    Register you guns for local school

    The statement "what is a gun" is for them to ponder. Yes I do know what a gun is. To me gun control is using both hands and knowing what your target is.

    The tower project is on hold, and antennas are coming down.....SANDY IS COMING!

    Need to splice outside coax
