PVC artillery For scaring deer, why not use that other marvel of PVC firearms, a potato cannon? Multi-tasker here, scare the raiders AND plant the taters!:rolleyes:

I was in just this situation not too long ago. (Cat 3 hurricane approaching, which quite fortutiously, dropped to Cat.1 just before landfall.) I offered my 10/22 to some close friends. Low power scope with see-through rings, 2 50 rd. mags. Husband/wife had been intending to purchase...

My own story comes from well over a year ago. Skiing in Montana, I blew out my knee (second freakin' day!) and had to cut short my vacation and catch an early flight home. Didn't want to sit around in pain and watch everyone else have fun.... Hobbling through security with crutches and an...

As ball3006 and dfaugh have said, it's not so much the weight, but the weight per square foot. With a waterbed many, many years ago, I found out that the refrigerator had a greater load per square foot. If still concerned - and this will keep very determined thieves from simply using a hand...

Marine Sniper Got an autographed copy of "Marine Sniper" (1988) right here. Met Carlos at a gun show years ago.... Unfortunately, the follow-up book by the same author (Charles Henderson) has yet to grab my interest. Dunno, it's just not as good a read....

Continental Divide RB - A friend of mine hiked the Continental Divide Trail last year. Could have been him....:rolleyes: Anyway, the trail extends from the Mexican border to the Canadian, following the crest of the Rockies - the divide - as closely as possible. It is also quite new and...

A crusty old retired Marine Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event, hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young, idealistic ladies attending, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation. She said, "Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you...

Reloading I used to reload all of my 5.56mm - back when I was younger and had more time (and better eyesight...and more hair :uhoh: ) But then 5.56 commercial reloads got to be as cheap as I could reload 'em for. But with the new Garand (with zero MW and TE), I'm looking to get back...

Returning the bribe...um...*contributions* I wonder if this will work next time I get a speeding ticket? "Officer, what if I drive just as fast in reverse for a while? That surely must negate a summons...." I don't think so. Or if you rob a bank. Offer to give the money back, but only if...

Fuel + oxidizer The closest compound to this is hydrazine (N2H4), which is used in the maneuvering jets on the shuttle and other spacecraft. Fuel and oxidizer in one compound (vacuum of space and all) but it still needs an ignition source. Hydrazine is nasty, dangerous stuff. You could make...

More from the AP wire Bush to Give Up $6,000 Linked to Abramoff By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer 12 minutes ago WASHINGTON - President Bush's re-election campaign is giving up $6,000 in campaign contributions connected to lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who faced more guilty pleas as part of a...

Getting scalped The interesting bit is that he took money from one tribe in Texas trying to get a casino operation while simultaneously taking monies from another, neighboring tribe to *oppose* future casinos that might be competition to their existing one. What a slimeball. "Where's my...

Back when I was younger and had more time (also: better eyesight...and more hair) I used to do a lot of reloading. For the .223 or 5.56mm, I could turn out rounds in the range of 11 to 13 cents a pop - not including my time, which was considerable as I only had a single-stage press. This was...

Choices Sadly, all too true....:( I have voted in every election since '72 (Soon after the '68 election, the voting age was dropped to 18, so I got gyped out of one.) In all those elections, I have only voted FOR an individual once. (John Anderson in '80.) Every other vote has been...
