      Carry Gun with or without safety?

      As a regular carry, my FNP doesn't have any manual safety. Always one in the pipe, not cocked. My first carry pistol was DA/SA with manual safety, always carried with safety off. I also have a pocket pistol that's DA only, stiff trigger and carry it the same way. Just very careful what else goes...

      Ebola on the horizon?

      It was previously stated the bleach kills about everything. Just an example of that not being the case. Don't think it's safe just because you used household bleach ( <6%). Pharma is "pharmaceutical", probably would have been better stated a "Lab Grade" or reagent (Up to 15%), but I work at a...

      Ebola on the horizon?

      Just because I think it's good to keep in mind, and since I haven't posted in a while....Mold can survive bleach, get some pharma grade and not so much, but store bought bleach doesn't easily kill mold. Also, N95 or whatever masks you may chose only filter the air that goes through them. Air...

      BREAKING: US Patent Office cancels "Redskins" trademark

      Just change the name from Redskins to Washington Engines, and use the outline of an Indian Motorcycle as the logo - Problem solved, nobody to be butt-hurt over the name that way. Be sure to get the okay from the Indian MC Co. I really don't see how Red Skins is offensive, change it the the...

      How important is Physical Fitness

      Just another thought....make sure you still have some body fat - you body stores it for your benefit. As said before you need a base level of strength but endurance is king. Personally I'm down 80# in the last year and still have a ways to go but I could never ever do a single pull up in my...

      Are we looking at an information blackout in major SHTF?

      If it's important, it's printed. If it's remotely useful it's stored locally and typically on more than one device/computer.

      CraZy sTorIez FrOm THe ER: Who is "The Man" now?

      No issue there. Just can't say who it was directly or indirectly. When they radioed ahead on IHERN they call in what's going on, but can't identify the patient.

      What Would Jesus Carry*

      This of course. Super easy to carry two of them. That's two barrels of Jerichonian wall smashing power.

      Mobile HAM mounting Q.

      Thank you, I try to. Usually I'm hauling smaller things that aren't so "grabby". Glad to hear it should work out well. Didn't get the grounding straps on today, had to go to the range - It's been too long. After I unload the brush in the morning I may give it a go and see what I can do in the...

      Mobile HAM mounting Q.

      Just looking for suggestions/comments to improve performance with the current antenna location. What! Somebody stole my plate numbers!?

      Mobile HAM mounting Q.

      To all the HAMs and/or those in the know... I realize that roof top is best but that isn't going to happen for now, possibly down the road but not now. Just looking for feedback on this setup. I fab'd up a mounting point and welded it in to the truck bed. The Antenna is a Larson NMO150B, specs...

      Yaesu FT-2900R

      Yep, got it mounted under the dash and attached the mic mount to the radio bracket. Works pretty well.

      Yaesu FT-2900R

      Never bothered to check my firmware, but make sure you're using the "Nightly Build" version of Chirp.

      Yaesu FT-2900R

      I got it from Universal-Radio.com out of Reynoldsville OH. The manufacture coupons all expired on the 30th, but they're doing a rebate of the same value. Everyone seems to be within a dollar or two of each other. I was very happy with the shipping time since it only had to come from Ohio. All...

      3/4ths NMO seems to be the mount of choice.

      Yaesu FT-2900R

      I've got a Baofang 5R-VU, I like it for the money and think I'll like it even after playing with some others. Going to get a new antnna for the 5R, and debating on the FT-2900R antenna. Looking at getting 2 for the 2900R, a smaller and larger one, both truck mounted. It's a 79 For Courier...

      Yaesu FT-2900R

      Forgot to update earlier, I passed my tech. Went ahead and too the General but only got 19 of 35 right so only a Tech at the moment. I haven't broadcasted yet, just listening still. The Baofeng seems pretty good, It does need a better antenna for sure - looking into a MFJ 15" for it...
