  1. Tell me about it!
  2. E was the last version and final series of the firearm.
  3. Tyson fits that description plus a lot more disparaging words. The whole deal with the headline fight seemed more like "professional" wrestling. I was kinda looking forward to watching it but Netflix buffering and picture freezing prevented that. Was kind of hoping that Robin Givins would appear out of the crowd and smack Tyson in the head with a Championship belt medallion....just for old times sake. I guess Don King is dead, as is Gordon Solie.
  4. He's a self-absorbed, self-important arrogant blowhard...just the kind of people I don't particularly care for. I don't hate him, just don't care for him like many people.
  5. Can't stand either one of them. Too bad they didn't beat each other into oblivion. Thanks for the update though. Tried to watch it last night but Netflix was having some major problems...freezing up and constant buffering. Finally said hell with it and went to bed.
  6. Below is the Florida Statutes on this type of disposal. I was wondering about this exact question in recent weeks because of the many refrigerators/freezers/etc. that are sitting at the roadsides awaiting the County to haul them off. These appliances, and a bunch of other types of appliances, were in houses/apartments/condos flooded by hurricanes Debbie, Helene and Milton. Almost none of the ones I've seen in person, or on the tv news, have had the doors removed or otherwise rendered safe. The 2024 Florida Statutes http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Images/dividers/600x3_gradient.gif Title XLVI CRIMES Chapter 823 PUBLIC NUISANCES View Entire Chapter 823.07 Iceboxes, refrigerators, deep-freeze lockers, clothes washers, clothes dryers, or airtight units; abandonment, discard.— (1) The purpose of ss. 823.07-823.09 is to prevent deaths due to suffocation of children locked in abandoned or discarded iceboxes, refrigerators, deep-freeze lockers, clothes washers, clothes dryers, or similar airtight units from which the doors have not been removed. (2) It is unlawful for any person knowingly to abandon or discard or to permit to be abandoned or discarded on premises under his or her control any icebox, refrigerator, deep-freeze locker, clothes washer, clothes dryer, or similar airtight unit having an interior storage capacity of 11/2 cubic feet or more from which the door has not been removed.

  7. Publix overcharges for everything.
  8. I always return the cart to the corral or to the person collecting them if they are nearby. People that don't return the cart to the proper place deserve to have someone walk down the side of their vehicle and hit it with a hammer with every step.
  9. Adjustable height, tripod type stands are a dime a dozen at thrift stores, garage sales and flea markets. Most of them were photography stands at one time. Look at a few of these places if you want to save some serious cash. Just a heads up.
  10. WOW! Does Rye know about this? He'll probably by some 44-40's just to use the brass! Just kiddin ya Rye.
  11. Scammer all the way. If you sent him funds...your fund are gone. There is a thread called "Can anybody vouch for" on page 2 concerning the scammer in question. I thoroughly suggest that you read this entire thread along with the other scammer threads below it before purchasing anything from here or any other site.
  12. The last time I talked to a very well known gunsmith about short stroking my .38/357 Bisleys, he told me that I'd only get about .25" difference. A quarter inch difference for $400 each + shipping wasn't worth it to me. I'd contact the popular short stroke gunsmiths to check prices before purchasing Bisleys.
  13. I double dare you!
  14. Yes, I'm a Goat person!
  15. They'd go with his glasses.
  16. That is simply not true. I have used a taper crimp on .38 spl loads for the last 20 years in CAS tube rifles and have NEVER had a round push back into the case. When first experimenting with the taper crimp, I tested it numerous times with a seated bullet in empty brass (no powder/primer) sitting upright on concrete with a hammer. Tapped lightly at first with gradually harder taps. The only thing that happened was crumpled brass and a ruined bullet that stayed crimped in place. If taper crimped correctly, it's a better crimp than roll crimping IMO. Edit - I'm guessing that's about 25,000+ rounds with zero issues over that 20 years.
  17. I thought he said "Goodbye yellow brick road".
  18. I used to like TB's enchiritos and burritos. Never like their hard tacos as I'm not a lettuce lover and they didn't put enough cheese on them. TB progressively got worse through the years, probably due to trying to double and triple the menu with the result of nothing was good anymore. So far as non-TB goes, I prefer soft tacos or home made burritos. The hard tacos are okay every once in a while but I like the soft ones better. Extra meat, extra cheese with hot sauce, sour cream and diced tomatoes for me on both.
  19. Meanwhile, foreign real estate agents are sitting on their thumbs just waiting for their phone calls. I wish they would leave...I'd say Well, Bye! I'll believe the Nationwide reciprocity when I see it, but I'll probably die of old age before it gets done playing out in the courts.
  20. Steve McQueen Marine (USMC) Race car/motorcycle driver Actor Scofflaw extraordinaire and The King of Cool
  21. That was 1984! Ronald Reagan was there at the race. There is a picture somewhere of Air Force One landing at the airport behind the track and Petty's race car on the track during the race, all in the same picture frame. Don't forget, Bobby Allison also drove a AMC Matador (#16) in a couple of NASCAR races also!
  22. Rusty dumped him and lost a ton of fans that night. Him and Waltrip still harp at each other about that night at the Winston. Never could stand Waltrip until he retired from driving, I liked him in the booth. I was at the Firecracker 400 in Daytona when Waltrip flipped so many times on the back stretch and ended up upside down with fuel pouring all over the ground. Broke his leg in that one IIRC.
  23. Everyone always had someone, some driver they were 'pulling' for...and the driver they hated. The wrestling comparison is spot on, especially with local short track racing. Local favorites, heroes and villains. Lots of fun. It's where race car drivers and race fans get their start!
  24. Any and all fluorescent lamps "require" special clean up and disposal, not just the CFL types. IMO, fluorescent lamp maintenance, care and disposal has always been a PITA. I changed all of the fluorescent lamps in my house (kitchen, both baths, garage) to 120 volt LED 4' tubes years ago. I went with 4,000K in color rendition because the 2,700K lamps didn't produce enough brightness for my gals liking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note for the folks that want to change over from fluorescent tube type lighting to LED. There are (in reality) two options for change out. One is to use 120/277 (dual voltage) LED lamps. This requires re-wiring of the existing fluorescent fixture by disconnecting the existing ballast and changing the wiring to the lampholders (called tombstones) to 120 volt by putting the "hot" wire at one end and the neutral at the other. This can be done with the existing wiring within the fixture by almost anyone with mechanical ability and knowledge. The other is to use LED replacement tubes that utilize the existing fluorescent ballast. This is basically a one for one swap out. The drawback to this kind of LED lamp is that it only reduces power usage very slightly and still relies on the old ballast to operate. When the ballast goes bad, and it will, it will need replacement for the LED lamp to work.
