  1. If you have put down crabgrass control (pre-emergent), you should wait at least 60 days before seeding.
  2. Most lawns are a mix of grasses like tall fescue, creeping red fescue and maybe some Kentucky blue thrown in for good measure. It's unusual for a lawn to be of just one grass because of varying conditions such as sun and soil moisture. For whatever reason, the grass that has gone to seed is the predominant in certain areas. ONce you mow it and keep it maintained regularly, the seed heads will not reappear. If the grass is a problem, just nuke the area with roundup late summer, then reseed with grass that is more similar to the rest of the lawn.
  3. That grass like stuff looks like ordinary perennial grass that went to seed. It's hard to tell without a good picture of the seed heads, but all grasses will produce seed heads if they are not cut. Lawns should be mowed about two weeks after they start growing again, even if it doesn't look like it needs it. That prevents seed heads from forming, robbing the plant of energy better used for root and blade growth.
  4. Just don't use this guy...... gal....errr whatever. He has terrible reviews.
  5. New members cannot send PMs until they reach a post threshold. This is a recent security feature set up to discourage scammers and spammers. Sellers can send PMs to new members though.
  6. Women wear pants and shirts just like men. I'm not trying to be obtuse (it's a natural talent), but why can't women just use the same concealment systems as men do? The purse option was popular with a few pistol pack'n mamas I knew on the Ruger forum, some brand of purse designed specifically for CCW. It has a sort of secret compartment ya just shove your hand in. There was some debate about off body carrying and that purses do get snatched. It was the only option according to one gal, as she could not handle the weight of a pistol and mag on her hip for any length of time.
  7. Here's a bit of advise, buy a burner cell phone and set up a g-mail account just for this. Record a VM outgoing msg that has specific instructions, name, what are you interested in, leave your phone number etc. You will filter out about 50% of the BS by doing that. If they do not want to leave a name and number, they are full of shit scammers. When I had to sell some surplus things, including a nearly new car, the amount of bullshit questions and stupid offers was staggering. The way to handle these things is simple, just ignore the stupid questions and low-ball offers, don't give it a second thought. When people call and start acting weird, things like being in a rush to meet (can we meet right away) or inappropriate questions unrelated to the item(s), just hang up. If a conversation is not going to be productive, end it. If you want to be nice... Sorry, my dog just got out the yard, click. Otherwise, just, click. Oh, and everyone has a sob story, can you lower the price etc etc. Well, when I was told sob stories, I made up my own, guess what, I got hung up on a few times. I guess it makes buyers uncomfortable when you tell them your four children are eating cat food for dinner.
  8. What's there to negotiate? He's selling for $2 to $3 under retail as it is. Pro tip: Negotiations should be done using PM
  9. what scene, rough estimate on timeline.
  10. I am a big fan of training as well, every CCW carrier should train, it is in their own best interest all around. The more an individual trains the better they can protect what needs to be protected. Though, if a citizen has a good SD shoot they should not have to prove anything other than their life or safety was in danger. None of this, it was a good shoot, but... bullshit. Nobody wants a mall ninja equivalent of Barney Fife roaming the streets. They could be as much of a menace as the criminals at large. If some yahoo who binge watches Death Wish goes out and causes mayhem because of lack of training, they should fully understand that they will be held accountable. The issue I have with NJ's process is it's exorbitant fees and application of government standards for citizens. Not gonna lie about the ranges cashing in either. They act like they are on our side but when the qualification requirements came out they all blew huge loads in their tighty whities with dollar signs for eyes. The NRA has an opportunity to step up here and provide reasonably priced quals.
  11. Except citizens are not using any firearm they own in an official government capacity. It's not a citizen's responsibility to carry a firearm as part of a public service on behalf of a government agency. It should be assumed that one has the right to defend themselves from violence, using any unqualified means necessary and available. It's not like a person forfeits their right to self defense because they don't have a government issued permission slip.
  12. I wouldn't say a higher standard, perhaps a different standard brought on by law suits and bureaucracy. If an off duty cop shoots someone with a personal gun, that leaves openings for defense lawyers to nit pick.
  13. If you have an ad blocker, disable it for just that site and see what happens. Because of Ad block Plus, I can't see certain sites on this machine, but on my laptop they show up. different ad blockers, different OS actually.
  14. ^^^ This. Ruger's customer service is tops. Over the years I've heard story after story about how Ruger either repairs or replaces broken guns, in spite of having no actual warranty. There have also been a few instances where a gun broke from neglect or abuse and was was rejected. Don't think for even a minute that the smiths at Ruger can't tell the difference. If you know what you are doing, Ruger may just send you replacement parts. If you kinda know what you are doing, Ruger will walk you through it. If you don't know what you are doing, Ruger will probably invite you to send the defective firearm in for inspection and service at no charge. While this probably does not apply here, since it's a minor malfunction, if Ruger replaces a handgun because it's an older model that is cheaper to replace rather than repair, the new handgun will have a new serial number and you will have to apply for P2P.
  15. Wind just kicked up here in Eatontown, lots of lightning.
  16. Boscov's carries a tee shirt brand called Newport Blue, I like them a lot. Super comfortable, slightly stretchy and long enough to keep me from brandishing my love handles when reaching high. Made in Pakistan.
  17. It's what came up when I searched "tactical goat".
