    possibly moving to AZ...questions for you locals

    Look into Lake Havasu. It's often the hottest spot in the state, but it's on a beautiful lake so it balances out. It's a small town in many ways, with enough shopping and amenities to avoid monthly trips to the big cities of Phoenix or Vegas. The town is a tourist mecca - boaters in the...

    Shoot. Move. Communicate??

    I attended my first field day today, and had the opportunity to use HF for the first time. As a technician (licensed only for a little over a month), I didn't really have the urge to work HF... until today. It's a bit like crack - talking from NV to Florida without repeaters was really, really...

    Shoot. Move. Communicate??

    I think it would be a good addition to the 'Hide. I'm just licensed (tech, so only 2m/440 for now)... currently drinking from the fire hose and trying to learn as much as I can. I've found a couple of like minded nets on the air that I've joined. My original setup was one of the low cost...

    Hope for Connecticut

    My apologies if this link is already in here & I missed it. Sipsey Street Irregulars: An Open Letter to the Men and Women of the Connecticut State Police: You are NOT the enemy (UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO BE.) The author lives in Alabama; it will be interesting to see if he gets arrested (probably...

    Dual Sport/Enduro Motorcycle-Need Advice

    Find a Honda XR650 - XR, not the XL, that's been converted to street legal (or if you're so inclined, do that part yourself - look at Baja Designs for the parts). You're in AK - you'll want the off-road capability, with the option of jumping on the road. It's a big bike; it'll fit you fine...

    Flying with a pistol.

    +1. Do check the airline's rules as well. I use an XDm case, with two matching, non-TSA padlocks. I also tape a white 3x5 card bearing my name and cell phone number to the outside of the locked case, and bury the case beneath clothes in the suitcase. Also be aware that different airports...

    Need to quit chewing

    I hate to admit it, but I do almost everything with a dip in. Easier with pouches, but used to do it without as well. Dinner (expect about 25% loss unless well practiced), sleep (easy except if you drool), work all day in a non-permissive environment (piece of cake). I'll probably get...

    Need to quit chewing

    I quit - 4 times. Should probably do it again. The longest time was after being referred to an oral surgeon and getting the speech.

    Moving from NY to Nevada, what kinda things should Iknow?

    No, the little blue card doesn't need to be carried (but yes, CC does have registration of handguns). As others have said, lots of freedom here - use it wisely and fight to protect it (and don't work for / support those that pay the antis). We just beat down a private sale background check /...

    Maggie’s best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

    Today... WalMart. Stopped in to verify that they didn't have any .22LR. The guy at the counter was "typical" - you've seen him - completely disheveled look, big gap between his front teeth, looked like he didn't comb his hair when he got out of bed and then dropped half his breakfast on his...

    Yup. It feels like they're trying to cover all their bets and playing on people's short attention span...

    Maggie’s Best Salesman Ever

    A couple of years ago I had a guy - if it wasn't this dude it was his twin - come do his schtick / pitch at my door. I bought too. Don't know what was in that stuff and ran out a while back, but it worked as advertised!

    A police officer's thoughts

    Re: A police officer's thoughts Jethro - Well said! One favor. Even though I'm going to bet you'll say "don't want to; it's not for me", test for promotion and lead others. You probably won't do it for yourself, but that's OK - do it because you're grounded and you know that makes a difference.
