    Charity

    my wife and I give 10-12% of our income to charity every year (I am a senior exec at a fortune 500) plus donating clothes, as well as adopting a family in need.

    Pistol caliber question

    I have a number of handguns, but the answer to your question is what you will use it for. A .357 is a nice choice for just defending the home. If you want to get a CCW, look at a 9mm, like a glock or a cz75.

    I would give them all airfare home. . . . compliments of the Crown. Oh wait, that's right, they left a war zone. How about a life vest and the raft you came in on, all patched up and polished. Here ya go. Buh-bye

    UOA - Castrol Synblend 10w30 (7,343 miles)

    Originally Posted By: AirgunSavant Nice Report I looked into this oil today and it seems priced the same as most synthetics here. What kind of price do you get it for in MO. $1/qt back in December. Bought all I could find (26 qts) - all AZ had was 10w30

    UOA - Castrol Synblend 10w30 (7,343 miles)

    DIRK: From what we can see, this Castrol blend did just as good a job as the previous Pennzoil platinum.
