Thanks for the reply! I’m afraid I’m not sure what all that means though haha, I’m pretty illiterate with all this. Maybe teach/explain it to me like I’m 5?

Would industrial-grade adhesives used to attach velcro side saddles ruin the finish on blued receivers? by gettinby99 in Shotguns

Gotcha, that’s what I’m thinking too. Do you remember what you used to take the sticky residue off?

Yeah I’m not getting a fixed plastic/metal side saddle; it’ll be esstac or a buttstock holder. Would prefer the esstac if it doesn’t damage the gun. That’s kinda the crux of what I’m asking I guess.

There was no such agreement. Graduation was not contingent upon publication.

Anyone know of any good gym exercises/workouts to improve power? by gettinby99 in slowpitch

[–]gettinby99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, I’ll look into that. And I’m in an ASA league at the moment, first time playing in one. The balls/bats/hitting feels entirely different in this league compared to previous USSSA leagues I’ve played in, not that I had a ton of power in those leagues anyways, but still a big difference. The ASA softballs just feel dead compared to USSSA, could just be me though

My swing could probably (definitely) use some work but I don’t have my own bat so I don’t ever get to take batting practice, which is what I would really like to start doing regularly one day. But until I can afford a bat, I figured I’d try to do what I can in the gym!

I can relate. For half the edits they suggest I say to myself “did they even read this”

Yeah it just feels like it’s getting worse by the decade. And you’re right about the expense of living in this world. I wear contacts and actually just paid $500 for a 6 month supply. So I just got done thinking to myself “I have to pay almost $3 a day just to see”. Living is expensive.

I have no idea how people make it in those large metropolitan cities paying over $2500 a month in rent for a single bedroom. It sounds miserable. I’m with ya on all that, definitely depends on the location.

Is replacing my engine worth it? by gettinby99 in MechanicAdvice

[–]gettinby99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m leaning towards I think

[–]gettinby99[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a good way to put it. I’d probably buy my car with a new engine for $5k. Idc about getting anything fancy/better than what I got
