  1. I thought Delaware DNR was only 25 yards rifle. Small pistol setup and a place for shotgun. Haven't been there since it became regulated (and not free). Cheap though. It was always a zoo. But at times it would be empty. Probably not anymore, but I'm curious also.
  2. Heard this morning that City Barbecue is selling smoked duck all day. Swing by and pick some up. Good Luck.
  3. Found on allrecipes.com search for duck http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Adams-Family-Duck/Detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Thumb&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page&soid=sr_results_p1i6 Try North Market Poultry and Game or Michael’s Finer Meats and Seafoods Although it's sort of late to get started... Yelp has a list of Chinese Restaurants that serve Peking Duck (or something with the name), but probably need advance notice, like 24 hour.
  4. I didn't know GasBuddy had this map thing: Relative gasoline prices for the state by county on a map. Scroll down to see it. http://www.columbusgasprices.com/Price_By_County.aspx?state=OH&c=usa Can't post the image, wrong image type.
  5. $1.85 over near the fuel tanks on the West side, where it doesn't have to be delivered very far. Pretty much 2.05-2.07 everywhere else in Columbus. Price will go up and down based on usage, delivery dates, the storage tank capacity, how full it currently is vs the delivery date, etc. The individual gas stations do the same thing, the more gas they can get out of the ground tank before a delivery, the more they can buy, and potentially the more they can sell. Individual stations get deliveries of fuel once a week. Those big storage tanks have to wait their turn to receive from the cross country pipelines. And those pipelines do multiple duty, High test, low test, kerosene, diesel, heating fuel, etc. At some point in the future, deliveries of fuel won't match usage based on population. Simply because of the limits of the delivery system. That will also drive prices up, and perhaps permanently. edit: In the recent past, the limits of the refineries was reached. In part because of old equipment, repair, downtime, etc. Newer refineries got built, and that problem went away for awhile.
  6. I would insulate the bottom also, for multiple reasons. Makes my recycled toaster oven look pathetic. I'm going to guess that a lot of wheels might run through this rig. Kind of exciting considering how many powder coat color combinations are available. I assume you have plans for sand blast and media blast units also. As well as some "dip to clean" immersion tanks.
  7. I have many streamlights. Like them a lot. Only one failed from a battery leak. I even have the ultraviolet type that checks money, tracks blood trails, does forensics stuff. Fun to play with. Burn your eyeballs out....
  8. Anyone that has fired rounds at drywall, cinder block, or 2x4 lumber, will tell you most caliber rounds go right through. An accidental firing of a 22LR several blocks from where I am, managed to leave the house, cut through the neighbors house, and stopped in a third house. So basically went through a minimum of 4 exterior walls. You never know...
  9. I am so amused by this thread... Ummm no, sounds more like Fear. Which is a normal reaction of many parents. Umm, sounds like no fear, when there should normally be a reasonable amount of fear of consequences. But having read back and forth amongst this thread, I vote for rampant LSD flashbacks through out. No other conclusion accounts for the incredible quantities of logical fallacies. Carry On...
  10. Pretty much why the world doesn't want certain countries with certain attitudes to have certain weapons...
  11. In some (primitive) cultures, to strike your enemy's home, family, or children is an acceptable method of retribution. It is in a category of "greatest insult". It shows that your enemy was unable to protect. Since they would not be of your own tribe, it matters not.
  12. Memory triggered... Lolas running in the under 2 liter class. Wonderful to watch.
  13. All deaths at another person's actions are termed homicide. This is a technical term in law. Often a mandatory statement in an autopsy. It doesn't mean action of a "criminal" or "killer".
  14. #11 caps might be easier to find than the #10. Both are when ever/where ever you can find them lately. I see them off and on at Gander and Cabelas. Never did find any at Vances. #10 caps aren't all the same size and fit across brands, so I suspect the #11 might be also. I use Remington #10s, but CCI #11 is close to the same size, but a bit loose. So I suspect CCI #11 would be tight or too tight for yours. Trial and error. fffg is correct. Some brands of powder are cleaner. Check the powder label carefully, I've seen the "color code" (purple or blue) of the label get scrambled up between ffg and fffg. A proper fitting lead ball will shave a little ring of lead when pushed into the cylinder. You need to put a wad between the powder and ball, to remove the air gap and position the lead ball correctly. But more important, something has to block the cylinder on top of the lead round. To prevent a crossfire in the cylinder, which would be bad (understatement). Grease is what is used, but there are options and opinions. Feinwerkbau model starts out with 15 grains (round ball). The Navy Arms model starts out with 22 grains. A pure lead cast bullet uses a bit less since it's heavier. People load more than that, but I resist saying what. It will vary with brand, model, and strength of firearm. Can't find a manual for a Euroarms 44.... Here's a copy of a Rogers and Spencer manual from the German Feinwerkbau: http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-571046.html http://www.feinwerkbau.de/ceasy/modules/core/resources/main.php5?id=341-0 Here's a copy of a Rogers and Spencer manual from Navy Arms: http://www.navyarms.com/files/bp_revolver.pdf Cleaning instructions: http://www.euroarms.net/ML/ASSISTANCE/R&S/R&S_ENGL_01.htm edit: some newer models have a safety notch between cylinder bores, the old ones do not. Those must not be carried with a load under the hammer. Load only 5 instead of 6 (unless firing now), so the hammer sits on an empty cylinder. It's so important the manuals even say not to ever load the caps till you fire. Including a spare cylinder, since if it's fully loaded, it's capable of firing.
  15. Flash point of diesel is 100F, at 1% to 10% saturation for vapor. Oxygen or other gas catalyst needs to be present. Did one of the internal units overheat. Condition of the wiring is a clue. A typical fuel tank is rated at 30psi, probably designed for 60psi. A known accident burst a diesel fuel tank attempting 125psi.
  16. but but.... compare JPMorgan to CitiBank. Both about the same size, but one has mass quantities of "suicides", and the other has none.
  17. Chiappa is releasing a modern "update" of the survival rifle. An M6 (12 or 20 gauge over 22LR), or a new X-Caliber 12ga/22LR with or without an 8 inch barrel multi caliber kit to fire from the 12ga bore. ( .380 , 9 mm , .357Mag/.38SP , .40 S & W, .44 Mag, .45 ACP , .410/.45colt 20ga?). Should have 8 barrels when sold. http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/chiappa-firearms-x-caliber-finding-ammo-is-easier-than-pulling-a-sword-from-a-stone-shot-show-2014/ http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_2754.jpg
  18. Columbus had bow hunters cull out the city parks. There were so many they were getting unhealthy.
  19. Wagan 2354 Jump Starter with 400W Inverter and Air Compressor I used one of these for about 12 years, till a two week power outage killed the internal battery while I was away. If I can figure out how to open it, I'll just replace the battery. Found it was great for charging phones, and the LED light will run for days when the power goes out. Jumped a lot of cars and filled a lot of tires. Not cheap, but watch for one on sale. This one is the 400watt inverter - 600 cranking amp for $100. It sold for half that price in the mid 90s. That's inflation, and the rise in cost of metals. There is also a 200watt inverter - 400 cranking amp model for $80. edit: never used the inverter... ok, 5 models... http://www.wagan.com/index.php/products/power-supplies/power-domes.html
  20. MSR MiniWorks EX Microfilter - $57 shipped - saw this today $57 - free shipping - Amazon
  21. Apparently people have had enough of the spammers and trolling. Websites are dropping comment sections in favor of social media connections instead. http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/21/tech/web/online-comment-sections/index.html But lesson learned, they are out there. People of attitude that we never knew existed till they got an anonymous public forum. Sort of like Pandora's Box, it will be remembered. Sort of miss some of ours here, I think....
  22. Agreed with above. The CCNA opens doors, for now. I tried to generate interest in Six Sigma and nobody cared. The days of a decent job without a degree are fading. Except skilled trades, where people can make more money in a lifetime than those with a degree they have to pay back. In times of limited sources of employees, those temp and consulting firms will pay benefits, sick days and holidays. When they can find employees, they won't pay it. I once figured that all the benefits are worth about 10% of a paycheck. Get that 10%, and you can buy your own benefits. Percent would vary per actual annual salary, but 10% for middle to upper middle income. edit: A+ is for getting a job at retail electronics, heh.
  23. Mostly short term gigs, often lots of overtime. Make sure it's paid overtime. Lots of chances to find a full time job with one of the places. edit: My opinion is that A+ and network+ aren't enough, too many people have them. Need more than that.
  24. Does this mean the city of Ferguson is the new Tea Party? The Boston tea party rebellion was about being forced to pay tea taxes to Britain against our will. We rebelled against a British government regulation that allowed it to happen, not the designated, financially struggling merchant of London that participated. The main factor was the British government attempting to sneak in the "right of taxation" of the colonies by an indirect method, using force against our will. (That whole right to representation thing.) Modern governments avoid this by paying cash (bail out) directly to the merchants in need, which mostly only angers politicians. Which leads to the concept of throwing money at the angry residents of Ferguson to make them go away. Oddly, this is also an acceptable alternative by modern governments. edit: And in case anyone wonders, there is no such similar connection between the merchants of Ferguson and the government of Ferguson or Missouri or the USA. It is simply anarchy and looting for personal gain.
  25. MSR miniEX is the lightest, I think - it was also a tough call between Sweetwater and MSR
