To haul a real boat you need a real truck
Here's what EDMUNDS SAYS ABOUT ONE OF THE IMPOSTERS
Criticisms include the Ridgeline's aversion to off-road adventures, where its lack of a low-range gear and a tendency to bottom out don't help when tackling more rugged trails. Fuel economy for a V6-powered pickup is also disappointing. If these shortcomings are meaningful to you, then you'll want to consider a pickup with true truck DNA. But if all you really need is the passenger space of an SUV and the utility of a pickup truck, the Ridgeline is an excellent choice. -- "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them". Thomas Jefferson |

But if all you really need is the passenger space of an SUV and the utility of a pickup truck, the Ridgeline is an excellent choice. We took a Kia Sorento on some off road adventures in Montana. I can't say it was suited to the task but we made it back. I did buy the insurance and it wasn't my car so we just went with it. There was a lot of scraping and banging. Is FlaJim planning to take his self-propelled tin motel room offroad on some rugged trails? No but it does afford me a closer up view of America than you get while on your fabled American flyovers.

Thomas Jefferson Speaking of RVs, I had my antenna replaced with a Windgard Sensar IV that folks down on the roof. Hopefully I won't rip it off. Gets good reception too. Going back down to Solomons Navy Rec Center with the kids and grandkids next week. Have to go through Huntingtown, but we keep the windows up. |

Other than to take pictures of his Maryland red barn, I can think of no reason to grace Harry's driveway with an Open Range 5th wheel RV. Oh wait, it's not Harry's barn after all. Maybe he'd let me take pictures of his owls down by the creek. Oh wait, those weren't his owls after all. Not even his pictures. Getting continuously caught in lies must be a bitch, eh Don?

What are you whining about Johnny?
I compared you to well known movie star, Randy Quaid. I'd think y'all would be grateful. |

I wear surgical gloves when I do this. Purple. I do sell guns I tire of and I use the proceeds to buy new guns. At the moment, the only handgun I actually use is a Ruger GP 100, and the only rifle I have is the new lever gun, which I've only fired a few times, both in the same zombie-killer caliber. -- Republicans . . . the anti-immigrant, anti-contraception, anti-student, anti-middle class, pro-impeachment party that shut down the government last year for no reason. |

Reminds me of that Chevy Chase movie where the redneck brother in law pulls up and parks on the street in front of the house. Herring wouldn't like our street. We have some folks in the neighborhood with dark skin. That why you keep all those large caliber firearms? I don't shoot any "large caliber" firearms. The ones I do shoot are for inanimate targets and right-wing zombies, of course. 357 magnum and 45 are not target rounds unless your target has flesh and blood. They can be target rounds. And 357 mag is definitely a large caliber round! .45 is bigger than a 44 magnum in diameter. Not as powerful, but definitely a large caliber. .357 rounds are about the same diameter as 9mm rounds. 9mm is available with 147 grain and larger bullets. I shoot 125 grain and 158 grain .357. It's not a large caliber round. I don't shoot .45 caliber. Oh, and for FlaJim, who is about as ignorant of handguns and ammo as he is of everything else, here's a vid of a fella shooting .357 Mags in competition target shooting: http://tinyurl.com/lyuxe6a And another: http://tinyurl.com/ofg4qwt He is not shooting .357 magnum rounds. He is shooting very light loads. Probably light for even .38 special. Little kick in the Ruger. Gee, Bilious, just what *is* a .357 mag round, in your typically uninformed opinion? I didn't see a "crawl" along the bottom of the vid indicating what powder and how much was being used, along with the bullet weight. I shoot standard, manufactured .357 Mag target loads, with 158 grain bullets. They *are* .357 magnum rounds. There's very little recoil or muzzle flip with my revolver. I do have some special self-defense rounds with a lighter grain bullet, but I don't use them for target shooting. This is yet another of those subjects about which you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. Krause fancies himself as a small arms expert. Doubt his book learnin makes him a good shooter though.

That is typically not paper target shooting, it is steel "knock down/spin around" targets and it is usually a "combat course" (or hunting type shooting with rifles), simulating shooting some kind of flesh. Most (pistol) paper target shooting is done with low powered center fire ammo or the trusty old .22rf. I shoot paper targets, steel targets, 2 liter soda pop bottles, et cetera, with my revolver. I had no idea you and w'hine were the arbiters of what is and is not target shooting. Targets are targets. Oh, wait...*you* think combat course shooting at targets is not target shooting. That's a giggle. None of those targets require a 357 or 45 round to produce a noise, movement or damage. BTW, In the military it's called target practice. Happy practice killing to you Mr. WAFA. -- "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them".

On the other hand, a 357 magnum, unless downloaded to low velocity 38s, is a very unpleasant to shoot (except Harry's of course). |
