I see about a third of the shooters use 97’s where I go.

I have a 18Kw whole house Generac, with an Automatic Transfer Switch and fueled by Natural Gas.
I opted for that after observing a neighbour's solar panel set up get severely damaged by a coupe of high wind incidents and a Derecho.
I have a 14kw with an ATS also fueled by Natural Gas.

Starting positions I like that I think make sense:
1. Texas surrender
2. hands at side
3. rifle, shotgun or pistol/pistols in hand.
That’s the only ones I use for the stages I write.-

This is something else that puzzles me.
If you have a generator - let's say you got a generac to take care of your whole house if the power goes out.
You are supposed to have a lockout system, so that the electricity you're generac is making will not go back upstream. That way, when the lineman is up on the pole trying to fix the power, electricity coming from your house will not come running along the wire and electrocute his butt.
This makes sense.
So you have the lockout whenever you are generating electricity. And when they have the power turned back on, you disconnect your generator, and then you can unlock it so the electricity comes back to your house. Wonderful.
But if you have solar, you are never not generating electricity.
According to my latest electric bill I used 632 kilowatt hours last month. That's basically 21 a day. And I have solar panels that produce 25 kilowatt hours a day. So I'm sending 4 KW hours a day back upstream. And there's a guy across the street working on the pole. Why ain't I electrocuting him?
It just seems that if my generac would zap him, my solar panels would zap him.
My Generac was installed with a lockout so as not the harm any lineman. It’s state code, probably federal code also. When the power goes off it switches automatically to natural gas.

My parents were FDR democrats, they lived through the depression and always said how FDR helped them, I’m sure they voted dem but I remember as a kid my dad saying he liked Ike. Later he also said Reagan was doing a good job even though he didn’t vote for him. I think my dad was a “closet republican “ 😂😂😂

I have the inverter and batteries. I purchased my system and it is set up so that if the grid goes offline, I will keep going on solar / batteries. I have a few neighbors that have leased systems without batteries and the inverter hooked up only to feed the grid that have no solar power if the grid goes down.
I was not as concerned about energy costs as I was grid reliability. I wanted to have power when the grid is offline.
I went with a Generac generator for piece of mind. We’ve had a bunch of power outages this year.

I don't think that they're going to find much life on comets simply because of the temperatures and lack of atmosphere. Bacteria maybe, but nothing more than that.
Ahh but bacteria is life!!!

Really? They were attack ads as far back as the country’s founding.

That's just it ... I have several Favorite Carry Guns!
Gotcha! I only have two, a revolver and a Glock. I’m more comfortable with the revolver though.

A gun scribe, years ago, wrote in response to a similar question, "Asking a gun man to pick his favorite is like asking the Sheik to choose his favorite from his hareem.
"Each has particular charms, each does something exquisitely well."
The only thing I would disagree with is the question is what’s your favorite gun to CARRY not favorite overall. I have several guns that I like much better than the one I carry but I don’t like them for carry.

Just when you thought you’ve heard everything this comes along! If I was the TO I would have said, pick up your hat and put it on your head. I will not start the timer until you do. If you refuse, go to the unloading table SDQ

If I were in that situation, I'd probably give each one of them a $2500 gift certificate from my favorite gun store.
Besides, I think that while a parent can gift their own children a gun, I don't know if you could a niece or nephew. That might be considered a "straw purchase" by the BATFE. Especially 35 of them.
If they’re old enough you can gift them. I can gift anyone a gun in Ohio as long as they’re a legal resident and meet the age requirement .

There’s a great historical alias for someone!
Tuning an organ, fifth largest in the world
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted · Edited by Rye Miles #13621
I’ve been in a few churches tuning a piano when the organ tuner/repairman comes in. If it’s a big pipe organ it takes a while. I’ve seen some big ones but nothing like this one! Holy smokes!🫨 That’s gotta be a heckuva job!
