      SOLD: Yugoslavian AK Parts kits

      Trifocals

      *Sigh* I'm giving in to the badge of age. I've been near-sighted al my life, but I've always been able to see up close while wearing my glasses. Even though my unaided distnce vision is good only out to about 50 feet I've always been able to focus close even while wearing glasses. At 50...

      Curious Stock Splice

      Several years ago my Century rep called me to tell me he had a shipment of "cracked stock specials" to sell for $30 each, but he'd heard from customers that the stocks weren't necesarily cracked, but rather damaged some other way. He wouldn'r guarantee anything, and the stocks were probably...

      Open Carry At Parades

      I don't want to wear a sidearm while watching parades, but I'd like to know if I'm breaking the law by wearing a sidearm while walking to and from my vehicle parked in the hood to the apartment I rented along the parade route? This isn't concealed carry - it's open carry. I know concealed is...

      Apollo 8 Curiosity

      My mom's getting up in years and she can no longer climb the stairs in her three-story house, so she's selling it to buy a one-story house. In the clean-up preparation she stumbled across something I thought you guys might find interesting. My dad attended Annapolis, and captained the USS...

      Buying Rental Property

      OK so I have four year old and five month old daughters. The wife and I were talking last week when it occurred to me that fourteen years from now we're going to need an independent income stream that generates $40,000 yearly. I don't need to tell people here that I sat back and went, "wow!"...

      The Navy is looking to hire an Oracle DBA in their New Orleans SPAWAR facility. This is a government position, and it will require a security background check to grant SECRET clearance. You don't have to have a spotless background, but you do have to be honest in your security application...

      Good food

      My wife hates pork. That sucks for me, because I like me some pig. Today I figured it was do or die, so I gave it some thought. I got some boneless thin-sliced center-cut chops, and I sprinkled them with a tiny bit of red pepper. Meanwhile I sliced up three apples into 3mm slices and threw...

      The New Orleans Times-Picayune

      Tomorrow the nut-sacks go to a three-day a week distribution schedule, and they actually think we're stupid enough to keep our subscription. Me, I treasure my morning paper, and the 30 minutes of relaxation it gives me as well as the fact that the stories in the newspaper tends to go into much...

      AIM Surplus has Yugoslavian Magazines

      They're like $11 each, and shipping on ten of them cost me $15. They look new, and they have those "bolt hold open" doodads that everybody has such a hard-on for. I think they're a good deal.

      Looking for a CCW Class Soon

      I have about two weeks free from work, and I'd like to use that time to take the CCW class and apply for the permit. Is anyone in the greater New Orleans area offering the class such that I can complete the requirements before I have to return to work? I have a DOD contract cranking up around...

      Sams Has GE A/C Units On Sale

      I just picked up a couple GE A/C window units at Sams Club. They run $100 for a 5,500 BTU window unit to $189 for an 8,000 BTU window unit. For hurricane power outage backups its hard to beat. The 12,000 BTU units ran $300. That'll cool a couple big rooms, and the 8,000 BTU unit will handle...

      Marine Aviators Inbound

      I have a marine friend coming into New Orleans (Algiers/Belle Chasse), and he's going to be flying a Chinook from Virginia. He's going to be in town for a week prior to his 3-year assignment at Algiers. He's my age (40s) and needs lodging, and he described his needs as driving distance to the...

      Prostitution Arrests

      I don't know how common this is, but I've noticed in the Police Reports section of the Times-Picayune that on several days there have been multiple arrests of women from out of state for prostitution. Few local women have been reported, but lots of out-of-state women. All seem to have...

      Just Finished Prepping My Taxes

      I started this morning at 9:30AM, and I took an hour break for dinner, but other than that I've been poring over receipts, credit card statements, bank account statements, IRA statements, checkbook registers, and spreadsheets all day long and most of the night. Tomorrow we meet with the...

      What Gauge Wire?

      So I'm going to make a pig-tail to connect my 5kw/6.2kw Briggs & Stratton generator into my electrical panel. I have a workshop separate from my house that has its own electrical panel, and a 20amp 220v breaker with an outlet connected to it. My home is old, and it has a main fuse that I can...
