Don't even get me started on those dangly-legged devils! It's been a BAD year!
Yes, they are nesting everywhere. Hell, I killed a 30 cell nest hanging on one of my gates.
They had a good one in the gable end attic vent, and nest inside the drain holes on some of the crappy window frames we have.
Between blasts from the propane hose and wasp spray I must've killed 10,000 of those little bastards this summer.
My infestations have been comparatively minor I guess.

Burned the nest in the ground this past week. One stung the wife and within 20 minutes I had the ambulance on the way. We didn't know she was allergic, just thankful it happened at home and not out camping or hiking, would have been a different outcome.

I fired up the grill for the first time in a month (i know sad excuse for a man), started hearing some strange noises and cranked all four burners on high.. 2m later opened the lid to see a bunch of tiny little smoldering carcases and a good softball sized nest smoking like crazy... left it on high.. waited 30 mins.. cleaned the grill and cooked. I'm not allergic, but i've been stung by 2 dozen hornets back home.. I don't fuck around with those bastards. There is another nest somewhere between the fence and the neighbors house and we can't see it.. we know it's there..just can't find the damn thing.

It might be required to get the old one out.
New fuel line kit took care of the Homelite string trimmer, not so lucky with the edger. Pretty sure the feed line inside the tank had come apart and the filter dropped. No telling how long it was running like that but it stopped working two summers ago and I let it sit without getting any StaBil through it so the ethanol probably etched the carb or what fuel might have been in there varnished. I cleaned the crud from the secondary screen in the carb, and blew out the passages, but no amount of cleaning so far would make it stay running. Would start after prime but not run. Always seemed to be starving for fuel. The little rubber plug/valve under the primer bulb came apart too.
Since a carb on ebay is $27 shipped, I'm hopeful that will solve the problem.

Unless you're after that moat-like gap from the walkway, you're f**kin' up if you can't use your trimmer to properly edge your lawn. Gas is too much of a headache when it comes to blowers/edgers/trimmers with today's lithium tech.

I guess it was well past time replace something that worked a bit better.

Not as big as my last one and the door shelves don't adjust. What refrigs that had the options and did not have crap reviews were too big to fit my old house.
GE 18.2; now that I have a freezer chest the smaller refrig will work well.

Well, I own this shit now. I like lithium in my cordless drills, I'll stick with gas for the outdoor gear thank you very much.
The edger isn't required all the time. In fact, it's been idle for two summers now. The trimmer doesn't always get used because the wife usually cuts the grass in front and is supposed to be edging. When it gets neglected, the edger is then required to get things back in shape. Long overdue now as the sod has overtaken the concrete edge.
On second thought, FO, it's my yard and I'll make a giant moat if I want, to keep the goat fuckers out of my castle.

I also prefer gas for lawn equipment. Although my mower has a lithium battery for the starter. I had an electric (110v) edger that worked well but it took a shit last year. I am contemplating getting a gas one to replace it.

Nice, I bought the same Talon grips for the same gun recently. I bet the guys at Bowers would have installed them for free, unlike where I bought mine, trying to milk me for 5 bucks for an install, no thank you.

The .308 is an "RFB". Rumor is that the RFB is going to be phased out and new calibers will be coming in the RDB. I would not mess with an RFB...just my opinion.

I'm not sure it's worth $130 for me. We have a decent corded one (Porter Cable I think) that my wife deploys once per year to cut down dead ornamental grasses. So 1) it doesn't get used often 2) it does minimal light duty work & 3) I don't even get to use it. I'm trying to arrive at a point where I can justify the price tag ($200 toll & battery or $130 tool only) but I just can't get there try as I might & I'm a self-proclaimed Dewalt snob.

My 2004.5 5.9L is still going strong, had a mild tune since 5K miles (Edge Juice). I run 1-2 for mileage and towing, 3 around town for fun, doesn't see 4-5 much as the trans isn't built. Mileage increase never really pays for the cost of the box, but helps offset my fun mode.

That's awesome! I have an 8" can in 5.56 that I built. It's pretty quiet and doesn't have a change in POI with it on the rifle. I'm waiting on another Form 1 for my 30 cal can. I'm going to bore it out just a bit so I can use it on a 9mm AR.

It accessories all my outfits. When the piston comes in it will go nicely with my FNP tactical.

Picked up a nice used Kahr K40 for only treefiddy!
I'm happy with it ... its an early factory black gun (so its carbon steel, not stainless). Emailed Kahr and they say it was manufactured September of 1996.
Love these steel Kahrs, this is the third one I've owned (the other two were MK Elite98s).
Actually looks better in person than in pics.

^^^^^That's a virtual twin to mine and I love these K40’s as well. I actually like the carbon steel ones, maybe because they are a great value. These fit really well into most 1911 Officers holsters. I’m hoping someday I can find a 357 Sig barrel for mine, what pocket rocket that would be.

I had a West German P225 several years ago. Helped me fall in love with external hammer pistols. But I got rid of it after (this is weird) I had a couple dreams in which I had to use it, and it had no effect on the targets. Totally lost faith in the gun. I've never had that dream again with any other handgun I've owned, even when I've tried to (thought about the events of the dream as I was dozing off at night).

Even with a plow I've been told you should plow with the snow, not wait for it to pile up 3' tall. So I don't mine going out several times to make a few passes. I'm on gravel also so traction is not an issue. I've read that chains on pavement can tear shit up.

I never run chains on pavement or not. Decent tires and if needed strap weight to it. Keep your air and speeds low.
Measure to the bottom of the chassis and plow before it gets that high if possible. You can't really drag with them. Keep wrenches and cable clamps on hand so you can repair a broken cable.

Yes. The salesperson said it's pretty much a waist of money to insulate unless the garage is adjacent to a bedroom (for noise) but my wife wanted it. I think it was an extra $100.

Did you get an alignment done? Did you end up with the new tires on the front or back? If there is a decent difference, the better treads should be on the back, especially with winter weather on the way.

That might be fine and dandy for you but I'd rather have the wheels that steer have as much traction as possible. I can deal with the back end being lose better than the front end being pushed around.

Nice cat. What unit? How are you going to get your socks now?

Unit 511 outside Florissant.
I was actually hunting coyotes on my property when this guy snuck in after 5 minutes of a wounded rabbit call. I've spotted cats on multiple occasions since then. Not sure how many are about.
I just got the mount back from Timberline yesterday and set it up in my daughter's room for her amusement. It's up on a ledge now.
ETA: The live cat is the one Sparky gave me - best cat I ever had. Thanks again Sparky!

all beautiful!!
DeSantis Mad Max (copy of the Sparks VMII). Right now it actually fits me better than the original VMII, makes my 5" 1911 disappear under even a t-shirt. With a full size gripped pistol I still have to be cautious in how I move reaching down for things in public as the grip does print but that's been true for every full size gun I've ever used. Great value at $65, had it for a bit over a month and so far I'm very happy with it.
The pistol is a custom build from 2004 by Andy Anderson in Golden. Caspian slide/frame, Ed Brown safeties and ignition parts, Koening hammer, Novak sights, Kart barrel and bushing, very accurate and 100% reliable.

Very nice indeed!
Love to see steel, wood, and leather - the way guns were intended.
After way too much looking, this came up locally. I know the owner and let's say he is fastidious about keeping things in perfect running order.

Geared low and will drag your ass up just about anything.

Fun to be had soon, even if it is the end of the season.

I keep coming across old 22’s and can’t seem to pass them up. Picked up the middle Remington 12, last month. I found the Winchester 1906 on the bottom yesterday. I also previously posted a Remington 34 bolt NRA model and a stainless 10/22 I picked up two months ago. I think I need an intervention.

60K miles on my 2004.5 RAM 2500 CTD OE shocks, thinking about a new set. These seem to have a following.
Any reason to consider anything else? Mostly highway driving/towing with some light off road camping/hunting.

There are lots of options, I had bad luck with ProComp in the past. But good with Bilsteins on a car. Highly recommended in the PSD forums for an Ex, got a decent price. Thought I'd try them in the big SUV.

I put the 5100s on my 4Runner and they were the cats pajamas. The ride was night and day better. I'm thinking of putting a set on my Sierra 2500 to get rid of the stock Ranchos.
I put Bilsteins on my Tahoe almost 4 years ago-very happy with them.

Yes, 02 7.3L Limited.
X/B code leaf springs someplace between here and Arlington. Hopefully I've got a weekend project. Just threw the steering stabilizer on.
No idea how old the current shocks are, beyond the 20k miles I've owned it.

I bought leaf springs, front and rear. Might have helped me with the cost of the shocks.

Opportunity knocked today, I answered. Should be here in 10 days. Salient tier 1 g19. Picture is from Hawk Arms. I paid for it today, so figured it is still a purchase.

Gorgeous, do mod'd Glocks really run that much better than a well used one? I can't imagine anything shooting much better than my loved 17 or 19.

well some will say they do and some will say they don't. I've put many rounds through well used G19s and a Salient G19. To me, the Salient runs smoother, has less felt recoil and faster to get back on target on follow up shots. The grip and frame work on the Salient fits my hands 100% better than stock.

You just have to decide if they run $ 2,625.00 (according to Salient website) better. I can get an Ed Brown Executive carry for $70 more....

My only opinion is to shoot a salient and make your own deduction. For some it's not worth the $$. To me, it is. It's not going to be a safe queen. I shoot a lot. It will be my edc. I also have a problem liking and wanting not so common goodies. It's a curse.
I want to send my g19 to agency arms but I just don't have they money to drop on that, even if they do have a 50/50 payment plan.

I have another g19 I had done by performance industries in Vegas. Outstanding mill work, cerakote, and grip/frame work.

Be careful with those 3 wheelers , they tip over easy. I've come close to rolling my 4x a few times. Road tested a 3x , barely made it off the showroom floor. Well i came this >< close to ending up on the floor
You must have missed the part about how it's for the MOTHER-IN-LAW.

I'm a professional. :) I have all three wheelers, I recently rented one for my vegas trip and they gave me a 4 wheeler by accident. What a pain in the ars that thing was, can't turn around for nothing. forward back forward back. haha. Made them pick up the 4 wheeler and get the 3. If you balance just right, you can ride on 2 wheels.
For the MIL - whatever. She'll wreck it. I doubt she'll be able to use it much, she probably won't be able to pick up all the parts and assemble it on each trip to the store.
