Looks like Bean and Me are not the only ones that disagree with Fish's Newark Airport Assessment

New York Area Has the Nation's 3 Worst Airports, Study Says


The study examined the 30 busiest airports in the nation, looking at factors such as timeliness, accessibility and amenities. LaGuardia Airport was ranked as the worst, followed by John F. Kennedy International and Newark Liberty International.
Therefore, Newark's the best airport around! Awesome. We're on the same page.
WRONG!   Go back and watch some more Kelly.
Kelly ended two hours ago. I'm applying for Obamacare now. Duh.
Applying for a job might be more rewarding. ;)
Hardly.  If he has a job he's less likely to get subsidies and what not. So unless Trump is elected he's better off hangin' with Ms Ripa.

Vaseline can be a cheap and effective preservative if you're going to put weapons in long-term storage. Just make sure to remove it thoroughly before using the gun. Stuff ignites - which is why I always carry vaseline-soaked cotton balls when backpacking. Stuff makes a great firestarter.
Wow, I'm sure glad I checked in on the banter this morning.  No telling what you will learn!  Morning fellas.  Raz, how did your return visit to the range go?
+1 on glad you checked in, Sly. Hope all is well. Another +1 on the interesting factoid about petroleum jelly. I guess that makes a lot of sense. Just never thought of it.
Works like a charm. Throw a spark at a Vaseline-soaked cotton ball and it lights right up and burns for several minutes, even in wet conditions.
I wonder if those (flaming) could be shot out of a tube?
If you've got the ability to shoot something from a tube, there are better ways to make fireballs.  Vaseline and cotton are for survival, not great as artillery.

Last week my 4 year old grandson ran out into the street, and right in front of a car.  It turned out that the car was new and had that auto breaking feature and stopped the car before hitting him.  The woman in the car was all shook up saying, "I never seen him, and then the car automatically stopped."  I guess in stead of Luke, I'm going to have to call him Lucky...!

I was on the Famous Auction site last week and got the itch to buy a few items.

$18.00   Arturo Fuente 858 5 Pack Candela 6x47
$13.00   Alec Bradley Connecticut Robusto 5 Pack 5x50
$14.00   Brick House Toro 5 Pack 6x52
$6.00   (2) Sucker Punch Lights Out 5x52
$10.50   (3) Perdomo Champagne Robusto 5x54

I've never tried a Candela, so I thought for $18 and Arturo Fuente, I didn't think that was too bad of a deal...  I also wanted a Connecticut, and Picked up the Alec Bradley for $13 which I thought was a good deal.  I couldn't pass up the Brick House...  I have tried a Sucker Punch in the past and liked it, so I picked up a couple of those and Perdomo Champagne's...
do you plan to hold onto the candela till march 17th for St. patricks day?
the champagne robustos are a nice cigar, as are the brick house.
 Looks like you did OK, just a little Gurkha shy on the order...  8)

Had to catch a little nap.
Dave, you got a preference for gun oil/cleaner?
Hoppes #9?
This is like opening Pandora's Box these days, there are a lot of good products availability.  Hopes #9 is still a good bore cleaner and probably very adequate.

I currently use:

M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner for the bore

https://www.amazon.com/M-Pro-Cleaner-8-Ounce-Spray-Bottle/dp/B00162PQTG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1478531844&sr=8-2&keywords=m+pro-7


Break Free CLP General Purpose Clean and Lube (Amazon r Walmart). Ballistol found at Amazon Link is also very good.

https://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aclp%20gun%20cleaner

Lots of folks use Frog Lube these days also

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_89_11?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aclp+gun+cleaner%2Cp_89%3AFrog+Lube&keywords=clp+gun+cleaner&ie=UTF8&qid=1478532128&rnid=2528832011

Rem Oil Wipes for just a general wipe down protectant  (Walmart)

There are many other good choices just don't use WD40 or such on your guns.

so I take it Virgin Olive Oil is out too?
thanks Dave.
As is KY and Vasoline

Indeed, we're a font of information.  Morning Sly.
G'morning West Coast Clemson Dave!  Was wondering on Saturday what the uniforms would look like when Clemson played Syracuse.  Wonder if it confused any of the players (orange on orange).
Always wear purple for Military Appreciation Day.  As for Syracuse....ugly uniforms...I think they've forgotten they're supposed to be orange.   Even their fans hate these uniforms.

Good morning gents.....  I'm mulching leaves... ugh..., and I seem to get onto here when I'm working in the yard... :)
they have machines to do that now,
you no longer have to chew them yourself...
I've got the wife out there doing it now.. :)  After she lost her job I thought we were going to kill each other the first 2 months.  Now I've realized that if I assign her some work to do, I can keep her out of my hair...!  Now we only fight 1/2 the time.. :)

Well, I didn't fall in a hole, so I guess that's success.
Yay (applause)!
But then yesterday - the second anniversary of the injury - I had a little mishap with a ladder and thought I might have reinjured the leg. Doesn't appear so, but the leg lets me know every so often that it isn't happy with me.  And the whole thing gave me a touch of PTSD. Combination of panic and horror. I had to quit working on the house and have a cigar and a couple of drinks.
So in other words, a win!

That's what this place is for....avoiding work.
That seems like the only time I'm on here.... :)
As you have not been on here much, apparently you are not doing a particularly good job of avoiding work...

Last week on a nice day, my wife, me and a friend was sitting in our back yard.  Suddenly a flock of birds, about 15, all black, with a wing span of would 3 foot, passed over my house.  They turned and went about 3 houses down and started to circle like vultures...  I said, "Look at that, they look like small eagles."  One bird broke off of the circle and flew down to us, and circled over us.  I'm guessing they were about maybe 75 to 100 yards above us.  So we could see they were black and looked like birds but that was about it.  Then the one that was circling us, few back to the others and they all few south about 1/4 mile, and started the circle pattern again.  I said, "look at those birds, none of them are flapping their wings...!!!"  We all watched them, and again, none of them flapped their wings.  While they were near us, I ran inside and got my phone to try and take their pictures, but as soon as I stepped out, they flew off.  It was very, very, weird...!  Ok, back outside for more work, and watching for birds..!

Well, they say that to cure PTSD, one should engage in activities that are meaningful and peaceful.

Padron 2000's Jamming for 0% off, and half gone. ::)
I saw some Padron's, I think, on the monster.  And I believe they were about $.50 higher than the retail price.  What's up with Padron...?
