Found an article where a drone crashed on the white house lawn and the Secret Service is testing various anti-drone options. One drone manufacture has GPS no-fly zones embedded in the drones controller based on restricted air space.

The news had a story the other night about how the fire fighting aircraft had to land because several drones were in the area and up at the altitudes they were flying.

The issue I have with the NFA tax is they now have a lot of info on me. There are some things out there that would be worth it if I could afford it. Destructive device is another tax isn't it? Anything over .50" if I remember that correctly?

The only thing you telling 'them' that they didn't know before is that you want to possess a single weapon.
Yup, anything that fires a projectile over .5xxx is a destructive device. $200 stamp if you build it yourself, $5 if you buy a prebuilt one.

And prints as well. Not that I worry too much really. There are a few non-NFA toys I would like before going there as well.

There are some old WWII Swiss or Swedish 20mm cannons that would be interesting but I don't know if the Vulcan practice rounds would be the same size to reload or if the originals are hard to find. I wouldn't have anywhere to shoot it in any case.

They have a 4 gauge shotgun show up here now and then. You could do your own shot for those.

The feds have my prints anyway, but if you set up a trust, you don't have to submit prints or get a sheriff to sign off

flipper35 07-30-2015 12:56 PM

I had heard about a trust. Sounds like the way to go if we ever go there. Jacob would break the bank. Like most boys, if he won the lotto I think they would have a hard time keeping up between cars, planes, and spoons. He wants to know why if sissy can shoot a shotgun, why can't he? Because she is 13 and you are 5 and I don't have a 410.

If I ever won the lotto (I'd probably have to start playing the lotto first, huh?)
There would be a few fully automatic spoons in my future.

Evening Y'all
I really want a 37mm Havok for the belly of my AR. No paperwork and they make some fairly "nice" flairs.
Well Mother nature just pissed on my evening hike through the woods, treadmill here I come

RKDinOKC 07-30-2015 02:40 PM

Woo hoo, mechanic says GTS is "on the lift" and removal of parts has begun.

Porsche-poor 07-30-2015 02:44 PM

wow what a day. power surge at work killed the server and half the phones in the office. been all day fixing things. Boss should have told everyone to go home but no.

Stijn!!
 
Years ago when I worked at a photo lab I came in first as usual. I made the coffee and I noticed a huge bubbling flow of water in the street out in front of the building in the street. A city employee walked in minutes later and told me they were going to have shut off the water to the area to fix a water main leak. I shut down all the processors and sat down in the kitchen as the other employees came in. We were all sitting drinking coffee when the boss came in and looked at his entire staff in drinking coffee instead of working. I told him we had no water. He thought for a second and said ok, if we can't work we can all clean the building. I asked him "with what" and he just gave up and said send everyone home. No one argued that point.

Assume you've heard about this car Richard?

1994 Porsche 928 gts

porsche4life 07-30-2015 10:08 PM

And... If I win the lotto...


2007 Guards Red Porsche 911 GT3

RKDinOKC 07-30-2015 10:29 PM

Hadn't seen it. Same miles as mine. Several have sold for money like that recently. That's why I was told my $80K was not that crazy any more and I should raise my pry it from my hands price to $100K. Midnite Blue GTS with 20K miles is listed for $125K. It was sold 2 years ago for $90K. Would not be interested just because it is black on black. Some people really like black cars, but quickly getting to 120 just don't impress me if it's the temps inside the car parked in the sun.

porsche4life 07-30-2015 10:33 PM

Same price for the GT3... I'd sell the GTS and get the GT3 if was you. ;)

RKDinOKC 07-30-2015 10:39 PM

Well, since i've lost the ability to heel and toe downshift am more interested in a GT highway cruiser nowadays. GTS does do the cruising thing very very well. GT3 not so much. At least until I can afford something with PDK, that's 2013 or newer GT3, $140K.

And I still think black wheels looks like you lost your hub caps.

porsche4life 07-30-2015 11:28 PM

I usually don't like black wheels. But it looks pretty bad ass on that car. Just needs the windows tinted....

RKDinOKC 07-30-2015 11:40 PM

Windows tinted, and all the lights tinted black too. Oh and paint the whole thing black for total blackout then it would look really bad ass.

For around $88K you could get a brand new Boxster GTS, or Spyder, or even a Cayman GT4.

RKDinOKC 07-31-2015 03:38 AM

Welp, Pepper woke me up licking my face, kind of startling, must be morning it's light out now. As soon as she saw I was awake she said "I want out." She wanted outside to do her stuff. "Do your stuff" being the command to pee.

Thinking frying up some bacon will be a good start for the day.

Jim Richards 07-31-2015 04:36 AM

My eyes popped open at ~ 4AM. WTF? Oh well...at least it's Friday! :)
