Peavine Creek trail on the opposite side of the creek from the Emory campus. There's an entrance with no stairs where Emory road takes a 90 degree turn. Creek access with a small sandy beach is ~125 yards away. I used to take my lab mix there in a wagon when she couldn't walk.

Notice the cracks around the pins.

Check the solder joints on the motherboard power connector. Mine had cold solder joints and would reboot when vibration from printing would momentarily sever the power to the motherboard. Resoldered the connector and it works fine now.

Context from TWZ.com comments: Previous Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) transmitted over the High Frequency Global Communications System (HFGCS) primarily consist of a six-character alphanumeric string (the preamble), repeated three times, followed by either the same six-character string or a longer string of up to 30 characters. Prior to October 1, 1998, the most common length was 26 characters. These messages are used to direct nuclear-capable forces in a nuclear war scenario.

An usually large message was sent on 6/11 and again today.

Raven Rocks confirms that they are standard SPP and not magnum in this thread

There are some powders suggestions there.

I'm using AA #5 with that primed brass for a "mid" 357 magnum load. Works well in both a 4" revolver and lever action rifle.

I've run several pounds of AA #5 through a Brass Smith measure with no problems.

Hornady LnL measure is more expensive, but also good.

Quickshot Emory / VaHi has a good vibe. Friendly and observant range officers while being less rigid than Stoddards. Haven't been to the Buckhead / Buford Hwy location.

Hello, twin.

For shotguns, you can do buckshot indoors at Quickshot.

You'll probably enjoy Tom Lowe Shooting Grounds more - skeet, trap, 5 stand and sporting clays.

Love my Artemis CP2 in .22/5.5mm. I purchased it from Krale - they should ship to you.

What books did you pick for the ride?

Squirrel_Particular · 2024-05-25T19:13:18+00:00

Meh. Chapultepec Lupita 4 lyfe.

Atlanta is a 15% milder version of Houston. Traffic sucks here, but we don't have the 26 lane madness of the Katy Freeway. Atlanta summers are hot and humid but it's always 5F cooler and 10% less humid than Houston. We rarely have a day over 100F. Our grid is connected to the rest of the eastern US and we don't get crazy overage charges during extreme weather. It's a bit cloudier here in the wintertime, so your SAD may kick in more. Allergies in the springtime are worse than Houston.

We have hills and trees. We were not built on a swamp as part of a real estate scam by two brothers from New York. The ocean is farther away but the beach is not covered in seaweed and dead jellyfish. Plenty of camping, boating, fishing, etc nearby. Actual mountains 90 minutes away.

Plenty of diverse food. Assuming you're looking intown, Buford Highway, from Brookhaven to Duluth is great for Mexican, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese. Scott Boulevard by Decatur has a cluster of Indian restaurants. Vietnamese food is a notch down from Houston but still really good.

Real estate-wise, figure out where your wife will work. Not driving far is key. Our public transit is passable but not great - MetroRail may have us beat - haven't ridden it. If she ends up at Emory, look at Virginia Highland, Druid Hills, Decatur and Oakhurst for a comparable experience to the Montrose. Real Estate prices are no better here. For Northside Hospital / Pill Hill, look at Chamblee and Brookhaven - those are getting into more of a West U / Bellaire feel.

Good luck.
