+1 - only paper, metal or people.

My choice is a G26 with the +2 magazine extension. Difficult for me to concealed carry something bigger.

CM, I'm supposed to get a new G26 next week and I've got to put about 1000 rds of DPX through it. Maybe sometime in Nov. in NJ.

The NBC local news did a story on All You Can Jet passengers who flew to 3 places to skydive, cliff dive and Alligator wrestling , sbm12 should have been on it

The local radio station talked about two guys that spent 30 days visiting 31 cities using the Jetblue card. I thought about sbm12 too.

I was pumping for lunch at the diner on Essex Street but she wanted Houston's at Riverside Square so you can guess the outcome of that one. My consolation was some very reasonably priced Caymus Conundrum (nevertheless accompanied by a check that was about twice or maybe three times what it would have been at the diner). :)

A typical afternoon of shopping in New Jersey for what we need and where we can park not far from the door along with saving the sales tax on clothing. ^

We're a few min from Bergen Mall. Maybe we can DO the diner when we're in NJ sometime. I like it but my wife doesn't. Could also meet for lunch when I'm teaching in Englewood.

There's also a decent wine store across the road from Bloomingdales. If you don't know it - Total Wine in River Edge www.totalwine.com

HHonors used to be a lot more generous — far more bonuses, discounts on redemptions for more than one night that grew with each additional night, milestone bonuses that you automatically got after doing things like staying a certain number of times in a certain period of time, and the quarterly profile update bonuses that could give you a few thousand points a year if you remembered to update your profile online each quarter. It's not a horrible program now, but certainly a far cry from what it was pre-2003/2004.

CM do you play the Big Troll Hunter game when at pubs?

:D

I've not heard of this. I thought Big Troll Hunter was the rest of the CO forum. :D

I've never put other than the target up on the range - I always feared that the range staff would think I'm a nutcase.

Funny thread. I remember there being another one about onboard movies too.

My response is "my base premium will be 6% higher when you start adding other increases in future years" ...

I'm scared to see what happens with our health insurance premium next year. We haven't been told yet.

Name it. I'll be there with bells on. ^ Only day that doesn't work is my birthday, the 16th.

Wow, I haven't been here in FOREVER. The beginning of school has been crazy...

Yeah, the UF defense pretty much reduced us to that tonight. :(

Night, Box - off to bed; tomorrow morning is a drive to Washington Crossing State Park for some towpath biking... (though I'd honestly rather be sleeping)
