The tiny tube from the exhaust to the carb is a heat tube for the choke. You can get a whole new tube (and you should) for about ten dollars. A heat rise choke works wonderfully when the tube is good. Good luck with the rest of the project, a friend bought a non-running '97 Bronco that we have been ...

Two choices. Pompeii. Vesuvius erupted in August of 79, but they were still rebuilding the town from the earthquake of 69. So maybe 55 in Pompeii. But not to live. After staying there for a year, either hiking over the Alps, or (more likely) taking a boat to Roman Britain. The politics of Rome didn'...

I like the new Doctor, and I think it's going well. The first season with a new doctor is always a little off, as they try to settle in, but it always gets better. The companions should match the doctor though, and Clara was never a fit for this one. Seemed like a divorced dad (gone for a few years)...

In 1993 I bought a Glock 20. and Five mags... and two cases of Black Talon ammo.


Great gun, and Glock recently replaced springs and whatnot. It's a two letter serial number, so it needed a few upgrades. I've put somewhere between 17,000 and 20,000 rounds through it. 50 after the upgrade.

I thought they bought all those locks back, and redesigned the locks after that...

Tools are heavy, and less tools makes for less weight. Lighter tools make for less weight. Light tools are not as sturdy, and a light hammer is not as effective, so we'll look at less tools. When I started working on my car years ago, I grabbed all the tools. If I used a tool, it went into a new pil...

In Illinois, the instant check goes through, but there are two other things. One is FOID or Firearms Owner's ID card. Have to have that for guns and ammo and owning and transporting. The second thing is the waiting period. Three days for a pistol, and one day for a rifle or shotgun. (also 18 for lon...

Dual sports are good for taking off and going places. The "specific use" of a dual sport, is the same as a hatchback. It's good for loading up and leaving. They handle traffic as you are upright and can see over the cars, they handle potholes with aplomb. They look good unwashed, and if they get kno...

Looks like a lot of fun...




I'll drive the 4000 mile round trip in a post apocalyptic car if the passengers all pay for the gas. Otherwise, I can't make it. 18 mpg...
It's like only... uh... 250 a person if three people want to go along...

I have the nice Nalgene canteen, and the stainless cup, and the stove, and I even made an aluminum lid for the cup. It's nice, but heavy. My light weight set-up is a Gatorade water bottle, a one pound coffee can, and a peanut butter jar for a cup. The can has been seasoned like an iron skillet, and ...

The ultra light hikers have done some amazing things to reduce weight. Not the individual items, but rethinking the entire concept. The pack, bag, and tent weigh the most, and those items can be changed out. The pack can go down to a pound, the tent goes away for a tarp, and the bag gets cut in half...

Do watch the Shug videos. He's awesome.

Cooking and living and putting up with cold in a hammock. Not just what brands he likes best.

and then... Mountain bike unicycle? on trails? Sure.

Some rest stops will have a dump for the black and gray water. Solar is nice for small things, but a generator or hooking up to power will be needed. Propane/12v refrigerators beat $3 block of ice long term. Make sure the fridge is level. Some start parks allow camping for two weeks. (Free) and some...

So... Anyone read "Demon under glass" ?

I Illinois it's illegal to wear a mask, or anything that hides your face, in public. Worse when possessing a firearm, and there are exceptions for hunters.

I will bet there are employees saying "thank God it's just Anthrax! I thought there might be a problem!"

The issue of an inflatable getting a puncture is a real issue. They are also heavier than they look, take up more space when packed, (even more after you take them out of their factory box) and you need a way to pump them up, and top off the air. Pumps are either noisy and take an electrical source,...

From the BBC: Iraq's biggest oil refinery has been invaded by Sunni-led Islamist militants. The Baiji oil refinery lies 210km (130 miles) north of Baghdad. It was attacked in the early hours of Wednesday morning with insurgents reportedly using mortars and machine guns. The attack on the refinery co...

Seems like you have a good reliable pistol.

I don't think the Rock Islands will ever be the same price as a Colt, however, so you should have time to get another.

tagged. I like getting international news on ZS.

Thank you to everyone for playing nice and keeping this thread open.

A minor accident might require something for road rash, and there will be some strains and sprains. A few advil will help keep the swelling down while you pick the bike up, and go somewhere to get fixed up better. The Advil might make the bleeding a little worse, but being too stiff to climb back of...

Howdy

I've always wanted to take two and make a set of saddle bags for a dirt bike.
