I didn't think that the human body's muscles had the ability to hold a head erect with such dense matter between the ears and above the jaw.

I still have my Technics SL-1500 Turntable, Stanton 881S Cartridge, Sure V15 MK IV Cartridge, and a few Grado Cartridges, although I prefer the Grace Ruby F-9 cartridge the most. 1.5 grams tracking force.

Thanks for that info. I knew GPS was military developed, but nice to see the vehicle test beds.
I recall that during Desert Storm 1 the satellites were providing gps locations within 5 meters to the troops, and in reality to everyone else until they changed the transmitting settings.

I purchased a "refurbished" HP8015 printer to replace my trusty HP8630 when it died and couldn't be repaired. Serves me well, and I print about 50 pages per day on that one.
Sometimes the refurbished/renewed are better than the NIB.

Again - all a matter of perspective - and what you wanna see or do.

So true, but the last time I had gone fishing in the ocean, I was "praying to Roark" for 5 hours. Not a fun time. I do love to sail, though.

Depends on your perspective AND how fast you wanna get there Difficult to pilot a boat over the land, but a private plane, however can go over the land.
Sailboat ~7 kts, Mooney ~175 kts.

I have a Garmin GPS that I used from 2003 to 2010, and it still works.
All my cars have built in GPS, and the better ones don't take me too far from my known route.
My plane has a Garmin 530W that is used all the time. The biggest problem is the yearly cost.

I looked up the story. Here's your answer: Colorado state prohibits some individuals from carrying weapons into the state's Capitol, but law enforcement said in the press release Thursday that "Individuals with Capitol credentials and access are permitted to carry a firearm inside the secure areas in compliance with Colorado gun laws."
Maybe there should be a sign: "Secure all firearms when dropping trou!!"

There was an article in one of the gun magazines explaining what to do when you need to use the commode when using a waistband type of holster. The obvious is not so obvious when you loosen up to drop your drawers. You cannot allow the handgun to be placed on the floor and it isn't too "smart" to keep it in your lap. Some waistband holsters can be removed and placed on the hook in the stall for easy access to place on the waist prior to leaving.
