Older m1 tracer ammo
Hey guys I have some older m1 tracer round that have been sitting in my safe for a while and was looking for any info you guys could give me on them. I am thinking about selling them to free up some cash towards something I may actually use. Also if I decide to sell them what would be the best place to do this dealer, armslist, gunbroker etc.. Here are some links to the images.

Potholes

Potholes
I think some of these pothole issues are also that NJ does not know how to even build a proper road with appropriate foundation and drainage.. Yes this winter has been extremely bad and the roads are horendus. However if you head north to go skiing snowmobiling etc.. they deal with the weather every year yet their roads do not have near the same amount of potholes.. I grew up in New England as well and most of the roads up there were designed to keep water running away from the roads so it does not get undernear and cause these frost heaves blowing up all these pot holes... Just my 2 cents I could be wrong but I think NJ uses the cheapest bids to build these roads instead of the best quilfied.. Either that or the political friends get the contracts to build the roads...

Fish aquariums
I have a 55 gallon with a red ear slider as well and he probably has a year or 2 left in that tank. We got him about 7 years ago when he was donated to my wifes classroom as a baby... come summer time no one wanted to deal with it so we ended up bringing it home then the next year she got moved to a different classroom and we ended up having it ever since... when he outgrows the 55 not sure what we will do with him. I do live right next to a small pond with other turtles but I would be afriad he would not be able to fend for itself.

PRODUCT RECALL!!! NOTICE WINCHESTER® 22 LR RIMFIRE AMMUNITION
I read they were made around april of 2013 but who knows exactly. I checked mine last night and mine are gd32 so I am good to go. On rimfire central supposedly they were sending checks to cover the recalled product not new ammo. Hopefully that is not the case since its so fun to try and get 22lr right now.

A public service announcement.
302 Do you have anywhere local you purchase any of your supplies or do you just get them online. I figure I am going to try this out.. I also know from cleaning out my grandfathers back in the fall he had a few straight razors and I would assume some safety razors. I will have to wait for spring when My parents return home from the winter in FL to Mass to find out what he had.

A public service announcement.
How about those of us that shave their whole head? I usually use a fusion with the batterys while in the shower and just go by feel. If i miss any spots on my head I can feel them with a quick relather then just make a couple of passes and my head is smooth.. I am will look into these since I hate paying $40 or so for blades but I would be concerned about cutting my head all up.

Advice on 22lr handgun for plinking & fun
RTSP did have a rent buy caliber and I believe they still do I just have not used it since buying my own guns. However I did try the Sig Mosquito, Ruger sr22(which my wife bought) the ruger Mark 3(which I bought) and the S&W M&P22 all in their rental inventory. You just rent the caliber for $10 and then you have to buy the ammo for the rent though them.

Four Wheeli'n Thomas Ave Pit..
Yep it used to be a great place to ride every weekend I could here tons of ATV's and Dirtbikes ripping though the woods behind my house.. The only brightside I have about it is after all this went down the amount of Idiots and trash left behind in the woods has greatly disappeared. So now when I do venture out the trails are nice and quite as well as a lot cleaner then they used to be.

Four Wheeli'n Thomas Ave Pit..
Yes you can defiantly register and insure Atv's in this state both mine and my wifes are. Dirtbikes and old threewheelers or a no go though. I also live right beside the watershed and although oneshot is correct they do not patrol much at the moment due to budget issues a couple of years ago they had a good sized grant from Homeland Security and they had a dozen or so employes on Polaris atvs and Rangers. If they caught up to you your machine was impounded and you were facing a minimum of $300 in fines. It all stemed from our lovely system that allows idiots to sue. 7 years ago a guy dies up there on Newyears day, He decided after a Night of partying a drinking he would ride up to one of the rocky cliffs and watch the sunrise. Well he rode right over the edge and died so His family sued Newark watershed for allowing people to trespass. Right after that for a year or two it was almost impossible to eventhink about riding up there. I would only head out in the evenings on weeknights to avoid any chances of getting caught.

Why Is NJ Not Ready For Snow?
I also grew up right on the NH border in Mass and yes northern New england may have less dense population but I used to commute 55 miles each way in and out of Boston I would take that commute any day over a 15 mile commute here in NJ... People around here just do not have any common sense when it comes to snow or what good snow tires can do. I use to drive a Ford Lightning and that thing was absolutly horrible in the snow...Until I put on bridgestone Blizzaks. I can honistly say I could go most places that 4 wheel dirves could go with those tires. I drove to Killington VT almost every weekend in that truck skiing and never once got stuck even in a foot of snow, and trust me I never drove slow. The other thing when I was learning to get my license I can say a lot of people went to empty parking lots every storm and intentionally skidded around and learned how to break and how to drive into a skid... most importantly how not to panic went you did go into a skid.. I firmly believe when my kids get old enough to learn driving I will bring them to open parking lots and teach them how to control a skidding vehicle. Of course this cannot save you from other idiots but it helps you become a better and more conciensus driver overall.

Buying a car, is better to buy it outright or make payments?
One other thing you should never rule out is finding a great older used vehicle. Sometimes these can be a real steal if you have any mechanical abilitys. I have a 3rd "weekend" truck a 1995 GMC suburban I picked up 4yrs ago for $2500. It only had 125,000 miles on it, it was rust free but needed a paintjob due to having that white paint peel GM had issues with back in the 90's, needed the AC fixed and the 4wheel drive looked at... I fixed all those things 4yrs ago and drive this truck every weekend to the stores, Lowes, Vacation, etc... I have put 30,000 miles on it with relativly few issues, it is only $450 a yr to insure gets between 14-16 mpg so not counting gas it has only cost me under $1500 an year to own and if I were to sell it tomorrow I could get about half my money back making it around a $1000 a yr cost of ownership... Which I love to point out to some friend who have prius's and are paying thousands per yr just in their loans for a vehicle that has no resale value.

Buying a car, is better to buy it outright or make payments?
I also agree you should finance, like it has been said before you need to establish good credit and the best way is to have loans. However you really need to do your homework and find the best rates, best pricing for the car you are interested in. Also sometimes it is much better to get a great deal on a 2yr old car coming in off a lease. Quite often you can get one with low milage and a cetified preowned warrenty. My last 2 cars I bought certified got 2.4%financing for 5yrs 100,000 mile extended drivetrain warrenty and other items. My acura I got out the door for $15,000 off the original price with only 18,000 miles on it. My wife is still driving it 10yrs later with 180,000 miles on it and I even had the trans replaced under the extended warrent which would not have covered it if I had bought new. My second car a nissan maxima I did not do quite as well I jumped a little quick from selling my truck the day before, but I still got a decent price about $12,000 less than new it was 2 yrs old it had 22,000 miles on it. I do not drive a whole lot but 3 yrs later its only has 58,000 miles and is worth $5,000 more than I owe on it so I can bail out of it at any point if I need to for any reason. I could have bought either of these cars new but the finance rates were not much better and they both actually had worse factory new warrenties then their certified ones.

Finally picked up my new pistol
Congrats I searched a lot for an M1 but I had to break down and get the m2 before the permits ran out.. The m1 release is also a great feature for leftys. The m2 is still a sweet gun and shoots great.

Good sharpener (home use, and/or pocket sharpener)
I will also agree on the sypderco sharpmaker, I got one a few months ago and it is absolutely great at getting my knifes razor sharp.

How old to handle a 9mm pistol?
MOST importantly do not load more then 1 round... Years ago up in Mass I still remember this story a young boy who was good at shooting rimfire handguns was at the range with his father and his instructor qualifing for a match or something. Anyhow they gave him a semi auto and when the first one went off it threw him off balance causing a second round to go off killing him right in front of his own father... This is something no father should ever have to go though and they were both quite experenced... all it takes at that age or any age is one mistake... just look at all the idiots on youtube firing stuff they have no right to handle.. At some point I will be teaching my own son to shoot but like what was said every kid is different in strength and abilitys. Just be carefull and even if they are not ready yet they will just appreciate it all the more when they are finally allowed.
