Always knew your were "Special"

Neither do I and I don't carry other than up Nth where everybody carries. Just don't want to loss the right to own firearms.

Hey I made a post by name Are you trying to get me "Triggered" Steven 🤣

In one of Tony's press conference announcing Berry he made the statement that they are reaching out to their current inhouse sponsors and possible outside sponsors for Berry's car. They didn't want to have Haas Automation for the majority of the races. Either way the car will be on the track.

Noticed when Ross won he was talking about drinking beer in victory lane and noticed everybody was drinking Busch Lite during the celebration. Hope SHR has something lined up for Berry.

It's a balance. A track that is to tight will loose top end. A track that is to loose to where you loose top end will also ratchet on acceleration and braking. Find the point where the track ratchets and tighten it up alittle from there.

Friend sent me this from over by his place. The vent pipe is 24" tall for size comparison.

Maybe buying pistols? Don't know and don't care.

I do have to thank you for your failed attempt yesterday with your temporary sig. It did make me laugh.

If it's just the little details just retire and work them out. I was going to retire 2 years before I actually retired but had an opportunity we didn't want to pass up to buy 100 acres next to us up Nth in the Nicolet national forest. Worked an additional 2 years and haven't looked back since. Got asked to come back as a consultant on projects 4 times now and thanks but no thanks. Stay busy with my own projects, help out my buddy who's an Electrician contractor sometimes and part time for Sunoco. Riding last year put on over 4000 miles and only ride one Saturday. Retire!

🤣 Is Triggered your new go to word this week. Any hints on next week?

Security is only as good as the Hall monitor's

Untraceable 3D-printed 'ghost guns' on the rise in Canada CBC found that more than 100 3D-printed firearms were seized by police in 2022 Ellen Mauro, Melissa Mancini · CBC News · Posted: Jan 10, 2023 3:00 AM CST | Last Updated: January 10 This 3D-printed gun was recovered by Regina police in February 2022. (Regina Police Service) 1006 comments Police in Canada seized more than 100 3D-printed guns last year, with some jurisdictions seeing big increases in this type of weapon and even busting manufacturing rings for the first time. In Calgary, for example, police seized 17 3D-printed guns in 2022, compared to just one each in 2021 and 2020. "I wasn't a big proponent of putting a lot of resources into 3D-printed guns here in Calgary when we first started [the unit], because we just didn't see them," said Ben Lawson, acting staff sergeant of the Calgary Police Service Firearms Investigative Unit. "All of a sudden now, we're seeing this uptick in 2022, so who knows what 2023 is going to bring." 3D-printed guns fall into a category of homemade firearms referred to as "ghost guns," in part because they are untraceable. They have no serial number, because the printed part of the gun is the receiver, the part of the weapon that is regulated in Canada. The other parts of the gun can be purchased at gun stores and online without a firearms licence. Plans for producing these firearms are easily available online, and the item can be made using a consumer-grade 3D printer.

(Ellen Mauro/CBC) To get a sense of the scope of the problem, CBC News reached out to 20 police forces across the country and collected data from media reports in areas where police wouldn't discuss the number of firearms seized. These guns have been found across the country, from cities such as Saskatoon and Winnipeg, to smaller places such as Stratford, Ont., and Vulcan, Alta. "When I look at our statistics, it looks like … there's a flood of 3D guns entering into the city to make up for the gun shortage that we have in the city right now," said Insp. Elton Hall, of the Winnipeg Police Service, at a news conference in July, after his force seized three 3D-printed receivers. "I knew this was going to happen," he said of these guns making their way into Winnipeg, despite efforts he detailed in the news conference to combat gun violence in the city. "It was only a matter of time." 3D-printed guns found across country In December, Winnipeg police announced they had made arrests after a "criminal network solicited and paid legitimate 3D printer services to manufacture" firearm receivers. The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary announced the bust of a manufacturer in February. Eight 3D-printed firearm frames were seized, along with multiple printers and other items, including silencers, which police said were also 3D-printed. In Saskatoon, police seized two 3D printers and "a number of gun parts" in January — a first for police there. In all, seven forces told CBC News they saw an increase in the number of 3D-printed guns from previous years. But the data provided to the CBC was incomplete. Of those seven forces, only five had specific numbers, which totalled 46 3D-printed guns seized in 2022, compared to only four in the previous years. Calgary police have seized 17 3D-printed firearms this year. Previously, they had seized only one. (Calgary Police Service) "Anyone can go online, they can purchase a computer, a laptop.… They can buy [a 3D printer] for $300 and now they're printing firearms," said acting Staff Sgt. Lawson, with the Calgary police. He said that across the country, an untraceable gun can sell for between $2,500 and $7,500, depending on the city. The Ontario Provincial Police seized 18 such weapons in 2022, after having found only one before. The Toronto-area police forces CBC News reached out to had seen very few 3D-printed guns. Peel Region, for example, seized only one last year and hadn't tracked numbers before that. York Regional Police have seized a single 3D-printed firearm. It was a "fully functioning firearm" and was used in a carjacking robbery, according to a statement from the police organization. WATCH | Homemade ghost guns have no serial numbers: Untraceable ghost guns a growing threat in Canada 6 months ago Duration9:58 A CBC News analysis uncovers a rising number of untraceable, 3D-printed ghost guns turning up in Canadian cities. Reporter Ellen Mauro sets out to uncover what the threat looks like and asks why more isn’t being done to keep them off the streets. Even so, there are concerns in Canada's biggest city about other types of untraceable ghost guns. "While we haven't seen a rise in 3D guns in particular in Toronto, TPS is increasingly seizing guns that are privately manufactured without serial numbers," the statement said. "These can include 3D-printed firearms, converted pellet-style guns and other homemade firearms."

On a side note since we couldn't have a full race. If you look at the Penske cars they look like they have different rims. What it is is they have the same rims as all the other teams but they have the spoke section polished.

Have to give credit for @ckffor keeping this rolling. Traffic will pick up during the season which is good 👍 Watch it Bontz. I'm sure your on HSR's "Badger" watch list. Maybe HSR should just leave this in private for Badger and ckf to work it out. Hopefully they can.

Wish it would have went the full length. Would have been a good finish. This is better than the lighting strike delays. Have a lighting strike and 30 minute delay then another lighting strike 25 minutes after and another 30 minutes.

Didn't notice here but at Chicago they had all 3 manufacturers as pace cars during cautions and would rotate them for each caution. The weather doesn't look good so it looks like it's over.

That must be a selfy

Pulling for Keselowski. He's paid his dues.

Richard filled it out a little more than Kevin did but he's entitled to do that. Lot of changes to the cars and tracks since Dale Sr got killed. It would be interesting what Dale's team and sport in general would look if he wouldn't have gotten killed.

Richard Childress is going to pace the field in the #29 Goodwrench car from 2001 that Harvick won in. Neat deal.

I'm scheduled for Kansas and little Hilter is supposed to be there. My direct boss is great to work for so I won't leave him hanging. Heard from some of the guys that are at Atlanta and he's making friends there also. I've worked some joint races with him before and he's always had somewhat of an attitude. Since he got promoted it's really gone to his head. Those guys normally don't last long. We'll see. Got the Xfinity Race at Elkhart Lake in a couple weeks and there's a nice 1/3 dirt track that always has a special sprint car race then. There's probably 5 from our crew that will go and more from the Goodyear crew.
