  1. Hell, middle of August when it's 90+ here it's mid-60's on Mackinac Island, or it was when I was there 6 years ago. Had to buy a sweatshirt for the young 'un...

    If she's 45 minutes north it doesn't surprise me that she had frost.

    I'd like to be healed/able to walk so's I can ride one more time this year. Stupid lumbar discs/old age...:nono:

  2. I was out at Todd's 2 months ago to fix up a Windows problem they were having, and the performance of that Internet connection was perfectly good for what most people are going to do.

    It connected right away, no hiccups, and unless you would want to have multiple torrent streams going while streaming Netflix you'd be more than happy.

  3. If you need someone to come out, I can highly recommend Fire and Ice, 614.842.2100

    I have known the owner (Scott Merritt) for about 18 years, he's a great guy, and an honest businessman.

    *edit: If you can make it through tonight, the storms tomorrow are supposed to cool things down to mid-80's, and the mid-70's Monday-Friday.

  4. you mean to tell me everything i see on the interwebz isnt real? :cry:

    Everything except this.. Bill Gates DOES want to give you money, you CAN charge your <insert name of device here> with an onion, etc.

  5. (Mostly) all I've ever heard is that they're crap.

    Having never shot one I cannot honestly offer an opinion of how they do or don't function.

    I can, however, state that to my eyes they're fugly as hell, which matters little if they function as required.

  6. Drop me a PM with your email addy. I know of a potential client of mine looking to add two shops in the next 12 months and one of them will be fairly soon.

    Vulcan_Rider (potentially) winning!

    +rep for Marty :bow:

  7. From your Armslist ad, you say it has no serial# and a circled 'A'.

    No serial # = manufactured before 1968, when the Gun Control Act of 1968 required that all firearms have a serial # stamped on them.

    The model 311 started as the Springfield 5000 around 1920 with model designation changing to 5100 in 1931. Around 1940 it became the Stevens model 311. It was discontinued in 1989.

    The A - N's were made between 1949 and 1961; your circled 'A' means it was probably made in 1949.

    Depending upon the condition (original stock and forend, barrel/receiver not refinished), your asking price is either very fair or a bit on the low side. :)

  8. Ask the seller to sign a dated bill of sale listing the serial# and with his driver's license or CHL # on it. If he refuses, that'd be at least a yellow if not red flag.

    If the seller has an Ohio CHL, that's a fairly reliable indicator that he's law-abiding - at least he's not a convicted felon or a wife-beater.
