A few weeks ago I was BSing with a friend, we got to talking about dogs and how silly he thought small (chihuahuas and such) dogs are. I mentioned, dogs are dogs and a pack of tiny dogs would be like getting attacked by piranhas. One is not much of a threat, but you get attacked by a pack of 15 tiny dogs and you will be dead meat.

Just what he needs. A shit and piss soaked outdoor carpet.

The ammonia will break down on it's own, there is not real cure for an over "fertilized" lawn. YOu can water the area to percolate the chemicals into the ground, but you will most likely turn it area in to a mud wrestling pit, especially if your soil is heavy clay. You may want to try out seed mats if the dogs will be running up and down the stairs to do their business. They are fairly expensive and are not as good as a properly done seed job, but this is a special circumstance.

Seeding can't hurt. If the doggie didn't go full chemical warfare, some of the grass will recover on it's own but there will be dead spots where ammonia is concentrated. Areas that are beaten down from foot (and paw) traffic will probably come back if the root system is healthy. Don't just throw the seed on top, use a steel rake and work it into the soil. The trick to good germination is soil contact and moisture. I recommend programmable sprinkler timers for things like this. Set it up to water 10 minutes every hour.

He obviously slipped. The other 7 states are "deep states".

In my opinion, this is the bottom line. Steel case is questioned all the time on all the gun forums.. Will it hold up over time, will it hurt my rifle, etc etc... Conversely, nobody ever questions brass. Steel case may be okay as range fodder, but I would not bet my life on it in a life or death situation.

My bad then. It's not a 25N, but it looks just like one. The checkering is identical to that on my 25N. It is a Marlin though, right?

Yes, and no. Maybe. Wait.... what was the question again?

It's a Bell Labs thing.

If it's not a US flag, what flag is it then? Is it the flag of Russia? Nooooo Is it the flag of Peru? noooooooo. Is it a black panther flag? noooooo Is it a Nazi flag? nooooooo... You agree that it is, in fact, a flag, but not a US flag. Since you are the apparent SME here, what flag is it then? Are our troops wearing a flag that does not represent the USA? OMG, I'm going to write a letter to the DoD post haste and give them what for.

If you have no plans on reloading, and your stockpile is properly packaged for storage, steel case is fine. Me, personally, I'm not a fan of steel case because it seems, well, un-American. Some swear that steel case is harder on chambers, but there is no real evidence to prove that. Again, my personal preference, brass is less susceptible to corrosion and better suited to long term storage. Last year I indulged in popping off some vintage WW2 ammo in my Garand. Every round went bang and smelled like victory. I dunno how well steel would hold up to 75 years of storage.

I know that rifle, that's a Marlin 25N!!!!

This is the OFFICIAL subdued US flag worn by US troops. It is clearly NOT red white and blue, but somehow, it's an official flag.

If it's stars and stripes, call the BSA to retire the flag.

Call a local scrap metal monger. They will pick it up for free. Actually, if you put it out at the curb with scrap written on it, it will probably be gone in a day.

It should be handgun and AR-15 guys asking for public ranges, not Fudds. This will be great for states like PA and KY where you can go shoot almost any firearm at public ranges, not so great for NJ, NY, CT. There is only one range in NJ on federal land, and that's Ft Dix. NJ has zero public places to shoot non Fudd guns.

This will have almost zero effect for NJ. NJ still needs to kick in state money, and that will never happen. Even if it does, the most we will get are improved existing shotgun and black powder ranges. You can pretty much forget the state giving any of it's subjects a place to practice pistol or centerfire rifle shooting.

Sounds like the dem party.

Are you sharpening the blades from the bottom (flat side) of the blade? Blades that are sharpened on both sides (like a kitchen knife) will dull faster. It's a bad, bad, BAD shortcut. Not only that, but you cannot possibly ensure the blades are well balanced. Unbalanced blades cause excess vibration and shorten the life of a mower. The only way to properly balance the blades is to take them off the deck. Blades should be sharpened at least twice a year. A dull blade will make grass shorter, but it isn't exactly cutting it. It's more like ripping it to shreds. If your lawn looks brown a day or two after you mow, your blades are dull. Not only does it look terrible, but you are stressing the plant and also exposing your lawn to risk of fungal disease. Dull blades can also rip the grass (roots and all) right out of the soil. A nice clean cut heals, whereas a ragged smashed blade of grass may not recover. Over time, dull blades just make the situation worse with every cut. I'm not saying you need razor sharp blades all the time, but there is a threshold. If your lawn is small, then the interval between sharpening is longer, you can get away with sharpening only 2x every year. If you have a 1/2 acre or more, then maybe every 6th cut check the blades. They should be at least as sharp as a butter knife. Blades should be sharpened to a 45 degree angle, only on one side. The sharper the blade, the more healthy your lawn will be. Your grass will be spending it's energy on growing instead of healing and fighting off infections. Yes, lawns can get sick too.

Do yourself a favor and buy a 1 ton hydraulic floor jack. That's what we use when we need to get under a deck to change blades or scrape it. Don't believe I've ever seen anyone tip a commercial mower on it's side to change the blades. That's just asking for a hernia. Another good investment is an impact wrench/driver if you are changing multiple blades.

Brah, that ain't gonna happen. You need to figure out a way to ride the storm until she pops the sprog. Postpartum could be even worse, maybe buy a book, or something. You need tools, not imaginary armor.

Men marry women hoping they will never change. Women marry men with the intent to change them. If you owned guns before you got married, then she married a gun owner. If she no longer trusts you to own guns and deems you too irresponsible, then your marriage is doomed. Buy a safe, lock up the guns and let that be that. If she presses the issue and says to you... "You decided guns are more important than me". Say, "no dear, you decided you cannot trust me, if you cannot trust me to protect you and our family, we don't have a marriage". It's that simple.

We had the same problem with a HE washer we bought a few years ago. It was just over two years old, just out of warranty. Hard water, cold or cool only water temps, HE low surfactant detergent, they all ganged up on us and gacked up the machine. Plus, it sounded downright evil as it was washing. We were not going to go through that all over again. The solution, bought a barely used, old school, baby seal killer Whirlpool that washes clothes with regular detergent and scalding hot water.

Instantaneous torque, four wheel independent traction control. electronic breaking, yeah, they'll be fun to drive. BTW, talking electric cars is sooo 2018. Hydro-Electric hybrids will be the future.
