  1. Dunno, but you might consider a high tech cooling shirt underneath. None made in high neck, but long sleeve is available. It is supposed to drop surface temp 10-20 degrees. I've been thinking about trying it out. Columbia Omni Freeze http://www.columbia.com/Men%27s-Coolest-Cool%E2%84%A2-Long-Sleeve-Top/AM6580,default,pd.html Old school for neck is to wrap a wet bandana around. It works.
  2. Did notice a rather vicious and widespread email attack last night. (spam) And did see some problems with Yahoo accounts earlier today. (spam)
  3. guy at work today said he had everything except the bolt/carrier. oops. He's working from pieces, it will be fun to see him try head spacing.
  4. Nike bunkers are pretty small, so the water storage isn't a bad idea. I think from the pictures, that the Nike was stored horizontal under the hatch, and raised vertical to launch. That was normal for a Nike. nm, Nikes were never stored and/or launched from underground that I know of. I've seen above ground bunkers where they would roll out. The picture is just showing a steel launch pad. The human occupied bunker is probably flooded.
  5. Doing it wrong. Make punk hit first. Finish it. With witnesses...
  6. i used to do it, with a pro guy moonlighting in the evenings. I didn't think it was that bad. Used those stilts for the shoes to be taller. And the kick thingy tool to lift sheets up at the walls. Mud and tape is easy. Do it right and no sanding required. edit: Indeed it is a lot easier with two people available at times.
  7. Surplus WalMart tent made in China that didn't sell at ~120.00 edit: it leaks in the rain
  8. Vapor gone, now: Leatherman Fuse Multi-Tool - Black/Camo $25.00 normally $39.99 - 37% off List Price Nice, I'm buying one. Quickly if you want one, 10% left, going fast... oops, holy crap, in two minutes it went from 25% to sold out. All gone now.
  9. Picked up Barnes boolits today. In stock today, probably gone tomorrow. Components only, for reloading. I have to jump on them, might not see them again for a year. Making wildcat rounds. So stuff is coming in, but no doubt going quickly. Get on the mailing list for when a specific item comes into stock, and grab it quick.
  10. Add Florida to the list. Several seen Sunday night out over the Atlantic Ocean. Seen from St Augustine down to the Keys. Video makes then appear to be fairly far away, moving fast, and fairly large. Dunno. Another meteor? 'Fireballs' light up Florida sky I also happened to think about the Russian one was moving the wrong way compared to the asteroid. And what happens if one comes in on the opposite side of the planet, and enters the atmosphere and de-orbits? It shows up going the opposite direction... Dunno...
  11. I was told that Colt was the major supplier of bolts and bolt carriers. I'm sure they are working overtime, but it's not enough to get caught up. Most sellers of bolts/carriers won't sell, they are building rifles instead. edit: looked it up. Colt and LMT and CMT/Stag. Add Bushmaster and Tactical Machining.
  12. worst? Dunno, but LandShark Lager was pretty bad. I'll hit Kroger and try some Summer Shandy. edit: I really like the Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat. So should try other Leinenkugel stuff.
  13. Gander has HKS speed loaders for $14.95. Saw them this morning.
  14. I lied. I went to Gander on Sunday. Early. Got the 10 buck off and the hat. Yippy. 22lr special all gone. Israeli Independence 223 for 9.99/20box. Initially it was grabbed up pretty fast, but 50-60 percent of it was still there at 11am. They said no limit? They opened at 10am. Didn't see the cheaper American Eagle 223. Don't remember seeing the Rem 9mm. I saw the Fiocchi, but not sure if 9mm or .40. The Hornady 380 defense is there, both 90gr and 115gr(9mm). All the rest isn't a special price, just regular price. If it wasn't in the flyer. edit: and no primers. Except shotgun primers. No rifle or pistol primers. Not even a place on the shelf for large/small pistol primers.
  15. Perhaps the sad part, these programs complete with equipment and training, come from federal grants post 9-11. Everyone has something, the cash flowed everywhere.
  16. Yeah. I've seen many larger than that right here in Ohio. Not recently though. I saw three small ones at the end of December. All on different days. Had to think... why so many.
  17. join the club. Now you too can have a fireball in your sky! Fireball reported across California sky 2/15/2013 7:44PM (yes, we've got dashcams too) http://youtu.be/HLpTOc1i8_8 edit: "Sporadic meteors bring as much as 15,000 tons of space debris to Earth each year"
  18. Black SUVs: Policing for Profit in Tennessee (Cops Robbing Citizens) http://youtu.be/bMVIdA3UEcU And in South Carolina, I spotted black unmarked SUVs working the freeways in Columbia. The one I saw in action, was just helping a motorist stopped on the freeway though. Another was after a semi-tractor rig.
  19. Why Almost Everyone in Russia Has a Dash Cam "Russia averages 25.2 traffic fatalities per 100,000 people. The U.S., by comparison, had 13.9 road deaths per 100,000 people in the same year, despite having six times more cars." That would be 12 times more crap than we have here.
  20. If anyone gets the Science Channel, there will be a special Saturday night at 8pm ET. ""Russian Meteor Explosion" premieres on the channel Saturday night at 8 p.m. ET."
  21. I take it back. If you were at ground zero and threw an elbow at it as it struck you, then yes, something made by man could hit it. But you'd have to be very very quick...
  22. ha, they would like to think so. But if it was moving at what they say; 33,000mph (mach 44), nothing made by humans would hit that. A battle laser probably wouldn't even track fast enough.
  23. Thanks. Saturday is the big day anyway, with the celebs and stuff. There is supposed to be 10 buck gift card for first 100 in the door, and free hat for first 250 sales. Or something like that, I'm not going back and look yet again!
  24. Find the jurisdiction it happened in, and write your own report and turn it in. Using the official accident report form, of course. All parties are supposed to do that.
  25. whutdeheck... that flyer says friday at 9am. was thinking of leaving work for that oh well, see everyone saturday... http://gandermountain.shoplocal.com/gandermountain/Default.aspx?action=browsepagespread&storeid=2400994&rapid=1950707&pagenumber=1&prvid=GanderMt-130214&promotioncode=GanderMt-130214 what it says is grand opening fri-sat-sun and grand opening sale prices in the flyer good thurs-fri-sat-sun
