they do not open until 10 am...
as a club member i can go anytime, we have a fingerprint reader that opens the range doors.
this range is 20 miles away. the outdoor range is only 5 miles, but i do not get along with their club president.

i usually do to, but the truck was in for service and i emptied it out last week and forgot to put hearing protection back in it.
i keep on forgetting to grab extra earplug dot put in the cases.

[QUOTE=Mattm400;19388649]Good morning everyone, 9:05 ky. Time. Wife cooking breakfast, gonna get a little bike ride in before it gets too hot today. Forcast is 94°.

Bowtie, we got the generator installed yesterday, I have to call & set up propane tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

Congrats, Matt. Ain't it funny we park 10 grand worth of equipment, tanks, & gas out back and hope we never have to use it? Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, right? We have lots of (old) oak trees in our area that are the culprit for the majority of our outages. This is looking down the lane running by the side of my house. My lot is 300 feet deep and you can see there is no shortage of potential for a limb to fall across the lines. I had 3 more along the line until a couple of months ago. This whole area is like this. Post some pics when it gets done. We love generator ****.

I'll do it! Hopefully itll be all complete by end of week.
I couldn't help but to notice the 1000# sisters foot prints in the sand in bottom of pic. They must be inside primping for you.
Beautiful trees there though. Looks like a nice area.

Most of the newer areas around here are underground too. Most of us in this general vicinity are on well & septic. We don't even have sidewalks yet, but supposedly they are coming. The area where I live used to be an orange grove until a bad freeze wiped them out around 100 +/- years ago. There were platforms built in the St Johns river that they would stage the oranges on for pick up by steam ships. Believe it or not, the damned pilings are still a navigation hazard along the shore. My B-I-L whacked one with his boat and had to replace some parts on his lower unit. The house right next door to me is over 100 years old. There are still a few of them in this area. Harriet Beecher Stowe's Florida house is about 2/10 of a mile from my house. Lots of history out here.

Mr Krewat, I will confess I have no idea WTF 5th Element is nor do I care. I don't think my knowledge of that will make me any money nor enrich my present being. Therefore, I shall give you the evidence you need to confirm we are but a bunch of redneck cretins over here, there are exceptions, and relegate us to the ignominious status we deservedly have earned. With that, Sir, I present Sad Fridge and Happy Fridge. Thank you.
Sad Fridge:


Happy Fridge - 20 Pack 16oz Bud Lights

With that Sir, I shall bid you adieu, and proceed to releive the Happy Fridge of some of it's contents. Good day, Sir!

Have any of you guys been able to interact with PT, other than in some off the wall nonsense, as in get a direct response? I noticed Bowtie trying in the home electrical thread but didn't really get an answer from PT. That has been my experience in the past too, kind of weird.
