ReconRat

Bought my last one in February. Rode it home in snow. And ice. And slush...

Was actually quite fun till I realized I didn't shovel the driveway before I brought it home.

Backed it up and gunned it. Where it stopped is where it stayed.

So the story changes again. What they didn't tell us or make clear, is that there were two more distinct turns at waypoints after that first turn. Data found from multiple radars much later. The pilot was most likely conscious. That means most likely no fire. Nor was it likely aiming for an emergency landing. Right back to the big unknown cause.

As of when? The story I saw was running at 2 am eastern today... They were making a huge deal about it and had a time line playing

Two days ago, I think. Could be either way. They appear to be almost clueless. And what they do know, they don't want to tell. And the various media that are repeating stuff, don't have a firm grip on what they can get for information.

I can only guess there was an emergency. A pre-programmed turn was made. An attempt to put a fire out was made. And then it got worse. What will be hard to believe, would be if the last known position from the satellite was wrong.

Good theory except the transmission from the co-pilot saying goodnight, was transmitted after the left turn was performed and there was no hint of distress. So they turned that plane left before losing communication

They aren't sure about that. I saw something that said they now think it was before.

Islanders in the remote Maldives Islands are saying that an aircraft that looked like MH370 flew over at low altitude the morning after. There are normally no aircraft like that around the Maldive Islands. The direction that it was going was the last known heading of MH370 when it was last seen on radar far away.

edit: Also, the turn it made, it's last known heading, would have been appropriate for an easy emergency landing at a nearby 13,000ft runway. It wouldn't want to go back to where it departed, there are 8000ft mountains in the way.

edit one more: The unusual climb to 45,000ft and drop to 23,000ft right after the turn, might have been an attempt to extinguish a fire. Either from thin air at 45,000ft or from a high speed dive.

To be specific, the complaint was about a 80% lower made of polymer from EP Armory. It has two different colored polymers, one is for the portion that gets removed. Ares Armory sells them. Supposedly a newer decision has been made that it is still ok as an 80%. But apparently actions are still proceeding based on another previous decision that they are not. Also disregarding a previous previous decision that they were ok. Remember that this is California, and if one or more showed up on the street, actions would be taken regardless. As far as I know, the design of 80% lowers is regulated, and have to be submitted for review in order to qualify and be sold.

edit: More specific, if the 80% sample submitted is found to NOT have the following done, it is not a firearm.

Obviously confusion on how to handle a two tone polymer. It could be said that it was finished and filled back in or something.

Also, at the federal level it is ok to build your own firearm unless it's short barrel or full auto or other prohibited type. At the state level, laws will vary.

NASCAR had a premium website deal where you could flick through the cameras (and audio) around the track and in the cars. Not sure it was real popular, but what do I know. So I guess the groundwork is already there.

absentee or in person?

Both, and one for each fake ID...

and... only 25% of the needed under-25 group have jumped in. 75% short.

20% of everyone signed up haven't paid, facing cancellation.

83% are receiving federal aid to purchase.

Only 10% so far are of the original target group of uninsured.

Apparently the other 90% are mostly people that had their insurance cancelled?

And I'm not seeing data on how many signing up are actually going after the Medicaid instead of the insurance plans.

About by now I'm pretty sure we would have been better off hiring some other country to manage this for us.

edit: the irony seems to be more people lost insurance than uninsured people got insurance.

Some sort of reverse psychology, I guess.

How are you guys finding all these cheap batteries?  My RS Warrior needs a new battery, and I'm not finding much under $80.

It looks like that battery is harder to find. Not as many in stock. So the prices are higher.

Might also be a bit larger battery. About $70 might be the best price found for AGM. ($60 + shipping)

Google price search

edit: Batteries Plus is about $86 plus tax

I asked MicroCenter to duct tape a 32 inch monitor onto my back. They didn't refuse, they were speechless. I was kidding.

Had a friend haul a new tire home. It flopped down onto the rear wheel while on the freeway. That ground a chunk out of the side wall. Ruined.

I don't think this exists anymore for us ladies...

I suspected that. Gone after the forum conversion. Calling Casper... fix it...

Welcome. There's a ladies only back channel. Ask the ladies about that one. Not sure where it is. Might have to get admin to authorize it, or set it up.

Ok, this tibit of info you found raises some concerns.  The fed law, as I understand it, says the NCIS must remove all info associated with an approved background check pretty quickly..like in a matter of days. Now that is a federal law applying to a federal agency. I doubt that law applies to Connecticut who basically is taking the info from the FFL then calling the FBI/NCIS themselves. So there is a possibility that they are retaining records.  I don't know that, but it seems possible.

From what I've read, the state of Connecticut freely admits that they permanently retain the records. I saw what year they started, but don't remember. I might find it. I think it was the year they required state registration. It occurs to me that some people might think that if they previously registered at time of purchase, they didn't need to register again under the new mandate. Don't know the answer to that one.

ermygud we lost control of our info! We need... a law!

edit: yeah, I know, laws never hurt anyone said no one ever in jail.

All I've seen is that China won't say one way or the other. Two words come to mind. Texas and Tibet, lol.

Are you sure that is what is happening. I have never seen anything that suggests States or Cities are involved in a NCIS background check. It is a phone call that goes straight to the Feds isn't it? That has always been my experience. There isn't any local involvement. What is going on in MD and Conn is they are requiring people to register their guns with the State, which is what Cleveland also used to do and that is how they are getting what info they have.

Regardless, in Connecticut, it is required to register with the state database.

I think you are correct. NICS is only federal information, submitted by the states.

I think I confused myself, since many of the background checks I'm familiar with did include checking state records.

edit: I did find this, 13 states do the NICS themselves, locally. (And some in part.)

http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/nics/general-information/participation-map

Connecticut does, Ohio does not.

Also found this, the federal NICS checks 3 federal databases.

• Interstate Identification Index (III), a database of criminal history record information
• National Crime Information Center (NCIC), which includes information on persons subject to civil protection orders and arrest warrants
• NICS Index, which includes the information contributed by federal and state agencies identifying persons prohibited from possessing firearms who are not included in the III or NCIC, such as persons with a prohibiting mental health history or who are illegal or unlawful aliens.

Essentially, those are checks of past, present and future.

Interesting. They cannot use the NICS database to get the info on the state level. Wonder where they get the info?

Connecticut is using the retained state database. It was their choice to do so. Nothing prevents them from doing that.

The state database is built from background checks when individuals purchase weapons, or even try to purchase weapons.

Most states do not retain the information. Only a few choose to do so. And maybe a city or two, like Cleveland.

Connecticut just isn't in the news. Somebody doesn't want it in the news.

Oddly, it isn't in the British news either. Guessing that is a subject they don't want British citizens thinking about.

Estimates were that up to around 300,000 unregistered weapons exist in Connecticut.

Let's be reasonable and say they can go get at least one a day, 6 days a week. It will take 959 years...

And that doesn't include illegal high capacity magazines. That might be another 2000 years.

Just one more winter for me and Im out of here. Moving to Florida to join the nice summer heat and winter warmth.

I've lived in Florida and places hotter. After the first year, you will think 40F is freezing. They sell Winter clothing in Florida for a reason, and people buy it up. It sounds weird, but it's what happens.

The tube forks and the shape of the oil tank lock in the range of years.

It appears there were variations in the headlight and headlight braces. Different years or models.

Does look like a Triumph Speed Twin 500cc. Somewhere between 1945 and 1955?

Yeah, it's free shipping over $99 only. I'd be temped to look elsewhere. Don't like being tricked.

screw them, here...$37.25 at amazon.com, free shipping... drop shipped from Powersport Superstore

edit: I forgot, I always check amazon.com last, looking for cheaper. Because they do free shipping all the time.

Should have just given it to MJ to advance her chemistry skills...

One of my three batteries is a BikeMaster AGM. It seems to work as well as anything else. I'll guess it's 7 years old. It came with the bike. One of the Yuasa is 12 years old and still works, but it seems like the amps are just starting to fade. A just noticeable slowness when starting the bike. It's now a spare. I charge them about once a month in the Winter. Charging now, since I forgot...

edit: I looked, Wally World doesn't have one for 599 or 919. Not even on line...

Batteries Plus and similar are running about 53 for the type. Which isn't a bad local price either.

This is what I'm getting at 11am. It hits closer to 20 early in the morning.

This is just basic level cable, and I get the impression that paying extra isn't worth anything.
