Federal 22lr showed up at PSA. It lasted about 5 minutes. .04/rd When will it end...

Did I mention smooth? Smooth is the goal. Every move a motorcycle makes should be smooth. Save the radical for a later day.

If you stay off the throttle for most of the first year, it can be done. And I mean limit strictly to part throttle. Just don't crack that throttle wide open till you've got some good basic experience. And take the MSF motorcycle rider course. Do a walk in, since they are probably all booked for the Summer already. A couple of people usually don't show, and it's whoever showed up first to do a walk-in. Any cheap bike is a good starter, it will fall, get beat up, and take abuse. edit: There are compelling reasons to start on a 250cc, it's more forgiving of mistakes. In many European countries, the new riders have to start on a 250cc for a year, by license.

If anybody cares, Cabela's has one of the Columbia Omni Freeze shirts on sale.

Huh... all the 9x18 Mak ammo is.... gone. (on-line anyway) Except for cheaperthandirt, who wants a dollar a round for Brown Bear FMJ...

The New York Times North Korea Draws New China Scrutiny The concept of a limited edition of a united USA and China is not far fetched. North Korea is pushing China to the limits, with the talk about a third North Korean nuclear test. China is still believing in the "Domino effect" in Asia. Where one after another country falls to a new ideology. That's rather old school and not so relevant in current times. Simple economic warfare is probably more efficient. Which they should know all about by now.

The Brookings Institution North Korea Collapse Scenarios

Wired.com Ex-CIA Analyst Expects North Korea to Attack South Korea Before Tensions End The problem is under-estimating the response (both ways). Some day some one will call the bluff. And respond in kind, in a "limited" amount of retribution. That day is getting closer. North Korea could easily fold up if a response is done correctly. Or blow up if done wrong.

It's only epic with a helicopter escort...

USA for air assets and recon, China on the ground. If we could get China to agree. China gets stuck with pacification and South Korea with reunification. USA supplies food and money. A lot of food. China gains a new best buddy (and strategic mining resources), we get rid of a problem, and Korea gets it's country back. And after China and the USA do something together, it's game over. No one would ever mess with either of us again, for a long long time. In the end it's a question of value. North Korea has mineral resources that are of value. So does Afghanistan. Iraq not so much.

Bought cheap refurbished TomTom 130 from newegg, years ago. 40 bucks. Works fine, and use it all the time. Car and bike. Got mounts for both. Never really had a problem yet with rain. I just put it away and ride old school. (Seat of pants, also known as butt navigation.) Sometimes I just plug in the headphones and run it from a pocket. The vocal instructions will get me there. Sometimes just like to have it along, so I can check up on navigation. But the smart phone does that now, so it's not quite all it used to be. Now I run Waze on the smartphone on a mount, and the tomtom does it's thing as a backup. Also considering running a 7 inch tablet with navigation in the Jeep. Also taught the smart phone and tablet to do off road topographical navigation, for free. A tomtom or garmin to do that is way too expensive.

Dunno... Crazy is as crazy does. Never underestimate crazy.

I've heard of race tires doing that, but never a street tire. I've had many street tires sit outside and freeze. Nothing ever happened. edit: now worried about the future...

If they are warm, move them to a cooler spot. Spinach germinates well with cool soil temps. Germination falls off if soil temps get too warm. Temps much above 75F may give poor, if any germination. Temps in the 60's (or lower) work well.

Grabbed 5x50=250 Remington 223 for $125 plus tax/shipping from Cabela's mail order this morning. You have to be quick. They also had low prices on 380, 38special, and 9mm. The 9mm was gone first.

223, 380, 38special available on line at Cabela's this morning at the lower end of prices. The 223 was 50rd boxes limit 5 = 250. 50 cents per round plus shipping/taxes. The 9mm are already gone.

LOL! Basically it ends just before the Sun goes down. Since most of the riders only have a learner's permit and can't be on the road after dark. I kid you not. You'll see them all leave at that time. There will be real riders after dark. The majority of the posers will be gone. Quaker State closes at midnight on Wednesdays. Sun - Mon: 11am to 11pm. Tues - Thurs: 11am to Midnight Fri and Sat: 11am to 1am

Somebody tried to help by putting a spin on it: Yeep, also stupid. Didn't help much at all.

Refuse the delivery. Return to sender.

Privi is a NATO supplier. They make the Wolf Premium for Wolf. It can't be all that bad.

That's the current status quo anymore. Rules and regulations without penalties or enforcement. Unless it involves collecting money, in that case some one will be right over.

Made in Serbia. Generally boxer, non corrosive, re-loadable. Generally military surplus or steel case will be cheaper. In previous years. Right now the military surplus is probably more expensive. The Chinese PMC is about the same price/quality? Prices are all over the place. Don't over pay. (Yes, I would pay 8 bucks for 20 boxer brass 223 and buy all I could get.)

Yup, red-bellied Woodpecker: Nope, this is red-headed woodpecker: I see them in the back yard sometimes, but more often just yellow-bellied sapsuckers. They are woodpeckers also.
