Second Amendment Defender

I have an XP pro x64 with all updates built as a VM inside of vmware server.

The host machine is Server 2003 with all updates

Network is Bridge

XP box can receive email, surf the internet (using it to post this message)

However it can not send email.

Most of the time there is no error message, it just says it sent the email but it does not send it.

Other time I get an error message

Task 'SMTP Account - Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

All settings are correct.

This is a new build so it has never worked.

Any suggestions on where to kick to get this working

Well, I missed the PM (remove and lock-tite) on the AC clutch hub and the bolt that holds the AC Clutch hub backed out and fell off, the clutch hub is still on the truck but is loose now.

This is for the bolt in the center of the face of the clutch hub.

What size bolt is it?

---> eg 1/4 inch x 1.5 inch or metric size

Is it right hand or left hand thread?

Do I need a grade 2, 5, or 8 or if metric an 8.8, 10.9, or 12.9?

Do I need a lock washer or a flat washer?

Do you recommend red or blue lock-tite?

I have a Cub Cadet mower, it has the SV590-0003 Kohler engine

I need to replace the engine and am looking at the Kohler SV590-0219

Can anybody tell me the difference between the two?

In the 2004 chrysler T&C with 3.8L R 201 engine...

Hard shift/lurch from first to second gear.

TCS was replaced in 2008, there is a little bit of road grime around the face plate of the TCS but none around the rest of the unit.

Oil is full and nice and bright.

I can place the tranny in L and run it up to 25, remove foot from gas, upshift to D and I don't feel the lurch.

Any ideas as to the cause of the hard shift?

I have a 89 F-350 with the 7.3 IDI, dual battery banks (4 batteries total) (650 CCA each).

Batteries are 3 months old.

Dual 210 Ampere alternators.

I have the batteries connected to a trickle charger/conditioner 24/7 when the truck is not in use.

The truck gets started about once every 3 weeks when its needed.

The problem I am having is the batteries will not hold a charge for more than 48 hours.

It does not matter if I have the charger on it or not.

Electrical extras that are in the truck;

Wire harness for gooseneck trailer - no voltage found with volt meter

Electric brake controller - no voltage found with volt meter

Factory Alarm system - not turned on

5,000 watt Inverter (DC/AC) on a #4 lead with a battery switch in the off position. (no voltage at the inverter)

Any Idea's what could be causing the drain?

I had new cables, string, and peep sight put on my bow.

I am shooting 2 foot high and 1 foot right at 40 yards.

The high right is a tight enough group to defletch the shafts.

No matter where I put the sight pins my placement never changes.

Any suggestions on how I can get the group to start shifting down and left?

I would like to take my girl friend and her 5 year old son on a cruise.

He does not have a passport.

I know the custodial ex will not authorize the issuance of a passport.

He will not even authorize travel out of the State and had an absolute cow when we went 4 counties away on a weekend trip.

There is no stipulation in their decree that prevents out of state or international travel.

What are the odds of getting a family court judge to issue an order to compel the custodial parent to sign the authorization forms along with the necessary papers to allow him to go on the cruise?

I will be paying the passport fees and the passport will wind up going to the custodial ex.

Would a judge issue the order? Can a judge issue that kind of order?

Would it need to be filed in family court where the decree was finalized or where she currently lives (next county over)?

A friends kid plugged in their RV (30 amp 110 volt) into a 60 amp 220 volt service.

This has caused all kind of issues as you can imagine.

Here is what we have found so far

Non of the GFCI's are working

1/3 of the 110 outlets are dead

The power inverter (110 to 12 volt) is cooked

The AC will not power up

I removed the Inverter from the coach and isolated the 12 volt from the rest of the system so we could test the 110 power.

I removed the battery from the coach presuming it too a direct hit of 220.

Other than the GFCI's not working the biggie is the AC.

Does the AC have any type of component that could be cooked by a 220 hit?

Ok, Got two rifle kits in that I ordered in January.

Started to assemble them over the weekend and found the following.

1 - The take down pin (not the hinge pin) does not align with the lower

It appears to be about 1mm to high.

2 - When either upper was placed on a lower and the take down pin was pressed (lots of pressure required to set) The upper was placed in a bind. This binding caused the bolt to not function.

I tried this on 3 different in service functional lowers,

a DPMS, Rock River Arms, and a Superior.

Any sugestions prior to RMA and a who knows how long a wait?

I am looking at have some custom work done on a shotgun.

I am looking at having the barrel back bored

Having the forcing cone lengthened

Getting a ported choke.

The entire process should reduce the felt recoil by at least 30-40% combine that with a weighted stock and balance job should reduce the total felt recoil by 50%

They are quoting $165

Any opinions of the company or process, or suggestions?

What are the ramifications of doing a DFP delete on a 08 or 09 Dodge?

Looking at a 3500 Quadcab 4x4 Dually with the 6.7 in it.

I presume it voids the warranty on the engine

does it also void the 3yr 36,000 warranty

Will it still be street legal in Texas?

What other pro's and cons are there

I broke ground yesterday on 1/3 acre for a garden, Next weekend I will be plowing in the fertilizer.

In a 1/3 acre plot would 16 yards of fertilizer be too much to add to virgin ground?

Fertilizer is horse stall fertilizer that has been in mound for a couple of years and is not "hot".

Also considering adding 10 yards of sand to the mix.

Will be plowed in and not tilled in, as I do not have a tiller just plows and discus for the tractor.

Also, should I flood irrigate or use a sprinkler to water the garden?

Water volume is not an issue as I draw from a irrigation canal.

Before you answer, I want you to read the following

Search for HR 45

make sure you select bill number

The proposed bill is by one of Obama's friends from Illinois Bobby Rush

Here is an excerpt from the Bill

Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:

`(aa) Firearm Licensing Requirement-

`(1) IN GENERAL- It shall be unlawful for any person other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to possess a qualifying firearm on or after the applicable date, unless that person has been issued a firearm license

I know little to nothing about the AR-15 and was given a new lower for Christmas ;) now, what is the difference between the DPMS lower I was given and a stripped one?

I figure I would buy a few spares as it where

Does anybody have a lead on 30 carbine for less than 325 per 1,000 rounds?

Wolf is ok so is brown bear

Also looking for a 768 can of 303 Brit

I have a;

INTEL BOXDP35DPM Intel P35 Core 2 Quad Socket 775 1333MHz PC2-6400 (DDR2-800) ATX Motherboard

With a;

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad-Core Processor 2.4GHz, 1066FSB, LGA775, 8MB cache

With 2 Gig of DDR2-800 RAM

The 2 drives are;

SEAGATE ST3500320NS 500GB SATA

Here is the issue...

I do not remember how I set up the raid originally.

I think I set it up as a mirror but I also may have...

Drive 0 Partition 0 mirrored to Drive 1 Partition 0

Drive 0 Partition 1 mirrored to Drive 1 Partition 1

The motherboard, CPU and RAM are toast (thanks to a failed fan in a Corsair CWCN500 Nautilus 500 Water Cooling Kit)

I am replacing the motherboard and CPU with same make and model as what was damaged.

I am upgrading the RAM to the Corsair Dominator 4 Gig (2x2048) from the Corsair Dominator 2 Gig (2x1024)

How can I replace the motherboard, CPU and RAM, Configure the RAID on the main board and not touch the data don the drives?

The data is critical data as the only backup prior the failure was damaged in a hurricane (offsite backup building was destroyed)

NOTE:

The primary OS is Windows server 2003 standard with VMWare running 3 more instances of Windows 2003 server standard and one instance of Umbuntu server

I have a 300 foot deep water well on my property. I would like to drill another well to 300ft and set it up on DC to a cistern.

The initial lift would be 300 foot from the shaft and then another 15 foot to the top of the cistern.

Does anybody know where to purchase one?

Any brands to stay away from?

24 volt

48 volt

or higher

This will be run from a solar array

First of all, I know very little about bow hunting.

My 10yr daughter told me she wants to try it.

So I bought her a cheap bow ($50.00) and some target arrows.

Right out the gate she is hitting in pie plate area in the target at 50 foot.

My question is, now what.

How do I continue to keep her interested?

Should I consider a stronger bow?

She has a 30# pull and has no problem with it.

In the Houston area, are there any location/clubs that I could take her so she can get proper training.

Ok, I know the basic differences, don't own any of them. I'm a 1911 CC.

I know I can not tell the difference without looking at the head stamp.

I know a 9x19 will not fit in a 9x17 mag, what would happen if a 9x17 was chambered and fired in a 9x19.

My whole family has 9x19's in various frames, except my girl friend did not like it and went with a 9x17 and I am concerned with cross loading and having a 9x17 chambered into a 9x19.

What about the 9x18 cross loading either way.

Would you stand up and demand that he keep his "word" on supporting the 2nd Amendment?

Would you expect him to change his stand and continue his plan to ban all firearms from civilian use even if he has to do it through a UN treaty?

If he starts pushing for the destruction of the 2nd Amendment will you bury your guns to keep his administration from getting them or will you raise hell and push for criminal prosecution for violating the Constitution in his failing to defend it?
