    Motor oil and filters for our cars - I have finally come to my senses and become practical in my old age

    Chemical formula for Natural Gas is CH4, one part carbon and 4 parts Hydrogen. It occasionally has some condensates in it that are collected in a pipeline but condensates are not oil, unless you count the compressor oil that bypassed the turbine. It was burned in the 1930's and 40's as "drip...

    Interesting Scam

    My standard answer is "I ain't too drunk to fish". That usually lets people know that I am not interested and gives a cause to contest any charges due to competence.

    Interesting Scam

    At my wifes' family reunion last week the local town was having a fair. There was a man there selling coffins for $400, pure stained pine and rope handles guaranteed up to 400 lbs. That price is tough to beat.

    IME, the screened in patio would be locked, contain the gas meter and it would be behind some storage pallets.

    Basic vehicle tool kit?

    1973 I went to diesel mechanic school. My advisor told us to have a spare tool kit in every vehicle. Besides the stuff mentioned, keep fuses, a good flashlight, [I reverse batteries so it won't come on]. Water and some energy bars are good if it isn't freezing weather, then you need an emergency...

    The Ultimate One Way Ticket

    I wonder what the reception would be if 1000 extraterrestrials came to various parts of this world. Would they receive different welcomes in Moscow than in New York? What would they face if they landed in one of the Middle Eastern countries that has had conflict ongoing for decades? If they all...

    38 special brass- what brand do you like by best? Any to avoid?

    I sort my brass by headstamp and cannelured wadcutter brass. I keep the big three together and lump Hornaday, and other misc brass together. I buy Starline if buying new and usually make 30 Badger brass out of it by running it through a 30 Mauser die. I get better groups in all cartridges...

    Spyderco knives - did a bit of research this morning and learned quite a bit!

    Nice report on your knife. For future reference, the white ties on shipping boxes and appliances open easily if you find where they are joined, turn the plastic over and pull on the stub from the back side. 90% of the time no blade is needed.

    Ruger PC Carbine

    I wouldn't call it disastrous either. Mine has an even break but not a crisp one. It may improve with a lot of shooting or I might just get more used to it. IMO, it is much better than an SKS but not nearly as good as a bench rest target rifle. It just is a little different.

    Ackley Improved

    It will not give you the 40 degree shoulder but neither will it resize the current shoulder. I think the shop ordered the wrong one. Titan Products is a good place to order Lee stuff if you are looking online.

    Ruger PC Carbine

    I think Shrek of the Arctic described it best. I like mine because of the folding capability and 4' accuracy at 100 yards. It is too heavy, IMO, and I am glad it came with a Glock magazine well. I don't own a Glock 9 but you can find a bunch of inexpensive magazines for it. Mine wears a 4x Riton...

    24-3 3"

    I bought a 4" we agreed was probably unfired 2 years ago, No box but tools and paperwork for $1450 and think I did excellent. I would try to get it for less but take a hard look at it if you like the cartridge.

    Work ethic

    In 1972 I was a 17 yr o;ld HS Senior. I was cleaning out a sewer drain in the employment of my fathers business. I was on top of the roof going down through the vent and the slight oriental man next to me said "All my neighbors hate me". I said "Man that is just wrong, why?" He replied that...

    Big Brother?

    I knew an FBI agent who spent 3 or 5 years in Puerto Rico. For that assignment he was given his choice of a next assignment. He chose a small reservation in Oregon. Most Indian Reservation Police departments cannot investigate Federal crimes, murder or several others. An FBI agent is assigned to...

    Conversion of 32 to 32H&R

    The best reason to ream it is if you have an I frame which might share the same ammunition you load as Outpost75 described above.
