  1. I feel like they missed a great opportunity to feature some sweet Winchester 1907's and 1910's or some Remington Model 8's. They would have surely had more than lever guns and 1911's.

    Bluey movie is a year or two off.  It’s going to be massive.

    Yeah, but it's going to be a bit weird seeing Bluey in live action. 

  3. I believe you can take a deactivated war trophy that has been registered with the NFA and convert it back to a functional firearm by paying the $200 tax. The cost to register it back in the day as a deactivated trophy was free. That thing would be worth big bucks today even in its deactivated status.

    Does anyone have any Yosemite National Park wilderness recommendations? I think six trails potentially include half dome but not a must. There is a separate half dome day hike lottery.
     

    Any other cool stuff near or on the way to the park? I’ve never been to San Francisco nor California. But I’ve always wanted to see a giant redwood tree and make out with Jennifer Connelly.

     

    Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. That was one of our favorites. Download the maps to te areas on Google maps on your phone before you go so you can still get around without a signal. 

  5. Also, in addition to a safe work permit, your gonna need an open flame permit, confined space permit, and an excavation permit. Make sure you have all your ducks in a row before you start calling for all the required approvals.

  6. I don't care for the music in Encanto much at all.  The music in Coco is much better and actually sounds like Mexican music. The one complaint about the music in Coco is that the songs are all too short.

    He should have pitched them off and stayed with the train.  Not sure what his line of thinking was there.  Now, somebody down the line is going to find two bodies with holes that only a .450 Nitro Express could make and there's only one guy out there walking around with a .450 Nitro Express.

    450 nitro express makes the same sized holes as any other 45. It just keeps going. Or at least back in that time it was probably the case.

    An electrical substation exploded

    It was some serious shit - manhole covers were blown off and dancing on the fire plume. That's some serious pressure and flow to lift a manhole cover

    Copper expands to 67,000 times it's original volume when it vapirizes. You definitely don't want to be in the line of fire during even a small arc flash.

    Do those cameras flash when they take pics in the dark (looks like in the pics posted above). What about infrared cameras? Do they flash?

    How does infrared compare to normal light?

     

     

    The IR ones have an IR flash. It typically emits a bit of a glow, but nothing that really disturbs the wildlife. A person might notice it if they are looking at it, however.

    Yup. Just replaced both on the passenger side of my F150. Upstream was a bitch to get to.

    Two weeks ago on my 2007 4.6 Triton. I had to go all in and cut the wires on the old one so I could pull on the wires with pliers while just barely reaching the connector with the tips of my fingers.

    I was in a Walmart yesterday and the location had ammo.   It still cracks me up that they sell 30-06 and .308 but not .223/5.56.  I can buy ammo for a BAR or an AR-10 but not an AR-15.

    They got rid of 300 BLK but still stocked 350 Legend.
