  1. My brother in-law told me bug juice was made with water, any fruit available and sugar. I don't know if baker's yeast is added. The concoction was placed above the ovens in the galley & left until the bubbling stopped. On the Ranger he packed parachutes & filled aircraft oxygen tanks as well as occasionally hitching a ride on an A3. He became the chief of his section when the previous chief was given a section 8 for using a tug to destroy a geisha house. With my brother in-law you have to take his stories with a grain of salt. He is prone to embellish his stories.
  2. Denatured alcohol is ethyl mixed with methyl to make it more toxic. Filtering it through a loaf of bread to remove the methyl alcohol is a wife's tail. Distilation will separate them. However impurities will be left in the liquid.
  3. SCOTUS in 2022 & 2023 took a big bite out of Chevron in 2 decisions, WV v. EPA & Sackett v. EPA. WV challenged the Biden EPA reinstating a rule that existing sources had to use EPA specified technologies to reduce air pollution. WV challenged the EPA regulation as exceeding authority given the EPA by the Clean Air Act. Sackett involved the Clean Water Act Waters of the US interpretation that followed justice Kennedy's concurring opinion in Rapanos v. US. Until in 2023 Sackett v. EPA opinion federal courts follow Kennedy's concurring opinion rather than the plurality's (signed by 4 justices) which was more limiting than a nexus. In both the 2022 WV case and 2023 Sackett case chief justice Roberts wrote the majority opinions which spanked the EPA. Roberts cited the previously ignored "Major Questions doctrine. If the executive branch interpretation of law increases the scope of law it is unconstitutional because this power is reserved for Congress. Sackett limits a water of the US to those that continuously flow on the surface into a body of water that eventually flow into a body of water that crosses a US boarder. This means that a lot of wetlands & vernal streams that the EPA has been regulated have become a state only regulated per the 10th Amendment. During the 202-2024 SCOTUS session they will hear Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. This is the case that constitutional scholars have been saying will be the knockout blow to Chevron. P.S. The Chevron opinion was so wrong because other than violating the Major Questions doctrine it violated the Rule of Lenity which has its' origin in centuries old English Common Law affirmd by 9th century US jurisprudence.
  4. They named 1854 because that is the year their Volcanic came out.
  5. G-Force Arms announced at Shot Show, a Turkish Winchester 92 in 357/38. Finish offerings, blue, stainless & CCH receiver. 20" barrel length, magazines holds 10, lever is wrapped. Front sight isn't SASS legal. Receiver is aluminum except for CCH model.
  6. The Numrich exploded view diagram of the 999 shows the firing pin as a separate part. Besides replacing the firing pin it wouldn't hurt to replace the firing pin & center pin catch spring & to be safe the firing pin retainer pin.
  7. Use a browser that has a setting that blocks most pop-ups. Also I haven't "googled" in 10 years. I use Firefox & Edge for browser & DuckDuckGo for search engine. I quite using Chrome when it started using a third of the screen for adds.
  8. Steam Roller is the name used by the public. The paving products mfg's & contractors haven't used that name for them since reciprocating internal combustion engines replaced the steam engines. They are "Tandem Vibratory Rollers". Check this link out https://www.cat.com/en_US/products/new/equipment/compactors/tandem-vibratory-rollers.html
  9. When we moved to Dead Broke Ranch in Jan 2013 (retired so skedaddled out of Kommiefornia) we kept our iPhones & 925 pre fix phone numbers as well as Verizon because they have the best signal coverage in Fallon. At the time the neighbor who was retired & looked out for security of neighbor's property was old school & didn't pay for long distance service asked that week get a landline. When he moved away to vagabond visiting old friends he made when cowboying all over the west we dropped the land line. We kept the DSL internet service. The copper cable between the fiber to copper box two miles away was degrading the local phone co. installed fiber in our street to the fiber in the main cross street & they sent postcards to all the residents on the streets where fiber was installed announcing that if you signup for fiber service running fiber to you house would be free even if you didn't have copper run in flexible plastic conduit. The run to the box on the house is 1,200 ft. from the connection box on the street. Needless to say I signed up online for TV/internet bundled service that. Besides being cheaper than Direct TV plus DSL. internet speeds are faster than the LAN speeds at the co. when I retired on 12/31/2012. Also, no more pix-elating watching TV during weather or I can also watch streaming services.
  10. I will be watching with the misses. I used to watch the Raiders & 49ers including preseason. I favored the Raisers until Al Davis made them the LA traitors. However, at one point in the late 90's I'd stress about the 49er's when watching their games. So, I stopped watching the Raiders & 49er's games except for post season. The misses still watches most games. P.S. My daughter has been a 49er's fanatic since Steve Young was the starting quarterback. Her husband has been a big Raiders fan until the Raiders moved to Lost Wages. Now that the both Oakland sports teams will both be in Vegas when the baseball venue is completed he lost any interest in the A's & Raiders. He has forever boycotted the baseball & football teams across the bay.
  11. Stag Arms announced a 45-70 lever gun with iron sights, pick rail & threaded barrel with MSRP $1,299 available in 12/2024. Rossi has the R95 model 45-70 in 16.5", 20" & 22" Black oxide finish with MSRP of $1,061.
  12. The CA DOJ notified all the registered FFL's & CA Ammo sale licensees that the they are not to follow the state regulations re ammo sales. The CADOJ has appealed to the 9th Circus for an stay of St. Benitez's permanent injunction. Based on the court's history of a majority being knuckle dragging hoplophopes they likely will further delay granting full 2A rights to citizens & legal resident aliens residents by granting a stay like they did to end freedom week. St. Benitez's opinion decimated the CADOJ's briefs saying the pre 1868 analogs were either not analogs or analogs are not acceptable because they violate the 14th amendment by being discriminatory based on race, religion or slavery. P.S. CA & other states have used these 14A violating analogs exercises in other cases.
  13. At least in IL you can own an SBR if you have an FFL 3 (C&R FFL). In CA you can't own any NFA item. Being that I have family & property in CA & one is a cabin in the boonies north east of Lakeport I usually bring CA legal firearms to shoot with family. I can't bring into CA my AR's, HK91 clone, suppressors, nor ATN thermal sight.
  14. The owner of the Winchester brand is Olin Corp which only makes chemicals. The Winchester brand name for firearms is licensed to subsidiaries to FN Herstal. The FN subsidiary Browning USA. Browning USA contracts with Miroku to manufacture Winchester brand 1873 & 1894 rifles.
  15. Plus 1 for bgavin Buying a factory handgun is typically cheaper than a major customization & you get a factory warranty. In brown bear country is appears the G20 is very popular for bear protection. They hold 15 in the magazine & when an angry griz comes charging out of the brush you can put more rounds in the bear. For me the only problem with G-locks is the grip angle. The are clone mfg's that make 1911 grip angle frames.
