  1. Wow. My wife would be very jealous. We have a feeder and typically have 1 or 2 pair, plus young.
  2. Might also be a pine snake. http://www.tnwatchablewildlife.org/MOBILEdisplay2.cfm?habitat=&sort=aounumber&typename=Reptile&Taxonomicgroup=Reptile - Snakes
  3. I did a little googling and yes he did say that. The context is a bit questionable when you read the entire speech. For me, it's hard to say for sure how he meant it without hearing the speech in full.
  4. Sorry for your loss.
  5. Situational awareness, threat assessment, decision making, presentation, trigger control, all while under stress. The Olympics is a good example of advanced applications of the basics
  6. See if you can use my referral code... It saves us both a few bucks. https://secure.smugmug.com/signup?Coupon=VlcPcQWTe7dG6
  7. A little too close for comfort. Glad she's ok.
  8. I wouldn't ship it in anything that looked like a rifle case.
  9. I hope you've got a tractor that makes relatively quick work of it. I'd put the house in the same spot, but mow 1-2 acres around it, and let the rest go. The field is good habitat with enough mowed buffer to keep the critters away from the house. My in-laws have 5 acres and mow about 2. They (and several neighbors) let a nearby cattle farmer have the hay.
  10. You mow 6 acres? On purpose?
  11. I have a mix of fescue, weeds, and Bermuda. I've tried all the over-the-counter stuff, and none of it is a long term solution. It's just a neverending amount of time and money with little reward. If your neighbor's have weeds, you're gonna have weeds, and there's nothing you can do about it. If you want it to look like a golf course, hire one of the Green Lawn type companies to do the chemicals. It'll be cheaper in the long run. I gave up. It's green, I mow it, and that's good enough. Weeding the flowerbeds and tending the garden is more than enough work.
  12. A coworker has a twin barreled 10-.22 gatling gun. I've never seen it shot, but have heard tales. It most assuredly does not have a way to attach a cordless drill.
  13. No, it's goooosefraabaa. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Possibly nsfw.
  14. Mags? Not mags, firearms. One of each, 2 of many, 3 of some, ...
  15. Wow. That was fast. I guess the customer just played dead and they ignored him? If so, he's really lucky.
  16. Goooosefraaabaaaa
  17. If you'll save enough money to cover a fragged gun and the associated medical bills, go for it. Otherwise, I'd never shoot cartridges reloaded by someone I don't know (and a few I do know).
  18. It was carbureted so no knock sensors and hence the need for 100% gas regardless of octane. I spent 3 years and half the value of the bike fixing damage to the fuel system caused by ethanol. The fuel system in anything less than 10 years old was likely designed with E10 fuel in mind, so using it won't cause the corrosion and seal degradation that's common in older stuff. If the compression ratio in a naturally aspirated engine with aluminum heads and EFI is less than 10:1, 87 octane is fine. Things like direct injection and boost change the game.
  19. My CBR listed 91 minimum but ran just fine on 100% 87. No knocks, no pings, I couldn't tell any difference.
  20. One of each, 2 of many, 3 of some....
  21. Save the avgas for airplanes. It's not a good idea in cars for several reasons.... As stated, it contains lead. It'll mess up any car with emissions equipment. It'll clog up cats and cause sensors to fail. It's illegal for road use. I seriously doubt you'll find an airport that will let you fill up your car, most won't even let you fill up a 5 gal can. If they get caught selling you leaded gas for anything other than airplanes, they'll get fined by the EPA. It doesn't burn efficiently in naturally aspirated or low compression engines. 100LL is harder to ignite and requires higher compression, most cars will make more power on 87 pump gas. The reason it blew a big fireball was build-up of unburned fuel in the exhaust. That said, race gas sure does smell good.

  23. That's gotta be a bit of an adventure in the cockpit trying to stay straight and level while 50,000 lbs of cargo loaded off center gets dumped out the back.
  24. It's a must see. There's so much there, plan for 2 days if you're the type that likes to read all the placards and just stand and stare for a while. Have some sunscreen for the outside parts of it. Best I recall, you can't carry there but I don't recall any sort of check point or metal detectors (which they do have at Kennedy Space Center).
