  1. Dem Maui Jim's be lookin' purdy tasty. Closest thing to the leggeros i've seen.
  2. These are what the leggeros look like, for reference. https://www.opticsplanet.com/serengeti-legerro-sunglasses.html
  3. The Dante's are nice, but have way more metal/framing. The reason I love the Leggeros is there is minimal metal/framing.
  4. My favorite pair of sunglasses finally bit the dust after about a decade. I need suggestions on possible suitable replacements as these ones are discontinued. They were by far the favorite pair I've ever had. Serengeti Leggero 6906 Polarized Really not wanting to spend $250+ on a pair of sunglasses, but obviously you are going to pay for quality and I am usually a quality over quantity kind of guy. I don't like big, bulky, heavy glasses. Something as close to the leggeros as possibly would be ideal. Open to all suggestions that are close to those.
  5. I'm going to be that tree hugging falconer here and ask that you not use poison. When you use poison, you typically harm and kill much more than just the intended target. I've seen it and dealt with it first hand with raptors, but it doesn't just pertain to raptors. Any predator eating a mouse that has been poisoned will also suffer the consequences. That being said, Shawn from Moustrap Monday's on youtube has some AWESOME trapping solutions, and the videos of his traps in action are pretty entertaining. https://www.youtube.com/user/historichunter
  6. Tork Motorsports has done a LOT of work on the stinger. I'd imagine a lot of the stuff transfers. You can look them up on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/user/ptperformance
  7. I have a 2011 F150 SCREW FX4 Ecoboost with 157,xxx miles. I'm not getting anything any time soon, ha ha. It's paid off, and I like not having to make payments.
  8. Nice pickup! I love the the Stingers and G70's on paper. Would love to get into eithe rone some day, but just not practical at this point, (I need a truck/SUV for what I do).
  9. Tim, i've heard so many good things about the marauder. It's relatively quiet for the power it puts out. .25 is unregulated so you get a lower shot count, but lots of muzzle energy. Definitely geared towards hunters. I know the .22 has a lothar walther barrel option, and a regulator option which gives you a LOT more consistent shots, but obviously not the same knockdown power as .25. I spent months researching and going over reviews for options within my price range and it came down to the Marauder and The Vectis (with the Vectis being a little less expensive) and I wound up going with the Vectis as I got an excellent deal on it. (Some lady won it and a Hatsan hand pump in a raffle, shot it once or twice, and decided she had no use for it). While nowhere near on the level of anything from the FX lineup, I can hit a bullseye pretty consistently at 50yrds, and I have it sighted in at 70yrds, though you will notice the the shots drop quite a bit as the air pressure is depleted due to it being unregulated. This is mine: https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Hatsan_Vectis_Lever_Action_PCP_Air_Rifle/4787#9540 I have a UTG bipod on it and a Athlon Argos scope. The only pellet I can find my individual gun to group well with is the JSB 18.13g, and i've tried a LOT of different pellets. The JSB is the only one it really likes. What I'd LOVE to get... https://utahairguns.com/fx-wildcat-mkii/ or https://utahairguns.com/airguns/fx-dreamline/ But that's a bit out of my price range for the time being.
  10. Well, looks like not a whole lot of you are into them. Ha ha Another thing I like about them, is on a lot of them, you can put some pretty awesome moderators on them, so they can get pretty quiet. Even with a moderator, mine is decently loud, like a loud nail gun, but one morning a few weeks back I popped 4 squirrels in my front yard withing 10min. I missed the 5th :/
  11. Air rifles certainly are NOT what they were when I was a kid 20yrs ago. The technology is nuts these days. I've been watching guys on youtube that regularly take 100yrd+ shots with ease. Some of these guys are hitting pigeons at 200yrds+ off silos with air rifles. A few months ago I got a lower end PCP .22 (Hatsan Vectis) and have just been slaying starlings, squirrels, etc. I'd love to get something from the FX lineup in .25cal some day when the wallet allows. But man, it's nice to get an air rifle dialed in and be able to consistently hit starlings at 50yrds+. Falconry is still my #1 method of hunting, but in the off season or when falconry isn't practical, man, i'm in love with a good PCP Air Rifle and a good scope. Anyone else into them?
  12. 90% of the time I run 87 in my 2011 3.5L Ecobootht F150. Been this way since 2011. A little better performance during the hotter months with 93, but not usually enough for me to spend the extra dough. If this was 2005 when 93 was $.20/gal more than 87, sure, i'd run that every time. Not when it's $.60/gal more though. I just don't feel I see the return on investment.
  13. Yeah, there was one over by the old k-mart, but other end of the plaza. Owner rode a gnarly motorcycle. Bunch of us losers would hang out there after school. It's where I bought my first setup, and a bought shoes and stuff from there for a while as well. They closed at some point, but I can't recall when. I was only at the one downtown once.
  14. Good stuff man. Always good to support a local business when you can. Anybody know if Blacksheep skate shop is still around? Used to be in the plaza where K-Mart used to by by Gahanna Lincoln HS. Then I think they had one down town iirc.
  15. Alien Workshop Decks were the shiz.
  16. Did you know Mowgli, or Jeff Tracen from Gahanna?
  17. Alien Workshop deck, tensor trucks, whatever wheels and bearings.
  18. Bob addresses how gravitational forces affect inertia, and also how propulsion via gravity/anti-gravity is not like going a million mph. You are bending space/time around you. I've seen other unrelated scientific articles talking about how warp speed would actually work and it's not the speed of the craft, but the craft is actually moving space/time around it. Bob also states that the gravity field around the craft distorts your visual perception. I.E. some observers state the crafts they have seen seemed to be violently shaking/rapid movements. Bob states that is most likely a visual distortion and they aren't actually moving like that. On the side of people navigating them, if these things were discovered decades ago, i'm sure human curiosity has made is take a shot at maneuvering them. He also made a point to say they stayed relatively close and weren't doing nutty things like going into outer space. These are prized possessions we don't really understand. But I could see you dropping a car off in the 1700's and people eventually figuring out how to turn it on and drive it, even though they don't understand the fine inner workings.
  19. And that...is the kind of counter-balance we need. I don't "want" to believe anything other than the truth, whatever that may be. Would the existence of these technologies be cool? Yup. But I don't want to believe they exist if they don't, and I wouldn't lose sleep at night know they don't. Just want to know whats up.
  20. Well, Los Alamos denied him having been employed there until a phone directory was discovered that proved he was telling the truth. So it's not really that far out there to think that our government couldn't essentially erase his existence if they wanted to. His birth certificate went missing too IIRC. The other thing that inclines me to believe him is that he is very open about what he doesn't know and that he had very limited access. Was on a craft once. Never actually saw an extraterrestrial. That the propulsion system he worked on defied known physics and he knows it sounds nuts. That they were communicating to a person inside the craft using UFH (maybe it was VHF) and that shouldn't be possible. It made no sense. So if he was making all this up, why even state that detail about using a radio to talk to a person that was operating the craft and that it should be impossible to do? That whole little detail could be left out of the story. It serves no purpose other than to show just how nuts his own story really is.
  21. I am more fascinated by the technology he is talking about actually handling and the fact that the implication from his briefings was that these were old/ancient and were found in archaeological excavations, than I am actual extra terrestrials out there somewhere.
  22. Fascinating interview. Is Bob Lazar Telling the truth? He's been pretty consistent since the 80's, and I can't see any advantages to him lying about all this; but a lot of disadvantages... What's everyone's thoughts? I'm a pretty skeptical guy in just about everything...but this guy's story is pretty freaking intriguing.
  23. Pellet gun. Become a Falconer and fly a cooper's hawk on them. More pellet gun.
