    Damn! Sounded like a bomb just went off. Whatever it was knocked power out
    When I lived in Toledo, the transformer about 50 feet away from my apartment's kitchen window blew with a huge flash and boom and the lights went out. We went outside to investigate and found a singed and deceased squirrel at the base of the pole.

    That's what caused the last 2 blown transformers here as well. Both resulted in fires that required the FD. That's why I'm so shocked that I didn't see anything. The pole they flipped the switch on is roughly 100 ft or so away

    Squirrels gotta go. It's not enough that they knock out the power, they also steal tomatoes from my garden.

    Squirrels gotta go
    Had two dead ones after the power problems here recently. One in my yard and one next door under the pole.

    Years ago when we had a Vizla we had a lot of dead squirrels. Charlie ran all the small critters off, frequently bringing the dead ones to the back door. This is not our dog, but he looked like this one.

    Why did you build an Ark and load it with raccoons?
    U cant afford to build an ark right now due to lumber prices. :p

    Just cause if it rains every day all of you will be miserable and jedis heart will grow 3x its size knowing ya have no summer heat just liquid snow.

    What would be a fair market sell fast but make top dollar value on a plain jane glock 19 gen 3?

    Trading for a g19 and if Im not happy the 2nd tine around might consider trading again see where it goes or sell.


    Need a new car gun for when driving into IL. Currently using an H&R topbreak 32s&w I paid $50 a few years ago, but its too nice for its age to have to sit in a locker if I were ever need to use it especially in Riverdale.

    Was thinking of keeping the LCR but might want to find a cheaper beater model 10, or a used sd40ve.
    Depending, usually 2 to 300. They are usually closer to 2 because new they are only 5 to 600. Are you looking to buy or sell, because I'm looking for a plain Jane G19 gen 3, if I can find one. Or even a gen 4.

    here's some links:



    I've seen that Glocks usually do not drop below $100 off new value. It seems that there are always folks who have a favorite generation, so even the older ones hold value.

    I had a 19 a few years back which is why I bought the pc carbine. Ended up trading for a 3rd gen smith to add to my collection. Picked up a SR9 last year to complete the rifle pistol match.

    Trading a different firearm I hardly shoot and may end up keeping as a car gun for my daily trips to IL for work. Though I could probably go for an older model 10 as if the need were to ever arise. Don't want to fish spent brass from the car.
