Catch22LR

I'm in his boat.

There is at least one specific incident I found - "In this case, the flap displaced as a result of a punch to the eye in a 28-year-old-woman who had undergone LASIK four years earlier." Clearly, she still has her eyeball left. Found at http://www.eyeworld.org/article.php?sid=2893 Found a bunch of non-specific info on the same search. Not saying there's anything wrong with the operation, but this seems to be a very real, if seemingly uncommon possible complication.

I voted 21 and 22 - the weekend between the CJRPC steel match weekends.

Lasik leaves a flap that I read can complicate future eye injuries. Look into "lasik flap adhesion" or something like that. It would be really annoying to have a scratched eye turn into something that needs a hospital visit when there are none available. For me right now it would come down to not breaking my glasses and having enough spares. Sounds like your vision is a bit worse than mine though. As far as durability, I've had good luck with a somewhat flexible pair from Walmart. "Ti-Flex" is written on the side. I've sat and stepped on them and after 4 years they're still my favorite.

My manual didn't say anything about having the driver door opened, but I tried it that way earlier today and it still didn't go into programming mode. Will look into needing a working remote for this process. I'll try again next weekend which is the next time I'll see the car, maybe I unlocked the doors with the driver door closed, but I doubt it. Don't really want to take it to a dealer and pay to find out the car doesnt have a receiver for keyless entry. I read somewhere that Grand Marquis' used in fleets don't always have remote locks, maybe this was originally one of those.

Yes, it's a 4 button remote separate from the key.

There is no keyless entry pad

Thanks for the reply, I just tried those instructions but wasnt able to add the remote. The car never locked and unlocked the doors. I tried a few other instruction sets too, one involving opening the driver window before starting but the same thing happened. Could it be that this car doesn't have that feature? It has a key lock on both the driver and passenger doors, whereas most of the grand Marquis' I've seen only had driver side key locks.

Dear mechanics (shade tree or otherwise), The 2006 grand marquis gs I just bought didn't come with a keyless entry remote and I'm having trouble programming one. I read somewhere that not all 2006 grand marquis' had this feature. How can I tell if mine is one of those? I followed the instructions in the manual but nothing happened. The manual said I should turn the key 8 times fast and the locks would open and close, then I should press a button on the remote I want to add. If my car doesn't have this feature, is there any way to retrofit it?

Just got back from another dealer listing himself as a private seller, named Islam (no offense intended). Car was listed with 60k mile on it and photographed beautifully but was worn like it had 200k. Pouring oil and everything.

Yeah, I agree, not worth the risk to me The seller wasn't in Tom's river, this was in Princeton

Thanks for the info guys, it really clears things up. So I went to a private seller I found on Craigslist today and it turned out that the guy was selling cars still owned by a dealership. Ended up not buying it because we couldn't agree on the price.

Hello, Do any of you penny-pinchers have any experience with buying used cars from the owner? When buying from a private party in NJ, how does that work? When can you drive the car home? Does it have to be registered first? When do you get temporary or permanent tags for the car? Thanks

The pa-63 has a slightly different shape and size. For example: http://www.ar15.com/mobile/topic.html?b=5&f=46&t=116791 Some holsters for the makarov would work for sure, but I'm looking for a holster to start with that someone has actually tried with a pa-63.

Hello, I'm looking for a holster for a Feg PA-63. Does anyone know of any holsters that work with this gun? One that I'm considering is a Galco Yaqui paddle holster but I'm not sure if it would fit, there is some conflicting information on the internets. Thanks

Hey, I went to the match with the 8-shot 22 revolver and it was fun. 4 stages were the usual static steel and there was one 25 target knockdown stage. For the knockdown stage, rimfire shooters just had to mark the targets, not knock them down. Most of the targets fell for me though, so that was cool. I didn't do man vs man. Thanks for showing me your revolvers, alec.mc!

Hey guys, If anyone is bringing a .22 revolver to the special steel match at CJ this Sunday, want to be in the same squad? I'll be shooting one.

How'd it go?

Nice fish! Where did you catch it?

This was my first thought too. What do us glasses wearers do?

I can only make weekends, so I'll see you at the shotgun meetups if this is going to be on a weekday.

Definitely interested, especially if Maggie is there again! Depends on the date.

What was that supposed to be??

Hello, Has anyone bought anything from Wideners? To order something from their site I have to register an account, and one of the fields on the registration form is FFL/C&R and/or Photo ID: A copy of FFL/C&R on file is required for all firearm orders and photo ID verifying age is required for ammo / powder / primers / tracers. You may upload the following file types only - gif, jpg, tif, pdf, png. Does that mean that only FFL's can order guns from Wideners?

I'm probably going, but since it's the first weekend of the school year I'll find out for sure later.
