  1. I hear you on the cheapness of these Patriot. The thing is, I don't think you can touch any of the top brand HT radios with these features without starting at 400% of the price. I actually do like that these radios have such a wide band coverage even if you can't xmit legally on most of the range. Are there any top brand dual band (2m/440cm) 8W HTs for $100 or less? Was it the Yaesu VX-7R that you could easily mod to open up a lot of bands?
  2. Oh you had to get me looking at new radios! I have the UV-5R and it's a great little radio. This one looks to be newer/better than the BF-F9 V2+. http://www.amazon.com/BaoFeng-BF-F8HP-Two-Way-136-174Mhz-400-520Mhz/dp/B00MAULSOK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449436353&sr=8-1&keywords=BaoFeng+BF-F8HP The 8W of power will be nice! It's a newer/better chipset in these too. More refined and less noise. I think I'm in for one.
  3. Testosterone fueled rage. He's out to prove to the world that's he's the alpha male in town and you better not challenge him. I understand the urge to say something to him, but confronting him is exactly what can push these types of guys right over the edge. You can almost read his personality by his aggressive driving style. Best thing to do is call the cops and leave him alone.
  4. Strange to see kids coming from the same family turning out to be such polar opposites. Agree with you that you have to keep people at arms length when they are thieving druggies. There is only so much you can do to help people when they get like that. Chile, I wish you and your family the best in this tough situation. I was very worried for a while that my little brother was going to be a loser and a sponge all his life. Our prayers were answered when he joined the Air Force and they whipped his ass into shape. The little bastard is a mortgage banker and makes a ton of money
  5. Wasn't that nit-wit idea something Bloomberg came up with years ago? I'll see if I can find some 64oz cups to enjoy our soda in as we discuss what guns we want for Christmas at Thanksgiving dinner.
  6. I thought of the relay too, but I think he wants a simple plug and play kind of thing. I agree on the magnetic switches being more reliable. OP: Make sure you solder all switch and custom wiring connections, no twist it up and tape it crap. It will not be reliable with unreliable connections.
  7. >>Are there other ways to protects valuables? Oh yeah. May not be completely legal, but consider the tear gas or pepper spray blasters? Room deluge spray type dispensers? How about extremely loud sonic devices? Flashing pulse diode bright disruptive lighting systems? I was thinking that it would be quite easy and fairly inexpensive to monitor and protect a safe in some "exotic" ways. 1. Cheap alarm trigger that will send a text to you. 2. Cheap baby monitor camera that has the internet hosting ability. 3. Fake ceiling can light over the safe door that could contain any man
  8. You haven't seen any war movies where they use red light at night have you? He doesn't want white light at night.
  9. Plug both timers into a power strip and you'll need a motion sensor after each timer as well. The timers must always have power or they won't run at all. >>but I'm not sure where I would tie in the motion sensor The motion sensor goes after the timer, before the light. You can't do one motion sensor since the timer will be cutting off power for part of the day. If the timer output power is off, so is the motion sensor. Assuming both timers are set correctly and don't fail, you'll only get one light depending on the time of day. You may have a few minutes of overlap wher
  10. Wife tried it years ago and gave up after the bottles exploded. It turned out to be a bit more detail oriented than she has the patience for. About what I expected.
  11. Is that the Amber Heard special she's enjoying off the take-out menu? It's the box lunch....
  12. I can understand why some women would like to clean up some of the extra roast beef hanging out of the bun, but they hopefully won't go too drastic on the poon pruning. .
  13. Yep. I heard this story on the radio this morning and thought good for him, but also didn't understand the overly generous 25% discount. A 10% discount would have made the point. Of course, he can raise prices a hair if needed to limit the damage.
  14. Didn't Tony Rumore post here a couple of years ago that he tested a prototype and it worked great? If I were to speculate on the hold-up.... and I will.... I was thinking the manufacturing and sale of his drums didn't turn out to be as profitable as he had hoped considering all of the time, effort, expense, etc. Especially the first time you do that type of project, it's really expensive since you make a lot of first time mistakes. Maybe he is forecasting marginal profit on the DS mags to get them to market and doesn't want to be stuck with a garage full of mags that he can't mo
  15. Lewinski took her blue dress to the dry cleaners. The owner was in the back of the shop when she walked in and she shouted back to him that she has a dress to be cleaned. Not hearing her clearly he says, "Come again?". Lewinski responds, "No... mustard."
  16. I saw one of these laying in the gutter the other day, it has sharp teeth on it. I better call it in..... .
  17. Sorry tyrants, my guns aren't for sale so I won't be participating in any "buyback".
  18. Maybe they could have a Snicker's bar to offer the shooter........ maybe he's not himself until he has a candy bar (like the commercials). All this insistence by the left to keep schools as soft targets is just horrible. When the schools become well defended, they will no longer be targets.
  19. Yep. In muzzie doctrine they are allowed to lie to further their goals. There is no reason to ever believe anything a muzzie says.
  20. There was a book about how LBJ was behind JFK getting offed and described the event as a US coup. LBJ apparently also had murder charges pending against him that went away after he became pres. Will have to see if I can find that book.
  21. Absolutely. There is great thought and care taken in delivering these speeches to the masses in a way that cause an actual trance state. Specific cadence, speed and words per minute, etc. Very evil attempts to control the masses. Neuro-linguistic programming.
