I remember a very slight earthquake we had several years back. I remember sitting on the couch, felt a slight vibration, thought I was having hallucinations, then the Channel 6 news flips on with omfg breaking news! "We just had an 8.0 earthquake!"

roflol^ I would have to breakdown and buy a bigger safe for a 12 gauge. Carrie has decided to close our USBank account (due to that stop payment they screwed up) and pay off the Visa with the tax return. That means I would have to come up with $350 for the Moss 500 + $200-500 for the larger safe. We need a new safe anyhow but...

Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?

I forget about Bi-Mart. That's a good plan because I was going to get the "just in Case" model but I could do that myself and get the tube from Lowe's (PVC with two plugs).

^ im not sure what part you are replacing.. are you just trying to make more room for ammo? you can just take the plug out and it will take 2 or 3 more rounds depending on if you use 2 inch or 2 1/4 ammo mossberg 500 wont take 3 inch.. =/ i have a box of 3 sitting collecting dust i hate to just throw them away rather give them to someone who can use them for a couple bucks

I just want the short barrel and pistol grip. The "Just in case" has that mod already in Blue or Camo and it comes in a waterproof PVC tube with a solid end and rubber stopper on the other. Some have carry strap also. You made me realize I could just do all that myself and save $100.

^Gunflation. That is why I want to stock up on Ammo. Everything is going up in price. Even the background check is going up ($10 to $26). If you have been putting off a purchase, go buy it before July 1st.

Small SYA pistol with 6+1. Got it for size/weight requirements as it is about 6X4X1" and just over 23oz loaded. This is my second PPK, but the first one was an S (7+1) that weighed the same UNLOADED. This one came with 3 clips (there was an extra one under the foam in the case???).

so we made a tearful farewell to the Pilot this morning. We traded it in on an 09 Jetta Sport Wagon with power, leather, rails, blah blah 20K fewer miles, lower payment, double the mileage, equal space.

We'll miss that Pilot though, Britt and I have been together for over 12 years, but that Pilot was the first car we bought as a married couple and the first family car we bought, so hard to see her go. Kept her plates though so we'll always have a piece of the Pilot with us.

I own the T-Rex I like to own cars so I owed on the Pilot still so I got the loan amount to be the same on the Jetta. The gas mileage is double what the pilot was and pilot was running me about 70.00 a week! So the Jetta gave us basically the same cargo capacity but we get a full roof moon roof (dizamn), heated leather seats, power seats, ipod connectivity, 6 disc changer, roof rails, so a bit of an upgrade Lower car payment and our insurance is lower now too. So savings all around.

It was hard trading the Pilot, first car purchased married, first car I purchased with my parents co-signing, first family car, brought our daughter home in it etc.. etc...

My car on the other hand has way more memories lol, found out wife was preg with our son, moved from Eugene and gave up that life style with the TSX, picked up my career, grew up, took trips, got married with it, had two kids with it, I dunno if I'll ever be able to trade it lol, it'll be on blocks in my front yard 20 years from now! ha

ya i know what you mean.. the tsx will be hard for me to give up too specially coming from a civic dx with no power options..

we still have our eye on a rdx but our main goal is still leaving this area first before we make the next purchase.. dont wanna have my springs sit and collect dust too long =)

We got a huge return cause of Ellie. Babies rock! Lol too bad the little bit they gave back for her won't even offset the average 200k that it takes to raise a child from birth to 18 years! We should get kid returns every year!!

Tell effin kitzhaber to lower state taxes!!!! That's the killer around here

Yeah I typically owe the state every year. Worst part is that they "lose" the check I mail them, then about a month or so later I get a letter in the mail letting me know that they're tacking on late charges

Look OUT Here comes a Marco rant!

Can't understand why the state takes ANY money from the poor people. If you make less than $10,890, you are below the Federal poverty level. You should not have to pay the state of Oregon a dime. Yet if you look at the Oregon tax tables the individual making $10k is paying $750 in taxes. As a matter of fact, even if your income pencils out to $20 on the tax form, you still owe $2 to the state of Oregon.

C'mon, really Oregon? I made $20 and you actually have the fucking balls to ask me for 10% of it???

This message is for anyone that made between $20 and $50 last year in Oregon. If you bring me your tax form I will pay the $2 you owe.
Offer excludes back takes, child support, un-paid parking tickets, etc.

Is that an "H" on the grille? I need a dedicated car camera to catch those bitches who have been trying to cut me off in traffic lately. What is up with the 18 yr old girls now-a-days? Maybe I should tape the gun to the back window.

So we have a Garmin Nuvi 5000 and in the pilot there was a very nice little pocket to put it in. In the Jetta that isn't there anymore so we want to hard wire it.

My idea is to cut the cig lighter plugin thing off of its power cable and then run the power end to a fuse with constant power (like the DRLs or something) via an add-a-fuse and then screw the ground to some metal next to the fuse box. The box of course is in cabin.

Is that possible? Is it the right idea? Does anyone know how to do it who may be wiling to help out for a beer or something?

^Wiper (although the RDX is only a 7.5amp) or radio fuse works, or the big green wire in the dome light housing.
