      Sights installed free with purchase in Mishawaka.

      I haven't tried it but am told that a couple turns of electrical friction tape first will help to ensure they stay put. Also had a $120 set of TruGlo TFX sights installed there last night. I left my XDM slide there and ran an errand and they were done in about 25 minutes. JD

      Sizing a generator for the house......

      Here's a link to my cloud showing photos and a user guide of my generator power up instructions. https://app.box.com/s/0prtj2s2zok1ft8il8bf I did this for my wife who doesn't know squat about anything electrical. I plumbed the gas line myself (everything else too) even though I had a quote...

      Waze: crowd-based navigation app

      Works pretty good. Will give audio voice alerts via bluetooth thru my vehicle speakers. Seems to work better than my onstar mapping.

      Did you know Delta Airlines did this?

      As a regular flyer on Delta I've seen this before and it's very moving. I witnessed a similar event a few years ago and brought tears to my eyes. It can certainly put things into perspective.

      Google Chromecast - Educate me please

      The wife and I like the Amazon Fire Stick. It's simple to use and I'm sure it's dependent on decent internet speed. The other reason I like the Fire Stick is I can stream or mirror my Kindle. I especially like to stream media using the Hoopla app. The Hoopla app is a free app supported by my...

      EDC

      Leatherman Supertool on my belt. Leatherman is true to their warranty too. About 5 years ago I returned shipped my 22 yr old Leatherman for warranty because it had a broken screwdriver tip and a broken knife tip (cause I stabbed it into a 2 x 4). To my surprise they sent me a brand new...

      Crock Pot Cook book

      Crock pots make fine baked potatoes too. You can bake some big ones and load em up for a meal. Or, bake em and it will greatly speed up the cook time of fried potatoes.

      Winter Window tinting?

      I've done it in 40 degrees before with good success. If you are going to do it yourself purchase the precut type as they are much easier to work with than trying to fit and cut a roll of tint onto your windows.

      Raspberry Pi Mail Server?

      Read an interesting article today about the Raspberry Pi 2. Raspberry Pi 2 Review: A $35 Computer Can Do a Heck of a Lot - WSJ I've not used one before but have wanted to get one and see what it can do.

      Alien Gear Holsters?

      I have one and don't like it. I bought for a IWB for a Springfield XDm. They are made to wear with a shirt underneath. So when it's warm outside you have to wear a t-shirt underneath. Also I don't like the cut of the holster as it exposes the magazine release and this allows body moisture to...

      Emergency Generator

      I can't recall exactly but I think I ended up purchasing the cord via Amazon as it was cheaper to get a 50 amp cord with the correct connectors vs. purchase and assemble myself. Plus you want stranded wire too.

      Emergency Generator

      Please explain why a separate ground clamp for a 2nd ground wire vs. two wires into one ground clamp. Is that a code violation? Installing a 2nd ground clamp is easy to do too and minimal cost.

      Emergency Generator

      LOL.. No. It's grounded to the ground rod in the ground. Same rod the breaker panel is grounded to.
