  1. It is amazing. I am sure there are books and other web projects out there to document history from those that have lived it.

    In highschool, my grandmother lived us. At the time, I thought is was a burden to "have to" help grandma. When you are 16 / 17, the last thing you wanted to do was take grandma to the doctors on a Saturday morning.

    But I changed my focus. I recall her stories about the first time she saw an automobile, airplane and electric light bulb.

  2. I got the new parts installed in the 887. Did not take long at all. It took more time to cover the coffee table with cardboard / newspaper and get tools/ cleaning kit than it did to actually remove and replace the parts. I used the owners manual on-line so I would not get the finger prints on the paper manual that was included with the shotgun.

    I should have bought a Mossburg 500 or saved up a bit and got a Benelli Nova like I wanted. The M887 has a 3 year warranty, but hope I wont need to use it again.

    Jan 2009, my brand new 870 home defense failed to extract spent shell within the first 15 shells. Turns out the place I bought it from was not a Remington repair center. So I would either have to send to Remington, or drive to Erie PA to the closest repair center, if I wanted to use the warranty. Eventually it cleared up after about 100 shells through it.

    So, I keep a heavy screwdriver,hammer and a center punch in my range bag every time I bring the Remingtons to the range, just in case.

  3. Very nice truck.

    I am considering getting a truck this year. I just started researching the Ecoboost twin turbo motor. There is about 5 videos on Ford's website about the testing of this motor.

    It is hard to determine what is actually true and what is just "marketing".
