    In addition to your points, Ipretty strongly agree with the various ideas that all of the bans, gun free zones, and other firearm villification just serves to glorify them to those that would do the rest of us harm. Its a terrible feedback loop that especially seems to impact the rare but terrifying mass killings we've seen over the years.

    I'm being a little nitpicky, but there are issues even in the single action section since the say,

    One big downside is that unlike more modern revolvers, the cylinder that holds all the ammo is fixed so you can’t just swing it out and eject all the cartridges at once. You have to eject one by one…and then load one by one.

    Top breaks like the Schofield eject everything all at once and many are single action. The swing out cyclinder isn't inherently part of it being double action, but is uncommon to find only one of the two features in a gun. The Colt 1877 was double action and used a typical single ejector rod.

    Have you seen the reduced recoil shells like the Winchester AA and RST? That may help with the manual actions if they also fit well.

    Those are probably Eastern Gray Squirrels not Western. The Easterns are causing the same problem for the Westerns. Eastern Grays were introduced all over for whatever reason.

    The hot and dry is a considerable contributor to the habitat loss though, from fires and disease. While tree species better adapted to those conditions may eventually come in, that is still habitat loss for a time to the squirrels.

    If you drive the car onto public roads you would then be breaking the law and most likely you would have trouble applying for plates for the car. Traffic enforcement here isn't exactly on top of anything. If you wanted the car delivered to your home or any private property it would be perfectly legal. Based on the number of unplated vehicles and frequency of uninsured motorist incidents here, I'd be a bit shocked if any enforcement occurred.

    I use a thermos stainless king branded one that I really like because you can fully dissassemble the lid for cleaning and it does not leak when closed. I needed it for commuting in an older car that only has relatively narrow cupholders. The downside as a travel mug is you do have to manually close the lid.

    bandsaw buying advice

    I'm looking at my options for 14" bandsaws but notice the 17" grizzly 40th anniversary edition seems like its worth considering. Aside from the obvious size increase how does it compare to the usual 14" saws? Is something like the Laguna 14|12 or Rikon 10-324TG 14" saws have any advantages?

    If the amp is a TS input, it is unbalanced and needs a XLR to TS cable. It does matter going from balanced to unbalanced signal. Double check me on that though with. Multimeter or pinout diagram or something.

    Not seeing a lot of specs for those products on line but I suspect you may need the preamp, which is not the same as the transformer. Are you certain the mic in is a TRS jack? It seems like the kind of product that may only have a don't see any specifics about the mic preamp on the Aroma amp, which makes me suspicious. How did you hook the zoom recorder to the amp input? Was it a line out? If so and that configuration worked, I'd say that further points toward the preamp.

    I might need a Mic Impedance Transformer to get 'power'/volume to the dynamic mic.

    Just erase that detail, its wrong one way pr another and windmills do not work that way.

    Oregon is a lovely place to visit, but it is a mess to live in. After the tourists have left, it rains like crazy here. Mosquitoes are big as Sherman tanks. The people are unfriendly... and most of us are starving... Our freeways are jammed tighter than scorched rice pudding. Our smog is awful... some days you can't see from Molalla to Silverton. Fuel bills are so high most people just build igloos in the back yard and spend the winter there... There are no fish in the streams... and nobody has seen a rose around here for years. Actually what happens in the summer when tourists come is that we paint our hills green, put up false silhouettes for mountains, borrow a few lakes from Washington and California, and hire some actors to look cheerful. So... spread the word. Oregon is a great place to visit, but no place to call home.[
