Grizzly Dave Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 We have a 4 lane road that runs behind the house with an intersection with another 4 lane that we can see out the corner of the yard. I always hate it when more than just one or two emergency vehicles show up, cuz it means it's a bad one. One had choppers out here once, and that time it took two choppers. I guess I'll answer my own question... Closest club is about 20 minutes away, but they only shoot April thru September as the host club wants the range for other things the rest of the year. My favorite range was about an hour away, but they are moving right now due to landlord issues I think, anyway if my guess is correct, that club will be moving about another 20 minutes away. There are a couple of clubs an hour and 45 minutes away, but I don't go there often, then several others 3 or 4 hours away. I guess I'm just a whimp, after getting up early, then being on my feet for 4 or 5 hours shooting a match, much more than an hour drive home is a bit much for me. But, we gotta do what we gotta do to play the game I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache Hawk 60642 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 It beats what I'm listening to right now. There is some kind of "Police Action" going on near by. There are helo's circling low, sireens everywhere and not much traffic. That's not a good sign. WHOA........Besides being careful..here's what ya do 1) Call homeland Security and advise'em of a terrorist flyin' low over yur house 2) Call da pol-ice and compalane bout da loud noise outside. 3) also tell'em ya got a peepin' tom in a hang giulder wif a flashlite tryin' to look in !

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Grizz the range I shoot at the most is app 1 hr , up in MO the closest is app 40 min . May go looking for PROJECTS at the GUN SHOW , the last few have been a bust CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 I could have gone shooting today. But one range I'd have to have gotten up at about 4 am to be on the road by 5. The other I'd have had to be up by 5 and on the road by 6 I think. Either way, far too early to go to ranges I've not been to before and shoot in unknown and quite possibly muddy conditions. What sort of project you looking for CB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Kris Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Stay safe WHOA........Besides being careful..here's what ya do 1) Call homeland Security and advise'em of a terrorist flyin' low over yur house 2) Call da pol-ice and compalane bout da loud noise outside. 3) also tell'em ya got a peepin' tom in a hang giulder wif a flashlite tryin' to look in ! Thanks for the well wishes, guys. The pups are in the house by that hour so we've got a bit more security. {I wouldn't argue with 200lbs of German Shepherd.... } I have no idea what was going on. Uno said is was around the corner from us and went on for a long time. He said there was even a TV helo out there. The PETA folks probably went bonkers over someone walking their dog on a leash and called everyone in to take action against this heinous act.

Grizzly Dave Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Well, had to run a quick errand, saw they had windshield juice, I need juice in my car, so I bought a gallon. Get home, find the pliers (the plastic lever is broke off) and pop the hood. Put 2/3rds of the gallon in, heck thinks me, I'll check the oil while I'm here. Sure enough, it's a quart low. Have to hunt around the garage and find the oil, put in a quart. Start it up, rev the engine a bit, shut it off and recheck, it's good now, but on the bottom end of 'full.' I'll have to do better at checking it. Well, now I have a third of a gallon of juice left. Grab the keys to the wife's van and put it in that. Heck thinks me, might as well check the oil while I'm here, yup, it's a quart low too. Saw another quart when I grabbed the first one so just had to fetch it. Well, poured some of it in the engine, don't know why that filler hole on the van is so hard for me to pour into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 They made it that way for you, Grizz. Why don't you get a new handle for the hood release. They are easy to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 At one point I looked into it and I seem to recall on the civic you had to replace the whole cable, but I could be wrong. At any rate, I just keep a pair of pliers in the map pocket of the drivers door to pull the stub of the cable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Apparently is is an issue with Honda automobiles. According to google it is not much of an excercise but the guy said that you needed to remove the fender and the hood latch. Probably not a ten minute job. I had an old Datsun that the handle broke and I just popped it off and put the new one on the cable. Must be something with the Japanese car makers. Crazy Yankees. Fix this.
