Keep in mind that surveys mean absolutely nothing. I could only read a portion of the so-called survey as they required membership to continue. They surveyed 1,099 people. There are well past 300,000,000 people in the US. That's .00000037%. Sorry guys, this survey, like all other surveys, means nothing.

If you use Minute Rice, does it cut the tumble time by much?

I miss the guy on the left.

I was actually referring to the new Dodge Dart. The old ones are classically ugly.

Now they cost ten times that. Still just as ugly though, perhaps even uglier.

I use Frankeford Arsenal Brass Polish with crushed walnut media. I use the recommended amount, may just a tad more. I use a Thumler's Tumbler (vibratory) and run it about 24 hours. Brass comes out new looking. Don't try to use too much polish/cleaner of any kind or you'll wish you hadn't...trust me on this. I use Lizard Litter as described in Dacotua's post as it is far cheaper than mail order media. There are three Pet Smart type stores within one mile of my house so that factors in also. It also makes changing media a lot less expensive also. Special note - Always, and I mean always do media separation from the brass outside. If you can, set up a fan to push the air away from you as you separate, it'll help with the dust. Some people cut up laundry dryer sheet and use a piece in the tumbler to keep the dust down. I don't know if that works or not as I'm highly allergic to the chemicals in them. Always wear disposable gloves and a respirator when doing this part of the process. Wash your hands and arms thoroughly afterward. All of this will help keep your lead levels in check.

I just hope that they can find and capture his accomplices alive so that they can "extract" all information about support for this attack. I really don't care how they "extract" this information.

Sure wasn't quiet around here. They started as soon as it got anywhere near a semblance of dark and continued until about 11 when they must have ran out of fireworks. Some of the ones over Lake Seminole were almost commercial grade. Probably about 30 different groups shooting them off. Had some more at midnight but they petered out pretty quick. If there'd have been low flying aircraft, they probably would have got shot down. I've been among the fireworks "enthusiasts" myself and have done the exact same thing as the folks last night. My old dog LOVED fireworks, I haven't shot any off since he passed 22 years ago though. Only three days a year that fireworks are legal in Florida, 4th of July, New Years Eve and New Years Day.

Why release it? That's exactly what these assholes want.

Too bad operations in southern California are out.

Stayed up until about 1:00 am reading. My gal gave me the entire collection of the Killing series by Bill O'Reilly for Christmas. Was finishing the "Killing The SS" book. Didn't have the tv on but it sure wasn't hard to tell when it turned to midnight.

I had forgotten about this song/movie until I saw Joe's post about Heavy Metal. Looked it up. It was weird then, even weirder now.

Spiral ham w/glaze, blackeye peas w/fat back, collard greens w/fat back, hog jowls, rice, cornbread and an iced tea. I actually prefer a non-sliced ham, but my lady wins out. Winner, Winner, New Years Dinner! Now, I'll go start it!

Baked beans with sunny side up eggs...an odd combination.

Wish for all of ya'll have a safe and fun New Years Eve. Here's hoping for a prosperous New Year to come for everyone!

Yep...and I think he just started using the other account an hour or so ago. Too many coincidences not to be. Yes, it does smell of scammer.

We do have some good ones here in Florida.

I have found the old adage of "a dull knife will cut you faster than a sharp knife" to be very true.

I carry two umbrellas in my truck and have one in the garage for the mail, if needed. I only use them if it is raining hard. For light rain, I walk as fast as I can, running is not an option anymore. The only thing I don't like is putting the dripping wet umbrella back into the truck. I forgot, I only have one umbrella in the truck. I gave the other one away to a young couple I saw embracing each other while waiting the pouring rain at a bus stop. Rolled down the window, handed it off, rolled up the window and left...not a word was spoken....the look of gratitude in the guys eyes was enough thanks for me.

Same here, why bother? And it isn't just nitrocellulose that they have banned sale to the US. The bad guy statement reminds me of the scene from Scarface. I'd post it, but some bad language prevents me from doing so. I always tell the truth...even when I lie....

Come on man. Little bit of Dawn, a Brillo Pad or two...it'll look good as new. Let me know when you're done with that one, I have a couple I need done also.

Actually, China and Russia have both banned the sale of antimony (and various other ores, minerals, chemicals and other essential items) for sale to American /US companies. Stock up now folks, could be a long ride.

Playing the long game.
