in the shop, and the shop across the street gives me a couple hundred gallons a year too

i seem to recall having checked into that too, and i think waste oil heaters in a residential setting are illegal here. i might end up getting a couple high capacity propane heaters here to supplement the waste oil heater.....

a friend just brought that exact one over for a loaner. the other one i have will burn through a 20 pounder in 3 or 4 hours. it's 230k btu though. another friend has hanging 130btu propane heaters for sale. i'm waiting for the gas guys out in front of the shop to get restocked on their 20 pounders. gonna check with that company and see the cost of having a 100 pounder put in back of the shop and plumbed to those. they'll be used to supplement the waste oil heater.......or in times like this.

so....the only way i can afford to heat the shop comfortably is with a waste oil heater. installed it about 12 years ago, and it's been mostly trouble-free. had to replace the ignitor, flame sensor, and slide-out at different times, but that's been about it. till this past saturday that is. we're finishing up at the end of the day, and i go to park a car. come back in, and the shop's filled with smoke, and the heater's spitting more out. the burner had powered down, but the fan was still blowing and spreading the smoke. there was also smoke billowing outta the slide-out right above the burner motor. got up there, pulled power. found that the burner motor pooped the bed. and took most electrics in the burner assembly with it(that was the majority of the smoke i think judging by the smell). so now i'm stuck. the only reliable place i've been able to find for parts supply for this heater is out in millersburg ohio. i found them by accident, and couldn't find anyone like them close'ish. that's who i've gotten my parts from for the last almost 10 years or so. but.....it obviously takes time. i can't call up to order a new burner assembly for another hour or 3. once ordered, i'm figuring i'll be super lucky to see it by thanksgiving. and it's gonna run me 'round 1300-1400 bucks. so now, i'm running an old(like 20+ years old) propane heater till i can get this handled. can't obviously leave that run overnight though.

is that 400k net or gross? how about their insurance? and the pay for their instructors? and utilities?

i'm still not clear. is the 182a a state required form? or a form that some pd's are asking for and others aren't? because my dept sent me a copy of the 182 dated 9/23 which they want rather than the one dated 6/23 that i submitted. they said nothing about any other forms.

my dept never said anything about the sp182a?

didn't click the link. judging by the couple responses above me i'm guessing that the criminal general said pretty much no/never/nowaynohow. so now what we need is another scotus decision to force it on him. yeayea i know it's a childish outlook, but it'll be fun to watch.

LEWISTON, Maine — The Army reservist who killed 18 people and wounded at least a dozen more last week was involuntarily committed to a mental hospital in New York this summer after exhibiting erratic behavior during training, a hospital official told the Globe on Tuesday. It was the first confirmation that Robert R. Card II’s two-week stay at the hospital in July was involuntary. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/10/31/metro/gunman-had-been-involuntarily-committed-military-hospital/

we all know this. but we took a step in the right direction. none of us likes the law(s), but none of us wants to land in prison and/or become the test case either.

except for that involuntary commitment.......

i had already redone it. i've got the form sitting in my own file. i re-read the email from lpd, and they want me to email it. i don't have a way to scan it in, so i took a photo of it, and attached it to an email to the address they wanted. i'd been trying to call them today to find out if that was an acceptable way to do it, but they're not answering at the extension, so i'm hoping this is good.

i just got an email from my local pd asking me to get with my instructor to get requalified. i replied explaining that the form i submitted at the beginning of this year stated that i took the hqc2, and do i still need to requal. waiting on her reply.

wearen't a first world nation, and haven't been for decades. everyone just thinks we are.

considering that it's virtually impossible for all cops to know all the laws, i'm figuring that their gonna still think they have probable cause

see? to me, those business's that're putting up "no guns allowed" signs are pretty much saying.....don't worry, we got you. we're providing security. on that vein, those places not allowing guns into their business's should also be responsible for providing safe and secure storage of their customers firearms.

it's a case that would be a slam-dunk if fought well. someone should sue the crap outta them for just that.

every year i see them at the shop. tons of em
