I lost a friend almost 2 years ago. He also got nailed by Agent Orange In Nam. His lungs eventually gave out on him. His smoking didn't help it out any either.

Sheesh...that's a pricey mistake.
Reminds of the time we had a young guy put an engine in and he didn't realize the torque converter popped out of the pump. Didn't matter, he used the bell housing bolts to pull it tight. Put it all together and the engine ran but lo and behold the transmission didn't work due to the smashed pump.
He then got to do his first transmission replacement.
It was an expensive lesson but he learned something.
Never was one to sled or snow ski . I don’t even like getting in my Dodge to plow . Only reason I’m still in the snow belt is my mom .
You bet this is gonna get pricey. I will be shocked if this is resolved without ending up in court.Sheesh...that's a pricey mistake.

Yeah I think you’re right about it being different state to state. I’m in Illinois. They have ya by the short hairs and don’t care.
I got the impression that a lot of you guys were appalled at IL requiring a FOID card to buy ammunition. Being in IL, I didn't really think about it since I've never had an issue with it. Go into a store, show your card and buy your shells. Even an online outlet only required a photo copy of the card sent to them before they would sell/ship ammo to me.
Well, a store I wanted to make an on-line purchase will not sell anything to me. The local Academy Sports store is out of stock. The on-line CS will not ship to store or take my FOID card for an order. Their CS is single level, no supervisors or someone with a brain. Their system is not setup to accept FOID cards so IL customers loose out on the sales. I'm pi$$ed.

I am so glad that the idiots in NY have largely overlooked the reloading area, as I do not shoot any factory centerfire ammo. That said, it can be a PITA to get 22 and shotgun ammo. If you try to buy stuff at a Walmart, you never know if it is in stock or not, and they will not tell you over the phone! So stupid! Also, large rifle primers are still very hard to find ... luckily, I've stocked up on them when I did see them.
The nearest Cabela's is in CT, the NY ones are hours away. To buy ammo in CT you need a CT full carry permit. The only requirements are to have a NY permit and go through the gauntlet of applications and fingerprints and pay about $250. So why don't they just accept my NY full carry permit? It is all BS and about money and control. The only good news is that now I can also carry in CT.
Most sporting goods stores no longer sell guns or ammo. Gone are the good old days when almost every hardware store sold 22 ammo, shotgun shells and popular centerfire ammo!
Also, so stupid, in NY to buy ANY semi auto firearm (including handguns, 22s and shotguns) you need to have that "privilege" added to you carry permit. Of course, they are going to give it to anyone who has a full carry permit, so it is just another stupid hurdle you have to cross and is a way to discourage gun ownership.
I am so upset the Democrat narrowly won the last Gubernatorial election. I believe there were mistakes made during the campaign, and I hope the next one goes differently.

Our Walmart is usually stocked pretty good. .410 shows up once in a while and I buy the 3 box limit. Stihl need a gun to shoot it though.
The even have 16 gauge in stock although a bit pricey for the high brass. Centerfire in most common calibers and brands on the shelf. Rural king has plenty of ammo too but some are off the wall brands I never heard of. A guy had a whole bunch of reloading stuff on marketplace but didn't know if the $500 price was good or not.
Happy new year gents
Just put up some new cutting and splitting vids if you want to hang out. Did I post the clutch bearing issue one here? Anyway, here’s one just for fun.

Got the first quote for my new shop 30x50x12 with two 10x10 roll up doors (may not go with roll up) two 24x36 windows one 36x80 man door . I also requested the Prodex R16 full insulation package. Upgraded to 145mph +43.5 PSF certified construction. Shipped and installed $26,064.00 plus my local sales tax
Will be this style

On the subject of roll up doors, I would go with garage door style. I recently had one of the internal springs break and all of the folks around here that repair roll up doors said it was cheaper to replace rather than repair. I had no intention of buying another $1100 door for a broken spring, so I pulled it down and did the surgery and found and installed a new spring. I can see why it would cost so much if you had to pay someone to do it. Just my experience, but I would never go roll up again unless I had to. Fortunately for me it was only an 8x8.
I looked at the cab models before I bought this one. A cab just doesn't work in my woods unless I did a lot of clearing back of my roads. I don't like the confinement of a cab. I would have loved the AC and heater. The added cost for the cab model was cost prohibitive for me at that time. My tractor is a leftover 2014 NX4510hst. I bought it in 2016 for $21,500 out in Wisconsin and no sales tax. Locally it would have cost me over $30k with the tax. I drove out to WI and rented a UHaul trailer to tow it home. That cost me $966.00 total for that trip. I stopped in SkaneatIas, NY on the way home to visit friends. I sold my previous tractor for $7K which I put down on the new one. The actual out of pocket cost was very reasonable on this tractor. My old tractor owned me nothing.Just looked at the pics and noticed you're an open station man. I like your thinking.
No company that sells ammo will ship anything to Taxachusetts. Here they require outside vendors to have an ammunition permit to ship here. We are screwed for ordering ammo, powder, primers and most others items online. Many people just go out of State to buy supplies. Also having friends in nearby States helps too. Taxachusetts is now keeping records on all ammo purchases. Walmart stopped selling ammo here a few months ago. This State has gone to shat big time with our illustrious Governor. Her new gun restrictions were put in without any hearings. C U, Next Tuesday is what gunowners call her.
The concrete slab would cost more than that here!
That’s not including the slab . I’ll be doing radiant heating in it too and I’ll have to see how thick for the slab as per town code . I’ll probably do two pours one for main area and one for the two pads for the two post lift so I don’t hit any of the heating pipe .
