Let me know when everyone decides it is time to walk the walk.

I ended up running to Iron Pony this morning since I live right around the corner. I was able to find a youth helmet, and women's jacket and gloves for the kids. The jacket and gloves are a bit large, but they'll be able to grow into it. I bought fairly cheap stuff on clearance. I got the helmet, jacket and gloves for just under $100. I'd like to go back with the taller kid to see if I can fit her into some offroad dirtbike over pant with pads since they seem to have youth sizes. As for boots, I'll try to find an alternative since they both have different shoe sizes. Fortunately, right now, they both have the same head size, so they helmet is a solid fit.

Yeah, I agree on the helmet. It is more of a visual thing, so I don't get glares from neighbors more than anything else. That is a good idea on the bicycle helmet. I plan to take them on some 45-55 mph roads, but don't want to do that until I properly gear them up.

I have a couple kids that are showing a lot more interest in hopping on the bike with me. I've taken them around the neighbor around 25 mph with my helmet on just for fun. I won't take them out further than that without gear. Wanted to reach out for tips and advice on buying gear for the little ones. Gear can get expensive and these kids grow quick. Any thoughts from your own experience on gearing these kids up? Also, should I just buy everything for them used? One kid is 11 the other is 8 if that matters.

On the lookout for a P226 tacops with threaded barrel. If you or anybody you know is looking to sell one I'll be here :)... unless they want to price gouge, then I'm not interested.

Do they have any sleds to out the rifles in or is that something I would have to obtain?

Anybody know a place I can go to sight a rifle in central ohio and has the appropriate equipment? I have a 308 and I don't think this thing was ever sighted properly.

Disclaimer: I'm not putting any beliefs out here, just wanting to know your thoughts... Cohen was Trumps attorney, hired to provide legal counsel, etc. I don't know how all this works, but if I went to my attorney and asked him to do something illegal (not knowing it was illegal) and they didn't tell me it was illegal and did it, am I at fault? I'm just trying to figure out how this could play out regarding the relationship between an attorney and client. I'm not saying Trump knew or didn't know something was illegal, just playing the scenario.

I imagine a few of you had heard that there were a few fatal accidents this morning. Always sad news to hear. One of those accidents from my understanding involved a motorcyclist. They are reporting in the Columbus Dispatch that the motorcyclist switched lanes and hit the back of a CRV. They are stating the motorcyclist had a helmet on. I'm unsure if they clipped the back of the CRV or slammed into the back of it. http://www.dispatch.com/news/20180614/second-fatal-crash-involving-motorcycle-reported-on-northside If you know this person, sorry for your loss.

Thanks all! I did end up running a 1/4" round over bit on both sides across a test piece and it worked out okay after sanding. Wasn't very even, but that could just be me. I jokingly convinced a friend of mine to order a 3/4" bullnose cutter for his shaper. After that, the wife decided she wanted the shelf to be straight. Awkward... I'm going to pay him for the cutter ;).

I was thinking of using a round over bit, but wouldn't 1/4" be too small? And once I do one side, not having a table, will I have any issues with not having a fence to keep the router from digging in too far after the first cut? Where would the bearing sit?

I need to route an edge on a 3/4" plywood shelf. I was wanting to make it bullnose, but the router I have is 1/4" shank. I also don't have a router table. What options do I have to pull this off?

Yeah, totally a civil war waiting to happen

https://www.facebook.com/dfrisiello This is the guy suspected of sending white powder to Trump Jr. etc. His profile is visible and public right now and trolls are eating it up.

Yeah. Mine has the ability to do that as well. I'm mostly going to use this for home use. May be overkill, but it is normally listed as a $500 laser selling for $250 on Amazon. Maybe the $500 was overpriced ?. Regardless, I kept looking at all these tripods and thinking that my laser is self leveling, so getting the tripod to be perfectly level is not as important. Only thing that seemed beneficial to me on the tripod was the ability to elevate to get high enough to hang level curtain rods on tall ceilings :). Thanks ;).

This could be considered pretty stupid, so troll away. I recently picked up a Dewalt DW0825LG Laser Level and wanted to get a tripod. I got it to assist me hanging cabinets, but know there are other applications to use around the house. I used it to hang curtain rods this past evening. I had about a 7 1/2' metal rod that I could put it on magnetically, but had to have someone hold the rod. I was thinking of getting a tripod, but when I look at these things I think back to when I was a kid and my father using an old tripod for a VHS camera recorder. I'm not seeing what is making these things so expensive? Even some of the construction ones look just like a simple camera tripod. What makes a laser level tripod good and what do contractors use when getting up in the 8-10 foot range? What is the benefit of elevating versus standard?

This year has turned out to be a dud so far. I was thinking about going out one more time before the end of the season. I went to PA and hunted with a relative, the amount of deer I saw there was crazy. I haven't seen a single deer on private or public land in Ohio this season :).

Went to Mackey-Ford Wildlife Area just south of Columbus 2 times this 2017 deer season. The first day I was there I heard about 7 sniffs / snort wheeze all in a row almost immediately at 30 mins prior to sunrise. I'm assuming the deer may have seen me and took off. Second day, about a week later, I went back (different location) and it was silent. Nothing out there. I went there a few times in the 2016 season and there was nothing. I think I'm done with this place (it is also really small) I've noticed in certain areas people have dumped large amounts of corn kernels and dog food out in the open. I've read some online horror stories about that area with people driving their trucks in the open field. Anyone ever been here and have any luck? I need to find another place. Can't go another year without a deer :). Last year I tried Simco a few times, but that place is difficult to get around. Tons of thorns and lots of cliffs and hills.

Called Fisherman's Warehouse yesterday and they seemed promising. They were acting as though it would be an easy fix and told me to come in. I show up today and the dude was like "I can't fix that, go talk to a gunsmith". Didn't make a lot of sense, so don't know if I talked to a different person on the phone. It is such a simple fix I don't know why they are having such an issue with it. The only thing stopping me from fixing it is my lack of having a drill press. Stopped by Vance Outdoors and they were no help as well. Maybe I'm crazy, but this can't be that hard to repair.

I have an older Barnett RC300 Crossbow that needs some TLC. It was recently restrung, but the two screws that hold the rail on are missing or broken off from last season. Also, the trigger somehow lost the rod that keeps it in place. I was thinking of repairing it myself, but I would have to drill out one of the screws in the rail and find screws that would fit without interfering with the bolt. I don't have a drill press, so I'd have to buy one. Didn't know if there was a easy place just to have them repair it rather fast... Any recommendations? Wasn't really looking to get another Crossbow just yet.

I was wanting to take my daughter backpacking a few miles into the woods and do an overnight or two. Was hoping to do some fishing to get dinner for us. She is eight years old, so don't want to do anything too strenuous. Any suggestions? I'm familiar with multinight backpacking, but never really looked much into fishing. She is the type that will have little patience with this at first, so want it to be relatively easy to catch some edible fish for the fire. If I have to go outside of Ohio I will. Obviously, scenary is always a plus if you have a place in mind. This would be her first backpacking experience.

I should probably mention I was in my car and not riding my motorcycle. That may be an important part of this story :).
