Electricity is pretty cheap here. Supplement with a wood burning stove and you'll be in the sweet spot.

Ok trickynicky, where's that pic? You know which one...

  Sadly, I bet few people get that pun. 

Just goes to show that most criminals really are cowards.  At the first sign of opposition, they scatter like roaches when the light comes on.

        I have a cousin and her family who lived in Chesley, near Owen Sound for many years.  Beautiful country around there.  LOTS of snow in the winter!

I'm a rider and I can't imagine this happening.  I too would've mashed a few bikes and gotten the hell outa dodge.  Heading into the city was stupid, but getting cornered and attacked like that...  it would've been ugly.   This illustrates a couple points...    1) Mob mentality takes over real fast, and 2) When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

  Been there, yep.

We're headed to Edisto Island shortly.  Never been there before, but have been around the Charleston area several times.  We love good seafood, any suggestions on where to find some?  Bear in mind that we have 2 "very active" young'uns who aren't known for their ability to sit still long enough to endure a meal at a 4-star type restaurant.  Any other suggestions of things to do or places to go (or not do/go) are appreciated. 

Cool.  Not sure if we'll make it, but I'll keep it in mind.

I got the same letter too.  At least the intern that wrote the program that generates the auto-response did it correctly. 

Compression fittings are normally used on the line that runs from the hot water line to the kitchen sink over to the dishwasher.  That line can be copper, plastic, or could be a braided hose.  You'd use compression fittings on the copper or plastic but you may need an adapter if its a braided hose, depending on what kind of fittings are on it. 

Depends on who wrote the will. If done by a thoughtful attorney and properly notarized and such, it'd be pretty air tight. If done by a hack and not notarized, could easily be fought in court by the family.

Welcome back!

Welcome!    As a person who's spent a significant amount of time in the Auburn Hills, Rochester Hills, and Sterling Heights areas, I think you'll find Knoxville to be a noticeable improvement.   As for the snow thing... Yanks always tell us that they know how to drive in the snow.  Then we pull them out of the ditch.  ;)   We don't get snow, we get ice.  And it's flat in MI, there's hardly a flat spot here.  Having done both, driving in the snow in MI is completely different from here. 

What he said.... if it's kept in the garage, the tires will last much longer.  Using stuff like Armor All protectant will also help prevent the sun's UV radiation from breaking down the rubber.    When they start to develop surface cracks and dry rot, its time to think about replacement them regardless of tread wear.  I'm in the market for some new trailer tires for that exact reason. 

Interesting that this article is from 3 years ago.  And more interesting (to me at least) that's written by David Feherty (the golf announcer) whom I thoroughly enjoy listening to. 

Sorry if I sound like as smart arse, but I'm completely serious.  Buy 1 box of whatever variety you can find, where ever you can find it.  Try them and see which works best.  Some may not cycle, some may have terrible groups, some may be really dirty, ...  Then again, you may not notice much difference in any of them.  There's only 1 way to find out.

That's a darn big knife.  I've always though the kukri style knives just look mean.  Nice tomahawk too.  Wish I could find time to make such things. 

Whatever kind works best in your gun.

    Using a quality pleated air filter with MERV rating of 7-12 can improve indoor air quality considerably.  Lower than 7 doesn't really do much, above 12 restricts airflow too much is systems not designed for that type of filter.   You can buy them in bulk (modest quantities) online.  http://www.filtersfast.com/Filtrete-Micro-Red-6Pack-Filter.asp

I've had the same problem sporadically.  Sometimes it works normally, sometimes it makes a mess of things and you have to put it on a line by itself.

Looks like the wad.

Interesting.  Seems like it would weight about 20 lbs with all that stuff in it.  I'll be curious to see your review.

  Assuming the wheels are designed such that you can stick the weight in the right spot and it be out of sight, agreed.     To the OP: can't go wrong with the Michelin's.  Just make sure you intend to put another 100k on the truck.  No sense buying high dollar 100k mile tires if you're not gonna keep the truck long enough to justify the purchase.  Finding places out-of-stock is a good thing... that means they sell a lot of them.  They should be able to get them in a few days. 

  Find a nice girl who likes to bake so the oven stays at 400 deg for hours a couple days/week during the summer.  Leave the computer on for days at a time.  Leave all the wall warts plugged in all the time.  Then a few years later you'll have a couple rug rats to run around the house and turn all the lights on.  That'll fix it.  :)
