Not just jumped the tracks. The train wanted to get onto a flight at O'hare. It jumped off the track, onto the airport terminal and up the escalators as well. Think of the scene from Die Hard and that is what the pictures look like. 30+ hurt but no deaths. Inital report says the train was coming in too fast at 2:30AM.

Also the red line has an accident this moring as well. But not sure what the issue is.




The idea was to keep an extra jack in the car/minivan should I ever have to change the tire again. Both cars have the std. scissor jacks that they came with. I recenlty bought better hardware for each vehicle.
Lug wrench - X type
Lug wrench - std (better than the small thing that came with each vehicle)
Headlamp
Road side triangles
Yellow reflective vest
Orange becon light
flares

I already had in each vehicle
flashlight
spare tire
scissor jack
portable/collasple lug wrench


The bottle jack was/is just a backup to the scissor jack since it's smaller/compact and will fit easily in the vehicles. The ones you talk about are a bit bulk for emo uses. I could see them being used in the garage along with the floor jack but I doubt I ever need them. If I have to use the floor jack then it's time for the car to go to the mechanic. I'm not interested in doing whatever it is that the car thinks it needs done. My time is better spent elsewhere.

Use your scissor jack to lift the vehicle and one of these to support it/ for safety:

You are not listening....
Yes I can use those for safety but those are rather bulky to have in the car for emergencies.

Anyone need some CRT TV's to shoot at, I'm getting ready to throw 3 of them away.

 

[tv1217]

Do you guys seriously use jack stands for a tire change?

If only I had a spot to do this. Exploding CRTs are quite satisfying.

 

[CTC B4Z]

Do you seriously rely on a $0.12 O ring in your harbor freight jack...?

 

[tv1217]

I use the jack that came with the car. If it breaks and damages the rotor or something, they're paying for it.

Let me know if you find a pace to shoot at, these things have been sitting at my parents house for like 7 or 8 years. They gotta leave.

KLB. I think you need to have a better way of changing the posts.

I'm open to suggestions. This will be the first replacement posts for the plywood. If people were more thoughtful and didn't put their targets on top of the posts, it would still be good.

The 2x4 for the torso takes a beating. Then again, they have been shot to hell in the past too. I am going to try to keep them lower so that the target covers the wood this time.

I would, but that would be way too messy. I have no desire to have a bunch of broken glass all over the place.

Can you go over to White lumber (219) 759-2592 off 149 and west on 500 North to see about rough cut oak 4X4's to hold up better in the weather?

They also have a 30" model.

I really doubt they will.
And I'd be more worried about hands and fingers.
But, usually I save jack stands for rotating tires, or where I'm under the car.

I'd just find a electronics recycle place.
I have an old CRT TV I need to get rid of.

Something in the ground to hold the posts. Then you'd just pull it out and put the next one in. Pipe or something.
It would have to go a little over ground level to keep it from filling with dirt.

Those will keep the wood out of the ground away from rot and moisture for a longer life with the wood.

The life of the wood is not dependent upon weather, but rather by how much it gets shot.

Oak 4x4s would probably hold up better than the posts I am currently using, but I already have them.

The Post System might work, but I would worry about it taking hits from bullets and about them breaking from the posts and/or targets taking hits. I had one for my mailbox once and it ended up breaking from the wobble of the mailbox in the wind. I might have to try one for one of the torsos at least.

So I've got some M&P40 15 rd mags I wanna put on GunBroker but I think I cant ship to certain States due to the capacity. How do I obtain which states are legal to sell these to?
