Lot of good info here. Indoors, the front sight is slightly blurry. I just had my first eye exam in 15 yrs. and the doc said I need a slight correction,but no need for glasses yet (other than reading glasses). I have safety glasses that have a 2.0 reading glass area at the bottom of the lens, but i have to raise my head to see the front sight through the reading lens part. Funny thing is, when outside I can see better and just use regular safety glasses, which is much more comfortable and accurate (I shoot right hand and am right eye dominant).

Or another meet!

Welcome, from Mercer too. I'd tell you it's a great place with some great people, but you already know that.

Maybe kinda weird, but I guess I'm lucky that me and the neighbors are neighborly. No one's out early on the weekends or after dinner time (some have little ones). We also wait if someone's having a picnic or something, there's always tomorrow. But like Ryan said, count your blessings, it almost always can be worse. Well, time to go start up the snow blower.

Is that Brandon Jacobs in the F1? Wanted to see the race in Baltimore, but it just never worked out with my schedule.

Happy Thanksgiving and Chanukah, heard this combo won't happen again for another 77K years! Stay safe, healthy, and enjoy time with family and friends.

Congratulations, very nice addition! Please post pics when upgraded. Are you and Bob millionaires?

Wait, what "old fudd forum"? There shouldn't be any secrets among fellow njgf brethren. Anyway, hope everyone has an enjoyable and safe Thanksgiving.

Figures, no money, no permits. I would if I could, that model's got the pinned barrel and recessed cylinders?

Jay, I'd do the same, and more, for my sons. Can't help in your son's situation, but the great people here who could, have stepped up as usual. Wonder if the negative respondent would have had an issue if it was a friend or co-worker of yours. Good luck to your son.

Congratulations on a very nice addition, don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm really enjoying my GP 100, but would love to add a 686 (pre)-4 someday.

half of my handguns are revolvers too, EXCEPT I only own two handguns. Heck, every time Bob posts pics of his latest acquisitions there's AT LEAST two! I bet the 624 is nice too, probably to add to the other dozen 624s. I am not, jealous, I am not jealous...

Welcome, This is definitely an excellent forum. In the past 6 months I've learned so much, and have met some great people. That brand specific forum you belong to doesn't happen to start with an R does it?

Topher, Amazon is showing it for $13 and midwayusa has it for $18. Looks like an interesting read since it's still readily available.

Congratulations! You're right in saying you purchased your FIRST handgun, because there'll be another, and another, and....

Welcome, also from Mercer. And you are right about the quality people here and the invaluable info they're willing to share.

The rock pile looks like it's from the rock base that's spread before concrete is poured. If the critter got through a crack or hole in the concrete it probably had to dig the rock out of the way to get underneath. I vote groundhogs too, unless you are near a body of water, then I'd go with rock lobsters.

It was painful, very painful. The problem is, if they sit Eli who do they have? Painter? We all know how well that worked out for the Colts when big brother Manning went down. Might as well give the kid from Syracuse a shot while Eli gets his head straight. Except it ain't just the QB. Good night.

Thanks Bob, After a long day, I needed that!

Don't know how to attach links and stuff, but just read on foxnews that a police officer was asked by his daughter's principal to not wear his uniform when bringing her to Entz Eementary School. It seems some parents were concerned that he was carrying his firearm. Maybe Phoenix is different from the rest of AZ, but how ridiculous can it get. You would think they'd encourage it instead.

I'm no mechanic by any means, but I do my own fluid changes. Brakes every 3 yrs., differential every 15K, trans. every 35K, coolant every 5 yrs. and oil (with mobil 1 synth) every 5-6K. I order honda fluids online and save some cash, except now it goes to buy ammo.

Generally speaking, I don't register most big ticket items since the receipt should cover warranty issues. I did register my Beretta because they offer a 2 yr. warranty extension if you do.

From my limited experience, it is a little late for a 529, but the tax benefits might be worth it. I went with Utah's 529 because it gave the best returns, and NJ's sucked. You can also select different levels of risk, the money can be used for educational needs other than tuition, i.e. laptop, books, etc., and can be passed on to another if the child doesn't attend college. You might want to talk to a financial adviser (Maksim?) also, it's worth the investment. Good luck with Rutgers.

I travel about 25 minutes to an indoor range once a month. I'd love to go more, (correction-I'd REALLY love to join CJRPC) but it presently runs me about $60 a month counting range fee and ammo (I bring my own). I'm also currently saving for my next gun purchase and buying ammo so it's a little tight right now.

Since I'm still pretty new to handguns, I'm super careful when I dry fire (and expect to stay that way). After clearing the gun, ammo in the other room where I keep it, I use tipton snap caps with the spring inside. I practice in front of a mirror to check for sighting, trigger pull, jerking, etc. I have to be careful, it's my wife's favorite mirror.
