    Need Advice From Members With Breathing Problems.

    Need Advice From Members With Breathing Problems My wife had bronchial pneumonia that required hospitalization. She also was on Prednisone, up to 40 mg. Albuterol was also prescribed and anti-biotics. The Prednisone caused her to bulk up so much that she looked like a chipmunk. Kroger profits...

    Bad Day for Delta at ATL

    I agree with CH4. You can see that the CRJ aircraft was not stopped forward enough in the "Hold Short" position on the taxiway (civilian vehicles are parked there in this picture). My opinion-I would have thought that the co-pilot of the larger jet would have seen this situation during their...

    Bad Day for Delta at ATL

    I am waiting for the CVR for that Alaska Airlines jet when the tower or ATC radioed "Cancel takeoff clearance"! At around 120 knots the aircraft must have been close to rotation speed. He was below V1, but the cockpit crew deserves a lot of credit for stopping the aircraft safely, albeit they...

    Need Window Repair Advice

    Arlo, If you think that it's an Anderson windows, that's also where I would start. I think that you have double pane windows that have a seal (gas ?) between the panes. If so, I'm not sure that it can be repaired. We have had three of ours replaced and a friend in St. Simons has had five of...

    Interesting recent TSA and INS experiences

    Interesting TSA and INS experience Steve, This may explain part of the issue. About two weeks ago a young dude was stalking an attractive woman in the airport. The woman boarded the correct airplane and the stalker, who did not have a ticket for that flight followed her on board just like he...

    GRADUATED - BUT NOW THE BIG DILEMMA!

    chief38, I'll cast my vote for the 12-hour tours. I've been following all of your posts and you have received some outstanding training from an excellent department. I have not heard your comment on this aspect, but I would think that the department can always use an extra professional on...

    Which app?

    Brent, We always use iExit - Just a moment... It requires the activation of "Location Services" in your iPhone, but then it tracks where you are (we usually always use the Interstate) and provides the following information for the next Exit coming up: 1. Gas Stations by brand and price...

    .41 mag question

    Jeff, I came to enjoy shooting my S&W .41 Magnum several years before Covid struck. I had already reached the point in time in which the .44 Magnum was just too much recoil to enjoy. As has been said, the .41 Magnum is a perfect step up from the .38 Special/.357 Magnum. Fun to shoot, always...

    COSTCO Ammo Storage Bins

    I received my Costco order this week, and yesterday I finally had the time to unpack the storage boxes. Ammo is heavy, and as other posts have stated, I have always preferred the metal storage cans. I added a few pictures for clarity. 1. The storage boxes do contain a seal around the edge of...

    Any motorcyclists here?

    I don't ride motorcycles any more - it's not me, but the idiot four-wheeler drivers. I understand what you have said but I would still go to the tire dealer for an opinion. I know that they are in the business of selling tires, but a. it's not usually the regular (?) roads that cause tire...

    HOW LONG SHOULD I KEEP THIS STUFF?

    I believe that there are several categories that apply. My wife and I always go through our past year files during the Super Bowl. Here's the "buckets" or categories that I recommend: 1. Non-Tax Return Related-one year, i.e. electric & gas bills 2. Tax Return Related-seven years. A tax...

    Cautious about soaking in Ed's Red.

    I am not sure whether or not this helps, but IF you want to clean a gunked up firearm, boiling water does work. +1 for Pisgah and xsexcess! In July 1965 I started my way in the Marine Corps at Parris Island SC. We were issued new M-14s that were full of cosmoline. You wouldn't believe...

    Cautious about soaking in Ed's Red.

    +1 for dfariswheel! I'm not going to repeat what has already been posted. 1. I also bought the Kunhausen book, plus I ordered Jerry Miculek's DVD from Amazon ("The Complete Revolver Disassembly/Reassembly") 2. If you remove the sideplate, it's under spring tension. Jerry will show you...

    Model 41 ammo recommendation

    My thanks to everyone who has replied to my OP. As is obvious, and I'm "blowing my cover", I have very little knowledge and experience with rim-fire ammo. My entire life has been with center-fire ammo. Over the years I have heard many experienced shooters extol the benefits associated with 22...

    Model 41 ammo recommendation

    I may be off target on this one, but other Model 41 owners have recommended CCI Mini Mag Standard Velocity ammo. I was in Bass Pro today and the closest that I saw was CCI Mini MagTarget ammo Was it the same, or have I missed it completely? Bill

    Methods of Payment for Weapon Sales

    NFrameFred nailed it! In today's world I don't mind waiting three weeks for the check to clear for a Seller, and for the Seller to know that his/her bank will not reject the deposit. A few weeks ago one of my tax clients was "hit" with a "check washing" scheme. The client entered my name in...

    Moving

    Gary, I believe that you will be pleased with your decision. There are many excellent places to live in Williamson County. We lived in Austin from 1991-2010 (Travis County). Our youngest son lives in Georgetown, and our oldest son lives in Cedar Park. That area is no longer a "well kept...

    The CooLest RC Jet Ever!

    I agree 100%. The owner-pilot must have some really big bucks invested in this RC aircraft! I wonder what his V1 & V2 are? It looks like he "rotated" at the departure end of the runway! Cheers! Bill
