I think many laws look over those kinds of things...LMAO

but i swear you could have a huge industrial burning and cutting laser in the back of a truck, and if he asks "whats that thing", you could say it was a industrial grade movie projector, or a microwave communications support unit, or a long distance laser leveling/rangefinder used in modern long distance surveying, LMAO

I read a piece somewhere a ways back, before 911, where they showed a bunch of cops various pictures of parts of nuclear stuff; something like 99.9% believed whatever the caption said it was. One of the funniest was something like "industrial pressure creation device; high levels"

not that i think locals should have degrees in nuclear theory; but you gotta wonder with all the arab cab drivers running around big cities how many locals would actually KNOW what they were looking at under the tarp in the pickup? I honestly question if the patriot act actually makes us safe, or is just one more harassment for ordinary citizens.

You can go to any guns store and buy an 8# keg of smokeless powder with no background check. Imagine the mayhem you could cause with that!!

LOL! My brother-in-law drove an Olds 98 in Taiwan. Cars with three passenger front seats were unheard of there. Anyhow I was driving his 98 on the freeway with my wife sitting in the middle seat, buckled up with the lap belt. We got pulled over...when we asked what was wrong, the cop said she didn't have on a seat belt. When I pointed out the lap belt, he got embarrassed because he thought he had made a fool out of himself in front of a foreigner.

You know that the 66 still gets about 18 mpg.. Dang and my 87 gets 15 , yup total sense to me..

HEAD SHOTS DON'T LEAVE BLOOD TRAILS ! Rob

start adding the weight up:

catalytic converter, extra piping, tons of hoses, the computer(s), the air pump aint light...

then figure that stuff is to reduce emissions. better gas mileage would do wonders, too, lmao

my neighbor found a car remarkably well preserved with tall grass and weeds and small trees growing up around it, it was some special half-year to find for a ford fairlane, the one that means its worth more, but no parts for all the others and sister cars fit it, lmao.

he ran it for a while, then decided to re-do it from the ground up, everything, while it was still in good running shape to make his work easier.

when he was done, it looks stock from all outward appearances, down to the sedate little am radio, and the original plastic bag for the wiper fluid. The engine, though, was a different story, LMAO. He goes nuts with stuff like that. Its a stroker and everything, you feel like an elephant is sitting on you when he punches it at cruising speeds, lmao.

anyhoo, this ridiculously powerful "sleeper" old car, was before emissions was a thought for designers. He only runs a muffler to "be nice" as the original didnt specifically call for one from the date of manufacture rules.

so this fire breathing monster-mobile, when it was all done, for some arcane reason he took it in for emissions testing. Mind you, its stroked into a much larger engine now, drawing in and consuming much more air and fuel than ever before per (4)revolutions of the motor.

it passed emissions with flying colors, all the way up to the very late eighties.

My 89 car i was running at the time, we compared emissions reports...made me want to cry, LMAO, mine were higher.

so much for progress.

Now if we can pull Sedstar out of PA were on..

OK Sed, tell bookins that you'll be going away for a few days in August. Drop the cat off at her place so she can take care of it, and head on over.

did "we" decide if airports was going to be a hassle to get an arsenal thru? are you driving? I'm thinking a couple hundred in gas money, and a couple hundred in hotel money once I'm there. I'm also fairly good with maps as a navigator.

I figure I'll bring about a grand in case I need it.

(sigh) Me and RobDW, in the same vehicle, prancing thru the edge of new york city. What could possibly go wrong?

The Reload Bench definition:Backorder
typical process for anything related with the 264 RLB™ project

If Rob picks you up you won't be going near NYC. I assume that you are in western PA and I have a pretty good idea as to where Rob is. Taking a look at the map Rob would most likely be taking this route:
I-81 North -> I-380 East -> I-84 East -> I-90 East -> I-290 East -> I-495 North -> I-95 North to Portsmouth ME, then local directions from Clayt.

The route might vary depending on where you are, but even with a slight change in plans, the closest you will come to NYC is 50 to 60 miles. If you drive over here and catch a ride with MC1911 and myself, you'll only be about 40 miles from NYC.

Tim,
That's good news that she didn't go postal! The Dover Days Inn, which is the least expensive lodging that I found, does have an Internet connection in their rooms so you can stay in-touch. What we need to do is convince speedbump and Doc to go and get all 4 264 RLB's at one range!

Tink,
That's awesome! You plan on driving or dealing with the airport firearm headaches?

OK, I called the Dover Days Inn and got some information. From what the woman on the phone (Tammy) said, they are very busy during the Summer. It would be best to make your reservation ASAP to ensure an available room during August. Reservations can be made by calling the Dover Days Inn directly at a rate of $238 [$129 for Saturday (8/5) and $109 for Sunday (8/6)]. If something comes up and you're not able to make it, reservations made via phone can be cancelled up to 24 hours before the check-in time.

You can also make reservations online at a slightly reduced rate of $202.30. However, this rate requires prepayment of room and tax and no cancelations or changes allowed. Also, if reservations are made via the Internet, you need to reserve more than 9 rooms to get a group rate. Tammy said that she could offer a group rate of 10% off, for as few as 4 rooms while making reservations with her on the phone.

The rates are for a single room (2 double beds) for 1 or 2 people per room. Complimentary Continental Breakfast is included. The facility also has a wireless Internet connection for those that just have to be connected, like myself. Also, from the looks of it on the map, I'd estimate Clayt's club to be under a 30 minute drive from the hotel.

I will drive.. I have been withing an hour of your town, so heck we will just keep driving.. I am glad you are navigating, I flunked orienteering...LMAO

Like Greg said, "I think it was to keep us outta jail though" , we can skate around the outskirts and roll up in there big pimpin my wife's car..LOL The Sebring is better on gas than my truck..

If anyone else carpools with us, The the Suburban it will be..

if youre ride has a CB, i'm pretty good at working a radio and getting bear reports out of the truckers, in between spotting exits and such navigating.

Double occupancy rooms (two full or double beds) are available.

This place is located in southern Maine and a 20 minute ride to the beach. It's a busy summer vacation spot from what I hear. If you do a hotels.com or travelocity.com search you'll see that this is one of the least expensive places around. There are a bunch of B&B's nearby that start at $200 plus per night. It actually looks like a pretty nice place for the price. Oh, and Sed, there is a Jacuzzi along side the indoor pool. Here's the link to the Dover Days Inn

Sed, the CB? You're going to lower your frequency and play in the 11 meter band? I might just have to setup the Cobra 148 GTL and slap a magnet mount on the rental car.

I'm going to build two boxes with good padlocks to house my guns and ammo. I figure any cop I encounter will have a hard time finding an excuse to accuse me of some local ordinance barring terrorism

If we get an official looking flyer, it would be easier to explain if stopped, but I don't think that will be a show stopper in any case.

Most Holiday Inn Express motels have two bed options. I wouldn't mind a room mate if they like Sed says, were somewhat normal. I have been accused of snoring which I deny. It's only two days so, it depends on how tolerent you are.

I have a healthy appetite so I hope we can plan on a few feasts I haven't really met anything I've seen someone else eat that I wouldn't eat. I've caught and eaten rattle snake and I've eaten fried grass hoppers. I love good hot sauce and am a very decent cook myself.

This is going to be quite fun and I'm really looking forward to it. The RLB members that don't make this one will probably hear enough funny stories to want to make the next one.

are hairy dudes still cool? hair USED to be cool, but i think its out.

Greg: I dunno if we should bring our CB's. They are both capable of transmitting off frequency, and gaelscot will have no choice but to call the FCC field office, hee hee.

I dunno about a mag mount on Rob's wifes car... likely, it aint a 850 dollar special like mine, plus i heard shes the tougher of the two of them. I might have to content myself with the handheld and its rubber duck (shudder). its full power (4W) though. Should be useful for talking to a trucker, about, oh, say...100 feet from our car for status reports on the bear sitimigation as "we roll".

I dont think either of them smoke either, so I'll be rubbing the entire trip, depending on the car rules.

I think this is going to be a really good time had by all. It will be like a weekend out with the boys, which by the way I shouldn't say to the wife anymore as she gives me THAT look every time I say it. I'm sure there will be plenty of tall tales and funny moments. Think about it, Rob and Sedstar in the same place together. Do I need to say more? I'll have to capture some of those moments on video and stream it from the site!

Sed,
I don't think that anyone would be worried about your sexual orientation just because you split a room with Rob. As for the speedos, that is not proper shooting or dining attire. LOL

Transmitting off frequency huh, well tracking a mobile unit is a bit more difficult than a base unit, but we could come up with a specific frequency rotation and between the upper and lower sideband and the unlocked clarifier, we could be sliding back and forth over the 11M and 10M band which would keep the FCC pretty busy. I'm renting either a SUV or Mini-Van for the trip. I guess it depends on how much "stuff" I plan on taking with me. Either way, the magnet mount antenna on the roof of either shouldn't be problem.

Well Sed,
I will do the room thing, But I don't spoon or cuddle well.. And you have to by me dinner first.. Since my brother became a Turd Burglar I don't ponder on it too much..

I am all for saving the bux though.. I have no problem with my Thermo-Rest and my mummy North Face , to save 150 bux a night..

AS for the hair.. Well problem is I liked it where it used to be, but it grew back where I didn't need it, nor did I want it.. Speedos also known as cheek chillers, I ain't ever had a pair on before.. Now I know I wouldn't wear one, besides the sock shows to bad with them on...LMAO

Greg,
Are you gonna do another Reload Wear sale?.. To be official we should have the same shrts on... Let me and Sedstar get ours in time to cut the sleaves out..LOL

SAFE SHOOTING, and have a GREAT DAY

It's been a while since I placed the minimum order for the sport shirts and caps but there are still 12 pending orders for tee shirts, not including my order. The tee shirt orders were pretty much like a pre-order thing where once the minimum amount was reached, I'd contact everyone and then ask for payment.

The Reload Bench Store is still online, if you want to even call it a store, but there needs to be a minimum of 36 tee shirts ordered. If the members who placed the original 12 orders still want their tee's and I include my order of 6 (wife, kids, and mine) that brings us halfway there to 18 orders. I'd have to contact the vendor and confirm if those prices are valid, but I doubt the costs went up much, if any.

It would be nice to have a supply of shirts that I could sell and ship out right away, but I can't afford to layout the money for the initial stock, especially if I need to keep several different sizes and colors.

I'd like to place another order for shirts. I'm sorry I only got 2 sport shirts and caps in the first order. Maybe this will spark enough attention to get some pre-orders together. Regarding you and Sed, I couldn't picture it any other way than to see you two with the sleeves cutout...
