Not positive but I am beginning to think my ads are starting to threaten me in some way.

Well, OK, last week I got mrs humfrz Saturn a set of new tires, new pads on the rear brakes, new rotors and pads on the front and a 4 wheel alignment.

Yep, it drives just great. As we were driving in her Saturn back from brunch yesterday, I commented on how well it drove with the new parts, just like it did when it was new. She replied, "yes, it drives just like it used to ........ before you started driving it ..... to take the granddaughters to school and back".

So much for declaring that $1,300 her Christmas present .......

A few feet is not a safe distance to use arty sims.

It is when the guy is laying on the ground. And by a "few" I mean about 20.

Trying to think of what the rules were when I finally got to the position of using them. I THINK it was a minimum of 30m away from people, vehicles, buildings, etc.

But, it's been a long time, and 30m is a loooooooooooooong way.

LOL 30 meters? The RSM of 4 Service in Germany would throw one of the damn things in the back of your jeep when we were on exercise. They would plant them on the side of pathways and have them go off 5 feet away from the grunts. The official safe distance was 10 meters (30 feet). I don't think I saw one go off more than 20 feet in 6 years of dealing with them.
