Makes you wonder what ever happened to the plain, old flu? This time of year it was all the conversation. I mean after all, annual numbers were millions infected and 10's of thousand victims.

I sent my paper app in couple of weeks ago.

Since I'm sitting here reading internet news and CW, I'm also in the boycott camp. Hope the Pats win.

There is some discussion that this might be repealed. Just pay registration for 1 year at a time.

Couldn't get mine to re-set either. Said A-S and just called the 1-800 number to check on the draw results.

Consider them sold. I'm trying to build an AR so I can use some of those parts. Call me at 520-507-5212.

Any one else notice this? I've only seen it in a couple of places.

This was brought to my attention a couple of days ago. Any one know when this first appeared or how they came up with their definition?

My question goes to the "harvest" ratio. They used to call it "success" rate so...if we are all "successful" (100%) whether we harvest or not, how to they know how many tags to issue the following year?

Ok, I'll get up on the soap box one last time.. If you don't like having your app kicked out because the card/bank doesn't recognize the charge, STOP USING THE dang CARD. Apply on paper, send a check and grin knowing that at least your app was processed and not kicked out like those who used their card. Don't give me that "oh I can't afford to pay all at once crap." If you can take 12 months to pay off your credit card hits, you can take 12 months to save up the money to cover the check. We, as hunters have forgotten who is actually driving the bus. Or as some would say, "we've let the tail wag the dog". If you don't want the whole "apply 'on-line' only" to become the only way to apply, start demanding that we go back to paper, or at least, they have to accept both, whether they like it or not. Personally, I will be the last person in Arizona to apply by paper app. covered by my check for which I've saved enough over the year to cover it.

I'm looking for an independent shop or mechanic that specializes in Ford trucks. More exactly, one who know alot about those dreaded 5.4 3v Triton engines. Maybe a Ford instructor?

It is a 2008 and developed that 'diesel knock'. Ford dealership said no problem, you just need $7,500 motor. Between two shops and $2,000 (didn't fix problem) I spent days of research and then replaced every moving part in the front of that motor. [soliniods, cam phasers, timing chains, guides, and oil pump]. Another shop said it needs new heads. After getting it back together, the engine code says that cam position isn't sync'd. I was super careful putting it back together, but now would like a learned second opinion. As for location, I live in SE Az so Tucson would be nice, but willing to consider Phoenix. I had to trailer this thing back from NC so a few extra miles now doesn't seem too far.

Aside from the obvious couple of answers, what, if any, can a person due for a gun with some rust. Not that it makes a difference how it happened, but I had a water line break and some of my guns got wet.

Thanks for the info and ideas. I just used some of that evapo rust on a chain, and although it took longer than advertised, it did work. I was just wondering about the blueing. I was also a little leary about using steel wool vs the blueing.

Was in Safford yesterday afternoon. Came out of Walmart and there sits a Dark Green maybe black YJ hardtop with the camo one in the rear window. Pretty neat. Drive across the street and there is a silver/blue Dodge PU in the Safeway parking lot. Two in less than 5 minutes...,must be hunt'n season or something.

I bought a home made (yet good quality) dehydrator back about 30 years ago. Two years ago, it quit. What quit was the adjustable heating element. It is a brown cone shaped affair with wires wrapped around it. They look like the inside of a toaster. This unit screws into a light socket. When I try and explain my dilemma or show someone the heating element, all I get is dumb stares and "I have no idea". I really had no expectation that I could/would find an exact replacement, but thought someone could/would be able to point me at a 21st century replacement. So...anyone have a 'best guess' at what a new replacement heating element is called/can be found? Thanks in advance.

SW, I think you posted the pix for me. Thank you. I've look everywhere I could think of. After I get my heating element out, I'm gonna give them a call. GH

Never mind. I'll keep that comment to myself.

Oh...Oh...I know...I know. But I'll wait for a few more guesses.

Ya, they are trying all kinds of angles. Wife got a call yesterday from some guy pretending to be calling about Dish Network. He said he could cut out bill, but of course, he needed our CC info.

No one has brought it up, but I was wondering how many times the deadline was extended when it was a paper app only?

With physical mail taking so long to just go across town, I figured Wed was about the last day. I mailed mine, with a number from my store-bought license and paid for with a paper check. Have never been let down doing it the "old fashioned" way.

Looking for a 1911 or 1911 platform in .22. Prefer Colt, but would consider other quality handguns

I never did understand why so many people got upset once when a guy was talking about the new wench he put on the front of his jeep. Kidding of course, bout made me fall out of the chair laughing.

All you have to do is ignore it, go find or ask for a real human being and eventually, the store will get the hint. Walmart has seen shoppers go past the self-serve checkout and wait in line. Now they are announcing that "tellers" are coming back for x-mas.
