N.A.H.C. is not a hunting club. It is a selling club designed to take advantage of bored sportsmen with spare money.

I miss camp. I mean hanging out the whole weekend & such. Come on April.

I hated that piece of ****.

REPEAL SAFE ACT T-shirts
Fantail replied to Jeremy K's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
One or two mailing lists making the rounds has a list of shops said to have these, I checked out two locations all they had were the signs. Which are fine and all, if you have a front yard. -
Not bad at all.

Something to make you laugh on this cold day!

Good classic. -
I have actually taken to hiking in with snowshoes & tow in a mixing tub for a gear sled. I also have a tractor since then, with a bucket and a 3-point blade. While I could remove snow with this set up I'm going to leave it be for the snowmobiles. Road is part of a maintained trail system now. If that goes well I shouldn't have access issues after March. Just before spring if there are clumps or banks of snow left over I may intervene due to I think allot of shading slowing the melt off.

Few weeks ago I finished a jar of pepperoni's. Decided to recycle the juice, added some garlic and pickle eggs with it. Couldn't fit a whole dozen just 10.

A few miles south of you near Williamstown. I'm a little jealous it's a mile & 1/2 walk for me. I use snow shoes & drag gear in a mixing tub.

I'm going to replace the battery bank this year with 4x6v CG2's series-parallel, should be about 1/2 grand. Having used the h/f panels for a few years now I can say this, they are trickle chargers at best. Amorphous panels simply are not as efficient as mono or crystalline. Their advantage is having some shade tolerance. With the h/f kit or two and a 12v marine battery you could probably do well with lighting and keeping your pda/cell charged, maybe a radio, jazz like that. Down the road though if your going to depend on more off grid power, you'll need mono-poly crystalline panels. That's the jazz. Yes the key is the battery - bank & disciplined use. Use as much dc as possible, meaning without an inverter on a smaller / compact system. Having said that try not to drain your battery - bank down under 12v - 50% state of charge. Most charge controllers lvd - low voltage disconnect will help protect at 11.1+v be aware the h/f controller is lower. True deep cycle batteries can handle more abuse but dual purpose or 12v marine batteries won't. Solar works, if the user doesn't demand more than it can give. If you want refrigeration & have an absorption-propane fridge and don't mind dragging tanks to camp that is also a good off grid alternative. Good luck.

As an alternate to the nat-grid costs and headache, I run my camp completely off grid. Refrigeration, vents, lights, laptop, charge power tools.

Jeep was in Colorado mode getting to work this am, 4 high.

If I left NY now, regardless of the safe act, I would destroy part of my retirement plan. That is, if I put the property right back on the market. Im not going into details but planning to split to another state isn't as black and white as some might want it to be.

Now google Anchorage Alaska temperature for a kick.

I have and regularly use a tracfone LG 530g. Connect via usb to pc & transfer files all the time. It first prompts to connect to mass data - if not it goes to charge. I can't comment on bluetooth - don't use it.

Decided to catch the divisional playoff games but when I stepped outside it was almost as if spring was in the air. Melting snow, mud, lots of mud, only thing missing was seeing the robins on the ground. Had the itch to get some work done at camp and start on the garden at home. But then there's the rest of Jan., Feb., & March. Time like this I miss the extra overtime to burn through winter.

I predict that the weather will favor three seasons, black flies, mosquitoes, & deer fly seasons.

Sounds good. Spend a night kick up a fire cook up some jazz have a few cold ones.

The other day I was at a dollar store witnessed someone use their ebt to draw cash back. Before that at a Hess some **** tried to use her ebt as ID to buy beer & smokes, cashier refused and she spit in his face. It's out money and the welfare addicts could give a ****. The democrats will never let welfare end as they would loose half their voting block.

Do you use anything such as pipe foam to protect the bark from the hard plastic? -
You mean the one on the global warming mission that the media isn't fessing up to?
