  1. I use 200gr Hornady TAP, but they're getting hard to find. Most any modern JHP will be fine, just verify function before you trust your life to it.

    24/7 G2

    The double strike trigger is based on how the vast majority of people react to a FTF.... they pull the trigger again. Most people don't practice tap/rack/bang enough to make it instinct (likely me included). The instinct, particularly under stress, is to simply pull the trigger again. I like trigger on my PT145. Sure, it's no Les Baer custom 1911, but I don't expect it to be either.
  3. Ah. I'd be a tad frightened that the original installer couldn't tell the difference between a heat pump and a gas furnace. Thermostats are easy to install. The wires are color-coded... yellow wire here, blue wire there, etc. Not to mention that he should have verified heat and AC functionality before he left. Anyway, glad its working properly now.
  4. Glad you got it fixed but if the above it true, you should invest in some insulation and look for air leaks. The house shouldn't cool off that fast. Definitely not to within 1 deg of the outside temp over-night. Insulation Fact Sheet
  5. If you're just perforating paper, why not choose something that's easier on the wallet and the shoulder? .17HMR, .223, .243, etc.
  6. Get one of these, put a little salt in a cup of warm water, and go to town. Works great for clearing out the sinuses. oh, and say no to crack.
  7. You can't hide money. Somehow a turbo wankel in a bimmer body is just wrong. This, for a traditional inline or V-X configuration engine. It's a sign that you're running too much boost pressure. This happens because the cylinder pressure is so high that the head is flexing and the intake charge is blowing past the head gaskets. It needs to be modified for more head bolts. An engine won't last long in that configuration. But this engine is a rotary so it doesn't have traditional cylinder heads, so I'm not exactly sure what's going on.
  8. I've worn my supertuck against my skin with no comfort issues.
  9. I think all those old Triumphs, Nortons, and such are neat. I think I'd like to have one, but I'm sure I wouldn't want to maintain it.
  10. Home - Monster Miata <- Cool cars. I hope the cooling system is up to the task in that Fiero. I've no doubt that it's a hoot to drive.
  11. Boring? Not really. Have to watch poorly produced videos made in the 80's? Yep. Worth every second? Yep. It's all in the instructor. A good one can make it entertaining and informative. If the class seems boring to you, ask some questions. Generate some discussion. It will help everyone relax and you'll enjoy it more.
  12. I wouldn't risk my life/health based on the opinion of one uninformed judge. Unfortunate as it may be, in today's legal system the paper trail is very important. Get the restraining order. Call 911 anytime you see him. File assault charges. I would think his attacking anyone with his Hep C virus would be considered assault with a deadly weapon. "Intent to inflict grave bodily injury" at least. Same as people who know they are infected and spit on cops. Armed response is clearly justified IMO. But I'm not a judge. At the very least, it really sucks that you have to deal with this. Especially since it's your brother. I'd hate to give in to him, but is moving an option?
  13. While the above certainly seems to be true, I think you did the right thing.
  14. With Phil, Sig, Andy, and Jonathan gone, the show is done. I'll turn off my DVR.

    Taurus 24/7 OSS

    The 24/7 compact and PT145 are essentially the same gun. AFAIK, the differences are cosmetic. You want to look for a 3rd generation (I think) PT145, which is easily identified by the presence of the accessory rail. Prior versions had frame cracking issues.
  16. If properly cared for, at least 30 years. My Dad built a 2-story deck on the house I grew up in. We cleaned and sealed it roughly annually. 25 years later, it was still very solid. You'll think that right up until you price the plastic stuff. The cheap, ugly plastic stuff is double the cost. The pretty plastic stuff is 4x more. Wood deck maintenance involves 2 afternoons a year and at most $200. And you still have to clean the plastic stuff.

  19. You're definitely gonna have to use something dark/opaque to cover that, more like paint than stain. A pressure washer should knock off most of the loose stuff. I wouldn't even consider standing it. Don't know how much sun it gets, but be sure it's had a good 48 hrs to dry before you start staining. I'd get a quart and try a small area to see how it looks/covers first.
  20. I used to travel fairly regularly for business, occasionally internationally. I'd stick a small zip tie through the zipper pulls to "lock" my luggage. I'd also put a few spare zip ties in a ziplock bag right on top. On a few occasions, when I opened my bag at my destination or at home, I'd find the note from TSA in my bag stating it had been searched. Every time, a zip tie had been reinstalled.
  21. I stained the deck at my previous house a couple years ago. I prepped it by spraying with a pressure washer then let it dry for a few days. If it was really bad, I'd use a mixture of TSP and Clorox. I rolled the stain on and had mucho problems with it being splotchy. Based on a friend's results, thinning the stain and using a power sprayer is much easier. Just like painting anything else, several thin coats works better than one thick coat. As stated, just be sure to mask off EVERYTHING you don't want stained... the house, the plants, etc. The stuff gets everywhere and, well... stains.
  22. It's just me for a couple days, so I'm not worried about it. If my family was along for the ride, it'd be different. Like any big city, there's nice places and not-so-nice places. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
  23. I like Tex-Mex food and I've heard its excellent there. I also intend to try this place as well... Goode Company | Goode Company Bar-B-Q mmmmm.... bbq Unfortunately my employer might think differently. And I prefer to remain employed.
  24. I'm flying in so no guns for me. Staying downtown, near the convention ctr. Find any good food?
