5! Damn.

After the initial two years, permits can be renewed for 3-year periods

That’s not too bad. I still feel there should be MORE requirements to get your FOID Card and the laws need to be more strict if you’re caught with a firearm without one.

Every Five Years.

I guess each state has their own rules. I had no clue some states made you do a class again.

Every 5 yrs here, and just requires you to watch a suicide prevention vid and pay $20:

Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) can be renewed up to 90 days before it expires or within one year after expiration. To renew, applicants must watch a firearms safety/suicide prevention video and submit the renewal application, along with required documents and $20, either online, by mail, or in person.

I just sent some money in the mail to renew mine; Even though Texas is a CC State now, it's helpful to have and maintain a CHL.

Florida has followed suit with similar laws. Starting in July 2023, if you're legally allowed to possess a firearm (21yr old (18 if a veteran discharged under honorable conditions), US citizen, FL resident, no felony convictions, no violent crime history, no drug/alcohol abuse on record, physically able to safely handle a firearm, etc.) you can CC in the state without a permit (basically, if you meet the requirements for a permit, you're allowed to carry without one).

If you do go through the process to get a permit (I did), it is valid for a period of 7yrs. Renewal is basically a form, a photo, and a background check to verify you still meet the eligibility requirements for a permit (there are some extra items for an initial application or if you're past 180 days from permit expiration). Oh, and it'll cost $57 ($45 processing fee, $12 'convenience' fee but this varies by county as not all collect it).

It's been a while, but it's time for more HOT AND STEAMY Tales with ya boi Honda-Fan!

This one's a lengthy one, so grab a snack and a sugary drink!

Over the weekend my apartment's A/C unit quit (Just mine). I didn't notice it right away because I was too busy watching anime but after a while I noticed it was getting hella hot! I went over to the thermostat and noticed it had gotten two degrees hotter inside even though I wasn't doing anything to warrant that. It was also colder outside, so I knew something was kind of fishy (like a smelly Mackerel!). I continued to leave it on while I went online for answers. The first answers pointed to a dirty filter -- which seemed plausible at the time. Only problem? Machine door's inaccessible to residents, and Maintenance is gone on the weekend. The perfect storm for a Sauna Saturday and Sunday. Or... so I thought.

The heat does strange things to a man's brain
And I'm already a strange man

So after a shower to try and cool off, I get the idea to just... you know... tug on the door to the Evaporator a bit. It's supposed to be locked, but who knows?
To my luck, it was 100% unlocked.

Behold, the thang---



You see it, right? That filter is kinda dirty -- so I figured I'd got it. I went over to the store the next day and got a cheapie Filtrete that fit the dimensions. Had to jam it in there, but it did fit. Flipped the switch and got a small compressor hiss...

And then nothing. The vents? Straight up lukewarm air pumping full blast on an already hot and humid day. I held out hope it would cool down, so I left it on for an hour. BIG MISTAKE. The Results?



Now I know what you're thinking. Honda-Fan, you big dummy, just open a window. Can't! It's hotter outside!
So I accidentally Sauna'd myself over the weekend. Monday comes, and the maintenance folks do their stuff...

My Compressor was actually the culprit -- and because they had to order a replacement, they gave me a war-weary portable. I've got this guy until... probably Wednesday. My only irritation is that this absolute condensation belcher was aimed right at my manga. DISRESPECTFUL!

glad you at least got a portable unit to help with the heat till wed. That filter does look bad though.

I lowkey like the portable -- that thing gets super cold! I wish it was a little quieter and a little more capable of water retention as it shoots air. This one seems kinda old though, so I imagine that some of those concerns got ironed out in the newer models.

The air filter did seem pretty dirty, but that room that it's in was both a lot bigger than I thought, and dustier than all creation. I bet just blowing the room out with some compressed air would do wonders for the air quality in my unit overall.

It's usually NEVER the air filter, unless the filter is used for multiple years.

Are you responsible to change the filter? I can't remember if you rent or bought the place.

I'm a Renterrrrr

So I'm not responsible for changing them -- I was only able to see the unit at all because the machine door was left unlocked in my unit; I only did it in hopes of cooling off a little if that was somehow the problem. I figured if that turned out to be it, I'd just put in a request to have the filter changed, and swap the other back in before they showed up.

Right now I have my 'troubleshooting' filter in the closet. It was like 5 dollars, so I didn't lose much.

our dryer in our rental has been inop for several weeks now. we get our house on thursday so the chances of it being fixed before we fully move out are slim. landlords thought it was a good idea to buy a brand that isnt sold in our area plus its some weird german brand so parts are hard to get either way.

 

[Nomar06]

Just make sure they don't blame that on you when you move out and try to not pay back your security deposit.

Heck....you can argue they owe you money, lol
