    How Do You Feel About Bankruptcy Law?

    6 1/2 yrs ago I had to go there. Lost my big money job, w/ bills to prove it. (Company downsizing) 18 months later I got a job with the FD making 2/3 what I was. :) But with "late fees" which caused "overlimit fees" which increased "minimum payments", I couldn't pay the minimums...which I...

    rifle question

    No I don't spend any time at AR-15.com. I love my CAR, I carried one when I was an RTO - 1st ranger bat. I once hit a moving target at 500 yards with it:eek: ...Not with one shot though. Having shot literally thousands of rounds through the government model, I am fairly proficient with one...

    rifle question

    yes 50 caliber is gigantic and should not just be able to be in the hands of anyone. pwnag3!! I think everyone should be able to own one, except nut cases, children, and felons. The Idea that we sould limit acces to "something" due to the outspoken cries of some hysterical few, without regard...

    rifle question

    My 10 year old daughter reloads my .270 for me. Of course I do quality checks and supervise the process, but if a ten year old girl can, how hard can it be? She does a phenomenal job. I'm not proud or anything.

    Plumbing help

    I use 3/4 inch pipe. The 1" will allow a lot of flow, but not much pressure will be developed.

    Plumbing help

    I drilled some holes in my return line just above the water's surface to allow some of the bubbles to disapate in the return line. Also, I used a bag of carbon to "dam" the water before it reached the inlet to the pump. The bubbles burst before they can be sucked into the pump.

    rifle question

    fish king, I would go with the remington 870. It will be much more versatile and you will use it more in the long run. pwnag3!! a "50 cal " is nothing more than a 1/2 in diameter bullet, S&W makes a revolver in that caliber. I believe a 12ga shotgun is 73 caliber. Why would you say that "no...

    Vehicle Issues....

    Injectors shouldn't cost very much, and they are quite simple to remove /install. I would expect a bill for $300 ball park. Check around, $700 is too much IMO

    Something wierd came out of my LTA !!

    Anenomae belong tho the group Cnidaria. and as such have only one opening which sserves as both mouth and anus. They are mostly water and can vary both their size and color by expelling or inflating with water. The stringy stuff is waste, and the deflated cycle (i believe) has to do with the...

    any drysuit divers?

    I have used dry suits. I would not recomend them for anyone except in extreme circumstances. One of the funniest things I have ever seen was a diver who lost control at 20' and floated like a life raft. He was thrashing about in a stiff suit and had to be hauled in by his life line...quite a...
