You just reminded me, I have a C-H just like that out in the shed. Worked fine when I put it out there....the 550 took preference!

That's why power lines should be buried
We're in SW SGF, no power loss here. Our lines are underground.
Buried utility lines have MUCH LESS capacity than lines in free air. That's not a problem with buried lines to individual residential properties. Buried secondary and main transmission lines are a big problem.
Sooner or later, ALL utility power lines end up overhead.

Another underrated gun is the Ruger 'Luger'.
Doesn't matter if its Mk I, II, III or IV...they all shoot great, rarely malfunction and are very accurate. At least the ones that I've owned and handled are.

Roll goes over the top at my house. Easier for the wife to reach since they are mounted under the top cabinets toward the back...happy wife, etc.
We also don't use Bounty because Bounty glues the hell out of the beginning and end of the roll, or at least they used to. Used to waste four or five 1/2 sheets at the beginning and end of the rolls due to this. We've used Members Mark p-towels for years now. They're just as good, if not better, than the name brands and cheaper also.

If he was drunk and his drinking caused it, Maybe he should be given a life time ban on alcohol.
Just a sobering thought!

Saw the video on Fox this morning! Yikes!, she was upside down for awhile 🙄
Fortunately for her, she had her harness on correctly and the retractable tether worked correctly....otherwise she'd have been on her head after falling 10' or so.

+100, as a previous bucket truck user, I also put the blame on the folks using the bucket truck.
One of my crew was setup on a straight section of state highway working up on a pole. Signs and cones from 1500 feet back. Along comes a car that takes out about a dozen cones and slams the back of the truck pushing it about 5 feet even with micro lock and chocks. Fortunately the guy in the bucket heard the the cones dying and held on! Only injury was to his underwear. Driver said they didn't see the truck! They are hard to see with all those flashy lights and cones. 🥴
We never had someone run into the truck but had a SUV run over some cones and brush on of the outriggers. We had two bucket trucks, one like the truck in the video and a large bucket truck with a 65' reach. It occurred on an entrance road to a mall mentioned below. Had a couple of close calls with vehicles speeding by us only inches away because the drivers weren't paying attention.
We had an account at a place called International Plaza (IP). IP is an upscale mall for very wealthy people. The entrance/exit roads (all 4 of them) were particularly dangerous as the rich a**holes that frequented the mall were always in a rush, looking at their phones and driving WAY over the speed limit.
These are the same people that would move cones so they could park their Ferrari closer to the mall, directly under the work area 60' above them...while we're changing out 1,000 watt MH ballasts. I guess they've never seen what a ballast that size/weight if dropped from that height. Hell, a wirenut from that height will dent metal. We never dropped anything on a vehicle but it was close a couple of times with smaller items like wire strips, wirenuts and capacitors.

The bucket truck operator is the one mainly at fault. You NEVER set up with a bucket over a roadway that's being used without blocking protection, NEVER! The bucket truck should have been parked in the road, not off to the side with the bucket extended low over the roadway. They also could have used at least one of the two trucks parked in the grass to block the roadway and protect the bucket man. Useless placement of the orange cones, horrible set up....just plain bad training. At least she was wearing his harness and the tether worked correctly.
The semi truck driver should have seen the guy in the bucket but he didn't. Probably watching his driver's side mirror if I had to guess. Regardless, that was 90% the bucket truck crews fault.
I worked a bucket truck for about 5 years. You just never set up and operate like that, NEVER.

It’s obvious that the writer didn’t think! 🤣I wonder if the Mystery Machine was involved in the getaway. That would make Freddie an accomplice and Daphine complicit because I never saw anyone by Freddie driving the van and Freddie never went anywhere without Daphine.
That leaves Shaggy and Velma.....hmm?

What Cypress Sun said!!
I’ve done that myself to a Uberti Navy never had a problem after that.
I think it is better than bending the dovetail wings down.

And you can still (somewhat) easily remove the sight if necessary.

How?
That's the first thought that comes to my mind. How?
Are they going to put his picture and his name in every ticket office - DON'T SELL THIS MAN A TICKET! HE HAS BEEN BANNED FROM BASEBALL PARKS!!
They're going to have his picture by the ticket takers - EVEN IF HE HAS A TICKET, DO NOT LET THIS MAN IN! HE HAS BEEN BANNED FROM BASEBALL PARKS!!!
Realistically, all they could do is throw him out of that game.
I know he's in Chicago, but...if he was in Florida, they could issue a trespass warning. Violate the trespass warning and it's Go To Jail time....although that probably wouldn't mean much these days. He'd be out within the hour most likely.

MLB has not been in the “woke” group? What about changing the Indians name which was pushed by MLB. They weren’t going to give Cleveland the All Star Game without Chief Wahoo being nixed. How about when they changed the AllStar game in Atlanta because of something to do with voting rights that were too strict ? MLB is as woke as they come. They’re just as bad as the NFL and NBA.
I can see banning this guy from CHICAGO for the rest of the year but not from all of MLB stadiums. Remember he’s 22 yrs old and apologized and yes he was drunk as a skunk.
Yeah, those slipped my mind. My fault.
Regardless of how old he is, tough toenails.

Banned indefinitely is not a lifetime ban. Indefinitely indicates that he could be re-instated.
That said, I don't know what the "fan" said but it really shouldn't matter. In general, MLB hasn't been in with the 'woke' group. Saying "Your mother wears combat boots" is a lot different that using a line out of the Exorcist.
I don't have a problem with the guy getting banned indefinitely or even lifetime. So-called "fans" have gotten out of control and if he has to be the example, so be it.

Cut a small piece of aluminum beer can (or whatever) to use as a shim. Put it under the sight and reinstall sight. I've had to do that several times to various sights, never had one come back off.

Scooby Doo broke into an Alabama convenience store, but not for Scooby snacks. No word if Shag was an accomplice.

Another brilliant idea...at a cost of $450,000,000 per year. That's only $90,000 per person. We can't deport someone back to their country of origin for $90,000 each?
No fences and no gates....just swamp. Oh, wait a minute....there's roads in and out of the place.
Surely, they won't try to escape...would they?
Not after traveling 1,000's of miles in nasty, hot, humid conditions while dealing with hostile drug gangs, corrupt Mexican officials and who knows what else to come, illegally, to the US.
No, they won't try to escape.
Gators, mosquitos, pythons and swamps aren't going to stop these people from to escape or escaping.
What a waste of taxpayer money.

The little town of Astatula, Florida, has 14 officers and a population of 1,900 mol. I don't know their scheduling...but for most of the day at least one of them is on radar duty every day on CR 561 near the Lake County Pistoleros match. Don't remember which one he was but he seemed like a good guy.

Not cheap....... I could build this for under a $100 bucks here. If you buy one of these, do ya just whack it in the back of ya truck? -
You could build that for WAY under 1K in the States.
I honestly didn't know you could buy a coffin at WalMart. SOB's sell everything from birth 'til death.
