That's only one side of the yard...

Exactly... there's a reason everything you see sold on TV has the price "Only $19.95"... Extensive marketing has shown this is the best accepted price point.

This is exactly what I do, seems to work well for me as seen in the picture above. The bottom line, it takes some work to develop a nice lawn, there aren't any easy shortcuts (besides hiring an experienced crew of Mexicans). Today's "Instant Society" doesn't have the patience to put in the effort and wait for results... They want the green, perfect lawn RIGHT NOW, damn it!!!

I look at weed killer the same way as chemotherapy to kill cancer. When using weed killer, It's a race to see if you can kill what you want to kill (weeds) without hurting the stuff you don't want to kill (grass). Same thing as chemo, trying to kill the cancer without killing the patient. I'd rather not put that stress on the grass, so I'll spend the time to hand pull where I can. I do use Weed-B-Gone and spot treat clover that pops up. That's a bitch to hand pull. Regarding the dandelions, it's a race between me and the dog. If he gets there first, he eats the yellow heads..... if I could only train him to pull the complete weed...

I water for an hour in each section, but only a few times a week when it's hot. Plus, I never have used weed killer. I do have a vendetta against the occasional dandelion (I hate them), so I go after them with a vengeance, and pull them manually, to make sure I get the roots.

I agree with both, Cut as high as possible or maybe one click down. This keeps weed seeds from sprouting, as they end up being shaded. Plus, when you water, water long and deeply. It's better to only water once or twice a week, but put down at least an inch of water, versus running sprinklers short cycles or watering for a short period of time. By watering deeply, it makes the roots reach further down into the ground, versus staying shallow searching for minimal water, making the grass more drought resistant.

Exactly why I put lasers on my HD handguns. The last thing I want to do is try to get over the sights in low light to make sure I'm on target. If that red dot is on center mass, I can pull the trigger, no matter where the gun is actually positioned.

Well, then in your case, I hope the only thing you're packing for self-defense is a water gun in your house. Can't be having any weapon capable of causing injury to an intruder showing "intent to kill".

Exactly.... Anyone who lived through the shortages a few years ago should have their Plan A already established. Plan B is having already established the response to ending mail order sales. Plan C.... I'll let you decide what YOUR Plan C is... I have mine... Now there's a guy who lives by my motto... He must be a good Boy Scout. Here's another guy who's paying attention. We already see some suppliers who stopped shipping to NJ with parts. If you don't have all your bases covered NOW, you're already behind the Eight Ball.

There are many other suppliers who WILL ship to NJ, just go take your business there.

Maybe I'll just hide under my bed worrying and waiting for the magazine police to show up and look at my LEGAL 15 round mags that I bought from the original manufacturer.

Plan B should have already been put into place. You should have already ordered and have in inventory PLENTY of ammo in anticipation.

Hmmmm, ...... --------- ####### ****** !!!!!!!! Edited: to keep some people from getting nervous.....

From the article: As The Washington Post reported, soon after the 1996 incident, John Howard, who was elected as Australia's prime minister that year, enacted strict gun control legislation. Known as the 1996 National Firearms Agreement (NFA), the law banned the possession, manufacture and sale of all semiautomatic firearms and pump-action shotguns other than in “exceptional circumstances,” such as military and police use. Hmmm, so confiscation and strict laws don't stop criminals??? Imagine that.... ... There was, of course, opposition to the new gun restrictions: Gun owners argued that the laws would not reduce gun crime and would unfairly penalize law-abiding sport-shooters. They said criminals would be emboldened because more of their victims would be unarmed. And they staged large rallies. Looks like that was correct.

What if you used them to convert your existing 15/30s to 10/30s (assuming dickhead Murphy signs the law)?

I was kinda thinking that too....

I got a bogus speeding ticket few years ago. My insurance policy had a "the first one is free" rule. So the points didn't affect my policy and all I had to do is pay the fine to the town (bastards).

Probably a stupid question, are you sure your turn signals actually work? Any possibility the bulb is burned out, so it actually didn't signal, so he didn't see it?

Was there a moving vehicle in that parking spot? Apparently it wasn't empty, otherwise she wouldn't have experienced any damage.

What's with all this talk, concern and worry about storms? Aren't all of you "tough guys" that own firearms and generators???

I'll third that suggestion, get a dog.... a lot safer than forgetting and leaving a handgun laying around when the grandchildren visit. Plus, added benefit, when wifey gets pissed at you, at least you'll have something to talk to.

Being in control works both ways. A driver is responsible for ANY safe operation of the vehicle. This includes safely opening doors into traffic.

I saw an ad by Guns for Hire that they do CCW classes there. Is it only being used privately?

Hmmmm, drunk or hungover guys at a shooting range..... what could possibly go wrong? Bass Pro Shop in AC built a small range inside, but I don't know anything about it.
