    The hysteria needs to stop. I can't find squat for magazines at a decent price. Wanting some mags to throw in the lake near my new lost toy and they are gone or triple price. Im not even looking for a 10+ round mag. This hysteria is annoying to those of us not hysterical.

    I don't have any fantasies about armed revolution, but why would you want to be put at even more of a disadvantage than we already are? Just because the populace is armed, doesn't mean peaceful revolution is not possible... it merely gives the populace options.

    Cant rep you again. I agree. I bought my first firearm as a self defense tool. I bought additional firearms for sport shooting. Then I lost them all while fishing. While I dont want to see a non peaceful revolution, I understand why the 2nd amendment was included. Also michael moore I don't see black people robbing me or breaking into my home in my dreams sorry. If cheech or anybody else doesn't want to own firearms I respect their right to not own them.

    "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."

    - George Washington

    "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

    - Benjamin Franklin

    "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."

    - Thomas Jefferson

    "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery."

    - Thomas Jefferson

    "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

    - Thomas Jefferson (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria)

    "To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them."

    - George Mason

    "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe."

    - Noah Webster

    "The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops."

    - Noah Webster

    "A government resting on the minority is an aristocracy, not a Republic, and could not be safe with a numerical and physical force against it, without a standing army, an enslaved press and a disarmed populace."

    - James Madison

    "Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms."

    - James Madison

    Sums up my thoughts. I'm with the founders!

  11. Hot water tanks

    Tankless are good but Ive read countless comments about them NOT heating enough water for 2-3 applications at once, I couldn't handle that. I often take a shower while my dishwasher, washer, are all running, or just before/after and never have any issues with that, just the wifes showers.

    Also the install of the tankless can be a pita, venting along with other requirements for them make it at times, costly, and difficult. There wa a HUGE thread on this on Wera just recently and it was really interesting, way more input and info there.

    But I've never flushed mine once, and just installed a softner a few years ago and no issues. Knock on wood. I had the pilot go out 2-3 times and thats it. I have been thinking about flushing it but figure my wife would want to shower like right after and rip me. :)

    R1, you just leave the water pressure inlet on right and flush it for like 5 mins to push the sediment out a garden hose basically? My dad was asking me the other day about it because he's gone through several due to his geothermal and well water with a super high mineral content.

    And do you turn the hot water outlet to the hosue off as you flush it?

    Tankless have to be sized appropriately based on gpm. Install is not terrible depending on location of unit. Electric tankless are very simple to install.

    I recommend tankless. They are a bigger investment at first. Keeping a big tank full of water costs more in utilities and is wasteful. Most people seem to resist change though.

    Sizing especially on electric tank models is important since electric water heaters recover slower than gas.

    Yes my Eddie Bauer has quad buckets. It's very nice! I'm actually driving it :D

    I would prefer the middle bench. Might talk to wifie though. She thinks it is premature to consider switching vehicles. We are planning to buy a camper this year and I would like a diesel to pull it. I rarely haul anything in the bed.
